That's an incredibly weak argument. Nothing they say now has any bearing on their actions in selling the stadium to Wasps in 2014. It isn't a claim about unfairness towards CCFC specifically.
Sounds to me that they’ve been given a line by legal while the EU case is ongoing TBH.

Would be a massive personal blow for him too, he’s also up for Lotd Mayor.Yeah, that's probably the best option. Forget trying to gain multiple seats on the council and focus solely on that one seat and cause a bit of a fuss. Would need a good candidate with a lot of backing. Ultimately you're reliant on the electorate in one ward, but with a good campaign, even if the candidate didn't have a realistic chance of winning outright, they would potentially split the vote and maybe create enough fear for Duggins to change his stance. Just need that one person to step up I guess.

The bit I think that needs highlighting is that the council proactivily HELPED the hotel find land.So no one else has to bother listening the answer is (twice): “that’s a matter for the football club, not the city council”

Good to see one of the council accounts straight on it
There isn't a football stadium in Coventry now.Are the hotel owners taking the council to court? Is there a severe lack of football stadia that multiple key industries have been asking to be resolved?
Or is this apples and oranges?
Agree with your sentiments and line of thinking. The question is when would this line of attack be most appropriately deployed to have maximum impact.Sorry for keep pushing the same agenda nick, but this is exactly what I have been saying, time for the owners to ramp up communications about getting back to Coventry. They need to either write (or publish as they have already written) their letter to ccc asking for their support in identifying a site within their boundaries. If CCC come back with that stock answer, ccfc can then ramp up woodlands site proposal with outline of what’s been submitted and who they are waiting on to move it fwd.
Owners have an opportunity to get fans who aren’t currently going to Birmingham onside with statements like what ccc have said today. Pressure needs to be kept on by the owners, as without it, the stock line will be delivered on an ad hoc basis.
Clearly it’s not a CCC priority to get us back to Coventry any time soon. It should be our owners !!

Yes I agree but unfortunatly a majority of this City are not from here and dont give 2 fucks for our football team, that is why the council can do as they please on this issue.But why is it not? Are they not public servants?

The Club need to up the pressure on the council followed by us fans.

I would definitely vote for a decent independent candidate who championed such a move.Don’t residents have an opportunity to vote them out ?. If an independent candidate had as part of their manifesto, return ccfc to Coventry, would enough people feel strongly enough on this matter to vote for them ?, I suspect not. Are the council at the very least, partly to blame, if course, but it matters a lot less to the current sitting councillors than it does to the owners of our club

I get your point about priorities, but I don’t understand why advocacy of the cities football club is incompatible with providing social care for the vulnerable and adequate waste disposal and recycling.Personally I’m a fan of vulnerable adults getting social care and my bins getting emptied, but go off.
I worded this in a shot way but you should get my drift.Would you all not prefer to be at the Ricoh if sisu owned 50% or what not rather than owning a new ground?
Not really, the place is utterly tainted for me. That said, it'd be better than renting from Wasps and better than playing outside of CoventryI worded this in a shot way but you should get my drift.
Would be a bit of a downer no doubt but over time I think it would be more beneficial than playing outside the Ricoh and owning our own stadium.Not really, the place is utterly tainted for me. That said, it'd be better than renting from Wasps and better than playing outside of Coventry
There isn't a football stadium in Coventry now.
Surely if it's going to benefit the economy what's the issue?
The economic impact of the university and car industries in this city is an order of magnitude ahead of a L1 football team. But you knew that and are playing dumb.
I notice you cut off the bit about suing the council as well. Relationships matter. You don’t get to act the c**t then whine that you’re not getting special treatment.
You wanted this remember. You wanted to get one over on the council. This is a direct result of your chosen course of action, own it.

I would rather own our own ground with a football pitch than a co own a rugby field.Would you all not prefer to be at the Ricoh if sisu owned 50% or what not rather than owning a new ground?
Surrounding area ease of access train and bus routes, half the cost a load of people share there pitch with another club or a rugby club and with the right money and investment the pitches can be as good as they get with only 1 team playing, now I ask you why not would it be a good idea?Why?
Poor access possibly out of Coventry nothing in the surrounding area, twice the cost and probably be no where near 25k stadium we would require especially if we are now on the up.I would rather own our own ground with a football pitch than a co own a rugby field.

Agree with your second point about the use of my pic funds and the need to speculate to accumulate.As I said in the other thread, no they didn't.
Friargate has always had space earmarked for at least one hotel since its inception a decade ago. The land and the potential usage has been there all that time. It's been showcased at various exhibitions numerous times during that period so the fact that this development had space available for a hotel has been widely know for a long time.
If there is an issue it's whether they should be putting funds towards the hotel development, which again has points both for and against.
