Like it, let's call us Real CCFC. Any other names?
But the Darlington arena was as bonkers for Darlo as Feethams was perfect. Darlington are 20% the club Coventry are.
Only ever supported 'Bantams' & Sky Blues, WOULD DEFINITELY NOT SUPPORT ANY NEW TEAM.

Got to be Cov Utd
i agree we should support Coventry united but we defo need to discuss name change and colour change sky blue defo they already have a good basis pre season good they are already in a league low yes but a bit off investment get arena involved GET FANS INVOLVED get mr sillet or someone with a bit of cov history behind them . ccfc effectively dead as soon as a ball is kicked in Northampton sisu don't care about the fans so we must fight back rip ccfc
Coventry United is bullshit, cynically put together to prey on the vulnerable and angry fans. 'What do they hate? Oh, we hate it too! Come watch us, we won't do [insert bad things SISU do after quick check]'
At first the rent was way too high and I don't think there is a single poster on here who disputes that. An attempt was made to get this down by the previous mob who ran the club but ACL supposedly weren't in a position financially to offer this and it was declined by ACL. Since then the club has changed hands and SISU who had a chance to buy half of ACL (and until liquidation still did) just didn't and never ever bothered to negotiate with ACL beforehand just stopped paying rent in their boycott style of negotiating. It is believed by some that this was to distress ACL enough that they would fail and SISU could then pick them up on the cheap. Then when the bank became nervous about the lack of rent from SISU going into ACL (who had a mortgage with them) the council bought the mortgage off the bank. They charge a lower rate of interest and this allowed better offers including some of the matchday revenue to be made available to the club. SISU rejected all of these offers and threatened liquidation. We went into Admin and SISU said we're taking the club to Sixfields despite a clear lack of interest in watching football there from us Sky Blues supporters. ACL mad another offer of £150k plus I think F&B revenues and cross invoicing and this was turned down. They've sold supposedly 300 season tickets, we're starting with a 10 point deduction and the future looks bleak.Hello folks, I've been having a read of all the various posts on here and I have a question. Many of you are talking of returning to the Ricoh either as CCFC or as phoenix club, but it seems from the outside that the Ricoh is the source of your problems. From what I can see (and I am no expert in this) it is not cost effective for the club with its current attendances to play in the ground because it doesn't make enough from it. So why would you want to return?
I see startling similarities between Coventry and Darlington. And the first thing the Darlington phoenix club did was get the hell out of the Darlington Arena. Locally to me we've seen Leigh Genesis bankrupted by their 20,000 seater stadium costing them £6,000 a game for stewarding with an average gate of 300.
Have I missed something along the way? Is it cost effective for the club to return to the Ricoh? If the club became a phoenix and started in the non-league would it not be better to ground share with the rugby club or someone like Bedworth until you could afford to return to the Ricoh or get a new ground (a la FC United & AFC Wimbledon)? I've probably got half a story so feel free to shoot me down!
