It's OK then can go and play at the Ricoh.
Can you imagine the Jimmy Hill Way losing their shit if this happens
Honestly if they did this I'd expect a rush of season ticket sales and more sold than this season
This is actually a worry. The demand for tickets would be higher than the Ricoh with a far smaller capacity.
John Sharp said:"We'll offer what support we can to get there, but the one thing we cannot do is have any formal arrangement with them, any groundshare, whilst they're owned by their current owners.
"Whether correctly or not, the current owners are vilified within the city. Whether that is fair or not, I'm not going to comment on.
"But we have spent many years re-establishing our status in the city. I'm not prepared to risk that by associating with City's owners."
I get what he’s saying but money talks mate the income would be massive for themIf as many are saying the opinion is swinging towards at least some animosity towards the council could the bolded bit be key? He entertained the idea before the council stuck their beaks in.
In the long run, that could actually be good for our support if people need to buy season tickets / buy a ticket early to get in. It'd create a pent-up demand that just isn't there now. Even for the game on the 28th, I know I can leave it to the last minute to buy a ticket, so I'm less likely to bother full-stop.It would probably sell out the capacity with season tickets alone
The council stick their beaks into everything, would be great if we can get one over on them and waspsIf as many are saying the opinion is swinging towards at least some animosity towards the council could the bolded bit be key? He entertained the idea before the council stuck their beaks in.
I can't believe this is anything but a made up load of nonsense for click bait as usual from a hedge fund inspired PR outfit. I'm pretty sure that Mr Sharp said firstly that CRFC don't want to deal with SISU and who would blame him for that. Secondly CCFC would have to invest heavily to upgrade the stadium to accommodate football fans and that would mean also clearing all the stuff already in situ and sorting out separate access for away fans. They're not going to get all that for £100k that's for sure !
Cov rugby will have doubled their turnover I'm guessing to around £1.2 million this year so although extra revenue is always going to be welcome, someone would have to pay for the changes to be made within 4 months to make it beneficial.
Personally I think this is more SISU bullshit and another chance to point the finger elsewhere. I just hope people don't start to drag CRFC into their blame game.
So where did it come from?How is it SISU bullshit when they haven't confirmed it?

You'd be distraught if this came off, it'd be fucking hilarious. The council and Wasps well and truly shafted.I think the Butts story is a ploy to distract attention from elsewhere. Until a definite arrangement has been announced nothing has happened.

And of course if the work needed to bring the ground up to FL standard was paid for by CCFC as long as it was done in a way that matched CRFCs plans that would be less money they’d have to spend themselves.On a side note what would let’s say £100,000 a season do for the financial side of Coventry rugby club in the event of a rent agreement , would it be enough to propel them up the championship
I mean how easy are temporary stands? Could always alternate weeks with the football and rugby?And of course if the work needed to bring the ground up to FL standard was paid for by CCFC as long as it was done in a way that matched CRFCs plans that would be less money they’d have to spend themselves.

More than likely something not been mentioned yet.I'd actually be amazed if this happens. I think St Andrews would be more likely
