The difference is Cable, your dad would just get someone else in to rent the house. Can't see Cov Sphinx affording the rent
No but we are not the only source of income and they aren't reliant on us anymore. I bet they could soon make up the revenue in other areas. We aren't as indispensable to them as some people seem to think.
I would have thought another of the critisiscms of SISU would have been the appointment of an unsuitable, unqualified manager purely because he was cheap. However, on a SWOT analysis they seem to score on the top left there.
The bottom left has been getting populated lately as well......
Why cheever are you obsessed with people who support the club who don't live in Cov. It goes a long way back, and you've continued with this anti-You should live in Cov to support Cov for so long, Personally its getting a little boring.
I don't live in Cov , never have, probably never will, but i/we have as much right & opinion as you ,to support and give comment on Cov. What have you got against those who live elsewhere ? Is there one club in the whole league who only have fans that live within the city limits, No.
Otherwise your a very good poster and one i agree on a lot with ,but can you drop your not a proper fan if you dont live here, bit, please
The Rev
What for Thorn? You couldn't find paper big enough....
Wrong, Rev.
I applaud the non-Coventrians who follow the club.
What I think is wrong is for you chaps to be telling Cov Council where they should be spending their money.
You lads come to follow CCFC and fair play...there's thousands in our great City who can't be arsed....but CCFC is a PRIVATE company owned by profiteers.
OUR council may wish to bail them out, but non-Coventrians should have NO say in whether this is the case. The citizens of Cov alone can decide this.
<br />id rather play at the butts arena. Use the 100k a month rent to build two sizeable stands and use there.<br />

much better atmosphere then the ricoh

and it would bring back your old skool fans who have been driven away since highfield road
I pretty much agree with this.
I do understand what Cheever means, and ofc Coventrians should have the word in this case.
If council care about the ppl and the club, why dont they do something about SISU ?
think how many concerts and rugby games etct can be played on the weekends if the football club isnt there, it wouldnt take to long to replace us there :facepalm:
Including those who have no interest in the welfare of the club (90% of the electorate)?
Yes, even them. I know we are not so many overseas fans, but my option is that the footballclub is the ppl of Coventrys.
The City Council has no say in the running of the club, only the stadium in which it plays.
In my opinion the Council should never have got involved with the stadium either.
Even though the taxpayer has no liability to the club at all?
But the Butts is also a council owned venue so why the hell would they let a club that has saddled it with an enormous empty stadium allow them to play there when its already played in 12 months a year through rugby union and league!!
But the taxpayer has paid for the stadium right?
The stadium is privately owned - only ground rent being paid to the council. The council has no say in events that take place within the stadium.Oh right Always under the impression it was privately owned
Its a 40 year lease. Its not the same as a house rental.
Leases are always negotiable and the landlord must be flexible in special circumstances. Sisu are absolutely right not to pay. The rent is at the moment too high for div 3 football. ..
Also consider this. .. 1.2 million a year won't be much in 30 years... the council would do exactly the same as sisu and use whatever method available to re-negotiate the rent.
It appears!!! that the council/Arena Coventry limited, have been herded into a classic catch 22 situation, and for the first time since they arrived
SISU/Finance, have revealed a course of action that they intend to pursue, with them defaulting on a second rent payment, they have put the onus on the council/ACL, either to pursue the matter through the courts, or to write off what is owed, and further more, reduce the rent on the stadium, if its the former, I suppose SISU will file for insolvency, and the council/ ACL will be seen as the villians of the piece, and the ones who Robbed 10,000 or so fans of their Football club.
On the other side of the coin, if the Council/ACL, cave in to SISU,s demands, there will be thousands of covenrty rate payers, up in arms about having their money used to subsidise a football club, and this at a time when services like police, fire service, schools,NHS, Road maintainence
etc are being cut,
This is a very hot political potato, for the council, in fact its a lose/lose situation, whatever way they vote.
if "YOU" were a councilor, charged with handling the public purse, for the community at large...Which way would you vote, knowing that it could cost you your seat at the next local elections.
This post is intended to be a neutral view, As a Council tax payer, and a Sky blue fan of over 50 yrs.
Your support of SISU - both past, and now present - is really becoming an embarrassement, mate.
I suggest that you think before you post such drivel - or don't post at all.:facepalm:
What will it take for you to realise that SISU are raping the club...and now the city????!!!
Do you live in Cov? No.
So how can you speak for the Cov taxpayer???? :thinking about:
(I'm now waiting for the notice that I am banned.....:slap
