The goalposts do keep quite slightly moving don't they on this. Also find it odd that Wasps would want to come and play here when nearly all their fans say they won't come and watch. You also have to remember how much further away we are talking here compared to us and Northampton. Seems to...

As she's quite a diddy lady, that would be a three and a halfsome.

It's what i fear about any new stadium too. The owners may well say 15,000 or 18,000, but when push came to shove I would expect it to be built a lot more cheaply that first mooted (remember Arena 2000 and retractable pich? Roof?) and it to end up a much smaller capacity too.

The Butts Arena has a capacity of just 4,000. Looking at the ground there, there is very little scope for expansion. Hotels and flats etc. have been built or are being built as we very speak. Would guess the biggest it could ever be would be 10,000.

And, also, put it this way. Let's say for a moment that the vast Wasps fans wanted this move to the Ricoh. Do we really believe for a second they would care one jot if it meant us being kicked out of our home? I think it's really decent that some on here would be totally against the move even...

As I have said, from the council's perspective, if they believe the deal beneifts all parties then of course they will vote yes. Wasps fans won't even enter their thinking, same as with Northampton with us. I'm sure their chairman at Sixifelds didn't think about City fans for more than a fleeing...

Just 'Thanks for your comments and I will certainly take them into consideration.'

Sorry, should have worded mine better. 'Seen in the eyes of CCC as being best for the city.' They do quite often have a very blinkered approach to these things unfortunately.

Well, as I have said before, we should all write to our local councillors. I have written to my 3, 2 Labour and 1 Conservative. Had replies from the 2 Labour councilors. Nothing from the Tory one.

It is wrong. No doubt about that. Just can't see how it could feasibly be seen as being wrong for CCC though. They have to do the best deal they can for this city. That's business unfortunately and they simply will not have the same sense of moral code that nearly all of us on here have...

Can't see any nails being broken, as it will all be stuck together with Pritt Stick. No nails involved.

It may well be ethically improper for us. I would agree that it is from our perspective. But from the council's perspective? If they believe this is a good deal for the people of Coventry and won't harm CCFC or CRFC then they are obviously going to vote for for it. I am guessing they have got...

I never realised that Jonathan Gould believed he was so bad! :o

You have had enough but you are lifelongcityfan? ;)

And if they did come here, I would urge every rugby loving fan in the city to boycott all their games. I've never been to a rugby game before, though have been tempted on the odd occasion to see Cov play, but I would never, ever go into the ricoh to watch Wasps play any 'home' games for sure.

Yes, agree, NW. I simply do not want Wasps here. But for the SBT they are the SBT, the Sky Blue Trust. It would be totally wrong of them to put the Wasps interests before our own. That has to be secondary to their thinking. For what its worth, I myself just cannot see Wasps coming in and CCFC...

They don't believe that though and I'm not sure sure it is either. I can't see how this can be good news for CCFC, but with so many rumours flying around and talk of Ranson's grubby hands all over it, who's to say this deal doesn't include CCFC somehow.

Surely it's pointless having this same debate all over again ad nauseum. Some people think he's doing okay, some people think he is dogshit. Can't see the point of continually arguing the point, when obviously some people's views are so entrenched they are never going to change their minds...

Yes, true. The word I got back from the SBT was one of obviously doing the best thing for Coventry City as their priority. If Ranson was to be somehow involved with a takeover I'm sure it will be a case of out of the frying pan into the fire.
