The Ricoh can be used for more then just football though. There not getting any money off SISU anyway, so no loss is it really? If anything, they'll probably saving on electricity etc that way.
There are some arseholes on here tonight !
So the money they make from additional revenues on matchdays is fictional is it??
Best future it can have? What planet are you on mate?
How much of a drop do you think the club will lose in ticket sales?
Apparently now the £200k F&B is supposed to secure the future of the club, that equates to 579 people attending each game. So basically if a move to Walsall puts off just 600 people from attending then it hasn't been worth it. You think that is good business sense?
Also where will a new stadium be built in Coventry? Where will the £30m come from to build it?
This is financial suicide.
Nope, but I doubt its enough to cover the costs of lighting, staffing, cleaning, security, stock etc.
The offer being rejected would have seen us save £900k a year on rent and gain at least £700k in revenue.
The club have been paying £10,000 a match to cover that, and on top of that ACL make from car parking and other F&B revenues.
It's not the will its practically impossible mate. Piss offWhat is the point in playing at a stadium that you will "never" be able to 100% own. There is no future in it. The council must sell 100% ownership to Sisu or it will be a white elephant.
If it means traveling to watch my beloved sky blues for a short period of time i will do it. i would walk over hot coals to support them. Unlike some twats saying this is the death, the end lol. Get a grip.

People seem to conveniently forget that.
Hate the idea of my club leaving Coventry, but they were told to get out, people said lock the doors (many people were saying that tonight), and now that they have taken that advice people are crying about it.
That's the sort of creative accounting SISU would be proud of.

Take it away from Cov and lose 75% of a dwindling support, I hope you fecking idiots will be happy with watching in Walsall with another 2500, so your precious c-uniting hedge fund can get their own way and avoid to pay the debts they are legally obligated to fulfil. !!

Unbelievable - SISU surely won't do this, they might as well blow their own brains out. TF should find the dictionary definition of "counter-productive"
Do you not get it? Sisu are not looking or wanting to take CCFC away from Cov long term, they are doing this to prove to ACL we do not need the Ricoh and are doing this to get a better deal with the Ricoh. They are doing this for the greater good of the football club so we can compete and have a team to be proud of and not have all our revenue streams taken away from us. Think about it.
Well for a start off we will saving 1.4M a year in rent! You have to stop thinking short term and think long term is the penny going to drop? Sisu dont want to move ground, they want "all the Ricoh". If the ACL do not give in to this biting there nose off to spite there face then the Ricoh will go to ruin and it will be ACL's fault.
Its still not enough, the football club will never have a future if it doesn't get 100% of its revenues and pays no rent.
That's part of the crap deal that was in place. We have to accept that. I don't like it either, but that's where it is. SISU should of paid there bills, then sat down with them and spoke to them. We are where we are now because SISU spat they're dummy out.
You have always wanted the lock out. Now this is happening. Why do you think the FA support the club and not the council and why are you bothered? You have what you wanted.

What I heard reported on SSN was that ACL were going to evict us, so club have been talking to another club as an alternative. If it is indeed ACL that have taken this action, will it all of a sudden become ok again?
Now isn't the time for such childish comments.

Rent reduced to £400k.
Paying £400k a year to play at the Ricoh, or £30m to build a new one. It would take 75 years for the club to see the benefit of that.
What owners see fit to move the club out of the city it has played in since it was founded 130 years ago? Even in the short term it is going to lose a lot of supporters from an already diminishing crowd.
We were being offered £400k a year and access to all the revenues for FFP.
If you cannot see the difference you are not open to reason.I don't know why you're bothered by the move, you've been an crying for ACL to lock us out... Well, haven't we done it for them? Or is one side aloud to do, and not the other. Hypocrite! Cough, cough.
