The bailiffs (1 Viewer)

[jon92]

Coventry City have been told to pay the rent on a weekly basis by 12 noon on a Friday or risk being locked out of the Ricoh Arena on a match day.
This appears to be the latest ultimatum given to City's owners SISU by Arena Coventry Limited in a bid to get the club to start paying rent for the facilities at the Ricoh Arena.
Well over £1m is owed in back rent by SISU who stopped paying rent following the club's relegation to League One as a bargaining chip in order to get the rent which was initially agreed by Paul Fletcher lowered and this has evolved in to a major row which has seen CCFC staff moved to other buildings such as the training ground, staff locked out of offices and supporters being affected by this row

Well, is it true or just a ghost story?

The story about the memorabilia being removed is true but this is because the owners (who are not CCFC) of the items are concerned about how the goods are being stored and treated by the club and also the threat of the goods being caught up in any row between the club, ACL etc, but more off being locked away rather than being carted off by bailiffs. These items are of great historic interest and are planned to be displayed in a museum that the Trust, the historians, Joe Elliott in conjunction with ACL are working to set up. They were loaned and not donated to the club with the individual historians always retaining the rights and ownership over the items.
