Club statement regarding venue arrangements for final three home league fixtures
Coventry City are hopeful that it will play their remaining three games of the season at the Ricoh Arena. The club moved staff over to its Ryton training ground last week and have cleared stock from its superstore at the Ricoh.
Chief Executive Tim Fisher said he is hopeful that a new short-term agreement with Arena Coventry can be negotiated so that Friday’s game against table-topping Doncaster could take place at the Ricoh.
“The long-term license was terminated by the administrator, but we are hopeful that Coventry City Football Club (Holdings) Ltd can reach agreement with ACL to allow the team to play its final three games of the season at the Ricoh.
“We appreciate that our supporters have been through a great deal of upset and uncertainty, and there is a responsibility on all parties to ensure that the question of where we play our remaining three home games is resolved as soon as possible.
“Allowing supporters to watch the Sky Blues at the Ricoh for three games would be a sensible step forward. We have contacted ACL and hope to have some clarity in the next 24 hours.”

The real problem here is that nobody can negotiate with people like this. No matter what agreement is reached they will deny it the very next day.Looks like the current game is to try & shift blame from the clubs actions to ACL.
It is all a bit transparent, I can't see ACL accepting a short term deal as that might undermine their position in court.
If TF is talking about a short term deal, then why doesn't SISU accept the offer on the table as an interim measure on the understanding negotiations can continue next season?
Fisher's got nowhere to go. What a wanker. All that "upset" to make empty gestures. So glad that he cares so much for the supporters.

It is all a bit transparent, I can't see ACL accepting a short term deal or any deal with CCFC(Holdings) Ltd as that might undermine their position in court.
If TF is talking about a short term deal, then why doesn't the administrator of CCFC Ltd accept the offer on the table as an interim measure on the understanding negotiations can continue next season?
So in summary TF, CCFC will be playing at the Ricoh and paying matchday expenses ....... now where have i seen that before:facepalm::facepalm::thinking about::thinking about:

ACL have said this all along. What is there to agree?
ACL have never said the club could not continue with this being the venue for the final 3 games. Why suggest it is SISU who are fighting for this to happen?
Mug!
Where exactly have ACL said that the club could not use the Ricoh for the final 3 games of the season. If they have then I must have missed it.Yes they have ..........
You can't please any of the people any of the time it seems.
First they say 'I'm not going to Walsall/Brum, if it's not at the Ricoh, I'm not going - get in there SISU and talk to ACL', then when SISU arranges with ACL for the last 3 games to be at the Ricoh it's shedloads of abuse and vitriol again.
Look it is all spin ............. i agree with Jack there is some manoeuvering going on ............. but at the end of the day SISU and TF run CCFC, CCFC ltd and CCFC H and have had scant regard for the fans in all this, dont forget they have already changed the fixture, inconvenienced people, refused refunds etc etc . The average fan doesnt give a toss about the legals and accountancy stuff they just want to see their team play their home games at their home ground ...... TF and co have made that uncertain, hard annd downright inconvenient. They are not doing the fans any favours in any of this and still TF etc seeks to deflect responsibility on to others. Is it any damn wonder they get a load of stick here and elswhere
Please expand on that.Well done.
You know who you are.
One person got this sorted out by making two groups talk to each other.
