Perhaps the Arena will have the grass cut & pitch marked out for nothing by the ex groundsman.:thinking about:

I don't care whether you agree with the Council or Ccfc on other matter. This is a fricking disgrace.

What is the problem, a one off game, cannot understand all the fuss. Sisu have had many chances to bring CCFC home

I agree. I've lost some respect for ACL on this one.

Can't see a problem with it. It's sitting there empty. It's not like a deal is imminent, is it? And both sides keep banging on about moving on. Seems like ACL are.

Its just very symbolic. If CCFC were still at the Ricoh then I wouldn't care less.

Not sure why this is viewed as a disgrace.
I agree totally Coventry City not playing there is a total disgrace.
However with SISU moving Coventry City for some reasons that are way beyond my understanding , the stadium is free and being used to help someone out.
Leicester would be towards the "very bottom of my helping out list" but my dislike of the Leicester fans is NOT a good reason why they that club should not be helped. out.

Makes perfect sense as CCFC do not want to use it, then it should be used by someone.
Maybe Northampton Town would like to use it when their pitch is unplayable.

Try looking at the offal. Our home ground is Sixfields. Are you saying that the ground shouldn't be used at all until SISU stop messing about with our club and fans.
Hopefully it will make SISU stop and think about what they are doing and notice that more can happen than they have plans for........and that is only plan B.
And you say that ACL are as bad as Cardoza
ointlaugh: So an under 21 game when no pitches are playable is the same as moving the main club of a city to share a ground 34 miles away that isn't big enough if the average gate turned up is the same? This shows you are normally on the windup if you keep on making out you are serious.

Some irony in that Northampton's game has been postponed - and Saturday's game v Walsall is in doubt, yet the Ricoh is fit to host games!
If this crap weather keeps getting games postponed at Sixfields and a fixture backlog ensues, it will be interesting to see if Northampton consider the Ricoh option for one-offs - if the FL allow! The press will have a field day with that. Also - keep cancelling games until a) we sign someone and b) Calum is fit again!

I assume your joking. After all their posturing this is the best ACL can do? They've even alienated some fans. Fisher and waggot will be pissing themselves laughing.
I assume when letsallsingtogether kept saying watch this space this is what he meant. Oh dear.

It's the thin end of a wedge.
The Ricoh is up for rent including the bowl is the message here.
Watch this space for further developments next week !!

As many as SISU did by going to Northampton? I doubt it.

Why? The council and ACL have never given a fuck about CCFC or it its fans. Gidney never wanted the club there. We'd have been kicked out years ago if villa Leicester or anyone else wanted the stadium and offered one penny more.
Seriously wake up.

I think Stephen Fry gave a good response to this sort of outrage..... 'It's now very common to hear people say, "I'm rather offended by that", as if that gives them certain rights. It's no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. "I'm offended by that." Well, so fucking what?'

What next? Villa supporters club third 11 are going to play there as their pub pitch is waterlogged? Lol this is hilarious.

How would they have kicked us out?

Maybe you should organise a game, who do you think would make a good team from people on here?

You miss the point. It's a form of advertising. "The bowl is available for rental. anybody welcome"
Just hope a big concern don't step in and condemn the club to the small time forever.
Rusty Trombone

Yes, seriously wake up. Coventry City have moved on and are building their own new stadium. There is a sports stadium in Coventry for rent because the previous occupiers no longer want or need it. What are ACL meant to do then?Id rent it out to anyone who will pay me

I have been saying for ages that ACL would start to look for other tenants/users for the pitch if given long enough without us. Just why did it have to be Leicester as the first non Coventry team!

There have been other games there.

If I had signed a 5 year rental agreement for a house I wanted to live in and after a few months of settling in, me and the wife had a night out and at the end of it I said "come on it's time to go home", would that be a ridiculous assertion? The fact is Sixfields is our home for the foreseeable future. 'Temporary ground share' is buzz words that the FL love to hear but not us fans.
