Boycott food & drink at the Ricoh. (1 Viewer)

Its fairly obvious that if ACL are making a few quid out of the Catering etc from City matches then the more they make the more likely they will value the presence of CCFC and give them a better deal on the rent. Lets be frank, the football club, the council, ACL, the local pubs and food outlets all benefit from a busy Ricoh with maximum spend from the visitors in CV6. Maybe we should think along the lines of the whole Coventry economy and the benefits a succesful club would bring to the whole community.

Never purchased food from the Ricoh as I have always seen it as an overpriced rip off.

As for wanting SISU to own the ground that is a big hell no from me as first and foremost I am a Coventry City council tax payer so as long as the council have 50% of The Ricoh and we have events and gigs like Coldplay appearing there it only has a positive effect on my payments in keeping them low!

If it was sold to SISU they would remortgage it to the hilt the forego on maypents and we would loose a cash cow to some big conglomerate.

So you consider yourself a Council Tax before a Coventry City fan? Yes, I am sure that a few concerts at the Ricoh go a long way to keep your council tax down.

It has already been stated by the council that if a share of the stadium was sold that there would be certain contractual conditions put in place to ensure that doesn't happen.

Better than being a sisu fan like you.

And ACL and the players can testify just how good and trustworthy SISU are at honouring contracts they sign up to

Did sisu sign a contract with ACL, I though the contract was signed in 2005?

I'll never forget the time I got told last season that "oh no, we don't heat the pies here...they're...err...umm..coming from the other place". When I asked where this other place was, and when they were coming, I got "Erm...well, the thing is.... I don't know." :facepalm:

Sounds mysterious, like they're being beamed in from some sort of astral plane.

I have never been a fan of SISU.

The people who were the most pro-SISU & Ranson are now the ones who are the most anti-SISU.

My food experience at the Ricoh tends to be:

Wait the whole of half time in a queue.
Get to the front.
Order a balti pie.
Neanderthal has to walk to the other end of the bar to check stock.
Returns to say they're out of balti pies.
I ask if they've got any steak and kidney (or whatever).
Neanderthal returns to other end of the bar to check.
Returns and says they do have one left.
"I'll have a steak and kidney pie please."
Neanderthal takes far too much of my money.
Neanderthal returns to retrieve steak and kidney pie.
Neanderthal presents me with a very sad looking pie.
I miss a goal returning to my seat.
Pie turns out to be chicken and mushroom.

I gave up this game a long time ago.

Never buy anything, to expensive, just nip in Tesco/Boots etc before the game, at least half the price. Food inside football ground is generally a rip off, although £1.50 for a coffee at Tranmere was not bad.

If they'd been beamed, they may actually be warm!

Yes I do consider myself a Council Tax payer first, why? I'd rather pay someone to do a half decent job to empty my bins and keep the streets safe than contribute to that bunch of feckless wonders we laughably call a football team. Go on bang your drum about sticking with them throught thick and thin well I don't buy it, I want to spend my hard earned money on being entertained not watching someone not giving a bugger who is on at least £1k a week because they have had their apperance fee removed! Go on say i'm not a true fan, maybe your right but sit down and watch the olympics/paralympics and watch people who compete who give damn about their sport! Our players care about one thing and one thing only money.
