Wasps want to install a 3g pitch at the Ricoh but can't while we are there due to football league rules. Gives them a reason to kick us out.
Why bother installing the xtragrass this summer, im sure thats not going to be cheap
Because if the pitch fails it will not just affect the football club, but also the rugby team, as a pitch that cuts up and becomes a quagmire makes attractive football and expansive rugby more difficult.

Too many conspiracies, rumours and strawmen...
Isn't really is it judging by past history? More factual.
From the sounds of it the option to extend remains is controlled by ACL/Wasps.
What concerns me is that if at this point a re-negotiation of the deal is not going to favourable to us at all. A big hike in rent and reduction of revenue access is likely as Wasps continue to say that revenue is king.
Too many people more interested in Wasps than CCFC on a CCFC forum... Very strange.
So how many times do you post about Wasps?
How many Wasps games have I been to then?
I don't know where you have heard that Wasps/ACL have the option to extend the contract. If you think logically they wouldn't have it. It would mean that they could force us to stay. When we went back it was said that we had two years with the option of another two years. This would also go with Fisher saying that we would build our own stadium. SISU were given 3 to 5 years by the FL to build one. A year in Northampton would leave 2 to 4 years of the allowed time. So this now means 1 to 3 years.
Most of us are worried about what a new agreement could mean. But we know that Wasps need the money so they won't want to price us out of staying. It would also cause bad feeling with people from Coventry when they need all the support they can get.
How many times do I post about CCFC and go to watch CCFC play?
I agree that people shouldn't be shouting about going to watch Wasps play. But them w@nkers Wasps have certainly done enough for us to want to mention them. They shouldn't be in Coventry and I will continue to say so. Nothing will change that.
This is from a post in the Wasps forum from OSB58 - http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/56170-Club-aims-to-raise-£35m-from-bond/page23 - post #225.
"Otium Entertainment Group Limited has executed a licence with a four year term, commencing 21 August 2014 for Coventry City Football Club to play professional football matches at the Arena. There is a break clause in favour of ACL exercisable in 2016."
How that works for us - I don't know anymore than that. But it worries me.
People can go and watch them if they want. Of course they can.
My point was I don't get why people sign up on here who have no interest in CCFC at all and all about Wasps.
Which is what I said but worded differently.

For a start Wasps will never kick the football club out, they need us there. Also this imagined move to Rushden, won't happen, can't happen as i believe a move from Coventry to Rushden is 9 miles over the limit set by the football league as to how far a club can move even temporary from it's "home", someone on here might be able to confirm that. I also believe when we moved to Sixfields our owners or Tim Fisher had Nene Park as a possible permenant home venue which i think was kicked into touch by the FL,someone on here might cofirm that too. Bit of end of season scaremongering i think, it helps take the mind off Sunday for a bit.
I agree there are few grounds on which SISU can move the club this summer with what they said was a good rental agreement, also WASPS are courting popularity within the city not seeking confrontation.
What rent free offer?
I would go for the FL to crumble as they don't want to be messing around in court were as our owners seem to thrive on it and last year seemed to employ more lawyers than scouts.
Another one with a poor memory.
Is it the one that was effectively a loan and would be paid back through ticket sales?
Or the one that only stood as long as we remained in administration, you will have to jog my memory.
No need. You already know like I thought you did.
So they weren't rent free then, unless the club remained in administration which obviously would be bad and would probably incur further point deduction if we remained in it for too long.
And what is your excuse for not returning for rent less than was being paid at Northampton? The FL knew about it. Which is the point I was making. They won't fall for it so easily again.
