CCFC will never own any stadium... Fisher said so.Would it be CCFC that owned part of the stadium or Otium or Sisu thats a question that would need answering first
CCFC will never own any stadium... Fisher said so.
So renting from Coventry RFC is better than renting from Wasps ?
Really ?
15k stadium is not, and will never, be big enough for CCFC. CRFC will not allow the increase to 25k. or even anywhere near it!
Wasps fan for 2 years.
Coventry City fan for 49 years.
Spoken like a businessman?
Guess we have finally accepted that we are happy to remain as div3 and div4 team.
In my eyes this deal is a total lack of vision and ambition.
If it rocks your boat then fine.
From one rugby club ground share to another, from a world class venue to a conference stadium!! that's 9 years of progress right there!

You think progress will happen whilst SISU remain here? How do people even think such things when evidence is applicable to the contrary?I think renting a soulless bowl for match days only, that's too big for us, to owning any % of a 15k seater stadium in a few years time would be progress actually.
I don't think anyone's accepting anything other than we've been reduced to our knees as a club. Rebuilding from the state we've been left in will take years unless someone with more money than sense is taking over. In fact I think it's you with no vision. You sound like the type of fan who thinks we should still be making million pound signings and that Wasps are just waiting for a different CCFC owner to sell us half the Ricoh.Guess we have finally accepted that we are happy to remain as div3 and div4 team.
In my eyes this deal is a total lack of vision and ambition.

And forever renting from Wasps with no chance of increased revenue? Ditto.
Thinking about it you're right. We should stay in a 2/3 empty stadium with no income from it for us just on the off chance that we draw Crewe in the JPT area final again.
:facepalm:
Don't need to give you any guesses as to why the crowd has dwindled.
Like I said if it rocks your boat.
hopefully a stepping stone for SISU to get out of Football
15000 is plenty for now. People moan that they can't/won't go up as the team isn't performing. Bollocks to them all. If they really all wanted to support the club then they've had a virtual clear run over the last 11 years in a ground thats been 'nearly' filled a total of 3 whole times. If they'd really supported the team when it mattered we wouldn't be where we are now.
Why should the club go out on a limb for people to go to one game every 3 or 4 years?
Financially, a larger capacity would make little difference if we ever did get to the premier league as the gate money is peanuts compared to the tv money.
Get a share in the Butts and move the club forward.
How long you been waiting for that ... 9 years?If this happens and it stabilises my football club and gives it a brighter future then it indeed rocks my boat.
Well you did just make it up, I bet you couldn't name one person who ticks all those boxes. CRFC would have no obligation whatsoever to get into bed with current or future owners unless on their own terms or for their own benefit.The funniest thing about this is all the posters who didn't give a shit about CRFC when it was suggested that they could go up the BPA instead of Sixfields, then did give a shit about CRFC when Wasps rolled up now all of a sudden don't give a shit about CRFC again because they're wishing SISU of all people on them. You couldn't make it up.
That's before you even get into the problems that will probably stop it happening in the first place not least of all some people think SISU will find a way to fund it. Pull your heads out of the sand people.
Based on what facts?

Who are all those people then Tony? all those that didn't give a shit about CRFC?
What are all the problems that will stop it happening, as I am sure Jon Sharp is more knowledgeable and tuned in to the cost and planning issues than you will be. You mention SISU, but all I read is that this is a CRFC plan and they are in control.
Based on the fact that CRFC owner said so!
I can't see the attraction for CRFC in increasing capacity and over developing their stadium for CCFC. Secondly the prospects of a business partnership with SISU is hardly attractive. SISU seem to litigate as a matter of normal business practice. I would fear for CRFC.Yep. After what has happened to us with Wasps and the Ricoh etc. I really do think we need to be careful here in what we wish for and are wanting.
Are we happy for Cov to play in a 2/3rds empty soulless stadium simply because it suits our needs?
Would love to see the Butts developed, but for Cov. Would love to see them in a lovely new 10,000 seater stadiums with improved facilities.
Think the aim should be to develop the Butts for Cov and for us to ground share there if no deal can be found at the Ricoh, until we can build our own stadium somewhere for us.
I hate to be pedantic but as you often do, I will ask for a link to this 'fact' so that I can actually see what was said.
And forever renting from Wasps with no chance of increased revenue? Ditto.
Yep, and I'll be waiting a lot longer if we have to continue to rent from those lovely guys from London.
-- and some STILL blame the fans. Thick as pig shit.
Think you're getting me confused with Grenduffy.... It's usually me supplying "Links"
http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/recap-reaction-coventry-city-coventry-11349600 Listen fro about 25 seconds.
So whose is the plan you are working to here ?Ask Fisher for the plan tomorrow then rather than let him wind you up and set you running.
-- and some STILL blame the fans. Thick as pig shit.
Youre talking about that 12k pie money arent you?- what other revenue is available above that at the Ricoh? What's the cost to Sisu of moving to BPA (stadium capacity upgrade, seating, changing rooms, media upgrades, ground staff, security, access, parking, planning, project mgt). How long to break even for short-termist Sisu? 10 years?
It aint gonna happen.
