Yeah but if somebody was pushing a new club they could be part of running they aren't going to say the new club would play at Sphinx's ground for a bit are they?
It'd haemorrage money at the level we'd start again at.
If we actually wanted to grow organically we'd be mental to start out again at the Ricoh.
What a piece of scum Fisher really is. If he had any morals at all he would resign. Groundshare my arse, it's either drop the legals and stay in Cov or that's it I'm done now, there really is no other viable option for me. I didn't go to Northampton and I won't go anywhere else
I doubt the EFL will be keen to see us go. A founding Premier League club, an FA Cup winner, a high profile team in the lower leagues, and owners that have no qualms with court action. They open themselves up to years of expensive litigation if they make any slight mistakes in the process. As, I suspect (I could be wrong, it's not unusual for me) do other teams that may vote us out. The ground problem needs a solution obviously, but I doubt there is much appetite to expel us.
We've spent about £300 this season you daft twat. Not as much as others of course but not nothing. Carry on with your apologist agenda, you're doing a fine job for Joy !I thought you were done anyway? I do like people who don't really bother anyway kicking off saying they won't go.
It's like me kicking off saying I won't go in Pret a Manger if they move, I don't go anyway.

What happens if Wasps turn round and say “it’s a million pound a year?”What a piece of scum Fisher really is. If he had any morals at all he would resign.

If Wasps wanted to avoid getting caught in the hideous world of SISU v Council then they probably shouldn't have bought the Ricoh in a secret deal. The ongoing court action wasn't exactly a secret at that time. Why people would take their side against the club is a mystery to me, but then beating SISU is all that matters to some... their attitude is akin to 'we've cured the disease but killed the patient'...
That's absolutely correct. There is an assumption that losing our place in the league would mean SISU throw in the towel. Just as much chance we end up in the national league groundsharing in Nuneaton with Fisher still here.I said it on another thread but I'll say it again
So what if we are voted out and SISU retain ownership of the club in a lower league. They are still the real CCFC and any other start up would be a protest club, like AFC MU, not a phoenix club like Hereford
Depends who the owners are. What if it was a consortium of local businessmen and someone who just happened to own a ground.It'd haemorrage money at the level we'd start again at.

Having nerdily re-read the EFL ground criteria, I think CCFC have to have a ground with 2000 seats & a 5000 overall capacity.
This rules out Nuneaton & Hinckley. Rugby is possible with a bit of adjustment, the Butts. With a temporary stand.

Walsall, Birmingham, or wherever. Even Nuneaton. It'll be another attendance disaster, worse than Northampton and understandably so. It'll be the end of Ccfc.This situation seems to have no end - better to start all over again from the bottom- I think if they start ground sharing it won't be long before we find ourselves in non -legaue as fans will drift away -so we bite as well bite the bullet now
I’ve read that as being the criteria for new members, which we are not. We as a long-standing member need to be at 5k/2k at the start of the season.The Butts is possible in August isn't it? The way I've read that is the club has virtually the whole season in which to meet the qualifying criteria.
Let's hope they have decent ndas for their meetings so sisu don't get hold of the information.Depends who the owners are. What if it was a consortium of local businessmen and someone who just happened to own a ground.
Both hedge funds are playing chicken with CCFC.
Only one is the owner and therefore directly responsible for them however.
I’ll take anywhere while the legals are resolved. I’d much rather this whole charade was behind us and we got on with building a ground though. What is it? 5 years now without so much as a location?
Capacity isn't really an issue as long as there's room for temporary stands. You can build pretty much an entire temporary stadium if you've got the room.Having nerdily re-read the EFL ground criteria, I think CCFC have to have a ground with 2000 seats & a 5000 overall capacity.

If we at outside of Coventry we won't need more than a 2000 capacity.I’ve read that as being the criteria for new members, which we are not. We as a long-standing member need to be at 5k/2k at the start of the season.
To be fair, the wording isn’t 100% clear.
They've said it themselves, a number of times.I don't believe Wasps won't talk. That is absolute nonsense.

AMI Stadium in New Zealand is 100% temporary and was built from nothing in 80 days. Holds 18K upgradable to 26K for bigger games.
I don't know - if the club provided free travel I'm sure we would get a few thereI think that ones a bit too far away mate tbf, even the EFL might not let that one go
Some people are just so horrible to deal with you end up thinking I'm not going to give an inch. It is clear the council felt like that with SISU but they haven't covered themselves with glory by selling to another hedge fund who will ultimately behave in exactly the same way. Hence the impasse now.
But from a CCFC perspective you have to say that all the club had to do was buy a ground that was built specifically for them. Can't really blame anyone else for that not happening.
And because that didn't happen we are effectively homeless. Forget the politics and recriminations what needs to happen now is that the club agrees to drop litigation in return for a long lease at a reasonable rent. And if they aren't doing that then there is no hope.

The problem for SISU is that, whether we like it or not, Wasps hold all the cards. It is their ground now. We may not like that either, but SISU had their chance to buy it and chose not to. I have always thought that, ever since, they have been repenting at leisure.There's always 2 sides to the story. I don't agree with the constant legals but I also don't agree with Wasps playing chicken with our club. All I care about is existing next year. I'd prefer Sisu weren't constantly litigating and I'd prefer we were at the Ricoh but if it doesn't happen I'll still support the club. What Wasps are doing isn't far from blackmail.
That isn't true, go on social media and there are plenty of people advocating the club being kicked out of the league/liquidated in order to get rid of sisu.
The problem is that SISU have dismembered the club but want their money back. It's as logical as me setting fire to my house, selling to a local builder for 50,000 pounds, he then does it up and sells it for 300,000 and I demand the difference. They are totally mad.The problem for SISU is that, whether we like it or not, Wasps hold all the cards. It is their ground now.

I am no love of Wasps, or even rugby, but I don't agree they are blackmailing SISU. Why don't they just drop the legal action and we can all get on with it? Wasps, like everyone else, are probably sick to the back teeth of Seppala and her cronies playing sillybuggers with the football club. Why can't SISU - just for once - do something to help the club?
Something else occurs to me as well. Suppose Wasps did back down and sign a contract. Suppose then, that however unlikely, SISU won their case. I suspect Wasps would kick them out anyway, just for the hell of it.
