Actually, with the liquidation and "more interested in results on the pitch" comments-not to mention her cold, formal use of "Fisher", I think I've warmed to her quite a bit after reading that!
are there any successful "phoenix" clubs?
Fuck off.
2. Ansty. The club also enquired with Rugby Council about this 100+ acre site which is 4 miles from Earl Street. Despite the potential suitability of the site itself, it was not possible to get a highways solution due to access issues with an adjoining site.
3. Ryton – 23 acres (net) – again a meeting with Rugby Council. Despite some highway issues there was a relatively straightforward solution with a spur off the A46. The subsequent sale process saw Prologis successfully close the land deal with a bid of £650,000 per acre.
Fishers comments of "there has been a big forward leap on the ground site acquisition" was as said on the day of Wasps first home game.
it was obviously a false statement put out to try and take some gloss off the occasion . It was juvenile and petty and complete bullshit
15mill for land, yet it wouldn't have been good to outbid wasps. nuts
because one thing the last few years have shown is the inability of ccfc fans to find or unite behind any sort of effective strategy to address all the issues surrounding the club. our pioneering days were primarily driven by one man - jimmy hill. don't see another jimmy out there.We could always be the first, we used to have the reputation as a pioneering club, why not?
It’s at least a good thing that these details are now coming out. What’s utterly baffling is that this information could surely have been released as soon as each site turned into a failure, saving an awful lot of ridicule and reputational damage. Have the new PR guys had a word in Mr. Fisher’s ear?
For what it’s worth, none of the 3 sites seem close to being realistic. But since Rugby Borough Council were involved in all 3 cases, no doubt they’ll confirm that a lot of hard work was put in (despite the unwanted distraction of the JR).
There will be no club soon so why build stadium

never happen. ccc will never sell to a sisu property company and sisu are never going to buy it as a football club.And the ideal outcome? That's still buying into the Ricoh, because (as I think even Joy said) building a second stadium is ridiculous.

And with no sustainable future possible how can any of us embrace the club? Sisu are toxic, they have ruined a club and until they go that cannot change.
It will never have a future with "fans" like you who never attend games and call all those who do worms.

I notice that Cllr Maton was mentioned – isn’t he on the City Council? It would indeed be a pleasant surprise if a site could be found “in town”. For me, the nightmare would be a contentious site which will never get permission (thus condemning us to more politics for years to come), or somewhere closer to another town than Coventry (which would count many fans out I think).
Looking at Twitter Maton's role at the meeting seemed to be to inform the SCG that the Hollbrooks site he had suggested to Simon Gilbert recently was actually a non starter as there was no chance of getting planning permission so a lot of help that was :facepalm:
Any alternative suggestions?
It'd be nice if CCC actually tried calling CCFC's bluff and helped move this on to endgame.
I think from a financial point of view that would be the best solution, either for CCFC to buy into ACL or to have both clubs under the same ownership, seems unlikely though. Even if SISU left now I don't think a new owner would be able to turn us around. We may see a slight bounce initially in attendances but without revenue streams we will continue to struggle at around our current level. The damage done has become almost irreparableI meant CCFC buying rights to revenues from Wasps or (better) somebody else bringing the two clubs and the stadium together.

What a fiasco. TF threw the keys on the table, took the club to Northampton, points were deducted because the two sides couldn't come to an arrangement, it was announced that we are building our own stadium etc. ( site details in 3 weeks ) and now it's been confirmed that we never had a chance of a site ( we didn't get past the first stage of getting one ) and because Coventry is surrounded by a green belt we probably never will. Is this how hard nosed business people work? Most people on here wouldn't storm out of their home and sue the landlord before they had arranged alternative accommodation for their family or had at least checked out the housing market in the area. It is quite frankly appalling and if TF didn't look a prat before, he certainly does now.

Oooo. Don't look over there (SISU's direction) look over there (lets blame the fans).
