30 million for a new stadium?
Why not invest 10 mil to buy The Higgs Trust option and a further 10 mil invested in the team.
Save yourself 10 million!!!
Oh!! Not even a token amount towards outstanding rent.
Probably because they won't sell to sisu
I'd be happy to move to another site. I have no particular affinity to the Ricoh. Highfield Road, of course, but not the Ricoh. I could wait three years. Then, as someone else said, Nuneaton Town could move into the Ricoh and pay ACL £1.2M.
And now that the Council have propped up ACL the need to sell has diminished even further.
Fuck 'em, I say.
I could see circumstances under which Warwick District council might agree to give planning permission. If Sisu offered to build more than a stadium and create lots of Jobs then I'm sure a deal would be on. Plus the council get the benefit of the rates. Obvious place to build it would be just off the A46 near the turn off for leamington spa.....
What is undeniable is this magnificent arena belongs to The City of Coventry.
I accept that ACL needs the football team to play there.
However there is no chance of ACL ever agreeing to let our club have ownership of the stadium, while our club is owned by SISU.
SISU have made no attempt to pay any amount of rent at all.
Had they done during negotiations, they would have deserved far more sympathy than they are currently getting.
If we are evicted as a club from The Ricoh, it will still belong to The City of Coventry.
Warwickshire stretches as far south as a few miles from Banbury. Isn't that the place that reeks of coffee?
And just think,we can paint the elephant on our badge on the Ricoh white.

You are putting words into my mouth, I suggested an alternative tenant be lined up giving the Borough as an example, I mentioned nothing about a rental value, nothing at all.
Please stop being a d**kh**d.
Are you suggesting that by "coffee" ajs actually meant "coffee"?I think you mean "coffee".
Haven't read all 16 pages (so please forgive me if I repeat whats already been said / asked), but where exactly is 'south Warwickshire'?
Also, its going to take years to build another stadium. 3 years i think has been quoted. What do they plan to do? Say to ACL "we're going to leave in 2016, but stay here until then. We don't plan to pay you anything in the meantime but as we're leaving anyway you may aswell not worry about the court action".
Are they really that daft?
As for mutton himself, if this is something hes concocted in attempt to get SISU to pay up, its a bit extreme, and pretty rediculous!

Oh, like beef burgers or lasagne.No, I mean "coffee". Something that probably did once resemble coffee and tests would probably show a low percentage of actual coffee content. I.e. Mellow Birds.
Er I'm a country loon !!!!??? Were r uNot so sure aboutu the access - those local roads through Stoneleigh would be rammed with our 31000 crowds :laugh:
Still it would piss off some of the country loons that live there so go for it :guitar2:
More precisely, dried pigeon innards. And horse semen in milk.There's birdmeat in coffee? I'll admit, I'm lost here.
Olympic stadium anyone?
Hold on. Many people on here keep telling me and others that SISU should not have a rental cut because we play in a Premiership stadium with marvellous facilities not comparable to any other team in L1. That's why we pay the horrendous rent we do. So surely, the same would apply to Nuneaton. The same "Premiership" quality stadium with it's fantastic facilites not comparable to any other ground in Blue Square Twelve or whatever league they are in. So no, I don't think I am putting words into your mouth.
So although you didn't mention a rental value plenty of others have due to our luxurious surroundings.
Build it. I'm banned from the casino anyway lol
