Would Sisu dare? (1 Viewer)

1ccfc · Jun 23, 2019

After reading this article it just came to mind would Sisu try and make a deal for Alexander stadium? It's only 3 years from completion and one of those years we are already in Birmingham. The EFL are useless and historically allowed Wimbledon to relocate. We currently have no stadium with the chance of a deal at the Ricoh looking further away than ever. I don't think Sisu have any intention of building a stadium and the Council wouldn't make it easy even if really wanted to. It looks like Birmingham council might welcome the chance of a tenant, partner or even selling. Would Sisu do this to us?

What would be the point...No one would go and Brum have enough teams in the area. Pointless worrying imo..

clint van damme · Jun 23, 2019

No.
But it keeps getting mentioned.
I wonder why?

The stands would need to be moved in closer to the pitch

ccfcway · Jun 23, 2019

If Birmingham council offered us a rental deal with share of FaB income, surely it will be better than St. Andrews ?

They are going to be stuck with a white elephant so will want to get a tennant.

It will need some work on it though

Agree with that. Whatever happens, the fan base isn’t united enough to change it, so it’s out of our hands.

Don’t be ridiculous

They manage at West Ham. Not ideal for us the fans but it can work.

pusbccfc · Jun 23, 2019

No they wouldn't. They want to the club in Coventry.

Sisu ?.

That’s the line to ensure the Ricoh battle continues. If what you say is true, the activity towards reviewing the new stadium site should already have been ramped up as we are not playing in Coventry any more.

Ironically the situation at the London Olympic stadium somewhat mirrors that at the Ricoh
Blunders made at the planning stage meant that it wasn't designed for conversion to a football stadium after the games
As football is the only sport that can sustain a large stadium without public funds a decision was eventually made to sell it to West Ham after the games ended
A number of objectors ran off to the EC to say the deal was unfair as it involved state aid in the form of a loan from the local council
The EC ruled the deal illegal so the sale was cancelled and the current leasing arrangements with West Ham and British Athletics followed
These were also botched so the London tax payers are currently still subsiding it because of the huge costs of converting it for a few days of athletics every summer
I suggested in an earlier post that maybe the best solution to avoid Alexander stadium becoming a white elephant is to build a new stadium on the northern side of Coventry which we can move into afterwards as Man City did after the Manchester games
Ps I expect that the EC will see the Olympic stadium case as a precedent and rule that Coventry council acted contrary to EU law in it's deal with Wasps

Moff · Jun 23, 2019

They wouldn’t dare, but how about we fuck Wasps off there as they seem quite keen on moving homes.

Would leave the doors for a Phoenix club wide open.

I do wish people would stop going on about a Phoenix club

You mean the people who it turns out don't bother going to games and when they try to talk football they make themselves look silly? It's usually only them bothered about it for some reason.

Fuck all to do with you what games I go to or when. Do you go to every game ?

It's very relevant.

SkyblueBazza · Jun 23, 2019

How exactly would we see it happening? It is the home of & Headquarters for British Athletics. I cannot see them selling up & moving. And SISU wouldn't be keen anyway imo - Walsall is a stone's throw away one way, Villa the other

Any sign of the club buying a permanent home out of the city and the support would disappear. As others have said, perfect for the insects, better size for them and there is a bigger (and potential less fickle) population to tap in to.

For me personally, there's a limit to how long I can support us playing outside of Cov no matter who's responsible.

Wouldn't that be absolutely the best news for ccfc since we left Highfield road. Let's permanently relocate, as long as the match day money is better.

I raised this month's ago?

Alkhen · Jun 23, 2019

Dream world. Sisu buy it and then do a swap deal with WASPs for the Ricoh

But then Don Perry would just walk in and burn the place down.

Did you include the superfluous comma in that post too. If so, see itsabuzzard for help.

I like the sound of Coventry Corinthians, or maybe West Midlands Athletic.

How long would that be ?. This scenario is no sixfields, this one is a war of attrition

That not what I said it is. I said it has to be better than St. Andrews

I don't know to be honest but I don't think I could keep going outside of Cov indefinitely. It's just depressing.
