    Attendance v Walsall

    One thing that Tuesday nights attendance does prove is the a 12-15k stadium at the BPA wouldn't even be adequate for a wet January midweek game in league one. All this success isn't boding well for SISU's bluffs.

    Joe Cole

    It's worse than that. Before Cole was born dinosaurs roamed the earth. Since he was born there's not been one confirmed sighting of a dinosaur. 100% proof that Cole is responsible for the extinction of the dinosaur. What a bastard.

    You tell me. You've clearly been and looked at the figures so stop playing silly buggers and make your point if you do indeed have one.

    2008? That's very specific. It's almost as if it's the only year that will prove whatever "point" you're trying to make. Why don't you compare what's been confirmed for this year with something more current and up to date? Say 2014 or 2015.

    Big announcement tomorrow - Ricoh Arena

    Wasn't it more like £150k and the reason they claimed that they wouldn't do it was because it would have meant that there wouldn't have been enough money available to have the Godiva festival which had already been announced, planned and promoted?

    Joe Cole

    I thought his touch was sublime last night, clearly he has some way to go on the fitness front but I felt that you can see he's hungry to play. I can't see him doing anything but improving with every game now as he gets more and more match fit.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Not sure that the council ever ran ACL but it must be pretty clear even to you that ACL have upped their game somewhat since Wasps have taken over. Seems to me wether you like it or not more is happening at the Ricoh than ever and that can only take the pressure off any requirements for paying...

    Was that a yes or a no?

    Wasn't alot of that debt taken care of with the bonds? I don't know what their expectations were of average gates after they moved. Personally I think there was always going to be a big initial interest and it would then drop off and again personally both the initial figures and the drop off...

    Probably because he knew what everyone else in the world knew. I doubt it was some TF insight and even if it was stuff that no one outside of ACL knew for sure I'd have trouble believing it was down to TF himself, he'd have been reading from a provided script.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Oh well, I did say possibly. Let's say then that it's a true 365 day a year when compared to your average stadium. My original point still stands though. Anyone who thinks that wasps attendance figures are the deal breaker is possibly going to be disappointed as they can optimise many other...

    Mcginnity passed away

    They were saying on CWR that when he took over the club was in a whole for £60M and he got that down to £25M.

    He could. If you throw enough shit something is going to stick sooner than later ;)

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    If you're going to quote me at least have the decency to quote the point in it's entirety, did you stop reading after that one line or something? What I said in full was "The truth is that it is possibly the only true 365day a year sports stadium in the country. Yes ticket revenue will be...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Name them "few stadiums" then and give a brief overview of how they generate that 365 day a year revenue. And no I didn't move the goal posts. I actually said in my OP that "they have plenty of other revenue streams to be capitalized on". Now if you're unaware of the other revenue streams that...

    In which case if you truly believe what you've just posted you must be delighted that we didn't buy it. Given that we're a football club that's been losing millions for years and has tens of millions historical debt. Surely using your logic it would have been a recipe for disaster.

    Can either of you think of another ground with casino, hotel, exhibition hall etc?

    The minutes silence was pretty impeccable in the end. Well done everyone.
