Surely if it was as easy as that and you could build a brand new stadium that gives you extra revenue but costs you nothing every club with a shabby old ground would be doing it? I would be amazed if CCFC end up owning this new stadium, only difference will be we're paying rent to a SISU...

You're going in the wrong car park! It's £7 for 4 hours in the O2 car park or £11 in the NCP.

bands that can fill stadiums will have the venue hired by their booking agent. smaller bands or other events that would be suitable for the jag hall will more often than not be paid events where the venue promoter (I would assume in our case ACL) pay a set fee for the event or band. Something...

At some point SISU will have to walk away. The worry is they are so stubborn they would kill us off out of spite before letting anyone else takeover.

if it's true that the utilities have been turned back on and maintenance is being done then it must be fairly likley its for us. if we do end up there I can only see one of 2 things happening. ACL eventually give in and we move back to the Ricoh or we end up there long term. First it will be 3...

It would be a flat fee to hire the stadium, for that ACL would be expected to provide some services such as stewarding, local crew etc. The hire fee is probably a lot lower than you would expect as there are way more stadiums wanting these events than there are shows to fill them. The areas they...

Or they could have a football team playing 20 plus times a year and as many concerts as they want in the close season (which is when stadium bands are touring) like other stadiums do. Why should it be one or the other? Besides that you would struggle to get 4 stadium shows a year, especially...

It's similar to the setup at the Ricoh in that the club don't own the freehold but they do own the lease so I would assume any deal for us to play there would have to be made with WFC and if their manager has been told it isn't happening then I would be inclined to think he's right. They didn't...

I have no idea if legal action can be taken or not but I've said for a while the Trust really should be putting pressure on the league. It's one of the few things they can actually do that might have an impact. It's easy for the FL to send a cut and paste reply to individuals but if the Trust...

feel the same, sometimes I wish I'd never set foot in Highfield Road when I was a kid. Sure my wife would agree as she has to put up with me being in a bad mood whenever we've lost or SISU / ACL / CCC have made another one of their statements. she won't even be in the same room now when the...

all the statement says is still considering their options and repeats the can play free while in admin thing

It's a tricky question. In some ways I wish I could just flick a switch and forget all about the club, there's certainly not much fun involved in being a Coventry supporter. Problem is, for me at least, it doesn't work like that. Not being local I can't get to a huge number of home games anyway...

SISU don't want to listen, the Football League don't want to listen so is it worth targeting advertisers & sponsors saying we will no longer use their services / products? Maybe if pressure starts coming onto SISU and the FL from them we might see something happen.

I think with a lot of statements you need to look at exactly what is being said. "no formal discussions" implies there has been informal discussions which would be the only type they could have with SISU as they haven't actually taken us out of admin. That statement could easily mean everything...

they're selling tickets for one of the preseason games from the barrow in tescos.

with another buyer there would be a CVA (either approved by the creditors or not, in the case of not then another points penalty) which would be a p in the £ however I remember reading of one club who paid 0.2p in the £ so your debt doesn't go but it is massively reduced and you don't have to...

well I suppose technically speaking we're still in admin so that offer is still there but I would assume having given SISU the preferred bidder status the administrator is assuming we will be out of admin before the start of the season and therefore it's not his problem.

Without listening back to the forums I can't remember what he said but I do recall there was a we can't announce anything until something happens and that something might be exit administration which I don't think they've done yet. Can anyone remember what he said. Really don't want to have to...

You could read it that way or you could read it as there's no valid lease anymore but we'll let you play here anyway for free while in admin. Why was there a requirement to have a seperate deal for the last 3 games of last season if there was a valid lease in place? The administrator surely...

Normally there would be a CVA which will be a p in the £ offer would be made but I'm not sure that's what's happening here. As far as I can work out the only debt is to ACL and that is being paid off in full. There then seems to be some sort of debt to equity swap, I would guess some or all of...
