I haven't once claimed i'm some higher power who knows all the goings on with CCFC. just thought i would share some positive news I've heard from someone who works withing Ricoh. i haven't made or claim anything like the ground issues or buying and selling of players or anything like this before. im not attention seeking or making shit up, just for the record.

Im not going to believe it until I see a man up a very long ladder polishing the club crest at the Ricoh. Really hope it’s true....

Yeah... let’s not shoot the messenger. Let’s just accept that it’s unconfirmed info being passed on and there may or may not be anything in it...

I heard the same around 2/3 weeks ago.

However, the sceptic in me refuses to believe it until I'm sat in my usual seat.

Is it ? One of big issues from us leaving the EU is returning to UK law and courts who have threw out the sisu claim right up to the highest court in the land. Even IF the EU come out in favour of the sisu claim and ccc tell them to do one what could they do about it. In my opinion that claim is a dead duck.

You might be right, but there are numerous presidents under international law, which our government has signed up to adhere to under the Brexit agreement.

Know you're joking but even if you were 100% certain a new ground at Warwick Uni was going to happen you'd be looking at it being 5 years before a game could be played there, and thats being optimistic.

Get back to the Ricoh, as lets face it theres no viable alternative, on a 5 or 10 year rolling deal so we're not locked in forever and then Fisher and Sepalla can bang on about building a new stadium as much as they want and we can happily ignore them.

Maybe they’ve agreed to indemnify under a shell company say Arvo. Sell the club to another shell company... then bust Arvo

It was crazy when they mentioned this the 4th different ground Brentford have played us in their last 4 away games against us. In last 8 years.

I believe we will all owe @Sky Blue Pete and @mark82 a big thank you too for getting Joy and Derek talking last year, before the pandemic started, when there previously was no direct dialogue between them.

That’s quite impressive given we’ve only played at 3 “home” grounds in that period.

If we stay up.

You would expect the first game back at the Ricoh would be a sell out in August.

I would really hope so, as the team deserve that level of support for their work over ....what would be past 4 seasons by that point.
It would be great to see if we can sell over 12k season tickets.

These rumours surface and do the rounds every year around season ticket release. Is it a coincidence or am I a cynic?

Considering one of the grounds mentioned was HR, I don't think it's in the last eight years.

Maybe in the last 8 seasons that they've been in the same division as us?

I think they were talking the last 4 home games v Brentford being at 4 different grounds which would include Highfield Road albeit many years ago I reckon as far back as 1962ish.

A deal was agreed before he start of last season - “someone” pulled the plug at the very last minute

Just thinking ahead to the summer and IF we return to the RICOH in early summer.

How about an exhibition match against decent opposition or ex city XI. Invite the League 1 winning squad, parade the trophy etc etc. Sell as many tickets as we're allowed. Add in some incentives on season tickets etc. Could be a good occasion and a money spinner.

When was the last time we were able to even hold a pre-season friendly there?

Not quite true, the commercial terms were agreed last year. Was quite widely reported what the issue was last year. Hopefully they've moved past that now.

That’s actually a really good shout and worth considering and why if things were agreed that there’s a good reason for announcing things. Tricky when you don’t know what division and are unlikely to know this before May

Like previous years don't think they'll put season tickets on sale until after ground is confirmed, so in this instance (and particularly this year when they aren't trying to get fans to attend) I'd say cynic.

The rent deal will no doubt depend on which league we are in.

If still in championship. Lets see how many of the stay away from St Andrews actually bother to turn up.

They will find a different excuse.

Come on, let's not get straight on that one while it's still a rumour ffs.

Not mutually exclusive, and suspect that when a deal is announced it will provide provisions for this. Whatever happens longer term, being back at the Ricoh should at the very least be a short term goal/necessity.
