Perhaps we were ahead of the game. HR had great memories but it wasn't a great ground, sorry.
We want a plan that gives us what we want as CCFC fans, not a plan that gets us away from the Ricoh at all costs.
You follow aimlessly if you want but I'll wait for a plan.
It's all deflection by Sisu and the usual skittles are yet again lining up and enthusiastically slobbering waiting for Sisu to throw them a ball.
Currently the plans to 25k would hold good in the Championship. If we made it back the top flight that's where the issue will come?
What then? Do we then build another stadium or are Sisu hoping Wasps will be bankrupt by then and go and buy the Ricoh.
What are the rugby club doing announcing it though? What would be in it for them?My initial thoughts on this, is to get more leverage when negotiating with Wasps.
If true, I think it could work, but only if the capacity is around 25,000.
The worst thing about HR was atmosphere from the West End, fans making loads of noise but it just didn't get projected....a crying shame because our fans are great (glory hunters and all) you really see it on the road.Agree. I love the Ricoh so much more than I ever did HR.
HR was a below average stadium.
Whereas you, as usual, have the council's ass cheeks spread wide and your tongue poised

I have suggested a reason for this; appeasing their own fans over recent decisions and showing ambition or nothing more than possibilitiesWhat are the rugby club doing announcing it though? What would be in it for them?

Bournemouth have had massive success on 11K. So what if we start at 15K. In the last decade how many times have we needed the full capacity of the Ricoh? We have to start somewhere. I think a smaller capacity will drive the demand for tickets if we do well and that can only be a good thing. It might be an issue in a decade or three, but it's not an issue now, I don't think.
Just for all of you to "Mull over" I have also stated if SISU build a Stadium within the "City Boundaries" It would show "Intent". Therefore I would more than likely attend Home games again..... That's "IF"

Italia SBK and Senior Thick aren't too chuffed to be fair. Tony says he's unsure that moving into a stadium owned by a rugby club may be right for "his" team, OSB has concerns on parking (rather odd given there is nowhere to park at the Ricoh) and dongle is avoiding all questions on the councils apparent attempt to strangle at birth this concept.
Everyone else seems on board.
emphasis was on wages. directors were pumping in loans to pay the wage bill in the 1st promotion season.Please tell me in which of these seasons they spent massively?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008–09_Burnley_F.C._season#Transfers - paid fees for 4 players and still had a very average squad.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013–14_Burnley_F.C._season#Transfers - spent a fee on a grand total of one player.
Nobody gives a fuck mate.Before I get anywhere near to excited about this I want to see some actual plans and figures. I also hope if the plans are good someone gets the council in a headlock to force it through. I want a Craven Street run before the game and no more mincing about in Foleshill.

My first thoughts is that this may be the next court case seed being planted. The location is so impractical for thousands of rowdy football fans that CCC is compelled to stop it. SISU knows this and when they do they sue again.
Have I got this right, we're going from renting a big ground from a big rugby club to renting a small ground from a small rugby club ?

Exactly right. Good post Hill
Coventry had disappointing season (promotion aim and ended up mid table having finished 3rd year before) and brought in a New director of rugby in true SISU style with a lack of sensitivity. Rowland Winter seems on the button and answered questions without being asked them last night. As he says the club is punching well below it's weight. I just feel the club had to justify their decisions a sell a future plan. Coventry built a good squad over the last few years and although it fell a party there was about four players expected to be retained by the fans who weren't; like a 23/24 year old who played almost every game won the fans and players player of the year....many thought he was Cov through and through and there to build upon?(Genuinely) would you like to give a bit more detail and a spot of context?
Exactly right. Good post Hill
With a share of the pie money. Don't forget the pie money!

Would people agree it would have to be expandable to 25,000 to be anything like a goer?
15,000 in the Championship would leave us one of the poorer boys in terms of comparable success.
25,000 would be fine for the Championship, but wouldn't be good enough for us to make any real indentation in the Premier I wouldn't have thought.
CRC have said in so many words that 25,000 is too big for them, so CCFC would have to make a very long term commitment.
Where would we like to see the club in 10-15 years? Challenging perhaps for a Europa League place like Southampton?
I just wish the Butts had more scope for expansion. Doesn't have to be immediate, but for the future and seasons to co e should this club of ours enjoys period of success.

New Council Leader has said he wants all legal action dropped before any talks with the club...
I thought you liked mincing about in Foleshill?
