Idea is, IMO, is to get ACL to the negotiation table (now we have to negotiate) and come to agreement, we want 200k, ACL want 400k, I reckon they'd (SISU/TF etc.) settle for 300k as that is realistic.
We have to remember there are little details have to be agreed as well, if SISU just accepted 400k like that, they may regret it.
For example, we still have to pay the debt we owe, but SISU are saying, no, that rate is too high, we'll agree a new price and back date, as well as having match day revenue.
All of which cuts costs, so if we get promoted, the losses we've made would be made up. Assuming if we got promoted or were top of the league, or thereabouts, our attendances would increase, thus more revenue and so on.

We have a better record away from 'home' anyway. What's the issue? Points, points, points!

Wouldn't anyone who would take over CCFC want to own the RICOH? So what's the big deal with SISU being able to get a share? I'm pretty sure ACL would safeguard the club. Honest question(s).

Sisu want the Ricoh, CCFC is secondary

But how are SISU different to any other similar investors? Secondly, how is that necessarily bad, they want RICOH, but to get to there, they need a successful CCFC.
As I said in the previous post, ACL would surely safeguard the club. Realistically, we can only get 50% share now anyway, the council won't sell up, too much money for the, to give up.

And perhaps they've developed a cynicism for the ambition of our current owners?

Is this the time. Where we switch again. SISU are nasty bastards again because if they went through with this they would be shafting us, this time.
ie back to the hypocrisy, they shaft a charity with their tactics it is not a problem if it benefits CCFC (for some)
They now potentially shaft us with their tactics and it is now f off SISU you nasty bastards.

I don't really, it was a badly made attempt at making the point. How people think SISU are alright when they make a stupid decision that suits that person.

This is right up there with other SISU "palm slapping forehead" classics, like "text a sub" and "orange twats in the dugout"...

Club Statement Issued
Coventry City have issued a statement regarding an alternative playing venue if a deal with Arena Coventry Limited over the amount of rent, the Sky Blues as tenants are expected to pay, cannot be agreed.
As mentioned on this site on Saturday, local radio stations and elsewhere, City have checked out Nene Park in Northamptonshire, the home of now defunct Rushden & Diamonds FC as one alternative.
City's statement is as follows:
“Following the issuing of a statutory demand by ACL last week the board of directors of CCFC will, first and foremost, continue to work hard at bringing about a resolution regarding the rent dispute with ACL that will enable the football club to remain at the Ricoh Arena.
“However, in the interim period, they must consider other alternative and appropriate venues which are affordable for a football club to ensure CCFC fulfil their future fixtures.
"The club has therefore commenced the sensible process of making contact with other football clubs to evaluate if their stadiums meet our requirements should negotiations with ACL fail to reach a mutually agreed position on the rent with the result that CCFC is forced to move away from the Ricoh to a new venue.”

Being 40+ miles away I would think this contravenes the FA rule that they put in when Wimbledon got shafted, that you cannot move a club outside the conurbation that gave the club its name????

Well, personally I don't see it happening. Heads need to be knocked together and put this whole situation to bed once and for all. However if it did as other have mentioned there are so many negatives the big losers would be the football club and us battered fans, who seem to go from one crisis to another.
Firstly the season ticket holders, how would they accomodate them, I beleive Nene only holds 6,500. Second are we actually allowed to move mid season. Third we would lose more gate receipts. Forth would I travel and extra 90 mile on top of the 200 I already do for home games, not sure to be honest.

Only half the mugs on here would even begin to believe that pile of shite about moving to Nene Park.
CCFC have got restricted bargaining power if they can't present any alternative to staying at the Ricoh, surely you understand that.

exactly who at the club issued that statement,
we've started listing the sisu ideas / actions, that have been proffered,
i.e. text a sub, orange one on the bench, onye's regular contact with fans, etc.,
think we should have a sisu profanasaurus

FL Rule on groundsharing
Threat's by Coventry City's Board to play matches at Rushden & Diamonds and Kettering Town's former Nene Park home are in contrast to Football League regulations.
City, last week checked out the prospect of playing matches at Nene Park which is some forty five miles from Coventry. However, Football League Rule 13.4 states:
"Ground sharing will only be approved at the discretion of the Board. The Board will not generally approve any ground-sharing arrangement where the club plays its matches outside the conurbation, as defined by the Board, from which the Club takes its name or with which it is otherwise traditionally associated."*
City would also fall foul of rule 13.7.3; "would not adversely affect such Club's Officials, players, supporters, shareholders, sponsors and others having an interest in its activities;"*

The FL's priority is for a club to complete its fixtures, if we are locked out Nene Park may be the best solution for the FL.

It will never happen, nowadays (As in Rotherhams recent case) you have to pay a half million pound bond, and promoise to be back in your 'own' town withing 5 years, or something like that.
Not many would travel, the club would lose money, surely!
