The FA, Football League, UEFA and FIFA need to get a grip. Put strict rules in place and if the EU or anyone else start telling them they aren't allowed to challenge them. Look at the likes of the NHL, you can't get away with any of this shit there they just don't stand for it.

just listening back to it again, Labovitch states that the Rioch is unsustainable with £14m of debt (what he calls huge debts). Given that this stadium is a third of the size and missing all the additonal facilities how low are SISU going to have to keep the borrowing. Well either that or he's...

Didn't Garlick say she'd seen the plans yet this morning Labovitch said there were no plans and they would be shown to fans as soon as they were ready?

You don't have a problem that for a third of our games we would be locking people out of the stadium? You don't have a problem that we will be losing a major revenue stream? When that causes the average to drop shall we take out a few more seats and lower the capacity?

Where did you find that? Any more pics of Brentford's stadium? Nice to see we're now aiming to be at a lower level than Brentford.

The key word there is average. 8 games last season had crowds that would have been too big for the proposed stadium, a further 2 probably would have been when you take into account home / away split and segregation. That of course means that even if we had a similar season attendance wise (don't...

Well that's confirmation then, clealy if they were bluffing they would make sure the Coventry Observer knew all about it.

The club had an option to buy back a 50% stake in ACL, and therefore access to 50% of the revenues, yet they never exercised that option. ACL also offered a rental deal that would give the club ACLs share of matchday revenues, rejected by the club. If they purchased 50% of ACL with a view...

The whole embargo thing did it. Had they just put a picture up on the website it would have just been more rubbish from SISU that few belive. Hyping it up with the embargo made it seem like huge news.

That says it all to me. Those that don't follow our plight that closely such as the BBC and Sky Sports can clearly see what's going on. At the same time we have a small minority of our fanbase totally taken in by it!

Can't be worse the HR can it?

Maybe they do, maybe that's part of their plan. Have the stadium somewhere they know will gets loads of objections so they can claim they're trying to build it but other people are blocking them.

are the circus getting the pie money :whistle:

I think that must be it as nothing on that picture looks modular. Problem with that is the ground will look unfinished for years. Surely it would work out cheaper to put all the seats in at once and just cover those not needed like they did in the corners at the Rioch. Added bonus that if you...

He's just a businessman employeed by SISU. You would never see him at a Coventry game if he wasn't paid to be there. That said you don't have to be a fan to work somewhere, I've seen a job at Southampton I might apply for and I'm not suddenly going to start supporting Saints. The question would...

Sorry, that ended up being a bit of a rant and a lot longer than I intended it to be!

For a couple of hours yesterday I was quite excited and thought we might actually be getting some good news but this just seems like something that's been knocked up quickly as a response to the articles on the survey results. An artist’s impression is meaningless, at the very least we need...

Didn't the football league say they hadn't seen any of this?

Just to change the subject for a minute here's the full details of Pompey's new ground which will replace Fratton Park http://www.dezeen.com/2007/04/27/portsmouth-fc-by-herzog-de-meuron/ It's due to open in 2012 :D

No they haven't, in June Fisher said in a couple of weeks we would have all the details - plans, location etc. We're now 6 months into a 3 year project and there's no plans, just an artists impression, there's no site, and we're told that is now months away, they've not even applied for planning...
