The Ryton scenario BCD , it would have to cover the ability to cover it with cameras, and all the rest including adverts etc . There will be some infrastructure costs there I believe, also NO FLOODLIGHTS capable for a competitive game , more cost

Just can't see it working from the required facilities standard.
Being totally open the elements could make it a lottery , thinking sidewinds here.
Obviously most ground's will have some exposure but not to the extent of a totally open pitch.

All of these comments are talking about us coming back to the Ricoh on fair terms. Wasps will only have us there is they can bleed us dry in a vain attempt at delaying their inevitable collapse. Let them fold and take the Ricoh back as our own.

Would be good to move back in there , what a disgrace it all is

The deal they offered last year could not have been too bad I think the club were willing to do it but some one threw in that EU complaint. Why such hatred of Wasps They are in the sports business but not rivals just opportunist. As for collapse we dont know what state our finances are in.If by any chance promotion did not happen for us I would fear for ourselves.

Why such hatred of Wasps

Are you seriously asked why our fans hate a club that happily moved halfway across the country and then kicked us out of the only EFL standard ground in Coventry?

I think we should start a conspiracy that Wasps brought the coronavirus with them and it lay dormant until now, when some half-wit rubgy player (take your pick) took the lid off a jam jar on match day, believing it to contain caviar and lime pickle.

Maybe I made up the last bit, but the bringing the virus with them is definitely true, maybe.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I'm very much of the opinion that I'd rather this move went on longer than any of us want to if it meant our return was final. We shouldn't return to the city at the earliest opportunity only to be in the same situation 3/5 years down the line. We need control of our own destiny once and for all.

renting it off the council ?

 

[ccfcway]

We are on the up, and have been for a few years, but that was from hitting an all time low. We are now getting back to where we were when Sisu took over. If we finish higher than 17th in the Championship next season, then on the pitch we will be in a better position than when they took over. While acknowledging they took on something of a poisoned chalice, those years of stagnation in League 1 and the Northampton move, still means they have a bit to do to be in credit. Finding a way to play in Coventry will be a big deciding factor in changing that.

nearly back to where we were, but outside of coventry and several tens of millions in debt to them

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Stiull gone backwards slightly but found our feet and walking in the right direction.

I, probably naively, believe that if Wasps did go bust and go home there would be a three way deal whereby the council sell the stadium to new owners for a small fee, Sisu sell the club to those owners at a fee that a club owning a stadium would command.

End result, Sisu get a decent RoI, Council don't have to deal with Sisu any more, new owners get a championship club with a stadium and we get rid of issue, the council's involvement and Wasps all in one.

A guy can dream.

They saw the opportunity to puchase a big stadium( something we had 7 years to do and did not) and thats why they moved increased attendances up over double rugby is not like football teams . When they came they said" We will build our own Stadium" 7 years on i'm still looking for the first brick do Wasps own all the bricks.Like you say "only EFL standard ground in Coventry" they should have thought of that before they tried taking legals and sending complaints.I am a City fan by the way I just do not like the way they think everything should be given to them.If Wasps did go bust which I dont think they will. SISU would want it for nothing.

Well that will only happen via the Ricoh. Club needs to get honest about building our own stadium or not if not there’s only the Ricoh, identify possible location or two, not hard,

There was no deal nothing was close to being agreed

I heard there was a deal set up cannot find it. By the way love your picture do not know what you call them is that you without a hiarcut.

That's the Great Jethro unless I'm mightily mistaken.

 

[Tommo1993]

Think any club who doesn’t own a ground and is on very bad terms with those who own it is always in an overwhelmingly precarious position.

Yes, you are right. I thought it was Marty Feldman.
I can usually guess Grendell's avatar without much problem, but got this one wrong

Marty was another genius!!
Don't think he ever got a rhetorical tribute show on TV after his death.
Thought that was poor .

SAJ your quote about Ryton surface that does not have 15 big arsed guys trampling all over it and scrums bit of an unfair comparsion.They may be better but I wonder what they would be able to do at the Ricoh?[/

Accept Ryton it doesn’t have a Rugby team running over but it is used 4 days a week and is prepared for football. Whereas the Ricoh is recent years is prepared for Rugby matches by Rugby grounds men without a physical input of football ground staff. TBF St Andrews at it‘s worst last/this season was still a better surface than the Ricoh is the vast majority of the time.
The last time we had a decent pitch at the Ricoh was when John Ledwidge was sorting it.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

This guy must be taking the piss “any deal must take into account gate receipts and tv money”

fuck them. I say stay at St. Andrews - change the seat colours, he’ll have food and beverage, but no way should them cunts get any football revenue.

keep your non sponsor stadium, I really hope they go bust

 

[higgs]

Would sisu be more interested in selling now that we will be a championship team or will they wait and have a go to see if we can make the promised land of the premier league and make a profit on us

You can only sell something if there is a willing buyer. A SERIOUS willing buyer.

Progress has been made, 100%

I appreciate no one like Sixfields and it was wrong to be there. But we ended up breaking the & 2.3m lease and returned and payed a fraction of that for an additions 5x seasons at the Ricoh. Good business?

OK so we are not at the Ricoh now but that's down to Wasps. We need to be in Coventry.

We have all but gurateneed promotion to the Championship, a better posisition before Wasps arrived which might talk them into negotiations again, particarly as finanaiclly they are screwed.

I have heard a rumour that the lcrautive Vodaphone deal won't be triggered into full effect until CCFC are back at the Ricoh in some way shape or form.

Someone mentioned in a different post that as champions elect our immediate cash worries are not as severe as other clubs which is a good point, with wasps already in financial trouble this must have really kicked the shit out of them.

 

[The coventrian]

Different context and business environment this time.

They wouldn't be here if it wasnt for that shit decision to go to Northampton.

We can never own the ground unless Wasps go pop and even then we could be outbid

The club’s reputation has been overtaken by a fair number of clubs and we now enter the league as small fry

On the other side we have won a lower league trophy and secured two promotions which breaks a 50+ year hoodoo and we have a model in place that’s been effective. But the damage that has been done still has us as a smaller entity than we used to be.

Our crowds would easily beat theirs, perhaps that should be factored in to the insects’ calculations.
