Stadium update (42 Viewers)

[Calista]

It doesn’t really because the club had no asset base and a 2 year licence so was worthless.

The financing doesn’t change the asset value as such

Thanks for that.

I struggle to see much distinction between company finance and sorcery tbh.

Big signing, but still leaves a hole at striker and CB imo

My theory (based off nothing but a hunch) is Cashley is interested in Sheff Wednesday and as a result happy to cut ties with The CBS

Interesting, big club with a big fanbase ,after todays news nothing would surprise me.

Classic penny-pinching by Doug, anything to avoid a 10k fine

Hahaha brilliant comment! PUSB

It's fine as it is. You've got to remember we only use it for 4-5 hours every fortnight, most of the punters are here for other events, hotel stays, conferences, etc.

Maybe they could change the name of it to something more , Coventry city

 

[SBAndy]

thats the problem, with where it is you're basically only ever going up there for an event.

you could look at making it a destination like the o2 with all the other things there but you really need the transport infrastructure to do that, not to mention it would cost tens if not hundreds of millions.

I do wonder if there’s been some kind of analysis of the site and surrounding area to figure out whether any additional opportunities. The industrial estate could have decent potential if you were going all-in (not that I think we will).

Just would like a sky blue lick of paint and a new name which links to the club.

Instead of the existing sky blue paint and the Coventry Building Society Arena

11 years ago today after that shit bore draw at MK Dons, I went on what I thought was a booty call courtesy of Plenty of Fish. 11 years later she’s scoffing her lunch right next to me. Not relevant but will share while everyone is zen.

But then you are just catering for people that go for 4-5 hours 23-25 days of the year and not the other 340 days.

No it needs to be in the vince mcmahon stylee

 

[SBAndy]

I've got a feeling it's run in house. Not sure there's a huge amount you can really change in that space but renaming it and making it something more like the tavern would be fairly easy to do and very welcome.

As it stands you’ve only really got the Anecdote where you can go for a pre-match drink if you have kids with you (either that or straight in the stadium). That’s what has always struck me about using the exhibition hall as a fan village - you’d likely get thousands in there with a massive screen and some food/drink vendors.

The Bigirimana Bowl?

Can we get the council to gift us the lease now ?
Good will and all that!

 

[christonabike]

Feel very emotional too! On my dad’s last day he took his oxygen mask off and asked if there was any news about the “City” buying the stadium. This club means a lot to us all and has formed many a bond between father and son etc. We must never let this happen again and I for one will spend a few quid at the club shop etc to support the Skyblue ship and I hope people come on board even if they can’t get to the games just buy something to help the war chest.

Talking about the anecdote which is a bright orange but tbh it doesn’t matter at all.

Still buzzing about the news

I’m happy for the rest to stay the same. Even keep the name the same. Just would be nice to tie the outside into the club’s colours

We'd need to rename the hotel and casino too

The Jimmy Hill-ton

Name it after Jimmy Hill? Seems fitting with the statue there

 

[Moff]

Can we get MMM back on here for a laugh

Robins Nest

Got a nice synergy about it because one of the main characters in the show had 1 arm and most of Robins keepers played like they had 1 arm.

Was thinking, wonder if the club would move the sky blue tavern here and close the one in town

Keep it where it is and rebrand the anecdote. The club needs to maintain as big a footprint around the city as possible and the tavern is good for that.

The elephant and castle. Proper boozer name!

We need to put together a Ricoh Arena Legends Day at half-time today. I want to see all the big names. Ken Dulieu. Leonard Brody. Les Reid. The guy with the sky blue coffin. The ghost of Mike McGinnity.

Some would say today isn't the day for opening old wounds and schadenfreude. It's a day of togetherness and reconciliation.

But I'm not one of them There is no better day than today to call out all the treacherous rats who turned on the club, fuck every one of them.

Reconciliation always the way

What a momentous moment for the football club. Similar to buying your own house, the possibilities are endless! Then reality sets in that this shit costs money. Small incremental improvements the name of the game, and excited for the match day experience to improve even more than it has already. In our coventry homes... PUSB

Officially rename the club Coventry Cidy in the big man’s honour.
