The whole thing seems odd. It seems US based, hence paying in $, he won't get any publicity over there for this and everyone who has looked at the site has said it's terrible. It might be free advertising but that's not much use to him if everyone thinks it's a crackpot idea and his website is...

Do you ever read this forum, people will moan about anything! :laugh:

Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't. If it wasn't covered you would have people moaning that CT aren't covering it, love SISU, love CCC or some other rubbish. The website is shocking though and doesn't even cover the basics you get on sites like kickstarter such as what risk there is, when you...

I would assume the nearer they get to the boundary the more cooperation they need from CCC in terms of any infrastructure changes. If we can't build it in Coventry as CCC will block it would that not rule out site right by the boundary? What potential sites are there that could be covered by...

Few more seasons at Sixfields and they'll be paying people to go! We must have the cheapest tickets in the FL.

If the modular design allowed the capacity to be reduced as well as upgraded that might actually be a viable option in the future. One of the issues with a new stadium is that it won't hold its value as there will be a much better stadium located in the city that any future owner will want to...

Interesting. Seems quite low when only OAP and kids season tickets would be that cheap, wonder what it is that's pulling the average down. Would be interesting to see a breakdown (full prices, kids etc) but I doubt that info is available. Expect there will be quite a big drop for this season...

I can see where the confusion has come from, that could be read as no single ticket cost more than £10 rather than a season average. Are you referring to the last season we spent at the Ricoh? Would be interesting to see how much, if at all, that price has dropped under SISUs ownership. Do you...

You mean other than the manager and players saying it has in interviews?

Neither the Goldstone or Eastville are what you would term state of the art, best in the division stadiums however I doubt anyone on here follows either team closely enough to know what, if any, impact it had on their ability to sign or retain players. Given that we've already had Pressley say...

If this does actually go anywhere what are the odds that we'll see complaints from Nuneaton Town and Bedworth United?

My concern is that we have so little value in the way of assets you can't rule out SISU being vindictive and winding up the club just to make a point to the Council. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

I think we'll either be back at the Ricoh or cease to exist. A new ground just isn't financially viable and SISU must know this, it would be absolute madness to go down that route so it will be the Ricoh or nothing. Things will probably be clearer after the JR, at least I hope so as I can't take...

I would have thought the majority of fans want Coventry playing in Coventry as a priority. The point is SISU just state it's not possible to build in Coventry when that's not true, at most CCC could cause a delay - the same delay they are likely to get at any site due to objections. In my...

Chances are any site they pick for a stadium will have the same problems. Has any stadium ever flown straight through the planning process? Can't be many if any at all exist. And of course fairly early on in the process it goes above CCC. Again this would be an easy way for SISU to get...

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of ticket sales to arrive at a £10 a ticket average. Given we struggle to even publish accounts I doubt that info is available. If you work on the basis that only JSB, OAP and complimentary tickets come in at less than £10 and a lot of single match...

Exactly right but the problem is our owners insist ownership is the only viable option and dismiss a long leasehold.

There's two ways off looking at it. One is that Higgs were doing us a favour and should therefore get back what they put in. The question was asked why they were asking for more than the original price, a possible reason for this is to account for inflation. The second way would be selling...

If you account for inflation then to get back what they put in Higgs would need to sell for £8.7m.

Is that a serious question? It's been explained over and over again why stadium ownership is not required. In short stadium ownership does not give SISU access to a single penny of extra revenue. Ownership of ACL, or ownership of the lease, gives access to revenues,
