Perhaps that's the next tactic. Email all the forums to ask them to boycott any game if we are ground sharing

That's about it.
Will "bully boy tactics" still prevail however?
Sisu are in the wrong game unless they are using Ccfc as any old failing business as hedge against profits elsewhere.
They do not care about the club and the Council are right (as we all must hope) that they are ousted.

Council are correct to a point. If they are the preferred bidder they must sell on to investors rather than run club

What if it is? You're right I don't know anything about the proposed location but it will be in Coventry or thereabouts. I travel from Warwick anyway so if the Ricoh replacement was a few miles nearer or farther then it wouldn't make a difference to me. If we stay at the Ricoh then great, but I don't feel any real affinity for it, so that's the reason for my stance.
If you feel no affinity for the Ricoh then why are you so desperate for us to play there next season? Sisu's tinpot little stadium will keep us at league 1 level end of. The ricoh isnt the problem,ita the disgusting owners that are.

Of course I want us to stay at the Ricoh, why would I want the team to play in Walsall? However if a new stadium was built in the City then I really wouldn't be bothered. You're right though a smaller stadium and SISU ownership would probably keep us in L1. Helped by apathy from the City of Coventry.

How can you maintain that SISU are the bullies?
The nub of the dispute is between SISU & CCC.
The bully is the stronger. Who has all the strength in this dispute?
I see it as the council waving the lease signed years ago and pushing for the full arrears even though they have already received more than the sum they supposedly agreed would be acceptable for div 1.
They have the strength of the law behind them. How can SISU be said to be stronger?

It wouldn't be built in the city though. It may be just outside it of course.

If that is the case OSB did we break FFP last season ?It would balance with my prediction of turnover at £6+M. last season ,that really must have been close to breakeven .
We'll it's not ok for the majority. Outside the city is not Coventry city. I cant think of anything worse than a sisu owned/built stadium. We'll never get rid of them ever.
I know people who are now closing these accounts down ,absolute diehard City Nutters family of four who don not want ~SISU to profit from any windfall at all ,can anyone see whats happening here.
I guess I'm going to have to transfer my Balance to an interest free Credit card now also,have always been so proud to wave my skyBlue plastic about.

Fair enough, of course. Each to their own and all that. However, you have to look at other stadiums - Brighton's isn't in Brighton and the Ricoh is hardly in Cov, is it?
The last time i checked the Ricoh was in cov. Staying at the Ricoh is vital as are new owners. You never know what the future holds. Look at Southampton,decent owner, playing in the prem to a full stadium. Who's to say that can't be us in a few years under new owners? The Ricoh would be at great ground in the prem. How many saints fans would go back to the dell?

I'm not disagreeing with you and as I've said if we stay at the Ricoh then great. However, despite the mess SISU have made of Coventry City they certainly have highlighted the way ACL have taken advantage of the club over the years. Playing at the Ricoh without a radical overhaul of the ACL business model will be just as destructive as SISUs tenure. IMHO anyway.

the farcical words from TF are, i can only assume, those born out of spite,
when he says that he has listened to the fans, that may be so,
but he most certainly has not replied to, or acted upon, the fans wishes,
i.e. 90%+ of the fans do not want coventry to play outside the city,
could this listening process be a pre-requisite for owners to go through in circumstances such as ours ?
further his blase tone i find both irritating & untrustworthy,
imho, he has made significantly more enemies recently, & i don't think Ms JS will be enamored with his recent performances,
as for PA, i would hope that he has enough nous to see through TF's efforts

Well hopefully a new owner would unite the club and ground and nob acl off.

Come on, let's get real here.
Who thinks the new stadium will be an excellent new venue and who thinks it will be a cheap build, rush job with poor longevity?
It's not going to be a great stadium and we all know it. It's going to be much of a muchness.
The Ricoh is a mighty fine stadium, though lacking in atmosphere. That can be remedied by a winning team on the pitch.

Its got no atmosphere because its a third full because of the product served up a new stadium if it is built which I doubt does not come with a great atmosphere included anyway its not going to happen or will it?

Tim Fisher's one for Tellin' Stories. He saw the rent and said 'How High?'
+ other songs I can't remember. That's probably the only one I know.
Wrong album....this The Charlatans self titled album.

If you want to get real you should ask who thinks SISU have any intention of building a stadium and who thinks they are only planning the ground share as a blackmail to try to prove to the council the Ricoh can't survive without the club.

i seriously wonder what is the credibility rating of sisu ?
