Could do a Darlington start from right at the bottom and build up again.
Did we have this discussion yesterday? Unless ccfc ceases to exist or moves permanently and rebrands ala MK dons, then for me it's a non starter.
But if sisu have really decided never to play again at the Ricoh then it would be one thing if they had obtained planning permission, or even just submitted a planning application, for a new stadium - but to move out of Cov just on a promise it's temporary is quite another.
I disagree. I think that we would still get around 5,000 fans if were at the Ricoh even for a non-league Coventry Phoenix. That should be more than enough to pay the players, stewards etc. It just needs Ph4 to follow through and buy ACL.
If they only opened 1 stand then costs would be low.
Who's going to pay for the upkeep of the rest?
Darlington tried opening only bits of their ground but it was just too big for them, killed the club.
What upkeep is needed on a plastic seat that no one sits in and a concrete stairwell that no one walks on?
Ask Darlington!</p>

<p>It's also the reason Highfield Road was falling down near the end, nobody spent any money on keeping it maintained.</p>

<p>Whether it's empty of not, it'll still decay if nobody looks after it.

Acl will look after it, its their responsibility.
Are you saying anyone who doesn't fill their ground runs the risk of it falling down?
I personally am not sure about the concept but would help anyone who wishes to try, what I do not like is those who do nothing and are negative, then have no ideas of there own to put forward.
Am sure all the local none league clubs will welcome us with open arms, but its the Rugby for me.
So what's your idea?
Read all posts before you comment it is based on worst case:facepalm:Including the people who have no ideas to save a football club and its 125 year history? That seems very negative to me.
Besides Grendle will never happen because your friends will never let it happen because remember what Timmy said the club is the most important thingRead all posts before you comment it is based on worst case:facepalm:
So you think that you'd get as many go as we have season ticket holders now and that will sustain enough revenue to fund the match day costs at the Ricoh? You think an American investor will buy a club 9 leagues down.
3 season ticket holders on this thread have said no to the idea which may say something.
Do you ever remember a 70s American programme where a little guy used to shout "the plane, the plane" - you most still be living there.
So you'd hope ACL would charge a substantially lower rent then £400k a year if only one stand was opened, especially as a new non league club would struggle to find that kind of money.
Making ACL struggle for money also, if the rent is slashed to next to nothing.
Someone has to subsidise the Ricoh if there isn't a tenant in there that can make it work, and for a lower level non league club the ground would be too big for it by far. Why start a new club and handicap it with needless costs from the start? Other clubs who've re-started don't do that, so why should we?
