You failed to understand my clear meaning. I am not going to waste time on explanations.
That doesn't make sense? I think most people want better owners, there was an announcement saying the move was temporary then none after.
To most that would read as nothing had changed, so it was still temporary.
Obviously not very clear then is it if it doesn't make sense?You failed to understand my clear meaning. I am not going to waste time on explanations.
I don't go by the majority or minority to get an opinion.
You support wasps and they got the ricoh at the expense of the tax payer.
The taxpayer was forced to take this deal because the alternative was worse.
So why the big secret? I'd they had done the tax payer a huge favour it would have been all over the paper.The taxpayer was forced to take this deal because the alternative was worse.
Is the real problem that Sisu could not finance ACL with the profile of a L1 club ?
Isn't financial gain the reason we keep being told we have to move?
Let's say for instance that we'd all decided that it was OK to go to Sixfields because it was "temporary". Next thing you get is the FL saying 34miles clearly isn't too far, if their owners want to move to Hinckley, Rugby, Leamington or Warwick we can approve that because they don't mind traveling 34 miles 15,20 or 25 miles will be acceptable.
There's more than one way attending Sixfields could have backfired.
For instance, if no one and I do mean no one attended we'd have been home for Xmas in my opinion. Not only that of we'd reinstated ourselves as anchor tenant it might have deflected wasps interests or even have put CCC in a position where they'd have to rebuff wasps interest and persevere with trying to find a solution with SISU.
Leaving the Ricoh lost us all claim to the Ricoh and the longer we were away the easier it got for someone else to take over.

Ha why do you put temporary in speech marks? Can you post the link on the ccfc site confirming where the permanent move was to?
If we moved full time to survive 80 miles away then I assume italia and the trust would be bigging it up, I'd be out though.
How do you know what the alternative was? How do you know it was the best option when the Ricoh was never placed on the open market?

The whole move was temporary, the fl agreed to a temporary move and the sixfields situation was temporary wasn't it?There's plenty of reference in the CT from ML, TF and possibly even JS in her LR exclusive. If I could be arsed to look I'd think it's almost certainly in the SCG minutes that get posted on the clubs site. I'm sure I don't need to tell you this though.
Can you show me where it says that we're only moving temporarily out of Coventry and we'll be back for the Gillingham game?
The club comes first. As such, we have moved on. We are entirely focused on the new stadium build. The plans will be developed in full consultation with the fans.
Please be absolutely clear, there has never been any intention to leave Coventry in the long term – just temporarily while the new stadium is constructed in the immediate vicinity of Coventry. This should take less than three years.
Is there any chance of City playing at the Ricoh Arena next season?
None. We have left the Ricoh Arena but that does not mean the club is leaving the Coventry area for good.
The Ricoh was put on the open market the moment the council leader went public and said that they'd listen to any serious offer for it. It's BS to suggest otherwise.
Pointless coment.
We can't move 15 miles without loosing our fanbase or creating another one.
I'd be gone if the location is not related to Coventry.
The same as slating locals at sixfields then going to watch waspsAnd yet you are a paying supporter of wasps.....
Hypocrisy of the highest order.

Only when its a bullshit post.
7000 ?
Blaze the franchise?
It's a wonder it isn't already considering the hate of franchises on here. Oh hold on it's nothing to do with franchises really is it ?

I'm a little confused. I thought we were back playing in Coventry at the Ricoh but we're being told in this thread when we moved to Sixfields it was a permanent move away from Coventry.
And yet you are a paying supporter of wasps.....

I can walk there, doesn't mean I'd support villa they played the re. I support a team not a stadium.Its all about distance not franchise. I can walk up to the Ricoh.
Still struggling ?

I didn't say we would be back for Gillingham, or back at the ricoh. Just that that situation was temporary, if it changed I'd have judged it then
So where were we going to be after the temporary move? Perhaps you can show me on the clubs website where it said that we were definitely moving back to the City of Coventry?
I don't claim to know where after and as I've said I'd have judged it as and when.So where were we going to be after the temporary move? Perhaps you can show me on the clubs website where it said that we were definitely moving back to the City of Coventry?
What is BS is to suggest that CCC went to the slightest effort to ensure best value for the taxpayer. You would put more effort into marketing a clapped out old banger than they did ACL.
Potential buyers could be local, national or international. They aren't all keeping an eye on the CT or an ear to CWR in case Lucas happens to make an off the cuff comment.
To market ACL and achieve best price it should be obvious to anyone there is a much more thorough process to go through than the one which CCC undertook. At no point did they appoint an agent to market ACL, at no point were promotional materials created and distributed.
Perhaps you can show where it says it was a permanent move to Sixfields?
I don't claim to know where after and as I've said I'd have judged it as and when.
You don't know either, but have made your mind up. I didn't know so couldn't decide.
It was always labelled as temporary to Northampton.
I can walk there, doesn't mean I'd support villa they played the re. I support a team not a stadium.
So it's never about morals just Convenience? Strange you had an issue with the locals at Northampton going to our games.
Why? Where have I ever claimed that the move to Sixfields was or was supposed to be permanent? I said that it was said that we were never returning to the Ricoh or the City of Coventry which I'm sure you know is correct as you're trying to twist what I actually said was said into something I didn't actually said.
So you didn't know but you were happy to give SISU and the FL the OK that it could be anything up to 35 miles away.
That's right I didn't know either. That's why I chose not to risk endorsing either SISU or the FL to move our club away from the City of Coventry.
Yes the move to Northampton was only ever going to be temporary. It wasn't necessary and it was supposed to be the start of a permanent move out of the City of Coventry. Something you seem to be blissfully ignorant to.
I see each situation differently.
Never watched live PL rugby but I do now because I can walk up.
Northampton was to support Sisu takeover of the Ricoh. Why couldn't they just pay Higgs what Higgs paid them to help them out.
Franchising? Never gave it a thought.
