Er...... Yes.
Er...... No.
So who wants to pay for it then ?No need to be obtuse. The point is the construction cost is not the same as the amount CCFC would need to finance.
Er.... maybe.
What's next?
Maybe not?
Neither aren't II ain't not sure that's not going to not work.
So who do you think is going to contribute to the construction costs, considering what else can be squeezed in around the Butts?
Funding for the project would be provided by forming a joint property company with the football club and ongoing revenue would be secured by the two organisations forming an events company to handle the day to day running of the stadium.
"We have had discussions with the football club and we have had discussions with architects who have drawn up some outline plans."
A student accommodation development would be used to provide a big chunk of the required finance, but there could also be the possibility for a retail outlet.
Mr Sharp also said contributions would be provided by the rugby club, the football club and any other partners which could come on board along the way.
Asked how a deal a partnership at The Butts, under the potential banner ‘Coventry Sporting Club, would work in the interests of CCFC, Mr Sharp said: “There would be things such as naming rights for the stadium.
“The property company would be a joint venture with the football club and would be owned by the rugby club and football club.
“The joint events company would deal with matchday revenue and non-matchday stuff. It would be responsible for franchises, food and beverages and a share of that income would go to the football club’s finances.”
No idea, hence why I think it should be looked into further not written off as impossible on day one. If it works out at a net benefit to the club over x number of years against staying at the Ricoh why would our owners prefer to stay?What do you think is a realistic figure that CCFC will need to contribute and the chances that our owners will do that.
Again, nobody has seen them hence throwing the idea out as impossible is ridiculous.Lastly, you mentioned the word 'financials' in an earlier post and you haven't seen them yet. Running and walking springs to mind. We haven't had a definite word that it's even going to happen let alone seen planning permission, plans and all the other things a project like this needs.
So you hold responsible someone who heads up a council, who's decision making on CCFCEr...... Yes.
Instead of CCFC owners who were already sitting tenants in

matters were cross party led. Instead of CCFC owners who were already sitting tenants in
the desired stadium, but instead of trying to engage in meaningful talks and negotiations ,
did everything in there power to isolate themselves and cause bad feeling and mistrust
with every other group involved. Ok
This part is certainly true! :woot:
How many English professional clubs do Swansea have to compete with within an hours travel from them?

You know the other person is struggling in a debate, when this is the best they can muster
So we're we not sitting tenants before Sixfields, did moving to Sixfields not isolate themselvesI thought that at the time of negotiations to sell to Wasps, CCFC were no longer tenants at the Ricoh, and were ground sharing at Sixfields.
We have Leicester, Villa, Birmingham, Northampton, wolves, Walsall, derby, forest, wba, burton, oxford and 4 top flight rugby clubs all within an hours drive of Coventry.How many do we need to compete with within the boundaries of our city and Warwickshire
Fair enoughEr... I wasn't debating anything with you!

There isn't a fence around Warwickshire in which people aren't allowed to support other midlands teams, in fact some clubs are closer than ccfc from parts of Warwickshire.And in our city or in the county of Warwickshire?

True, but I've said before when it got to that point relations were at such a low point even hatefulI hold many people from every involved organisation responsible Bry, but...
No matter what had gone on, no matter how much bad blood, there was a way forward right up to the point that she agreed to sell to Wasps. The point of no return was crossed by her and her cronies.
The population of the area covering those clubs is probably around 7 or 8 millionWe have Leicester, Villa, Birmingham, Northampton, wolves, Walsall, derby, forest, wba, burton, oxford and 4 top flight rugby clubs all within an hours drive of Coventry.

I merely pointed out that when CCC shafted the club by selling the Ricoh, we were no longer tenants. I absolutely agree with you that moving to Sixfields was not just shooting ourselves in the foot, it was like doing that with a 10 second burst from a Uzi. A really crass decision.So we're we not sitting tenants before Sixfields, did moving to Sixfields not isolate themselves
And cause bad feeling and mistrust with every other group involved.
In fact half the area surrounding Swansea is under water.The population of the area covering those clubs is probably around 7 or 8 million
The same area around Swansea is probably around 1 or 1.5 million
So where the hell are they? Why should the club hinder any chance of moving away from our insect overlords due to the fact that these extra 5k 'may' turn up two times a season? I would rather have a steady 25k fan base than hoping that fans may rock up or continue to use excuses not to support the clubWe have a massive catchment area and the potential is there for more than 25k fans
No question

This is why the club, the local media, the trust and the fans should all be putting out the shout of get your arses to the Ricoh. It is all well and good saying "Well if we win a few games or draw Chelsea in the cup they will come".
Yes, but whilst it may be that big (I would guess more 4-5m), we're in the epicenter meaning they are all competition for cov and Warwickshire fans - places like north Warwickshire coleshill, Kingsbury, water Orton are as near to Birmingham as they are Coventry, most people I know from are villa fans, for example.The population of the area covering those clubs is probably around 7 or 8 million
The same area around Swansea is probably around 1 or 1.5 million
Agree with the above all for that. In addition success will naturally do that as well.
So are SISU going to bring us success or not? As it seems we can't move to the Butts because we will need 30k in the Premier League, most of the people who are saying things like that don't strike me as the people who trust SISU to do that.

That season with Chelsea in the cup , IIRC I did 24 games home and away inc Blackburn +replay.This is why the club, the local media, the trust and the fans should all be putting out the shout of get your arses to the Ricoh.

But then couldn't get a ticket for Chelsea.
Incidentally the Blackburn replay was the best atmosphere I have ever experienced at the Ricoh.
There will be no guarantees of your existing loyal fans getting a ticket with a 25k stadium trust me.
