Nothing to keep us there anymore (4 Viewers)

As far as I'm told, Wasps are asking for 2.5m per year from CCFC - don't know if that includes F&B & other revenue or not. This would 'cover' their losses on an annual basis. SISU are offering a lot less. That's all I know.

It's what I've been told. Less than what we're paying to play at Stans?

Were paying more at St Andrews? Jesus Christ they must of held us to ransom

Was told a figure for Stans but not sure I believe it. In any case the only thing I can add is that the 2.5m would include extra office space and bringing the club shop back to the Ricoh. Make of that what you will.

I make that it's a complete load of bollocks and whoever told you is having you on or gullible as fuck. West Ham pay £2.5m for the Olympic stadium .

CCFC said they'd agreed the commercials with Wasps. Just passing on what I read from the club's statement - NEWS: Statement issued by Coventry City Owners SISU following groundshare announcement

It would be more believable if you told me you have a 20 inch cock you use to scratch your ear while you type.

One of the Cov ones saying they regularly got 28k there, the older fans saying that never happened. The Cov ones blame Les Reid.

I hope when they go bust and we eventually make it back to the top the cunts that abandoned us for Wasps don't come back.

Are they actually blaming Les reid? ha

Which link is that?

Same thing, getting pissed off that their real fans are talkibng about shared ownership being one of their option out of it, the cov idiots go for "they are building their own stadium remember, even that muppet Reid from the Cov Observer printed all about it"

It is awkward, especially with the M6 and them fucking about with it.

I worked it out the other day, I parked at the Ricoh for free but it was a bit further out and it was about a 20 minute walk and a 10 minute drive. I got back from St Andrews in 45 minutes the other night including the walk to the car so it wasn't too bad.

That's my own circumstance with driving but I can imagine people hanging about for coaches etc is much different.

It used to take me about 1.30 to drive to Ricoh, (well park in Blackburn Rd) then 10-15 minute walk up to stadium.
It now takes just over 2 hours to Maxstoke Rd (near HMS Forward, off Garrison Lane) about 5 minutes to Peaky Blinders bar (nothing to do with Peaky Blinders by the way. But good music and beer) so a little more awkward. Not happy about it, but I do it now and then because if I didn't I couldn't see us play at "Home"! people who dont want to go will make all sorts of excuses, those who do will just go. saying otherwise is pure bull shit.

I went to watch Coventry for 50 odd years because its my local team, take it away and then its not my local team, if I wanted to just watch good football in Birmingham , I could go to Villa Park or West Brom or Wolves and watch the stars of Liverpool or Man City or Man U or Arsenal, I don't go because I don't want to spend my leisure time in Birmingham every other week , I go to my local pub because its round the corner , I use the supermarket near me , my doctors is in the next street and the local chemist fetches my prescription for me , I don't need an excuse not to travel to the next city to watch football , while 2 hedge funds and a council are racing to the bottom in the name of all they are suppose to represent, call them bullshit excuses if you want , I call them a fact of life

But they are still your team? I now live in Lincoln, but Coventry is my team and it always will be. I dont just want to watch "good football" in Birmingham, I want to watch MY team. If you dont fancy the effort no drama. At least you admit it

Basically you can't be arsed and have a ready made excuse, while loads travel from all over the place to watch their club. Don't come up with nonsense about the council & all that garbage, just say it like it is, you'd rather be in the local than going to support them.

Excuse for what ? what am I excusing and to whom ? , no I would rather be at the rioch siting with my mates watching city , as I have done for years , I don't need an excuse to not want to travel to Birmingham , what other do with there time is up to them , have you been to all the under 23 games the last 5 years ? if not what's the excuse

So conversely, if an MK Dons equivalent rocked up at the Ricoh you would start watching them as your local team?

What excuses , i said i don't want to spend my leisure time in birmingham every other week , Wwhy you want to ague with me over that is beyond me

 

[Evo1883]

The main thing though keeping us in Birmingham is the fact we don't have a home ground to play at..

So there is one massive thing keeping us there tbh

Nobody cares that you've got a season ticket and travel from Bristol either but it doesnt stop you bleating on about it all the time though does it.

No,but like the majority that stay away at the moment he just wants to watch his team play in its home city. Is that so hard to fathom out? Whens the last time you attended a city game?
