Why do they have to roll Tim Fisher out?
Was thinking the same. Let Herman handle the PR, Fisher has already alienated too many fans. Trouble is, its the same line he's been peddling for years about having something outside the councils influence....you know, the same bluff and bollocks that has contributed to pissing everyone off and putting a barrier between any hopes of a settlement that would see is at the Ricoh on half decent terms.Why do they have to roll Tim Fisher out?
Cheapest option rent the Ricoh. This means trying to put a deal together with Wasps. Now they are putting obstacles in the way of negotiations.Fisher must be barking mad if he seriously thinks BPA is a viable option. It has little potential, certainly not a Championship level stadium, and in truth is no better than non-league because of access. If we moved there, that's likely where we would end up.
Surely an out of town site working with another council is a very good option, prefer the butts myself but what council would not want 350,000 people coming into their borough every ten months spending their money.
Oh I forgot we do have one council who doesn't want this.

Coventry City chairman Tim Fisher has told supporters the club has identified a site outside Coventry for a possible new stadium and Academy base.
Mr Fisher stressed the option was only a back-up and that club officials preferred a potential ground share with Coventry Rugby Club at Butts Park Arena when he made the revelation during a Supporters’ Consultative Group meeting last week.
He also said the club still retained hope that a long term deal could be agreed at the Ricoh Arena.
So it Mr Fisher now I think I understand.
What we want is the preferred option to ground share at the Butts whilst at the same time having a long term deal at the Ricoh.
Have I now got this right?
as the song goes.....
its all just a little bit of history repeating itself
But then that also produces the wish of the 'Rugby City' scenario. Coventry will have a foreign rugby team in prominence and the football club will be out of the city.
I absolutely hate and detest the idea of London Wasps at the Ricoh IN Coventry and Coventry City, a club FROM Coventry being OUT of the city.
Is that the preferred water pistol or is it only the 2nd choice?CCFC Seem to be trying to fight the massive PR Fire fight with this:

Yet the Ricoh isn't possible. We cannot get more Revenue than we already are, CA has said while Wasps are accommodating they cannot give us anymore than they already do.There is only one option and that's the stay at the Ricoh.
BPA isn't and won't happen due to many flaws. Never say never I.e Northampton. But we can all agree very unlikely.
House the academy and stadium together is great but outside of Coventry is not what fisher wants. He has just said that. Sisu will never build a stadium. Ever. They had the chance 3 years ago and all we got was a nice 3D graphic.
So what is he saying? He is saying IMO we need help. We need help to stay at the Ricoh. He wants to stay there you can tell. And why wouldn't he? A previous poster said it. It's built and can accommodate big gates and don't laugh a promotion.
