Where would your loyalties be? I only ask because I think ACL could offer the Ricoh on the cheap to the wonders of Nuneaton....
This is mental, why would ACL look to run a club themselves?
Where would the money come from?! I thought the moralists on here were against a council spending money on a football club?
If they can offer it to someone else cheaper than us then they truely are c###s
Saddlers fan in peace.
Very unlikely to be Walsall for you guys.
Our chairman/owner and other club officials have been very vocal over a number of years about responsible financial management of clubs.
We do not own our ground it is owned by the club owners pension fund and charges the club more than the £400k a year you are being asked to pay a year in rent which has to be paid out of the club revenue derived from match day activities and commercial activities.
This has been a subject of much agro between fans and the club/owner for some years with many fans seeing it as him taking money out the club.
You can see the position it would put him in and also our pitch isn't in a condition to stand to teams at the moment.
Much more likely to be brum as they have considered such deals before including with us which led to a revolt and our current owner taking over the club.

It didn't work out too badly for Brighton, did it?
I don't get your point...they played in a suburb of Brighton, not in a different town or city altogether which seems like the likely outcome here. Also I wouldn't trust these twats to build a lego house let alone a brand new stadium. It was bad enough with 'Arena Whenever'......I mean 'Arena 2OOO' or whatever it became. I can only imagine the shambles that these clowns being in charge of building a new stadium would preside over if they choose to go down that road.
West ham are to pay 15 million for the Olympic stadium and how much does the council want for the ricoh?
All this speculation is just feeding everyone paranoia! Or so the voices in my head are telling me.
SISU might have a plan for SISU but not for CCFC, their fans or the city. The Council have their own agenda which considering they are elected officials might change if Cov fans get their arses to the ballot box next time round. On Cov's badges there is an elephant - it stands for the white elephant that the Ricoh will become.
Where is the DeLoren time machine so we can go 'Back To The Future' & fix this chaos. Doesn't seem the situation is making anyone happy.
We're all doomed!

Yeh disgusting isn't it? Govt give away 200 mill stadium for 15 million.
Tax payers will be happy.
