I largely agree with you but nobody has quantified the benefit of the 365 revenue model. Sure I accept it means more money in the door but it has to be offset against the cost of the benefit which SISU continually

To gain all those benefits cost, you seem to imply they come for free. The 2.1 mil was simply an illustration of the financial burden building our own stadium would put on our money out column Nothing stopping the club from purchasing any or all of those options on a match day or any day and...

No as we would be liable for them if we rent or own or played elsewhere so they are part of the clubs running costs

This debate about owning your own ground to me is largely irrelevant at this point. If we want to own a stadium it will have to be paid for somehow. If CCFC or the SISU equivalent of ACL has to raise say £30million to purchase land and construct a modest stadium and agreed to pay it back over...

All this fixating on WASPS achieves nothing. Operating on the premise that a failure for WASPS will lead to a resurgent CCFC is also preposterous. CCFC were failing under SISU long before WASPS got here so there is nothing to suggest from the past that SISU would or could make CCFC a success if...

like a blind man in a dark room looking for the black cat that isn't there

You can lead a horse to water but a pencil must be lead

Probably journalistic license i give you but How come you have such 20/20 vision and see though all of this and can expend this much effort reacting to the CET but you fail to see or react in a similar manner when SISU , Joy and Tim spin you a load of old tosh? Queue pages and pages...

interesting that Fisher says the BPA cant go ahead due to the political embargo but the position of CCC on public record is: "Coun Duggins has previously said the council will not engage with the club directly while owners Sisu press ahead with legal action over the Ricoh Arena. But he...

I dont know Steve at all but he was game enough to try to make a difference, on here all his points were well argued and a sensible point of view. What can be said though is at least he stood for something in the hope of making a difference, more than can be said for many.

Disagree. A billionaire owner will look at the club he likes, if it is his hobby. If he is seeking a return on his investment he will look for the club that gets the best returns. Owning the stadium has potentially little impact on that if you are in the premier league given the TV money and...

I agree but it is still massive money and the relative disparity of what they can fund is now less. Given that most players are from abroad you don't have to compete with Man U to get get good players, you can certainly out compete with most teams in Europe. They wont necessarily be paying big...

You have to consider where Bournemouth are, they have a approx £100,000,000 guaranteed income before they sell a ticket. Once in the premier league the big ticket item is the TV money. I'm sure they can get by.

Extending the lease would not have helped at all. What needed to be payed was the outstanding amount to the bank over the agreed period at the agreed interest rate. Hence the council purchasing the loan and charging a commercial rate of interest to ACL. WASPS have since repaid this loan in full...

It will be interesting if there is any response from CRFC

Dont think CCC could take that position and legally defend it as it is not connected with the JR's. Planning is planning and if SISU (or whoever) is going to make money and get a return I would not expect any hesitation from them.

its just my opinion its heavy with "This scheme would be good for Coventry City as a club, Coventry as a City and the community - providing inward investment" implying that its all lined up ready to go but the political embargo of CCC has blocked it.

This well crafted statement which seems to address most of the discussions on this board can obviously be taken two ways, one as an open an honest vision of how they want to move forward or the reasons why nothing is happening due to a political embargo preventing any discussion or development...

So how much do you think it will cost to build a new stadium? even a modest scheme will cost more than the crippling £1.2m rent. Just do the maths
