Not sure where we should move to but right now the council is quite happy to retain ownership of the Ricoh and not let the club profit from it. The only threat we can make is not to play there. Without CCFC they will lose money. We need to either consider a ground share or build a temp stadium in a neighbouring town. We can't let the council hold us to ransom
Some people on here have no idea how business works it seems.
Empire Field (above) was constructed in less than four months at a $14.5 million price tag
We could groundshare the New Windmill.
Maybe at the next home game we can lock ourselves in and hold everyone to ransom!!!! They'll soon give in when Bon Jovi are due to play and the roadies can't set up right lads!!!!
My understanding is that the Ricoh needed a bailout by the tax payer so in that sense it now fairer for the council to recover what it can and to also help regenerate the area by finding a suitable investor
Frankly I don't think maintaining an empty stadium makes any sense so selling is a good option but sell to the highest bidder.
I don't think Sisu could afford the Ricoh if they also had to buy and redevelop all the surrounding land. So let's see them negotiate with their own type not Ann Lucas
The council have wider strategic objectives and will want to return added value to the tax payer. So this is a better way to achieve that. They are not here to keep SISU afloat.
SISU seem to want the stadium on the cheap at the expense of the tax payer. Let them negotiate with their own kind!
Let's see how quickly Joy Seppala et al run for the door then!
His opinion just three weeks ago:
Some things don't always work out for the best - a lesson for all of those that think giving the stadium away now is a good idea.
