The way I see it is If SISU were to build a new ground, then we will almost certainly be in Northampton for 3/5yrs If CCC sold SISU the Ricoh, then we would be back in Coventry a lot sooner

What you say Fred, is a worrying possibility. I honestly think that the minute SISU acquire the Ricoh, they will sell it along with CCFC as a package. If they are too greedy and do not get a buyer, then what you say about charging rent could very likely happen. Any sale could have caveats put...

Your asking a hell of a lot:claping hands:

Point taken My concern is that there are many who will not follow CCFC if they are not in the City of Coventry. For me, outskirts of Coventry not a problem. The Ricoh is hardly Coventry central.

Options 1 and 2 not realistic. CCC would not give planning permission for a new stadium whilst the Ricoh still existed.

Its quite clear from the replies received so far, that the majority will not set foot in Sixfields. Even if SISU agreed to purchase the Ricoh or showed proof of land purchase and plans for a new stadium. Clearly, the majority want to see the end of SISU. Do you not think that there is more...

The way the team are performing, gates of 7000 should not be a problem. However, we all know why the gates are low, so what would it take to fill Sixfields. Maybe, the Trust could ask the stay away fans, what would it take to go to Sixfields and then issue an ultimatum to SISU. Would...

Our, meaning CCFC

Why would anyone support a breakaway club at this moment in time? We have potentially the best team and manager for a long time. The play offs are definately possible. A breakaway club playing at the Ricoh would no doubt be paying rent to ACL, as they could not afford ownership of the Ricoh. I...

Gould once caught Sheridan smoking and made him chain smoke a whole packet

As mentioned before. SISU are apparently prepared to take a financial hit over the next 3-5 yrs. Their hope is that it will bring ACL down and force CCC to offer a deal to purchase the Ricoh. The financial blow is a lot bigger than SISU expected as they did not envisage NOPM and gates of around...

Could this be an option? Positives Already a ground in place which is plenty big enough to support our current fan base. Closer than Northampton and 11k from Ricoh. CCFC would own a ground a lot quicker and cheaper than buying land and looking for planning permission. Any increase in...

Good news surely? At least its not in Northampton

There is no doubt that NOPM is working. Having said this, I have no doubt that SISU could find the funds to buy the Ricoh at a fair price or build a new stadium. The situation re the pathetic gates at Sixfields has shocked SISU. It has thrown their budget which nobody understood anyway, way out...

ACL got club to sign what mortgage?

Does anyone think that once this has happened, we will finally see some movement, in terms of either building our own stadium or purchasing the Ricoh? Cannot help thinking that the reason there is nothing firm regarding a new stadium, is because the Judicial review could go in favour of SISU...

You could be correct. What I cannot understand is A. Why did SISU buy CCFC, surely they would have known the Rent was unsustainable B. Why has it taken 6 years for SISU to realise this and do something about it.

Pretty sure that the reason was ACL would not agree to this. Before the admin process started, TF wanted ACL to agree to a run off period of 3 years.

I remember TF saying prior to admin, that they had approached ACL/CCC to have a new rent agreement with a run off period of 3 years. This was rejected. Obviously, if SISU/ACL could agree a deal where CCFC played at the Ricoh for the next 3 years instead of NTFC and get all matchday revenue...
