But would they, and by they I mean fans not owners, want it?
Yawnnnnnn, Your having a laugh, it rarely sold out. I was a season ticket holder throughout, were you from Cardiff? and I can tell you even the Robbie Keane season we couldn't fill it.
Go get some facts....
Nobody knows what the plans are. That's the point.Wrong with the facts again.
Architects plans were previously drawn up for a 25k ground. Do you know what the current plans are? are you one of CRFC's architects? are you on the panning committee? No, so why you quit bitching and wait to see what the plans are instead of frothing about facts that aren't even known yet.
I don't give a fuck about Fisher whilst you whine on about him, but I do care about CCFC. Sorry if that is distasteful to you, perhaps you should try it.
I think you're fucking nuts mate, had your meds yet?... I've always said if BPA ground share was a "Goer" I was all for it. I said with the proviso of a minimum 25k capacity. I also said by turning the ground 90 degrees it should just about accomodate 25k. I've also quoted Mr sharp(Owner of CRFC) saying 15k max no chance of 25k, wether there is any fucking potential of it being 25k is irrelevant!
15k stadium is not, and will never, be big enough for CCFC. CRFC will not allow the increase to 25k. or even anywhere near it!
Exactly but maybe the new owners if they indeed happen.
He literally said 15k or above based on the football club. He never said 15k max.I think you're fucking nuts mate, had your meds yet?... I've always said if BPA ground share was a "Goer" I was all for it. I said with the proviso of a minimum 25k capacity.

I was a season ticket holder years before that 60's onward up to about 4 years ago and approx 8 years where I was playing football. I'm a proud Coventrian and covered thousands of miles following the team. So guess what Moff..... Move these as much as you like mate, you're trying to squirm around what I actually said.
So on 'facts' are you stating that there is less revenue potential? What are our current revenues?
Were you another like Italia that moaned when we had a 23k capacity at Highfield road, when we were in the Premier League.
He said 25k is too big so 15k it is.He literally said 15k or above based on the football club. He never said 15k max.
Nobody knows what the plans are. That's the point.
25K ? Where are these plans or evidence of them?
We need to start bitching or we get what Sisu wants not what we want.
You should care what TF says, he's the chairman of the club and will control it's destination. Remember Northampton ?
Your fucking nuts! what you on about now?Oooh goals post picture. That's original.
Got any facts yet about all those sell outs before we left Highfield Road.
Would it??So surely the fact it'd be led by CRFC would give you hope...?
How do CRFC fans know that Jon Sharp Isn't next Bryan Richardson.
Potential 30+k of ticket sales and as we know ticket revenue is king at this level we're at. That's alot of pies that will have to be sold at BPA. If CRFC will own it like you suggest what non match day revenue will we have access to at BPA exactly? If CRFC do own it what interest do they have in building a stadium to grow with us? Will we have to move back to the Ricoh if we get new owners and the success that can only come once they've gone?
Should be the first consideration in light of the furore of Wasps arrival.Something worth finding out, for sure. Don't have any objections whatsoever with checking CRFC fans are on board with any plans.
As a slightly detached viewpoint, can't help but think Wasps coming in have made it a very real threat of shit or bust for CRFC, so they have to blink and try and do something, at least.
Don't disagree with you.Should be the first consideration in light of the furore of Wasps arrival.
“We would be looking at 15,000 seats or above looking at the football club gates and what they would get if they went up a league."He said 25k is too big so 15k it is.
Quality post Tony, exactly as anticipated.
'Demolishing company' you're behind help you silly sausage
Oooh goals post picture. That's original.
Got any facts yet about all those sell outs before we left Highfield Road.
How the fuck have I made it up? Watch the video numbnuts!“We would be looking at 15,000 seats or above looking at the football club gates and what they would get if they went up a league."
Once more, those are his words. That's my last contribution because I think you believe your own made up version of the truth.
If this is what you're rambling on about read then eat shit .
In 1981, the controversial decision was taken to convert Highfield Road into England’s first all-seater stadium and 8,000 extra seats were installed at a cost £400,000 reducing the capacity, at a stroke, from 36,500 to 20,600.

This unanimously unpopular decision was intended, amongst other things, to deter hooliganism but instead it alienated the fans and, with every game all-ticket, it became harder for fans to attend. Attendances dropped as performances on the pitch deteriorated and the failed experiment accelerated Jimmy Hill’s resignation as chairman.
The seats were ripped out of the Kop in 1985 and the end partially rebuilt to allow a better view. Following the 'Taylor Report’ in 1990 City, with almost 18,000 seats out of a capacity of 26,000, were well placed to meet the report’s recommendations that all top division grounds should be all-seater by August 1994. Work started in the summer of 1993 on the new East Stand and the team played it’s home games to a three sided stadium for one season whilst the new stand rose from the wreck of the flattened kop.
With the East Stand costing £4.3 million, the majority of which came from the Football Trust and the brewers, Mitchell and Butlers, and the new roofs on the Main Stand and Sky Blue Stand, over £7 million has been spent on the ground this decade. But at the end of the 1990’s the club have a new state-of-the-art stadium to look forward to in the new millenium.
They don't exist. It's a game being played by Sisu to deflect from what's actually going on.Exactly the point. Why don't you wait to see what they are before frothing?
That 23k capacity at HR and being "All Ticket" nearly lost the fanbase, but lets not think about that eh?
Weird isn't it? Skybluefaz and Moff are the only two calling me a liar. Ones that would be at my throat, NW, FP Torchy, Genduffy, haven't said a word to me...Very strange?
There's not much potential at the moment, but yes I do know that's short termism thinking, but we aren't on an upward curve at the moment.
Your points on CRFC are fair enough.
The thing is until all the facts are out there, its all supposition, and we can guess and second guess. I don't know what the deal is at the Ricoh, as much as I know what the plans are for the BPA, but I will at least give them a chance to let us know what the plans are (if they ever come to light) before I make a decision on how I feel about it.
As I said in that other thread there are two competing theories.Genuine question - is he?
In the context of my point, it was more about SISU not being around and about to do any building but, well, yours is a far more interesting discussion than all this bollocks filling this thread just atm.
And the penny drops. Until the facts are out there. It's a year since CA started talking about the BPA. Where is the business plan? People are championing it and they know FA about it. A whole year has passed and nothing, it's already as believable as we've narrowed it down to two sites, announcement in three weeks, announcement in the new year etc. etc. yet you've got the what can only be described as the out of the Ricoh at any cost wetting themselves at the prospect of something that let's face it isn't likely to happen and even if it was (which it isn't) don't even know if it's best for CCFC. It's incredible.
It was all ticket under Jimmy Hill only wasn't it?
As I said in that other thread there are two competing theories.
The pointers have been in this direction for Over a year haven't they.
Truth Is I'm guessing like everyone but one of these theories will out,Much as I like Malakas one it could be classic misdirection.
Can you be more specific- are you talking about people blaming fans that attend, fans that don't attend or both attendees and non attendees?-- and some STILL blame the fans. Thick as pig shit.
not sure about the bit about under pressure from Wasps NW.Something worth finding out, for sure. Don't have any objections whatsoever with checking CRFC fans are on board with any plans.
As a slightly detached viewpoint, can't help but think Wasps coming in have made it a very real threat of shit or bust for CRFC, so they have to blink and try and do something, at least.
