i care about CCFC and not wasps, but i dont agree they will "always" be a franchise team. I started watching Blaze recently and only just found out they were not based in Cov orignially. As time goes on, this is what will happen to Wasps fans. Coventry kids in 5 years could well be living in a city with a rugby club competing at the top of the tree and a football club in or around non league.
I will still support CCFC, but you cant blame the kids if they migrate over.
Didn't Rugby council originally responded to say they had spoken with the club?
Is releasing locations of old sites we didn't get an attempt to prove something is happening or an attempt at misdirection? If we're all talking about sites that by Fishers own admission aren't going to be the new location for the FisherBowl then we aren't talking about why nothing is happening with the allegedly imminent announcement of where it actually is, assuming it exists anywhere other than Fishers imagination.
Fair comment this. I wouldn't deny that I've been to more games at the rugby than the footy recently, but personally I'd never go to Wasps and I'd much rather people didn't. Regardless the footy club is in an awful state now, and I'm not surprised that you and others will look elsewhere.
However, I still think that there's a much larger supporter-base for the football in the city then there is for rugby, for either of the teams here now. If CCFC can somehow get to even a sniff of success, then we'll see that I'm sure.

23 acres at £350k per acre.
£8m before they even start...
Is my memory hazy or was it not supposed to be a 60 acre site?
Wasn't the plan a 60 acre site including the stadium, training complex (incuding academy) and whatever else was going on there such as retail. I guess the training complex might be ditched or seperate if big enough sites aren't available.
If we could have got hold of 50% of the Ricoh and built a decent relationship with Wasps maybe we could have looked into a joint training complex, sure there would be a decent amount of facilities that could be shared.
who is hanging on?
We need to get the football league to change criteria in particular the radius .KEEP COVENTRY CITY FC inside the CITY OF COVENTRY. Maybe something the sky blue trust can look into ?
Some posters
yeah bet he went in there wax jacket and all looking proper smartIf discussions have taken place which weren’t “formal”, Mr. Fisher must have gone down to the Planning department clutching a couple of maps with crayon on them, like a schoolboy doing a geography project.
Jesus, Fisher doesn't help himself, does he? He comes across as a right pompous fool. I'll believe it when I see it, but I have to admit I hope I do see it one day.
The silence from some quarters on this thread is that loud we need earplugs.
Or have we now reached a stage where even the most pro SISU of posters think that a manned spaceship will land on Pluto before SISU build a stadium ''In the Coventry area''.
Can you point out the people who have actually believed it from day one? Maybe the people you call "pro SISU" probably made up their mind instantly it was bollocks and didn't rely on the telegraph or the trust before they could think about it?

It was quite easy to see SISU`s game plan a long time ago. Some bought into it, literally in some cases.
Previously you (Nick) have always wanted facts to prove any points of view, thanks to FOI there are some provided on the new stadium subject. Now you want facts to prove who the facts might be relevant to. You should go into politics.
I prefer the other hairy biker !
Nick are you happy that Fisher sat in a room of Cov fans and blatantly lied about their efforts regarding a new stadium ?
The silence on this thread is deafening from those who like Sisu blame the council, acl and Wasps for all ccfc's woes !
If Fisher is happy to lie to fans on this issue, which has always been their answer for not purchasing a share in the Ricoh at every turn. Then what are Sisu's motives ?
All i can see is endless futile litigation whilst are club is being neglected !
yes and you will find i have been saying for months i think this stadium is bollocks, i thought that from day one. Will they build one in the future? Maybe, right now though it's bollocks.
So who has believed in it from day one?
