Son of snoz you might well be right but I sincerely hope SISU as such never get to own the stadium. I have repeatedly said on here a deal ought to be sought where the football club own the stadium not necessarily the football clubs owners. That sounds twisted at first thought but think about...

Again I must disagree. It does matter if something was there first and in this scenario a stadium which gets full of people and generates noise, traffic etc. If it did not matter then we would never get anything operating would we? What matters here is objections can as you well know, come from...

My goodness how everyone is treating the ordinary hard working football fan and his families with such contempt is nothing short of a disgrace. Shame on the lot of them. I can't help wonder sometimes with the price we are expected to pay too, just how football has lost it's way. We have...

It's a bit of a conundrum this. They may well do poorly and fewer fans will go but equally it might just be without all that added pressure we seem to suffer from normally at Coventry City we might just have that 'I don't care, what we got to lose' spirit among the players? Afterall they each...

Poor old O. Got to go to bed when told or he might find himself in Siberia when his in-laws get hold of him. ;)

Disagree with this issue about planning. I personally went to a high court to overturn a similar situation in Dorset a number of years ago and I assure you who was there first does have an implication. Theory is you can't cry wolf when you moved in knowing there was a stadium there. That's one...

Keep a lid on it Jack, I laid doubt on it, I never said I wanted it. I was commenting on the scenario of a stadium being used more to generate income streams which is the whole point is it not? Wembley use to hold speedway, the Millennium does now. Footfall is obviously a factor in any decision...

I don't know if this would ever come to fruition but the idea of a new stadium that included a speedway track I like. It would certainly add to the income streams?! Brandon is as good as Coventry as far as I'm concerned. People have no qualms getting to the speedway so I don't think football...

Well BSB answer that yourself! What do you want them to do? Nothing? Can they at least be proactive? Are you suggesting there is nothing they can do? Do they even want to try? Should they try? You see BSB you should never just accept something without first try, try again. It's never over till...

..let me expand a little: ACL's offer was not for any income streams from the stadium, it did include a huge climb down on previous rent but still some £400k plus match day cost on top! It did not include any ownership of the Ricoh, neither freehold or leasehold. It was really a carry on...

I see so some of you believe that whatever ACL offered was good for the football club and should have been accepted?

Both sides are about as culpable as each other with their attitude and responses while ignoring the supporters. These two sides MUST find a way to fix this and do the obvious by agreeing one way or another to play in Coventry, preferably at the Ricoh Arena.

Think what must be understood here is not the 'hard core' such as those that occupy forums like this and bleed sky blue but the 10% of the 300,000 or so general public with their families and friends who go every week or most other weeks at home games from around the city of Coventry. That is...

This is not about playing out of town temporarily as much as where? For me Northampton is a bit of a stretch to use as a home venue. Some 70 odd miles round trip? Had they shared at a closer ground then it would make better sense but so far away starts to disassociate many fans from the club...

Could it be a match by match basis only with a caveat agreed with the FL to returning to the Ricoh at some point in the season if some middle ground could be found with ACL/Council? Options have to remain open surely? If not I fear what will be left after 3 years in Northampton? This could...

70 mile round trip for Coventrian's to watch a home game? Are the season tickets free? ;)

I want our away 'Brazil' kit please! ;)

I look at that team and see bombing full backs, a very good striker at this level and a decent keeper. Plus an attacking midfielder/playmaker in baker worth afew goals and think to myself it's a half decent team tbh. they are experienced in this league now, we have youth and experience and the...

With all that is going on off the pitch and the lack of any news from the club, I thought we should remind ourselves of what we have as a team to start the season with? I appreciate we may get some in but just to get us thinking football for 5 minutes anyone want a stab at the line up? I can't...

This is definitely not like GMK and never will be! Mind you there are a fair few asylum seekers with us over here...:)
