It is advanced all they were looking at was walls,stands,roofs,offices,seats,toilets you know that sort of thing everything is sorted.
Yes, like with the stadium...... Can you explain the sudden interest in Stadiums as reported? I thought that the stadium was well on the way to being built for around 30m. Just the small problem of the site - although that will be solved shortly in ........ wait for it.................... 3 weeks. ROFL Why start looking at stadiums when you are so far advanced with P.i.t.S. Stadium?

Remind me, what does that stand for again? I've forgotten. Is it "Put In The Sticks"? "Poor Infrastructure, Tiny Space"? "Parking Is Thankfully Spacious"?
EDIT: "Proof In Three Seven-day-periods"?
He ain't far wrong. Hedge funds don't buy businesses to run.
spoilt for choice..... I take it äs The Pie in the Sky Stadium....
Always by the wife something from the City shop at Christmas, sounds like it's not even worth a visit this year.
And yet here they are... Running one.
Not what they planned though. They'd have been out of here in 3-5 years at the very
most with a nice profit if they'd carried out their supposed plan. But it went so arse over tits that they're still here.
And why did it go arse over tit?.........because they didn't invest when they should have!"Not what they planned though. They'd have been out of here in 3-5 years at the very most with a nice profit if they'd carried out their supposed plan. But it went so arse over tits that they're still here.
Of course that's absolute drivel. How on earth is China such a player in the global economy with lead times like that? Why wouldn't you source from home if that were the case?
Edit that's in response to RFC

Indeed, first google turns up links with 4-8 week lead time on customised shirts, these are shirts which have been manufactured before, it is not as if the makers would have to start from scratch.
Thought occurs to me that in a worse case scenario we could end up with 2 relatively new
stadiums in Coventry not being used. If we move out and try and finance a new ground there is a risk it could be unsustainable and be the end of the club at some point down the line, at the same time us moving out might drop Wasps in it and they abandon the Ricoh. Would need a lot of things to go wrong but who would have thought we'd be in this situation now 10 years ago.
Nick as the majority of stock comes from the Far East I'm aware that the lead-time when placing an order is between 16 & 26 weeks! (From placing an order to delivery)
Understand and very much sympathise with everyone but like most problems and situations it's not as straight forward and simple as you'd think.
Guess when we were at Sixfields plenty of stock but then we also had the break-in, not a great situation but with everything else that's happened (much of which is out of the hands of CCFC & the Club Owners), not an ideal situation but things will change.

I thought the sisu early years
was the one bit of the saga that wasn't disputed ie they bought ccfc pre crash when sisu were awash with money to the extent that seppala wasn't even involved in the decision to buy; as recession deepened and sisu's money was fast disappearing, joy looked at things a bit more carefully and saw ccfc was losing money hand over fist; there's then the weird dream board phase but doesn't take her long to get rid of that shower and bring in Tim with the remit of stemming losses and identifying ways of making some money out of ccfc. We then see sisu acting as the asset stripping, court battering hedge fund it is. Personally, returning to earlier posts in this thread, the sisu as aliens theory would also explain a lot - joy can only maintain human form for a limited amount of time hence her inability to be in public for long; labovitch was certainly a poor imitation of a human being; hector is the brains of the operation, and as for RFC...

Went into the club shop today to buy lad some city training gear and a hoody as part of his Christmas only to see there is nothing in there unles your xxxl I asked and got told they won't be getting anything else in this side of Christmas. Don't these arse holes want to make any money.
He's almost old enough for our 1st team squad now as well, isn't he?!
absolute embarrassing shop it has virtually nothing in it and even worse 2 people on tills and nothing to sell ...........sums up sisu
The office, club shop and team are all run so that there wouldn't be too many complications if they ran out on the club. That's why the 4 year contract for SP baffled me so much, it didn't seem to fit the rest of the plan?!
I have never seen a company where so much is "out of their hands"
If you can't sell things at Christmas you never will. Shambolic stuff.
I really don't know what they are playing at. It is the time of year that people can be buying their kids stuff, kids who will grow up as a fans. They can sell bloody sky blue santa hats and crap like that and people will buy it, it will make them money. It will get people in the shop so they can be upsold.
They could put something on at the club shop in that massive space by the TV with a santa or something for the kids while they tell the adults about a great deal on tickets they can buy. Few mince pies and a cup of coffee or tea and get people in there.
It wouldn't have to be about a new stadium, it wouldn't have to be a Q and A just people going in there because they support the club. Have Sky Blue Sam walking around Gallagher while people are going into Argos / TK Maxx and stuff handing out a flyer to say come and have a mince pie. It is basics.
How much would it cost to have somebody dressed as Sky Blue Sam walking around the Retail Park around Christmas when it is busy? 60 quid a day max surely? Have him have his picture taken with the kids and tell them about the special offer on Sky Blue Sam teddies, lunchboxes and stuff like that. For a 4-10 year old they would be sold.
We could sit here all day handing them basic ideas like that, it makes you wonder if they do actually have a person internally who does that sort of stuff. What does that Tynan bloke actually do?? Just did a google and found these -

Makes you wonder what they actually do all day other than send out an email to everybody in their database every time we have a game on.
