Ground share will be a disaster (3 Viewers)

[stupot07]

How long's your ground share going to be ?

Yes or no? We were gone 14 months last time.

Your evasion from question speaks volumes.

I mean, once you’ve put too much of the stuff on your toast...

...there’s no taking it off. You’re fucked.

 

[luwalla]

Never went to Northampton , but I’d go to a different ground( with a reasonable , 25 mile, distance ) now

Had my suspicions about the council and Higgs last time, but this time it’s evident that they are as much of not more to blame for us being homeless.

 

[chiefdave]

Maybe move to Stadium MK, sell 15,000 season tickets. Can you see a problem with that ?

Some of our fans were praising Wasps for moving permanently.

Is there any evidence whatsoever to say they are looking in Coventry ?

Even the council have been forced to admit, after Duggins put his foot in it, that there have been talks with SISU about specific sites.

But where?
Anyone can say we want to build here or there knowing that they are not suitable so until we know the sites we cant really make a judgement.
Cant remember the size TF said we were looking for but it was quite large.
Remember TF telling us that Caultalds was there preformed site but it was already earmarked for houses.

Could knock down the industrial estate and old factory at the end of Swan lane opposite Lear seating, now that would be an ideal location easy to get to and would smarten up the area.

Sounds good - new stadium near to Highfield Road. I've lived away from the City now for over 30 years, is there the space to build there now?

 

[Magwitch]

Be a disaster in my opinion, we still don’t know where yet and I think the EFL need an answer this Tuesday. I know Boddy has mentioned Burton, is he serious ? I’m not even sure you can share with a team in the same division, sure I read that somewhere last time.

Theres one or two small industrial sites around that could be bought up and flattened like the one at the end of Swan Lane and there’s one in Rowleys Green Lane right next door to the Ricoh and as we know infrastructure wise everything is there.

It’s hardly an ideal scenario but it is different to last time. The owners of the ground are refusing to talk. Legal action or not it’s not acceptable as isn’t the clear collision between all other sides to force a change.

The club needs to have some revenues to carry on and I hope fans get behind the club if it happens. I think the club will handle better as well in terms of providing transport.

Northampton or Burton would be viable options for travel time and ease of entry and exit.

There certainly shouldn’t be any people outside protesting - they could do something useful and stand outside the Ricoh if they don’t want to go in

 

[ccfctommy]

If we leave then I won't be going. How long will we be out of the city for. Will sisu build a new stadium? Will they fuck.

If they do, be prepared for it to take a while...

...especially if every return communication from the Council takes 6 fucking months

Say what you want fans won’t go, might at first but that will taper off to same as last time and then how do sisu pay for it ? by my very conservative calculation at £15 a head x 10000 home fans I reckon we will lose more than £100k a match that’s almost two and a half million quid a year plus corporate money plus ground rent, how is our owner going sustain that ?

League 1 clubs do exist on gates of 3,000 - the cloth gets cut accordingly

 

[Magwitch]

You are in the land of fantasy mate, besides the shed full of money that will be lost so will players, manager probably did last time, Acadamy 2 status, the best players of each age group will get swooped up too. I give us twelve months unless sisu piss off.

So how do clubs like Accrington compete at all?
If Hoffman takes over I’d give us 12 weeks

 

[Magwitch]

Why 12 weeks, I keep reading this anti Hoffman talk as a regular anti on here explain why and as I see it Hoffman ain’t taking over he is acting with and on behalf of a consortium how that pans out who knows

 

[MalcSB]

The current ground share hasn’t worked out that well in the end, has it? And which group of council twats conspired to enable that to happen?

 

[Magwitch]

What current ground share is that then ?

Accrington over achieve

Wild guess but I think he means the Ricoh.

Am I right?

Right first time, obviously significantly brighter than Magwitch!

No just extremely obtuse posting the same old shite

Why shouldn't they protest of they are not happy?

I know I for one will not waste my money going to games or protesting.
But if people feel free to do ether then fair play to them.

Why would we lose the grade 2 academy status? We didn't last time.

I can guess who your responding to, but let’s put this in context.

Tens of thousands not going to watch ccfc (the Wembley lot and more due to years of apathy, inertia, would go if it was free, etc etc), a few thousands who will follow them wherever for home games, a few thousand who won’t go outside Coventry, and a few hundred who will protest. No need to focus on the few hundred out of a city of 300000

If we are shipped out to Burton or MK then we will be getting crowds no bigger than Accrington and therefore will be punching above our weight in League 1.

We'll lose the CCFC shop in Arena Tesco surely ?

Why would the club lose it? Arena Tesco is totally unconnected to ACL/Ricoh company.

[chiefdave]

I would suggest that if it was a site the council could rule out straight away they would have done that rather than sitting on it for a year while claiming the club had never spoken to them about a site. The council have the ear of the media and supporters groups, even if they don't officially announce a site isn't suitable its very easy for them to get it out there.

Cant remember the size TF said we were looking for but it was quite large.

It was 60 acres but that was for a new stadium, training facility and academy all in one.

Remember TF telling us that Caultalds was there preformed site but it was already earmarked for houses.

Wasn't it Matton who suggested that and then had it pointed out to him it was already being built on and had to admit that it wasn't possible to build a stadium there?
