So why spend £30m on a new ground, lose 70% of our support, and still be no better off?
Wouldn't it be more useful to start mending bridges and buy the Ricoh (in a professional way, not by trying to bankrupt it)?
Tell me youre joking this new stadium boll=ks? You dont actually believe Tims serious do you and even if he was where would he be able to hold conferences etc so now weve gone from a modular stadium to to a facility like the Ricoh:facepalm:I don't subscribe to the argument that just because the Ricoh has conference facilities, nobody will ever go anywhere else.
Another choice of venue within striking distance of Cov in a new, more modern, and possibly better value for money facility could easily end up taking conference business away from the Ricoh.
70% of our support wouldn't disappear if we moved into 'south Warwickshire', it would whilst we played outside the city though. In fact, I think Fisher's estimate of 7k if we're doing well is reasonable, I think of we were winning the league we'd get a good attendance - success would make these people soon forget their principles - like the boycotters who went to Crewe in the JPT.
I can't see us not playing at the RICOH for next season - for the record.
I do not think they will get 1,000 home fans to games. How will we be winning the league, we will be lucky to stay in this league.
On another note how else will the new venue make any money, am sure ACL would be in competition for conferences ect, bet they would even do at cost to bring down the SISU stadium
And you'd probably support ACL in that wouldn't you? Jesus Christ I want my pound back.

And on another note (from me not Trust) I am not a fan of ACL or SISU

Only 25% of respondents to their own Survey were willing to follow them out of the CITY .............whatever that number is.I know we have shit support but 1000? No way, if we're doing well, we'll get a decent support I think (but in the bigger picture, still poor), it's like those people who boycott now yet I bet they went to Crewe at home! You don't just find 22k fans just like that!
Whatever our current situation, we still have a good team that is well capable of getting top 10 IMO (we came 12th without 10 point deduction but our form suffered from Clarke's injury and Thorn and Shaw's first 8 games).

A whole generation?Hang on, are you saying we wouldn't be better off owning are own ground, even if it were some basic 20-25k stadium? If so, no wonder people like yourself are opposed to CCFC!
Look, when renting the RICOH, we get nothing from stadium events nor match day revenue, but if we owned our stadium we'd get that, that profit would pay off debt, and after the mortgage is paid, like if it were a house, it'd be 'happy days', pure profit to go on the club, I do mean the long term, maybe even a whole generation, but long-term, it's way more beneficial.
Obviously, in an ideal world, that will be the RICOH, but the CCC won't sell in the foreseeable future, whoever owns us - especially if Cllor Maton is in the majority.

SISU have no ambition... TF at the forum on Thursday stated we do not need to sign any players ( for a fee), there are plenty available that are out of contract.
I told him that maybe true, but you will not get out of the 3rd division buy signing freebies.
he then went onto to say about developing youth...my reply was that you will sell them as soon as they are saleable...his response was that was what eery club does.
believe me we are dead under sisu.
I would urge every fan to protest at every opportunity to let sisu know that they are not wanted

Sky BLue Taylor
Why do you think we might get more than 1,000 home fans to go to a home game in Walsall or where ever?
I do not know of one person who will go, am sure there will be the odd one but I don't know of any.
The away fans will bring double as they will want to see what's going on and out number a big club like us, even Crewe will have more fans than us.
The only hence of getting a gate of 3k is away fans.
On another note,do you know how hard it s to get to Nene Park?
.
Still believe no more than 1,000 Do you know anyone who will go to games outside of City.
We will not have the same team next year.

It's one of those, we'll wait and see, but if that's all we can muster, then we should be ashamed of ourselves because that'd be absolutely embarrassing!

SBT...you are missing the point. Virtually everyone is now totally pissed off by sisu. Loads have left and those of us that remain are demoralised by sisu's actions. Whilst they remain, gates will drop ( wherever we play) and the ground share WILL be a failure.
If SISU left, our gates would double overnight as long as the owners showed some ambition.
SISU have no interest in the playing side of the club, all they want to do is tu create an asset ( by building/acquiring) a stadium to offset their losses.
If you think they seek to improve materially improve the playing staff then I am afraid you wil be dissapointed

Doncaster didn't spend a penny last season and got promoted, Yeovil spent about as much as we did last season and got promoted.
SISU clearly do have an interest in the playing squad - there's no evidence they don't - hence they signed 20 players last season and we will sign, I think, at least 5 before deadline day.
Les Reid reckons the current lease agreement is null and void.
@Lesreidpolitics: @SkyBlueBen @covangrybird Yes, up until the lease agreement became void when Ltd went into admin. As you know, ACL will likely get back a %
Lol lol lol you really believe that???
IMO shows how poor league1 was the season just gone. We missed a great opportunity to go up. Next year will be much harder for a variety or reasons. Taylor very deluded if he thinks will be at the top.
