May provide it even cheaper if it's a serious alternative.

They offered 100k for league 2. Depends how many got involved.

you would need 2000 per week to afford that even in league 11

Probably more than that. Need to factor in lower ticket prices. Would be about £5 per ticket, less for kiddies. But, hopefully, rent would be a bit cheaper too though.
Even 5000 would only bring in about £25k at this level. Butts may be more affordable, think it's 4k capacity. Other alternative would be ACL part owning the club. Can't see that happening though.

Absolutely imperative we get a team in playing at the Ricoh. How long can SISU sustain funding a club on shit gates with shit players 34 miles away from the city it was founded? Similarly, ACL can't sustain the arena without the bread & butter revenue provided by the football club. This is a war of attrition we're embroiled in now, it's vital we unite and rally around one cause. SISU apparently means perseverance in adversity, we fans have got to 'outsisu' SISU. It would be a substitute club until we out- endure Seppalla and Co, once this is done, CCFC returns.

To be fair prices at the ricoh were reasonable.

The problem is rent couldn't be cheaper, as ACL could not afford to go any lower with rent. Otherwise they would have done with our club and we wouldn't be here now.
Surely it's now all about the fans and people of Coventry. I've lived in London for 20 years but it's still my City and I'm still proud to be a Coventry kid. Lets just go back to the days when kids just went with the Dads and that was their time together. I've got so many great memories of times that i spent with my Dad at Highfield Road. It breaks my heart to think those days are gone for the future generations. Whatever the weather, whatever the score you just went because it was OUR City's team and they represented US the proud people of Coventry. As long as they dug in and gave 100% we didn't give a shit. I really don't believe that changing the name makes any difference. (as long as its not that lame utd venture) A Coventry team plays in sky blue we are the sky blues and we play in Coventry!!

you should see the hassle the former players ass went through just to get a parking space for ex players on legends day, it was like asking for a gold bar.

Dont think so

Agree. Surely better than sitting empty.
No we wouldn't. If you read about Chester, they were slotted in 4 steps below League 2. The criteria are ground, support, catchment area. The Ricoh is far bigger than the Deva Stadium, we have better support, and a larger catchment area.

Mid Comb 2 probably. At least the Midland Alliance.

Doesn't have anything to do with it.

Yes it does, they directly replaced themselves in the football pyramid. 1883 would be a 'plus 1' like afc Wimbledon who started in the 9th tier.

Hope I'm wrong but I don't think so. If CCFC ceased to exist then we would drop a number of leagues and clubs above would get a reprieve. You can't just stick a club in a league which doesn't have a space.

Would be fun in a way. You could be in charge of recording and archiving all the games

I love our crest. A Phoenix club with a similar crest (put on another phoenix... Fuck it, put on 87 Phoenixes) and I'm bouncing down to the Ricoh.

Wouldn't the energies be better spent pushing both sides to talk about putting the current club back in there?
