Still don't understand why the FL are getting so much grief for allowing the club to move out of Coventry though?
Basically you're saying that whatever people charge for the rent, whoever the owners are, ACL, Sisu,Otium, PH1V, that as it's the only suitable ground for League Football in Coventry that you'd have to take it even if it was £10million?
It's why clubs and grounds should always be indivisable.
Sounds like a great article. Where can I buy it?

It might not be appropriate given the current context, but having actually taken 2 small children to their first ever game where they were given an excellent experience in the stadium (apart from the 90 minutes of football) so I think some recognition is fair.
Are you buying the Ricoh and going to charge £10million rent a year?
Rumbled, Sherrif Fatman!
And all the families that couldn't go? Recognition?

Isn't this CET agenda doing a discredit to the hard working members of staff of CCFC?
No one writes songs like that anymore do they. Went to see Jim Bob last year in a pub in Birmingham. Quality night!If you flash him a smile he'll take your teeth as deposit.

Aah Sherrif fatman. Just been on youtube to watch a bit of Carter....cheers for the memory recharge!
What recognition do you expect?
I said that it maybe was not the most appropriate thing given what is going on but why should the children that do go not be given a first class experience?? So the ones that don't won't feel left out? Most children that do or don't go will have that decision made by their parents.
Isn't really an insult is it? People just life to have something to be angry about.
I think it is insulting Nick. The club takes the team out of the reach of many families, some of whom have family memorials at the Ricoh and long, long histories of supporting the club. The club then wins an award for how it treats is customers???? You don't think some people feel insulted?
Really they have met a 'standard' rather than winning an award.
What with all the fuss it's creating they must be beside themselves at CT Towers. Probably planning another piece for people to froth over.
The Northampton situation is shit but this isn't about that specific situation.

Great Post!
Do you know what the criteria was?
I still think the club could have been much better with PR for kids and OAP's.
I presume you mean £10M per season? If so, I doubt any of us would think that was fair and would probably back SISU moving us out, for the good of the club. However, in terms of money in and out (and based on the virtually "rent free" kind of money ACL allegedly offered via the FL) I would assume its costing the club more to be in Northampton. I'm sure the FL could take action if they really wanted to, but it seems they don't want to rock the boat.
Dunno what the criteria was Nick. I would think due to the outrage it's the facilities at Sixfields, something I have no experience of so can't offer an opinion on that. If it was getting families involved in the community, Northampton aside, the club do seem to do a fair bit in that respect - which they publicise on the official web site.
Just seen Central News, the reporter there said it was based on the reaction of people watching games at Sixfields - not necessary Cov fans, could be the proper away fans too.

Apparently two families not connected with the club or area it comes from .
A bit like Mystery Customer/diner assessment that goes on In Retail and Dining .
Proper away fans?

£10million an obviously exaggerated figure, but no club should be "forced" to play in a stadium because there is no other choice in the area, just asking to be held to ransom.
That applies everywhere, not just Coventry of course.

Serious question then, as the Football League claims it wants to get tough on financial mismanagement of clubs, should the FL be allowed to force a club to play in a venue that will be better for its short and long term financial position?
I really don't see what the fuss is about, they reached /surpassed a criteria, they're given an award for it. The fact that we play 30 odd miles away isn't part of the criteria. Well done to those Coventry fans that give up their time for free to make the experience as good as it is for the kids despite SISU.
Because it's ridiculous that the criteria can't take things like our situation into account, it's like winning a clean beach award because you tick the box for low litter, no sewage and crystal clear water oh but the local power plant pumps radioactive water out onto the beach, no matter.
ccfc might have ticked the football league boxes but the simple fact of the matter is we are the worst club in England to support this year for families, a few familys might be happy but 90% of them arn't so it's a complete utter farce to award them for it.
It's nothing like that at all, is it?
Yes it is, that beach shouldn't get a clean beach award because it's not clean even though it ticked the boxes.

One if the boxes would be an assessment of its cleanliness. What an absurd statement.
Yes it is, that beach shouldn't get a clean beach award because it's not clean even though it ticked the boxes and coventry city shouldn't get an award for being good for families despite ticking boxes because ccfc probably is the worst club in the country to support for families.
"matchday entertainment that delivers a money can’t buy experience for young fans"
like being fired as a Coventry Ball Boy/Girl because despite living in Coventry and being a ball boy/girl for Coventry you are no where near the home games, so fired on mass. money can't buy, never to be forgotten experience,
