You still haven't said where Sisu are getting the rest of the money from? The council had land to sell. Sisu have half a bag of Hula Hoops and a Curly Wurly.

No, the council still the biggest contributor. As you pointed out they used the money from selling THEIR land to Tesco. That was the biggest contribution. CCFC put nothing in.

Nothing wrong with trying to get a bargain. I wouldn't try and destroy the seller though in order to save myself a few quid. We shouldn't consider the interests of a third party? Presumably your OK with the damage done to stadium MK then? Maybe we should do it more often, after all it doesn't...

The Ricoh project cost the club circa £6m, when the club ran out of money the Higgs trust bought this from them for a similar value. Ask OSB, he has all the figures.

I don't have to justify myself to you. But I'll humour you. As a Coventry resident, why would I want to give sisu something that I own a share in for less than market value? Also I very much doubt your friends said that. I've never heard of anyone finding it strange that somebody expects...

All factually correct, yet nothing there says to me the Ricoh only cost £10m to build. Its like trading your old car in for £5k against a new one for £7k then claiming that a new car can be bought for £2k. CCFC whilst building a new ground do not have land worth £60m to sell to Tesco do they?

Tesco paid for land bought from the council. That land was an asset of the city of Coventry. Do you expect it to be given away for free? The council/citizens of Coventry had an asset in land to the value of £40m. That asset was sold to Tesco, then money used was put towards Ricoh building...

Why not? You seem happy to have the council and Higgs trust to put all the investment into the Ricoh only for sisu to get it for free.

£10m Ricoh! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Your funny. Also please could you tell me when exactly the club were locked out? Some sort of newspaper article will do, only I think your lying about it.

Yes, and the offer was rejected. http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/city_statement_on_acl_offer_772025/index.shtml

Ok, lets assume fans sold out the shithole every week. These are just rough figures, but the ratio of loss is whats important. 7250 fans paying an average of £13 a ticket equates to income of £2.16m. Discount the £150k rent, leaves the club with £2.01m. 11000 fans paying an average of £15 a...

That would have made financial sense though wouldn't it? Persuade me that moving to Northampton was better for the club than staying at the Ricoh and paying the rent.

Regardless of whether £1.3m is "right", the club is loosing far more by not paying the rent, which in turn will affect FFP, meaning your beloved team will be broken up and sold. The club simply could have stayed whilst working out a solution with ACL.

Yes, they didn't have to take us to Northampton. We have a perfectly good ground in Coventry.

Can I just ask, do you think its wrong for CCFC to be playing in Northampton? Because the likes of you, RFC, and trueskyblue, all seem to like us playing there. Because of that I have to question your loyalty to your city.

Yes

Not entirely. Still have Crewe & Peterborough as localish games. Also Notts County give a generous allocation, no reason why that cant be a mini MK Dons. Then theres Sheffield United, Rotherham, Bristol City, all pretty easy to get too.
