1. Do you think someone telling them to pack it in is going to change their course of action?Someone brings the legals forward, SISU are told to fucking pack it in as they haven't got a solid case, the EFL find them unfit owners and fuck them off, the club is sold and the new owners strike a deal with our landlords to stay in Cov ?!
Rugby is a backup in case we can’t get a Ricoh deal. In which case you should say meanwhile the city exist. Meanwhile the city aren’t liquidated.Can see it now. We move to Rugby, JR3 is launched, Wasps last 3 or 4 years, go bankrupt, sell the Ricoh to the highest bidder which is a developer, it's knocked down and becomes a housing estate. Meanwhile the City are in Rugby..........
CCFC leaving isn’t going to help wasps one bit financially. Wasps are right in the shit financialy with no way in paying it back. Gates dropping, no European rugby next season, senior players leaving and being replaced with foreign imports that won’t settle indicate its going south fast.Wasps failure to qualify for Europe will do them more financial damage than City leaving.
But, put the two together and add falling attendances, and you start to see a financial shit show developing.... Shame.
Were Tim Fishers eyes bleeding when he spoke to this “bunch” of people ?Anyway, with respect to the OP, if Fisher had really said this today at the game to a " bunch of people " it would have spread like wildfire and be all over social media by now. I smell BS.
Try it. You wouldn’t wanna go fucking back lolAm I fuck going to Rugby
You’re pretty much bang on - yes one suburban street leading to the ground. The owners on that street would probably have issues with thousands of fans arriving every two weeks rather than a couple hundred for rugby town (which would obviously be alternate weeks also!)Playing at Rugby:
When and how do we get back that’s the important question, surely the only question. IF there is land somewhere in Cov it would surely be identified by now.
So let’s talk Rugby Towns ground realistically, yes it’s nearer than last time, Sixfields, easier to get to from most of Coventry, good train service too, not so sure about night matches though. But as has been pointed out Butlin Road is not fit at the moment for EFL standards OR security. Erecting temporary stand/stands would require planning permission and there’s just one road in been once years ago so can’t remember the housing situation, I would think anyone living nearby would object to the whole concept. Any Rugby based fans out there who could let us know.
Trouble is we need answers in just over a week and then again by April 26th and we are very nearly up the creek without a paddle. Desperation starting to creep in now.
My opinion is SISU will hold out until wasps go under in a couple or three years. And it is heading that way isn’t it?

Who actually owns the stadium is it Wasps as in this Derrick Richardson chap or is it ACL which could be separate to the actual rugby club.Assuming that happens, surely the CCC wouldn’t give CCFC the stadium and just allow it to have a rental agreement. Don’t think that will help Sisu too much
You may not be able to have a bunch of people, but you can certainly have a bunch of hypocrites.Were Tim Fishers eyes bleeding when he spoke to this “bunch” of people ?
The ground is in better condition than a fair few I’ve been to in L2 & L1 the last couple of seasons. It currently holds 6K so any planning permission I guess would be over time to increase to 9K not from day 1. Segregation is also ok, Kidderminster took 2K the other season but I imagine we would just give a stand behind the goal.The Planning process for upgrading Butlin Rd could easily take up to a year if there are objections.

We are told business wise the Ricoh is doing okay so I’d think it would continue as a going concern.
But is it correct there is only one road to get to the ground and you would be talking being in use every week plus night games do you think local residents will accept that ?The ground is in better condition than a fair few I’ve been to in L2 & L1 the last couple of seasons.

Worth noting today, also!I need to hear a second or third person claim to have been in the room when it was said before I begin to believe this. I've been using the internet for too many years to trust anything off the say-so of one person.
Jus restrict tickets for away fans, easy peasy.It's not that capacity, it's the things like segregation.
I'm not sure sure it is currently in the position to handle 2000 away fans.
How can the council force acceptance ? Yes they can recommend and push for it but that would take time, a lot of it we have a month or a bit more perhaps. Unless we are further down the road than we are told there just isn’t the time as I see it and if it was it would be surely out in the open by now.Will their council force them to accept it as we will bring a lot of money into the local area and the prestige of having a professional football club there something that is lost on the thicko’s within Coventry City Council

3 roads lead off Clifton Road to the ground. Butlin Road goes all the way to the ground. Townsend road leads onto Butlin Road so it’s just the last few yards where they are merged. Can’t remember the name of the 3rd.But is it correct there is only one road to get to the ground and you would be talking being in use every week plus night games do you think local residents will accept that ?
Haven't we all been through this pain before - Coventry have to play in Coventry full stop - EFL have said Coventry must play in Coventry - playing out of the city we will not attract the players or the fans and Robins for one will be off - a good offer has been put on the table take it and let us get on with supporting our team in our home city - if we play anywhere else the club will never improve and eventually end up non - league
Smoke screens again from SISU trying to get Wasps/CCC to move first.The whole thing maybe just to make London wasps blink first and offer a deal, I really hope not though actugh little ground like that could give us a real advantage compared to the Ricoh where everyone loves to come plus minimal away fans

My thoughts also if this was before Christmas with a few months to go before d-day I’d think there could be a chance but there’s just over a month and as it stands looks to me like locals not asked yet.The more I think about it the more I smell bullshit. It's only going to take the police to object to it being stopped. Can't see them giving the nod if it's as people describe. Local residents are going to be up in arms. Sounds like another classic Fishface whopper.

We are a Coventry club why buy a ground in pissing RugbyWe could generate a cracking atmosphere if we filled it every week. If we bought it is there room to extend the capacity?
