What utter bloody tripe !! Just say it cost the average supporter £250 extra per season x 6000 = £1.5 million.............to save the club what? £300K.............they could do that by fucking off some of the deadwood in the squad !
What utter bloody tripe !! Just say it cost the average supporter £250 extra per season x 6000 = £1.5 million.............to save the club what? £300K.............they could do that by fucking off some of the deadwood in the squad !Thanks for re-posting that JG, Apparently none of that definitely rules out Nene Park.
13.4 would appear to be the only stumbling block, where the board would need to rule on what it considered to be Coventry's "conurbation" then if necessary whether they would make an exception for a temporary ground outside it. I think they would allow it if it was only temporary.
Nene Park itself would appear to be an excellent option.
I don't think it's as totally daft as suggested, and it perhaps demonstrates problems with the Ricoh.
- Its pretty new,
- Its fully available with no compromise on fixtures
- It would probably cost much less than 100k pa
- pretty accessible, the A14 is a direct route, and car sharing could be good.
- the capacity (6.5k) is not a million miles off, given that some might not bother and perhaps it could be expanded.
- maybe a ground that we can fill, (and expand) would suit us better than the Ricoh
- a financial model based on this option would probably save the club money and make more money available to spend on the playing squad
- that would give us a better chance to get back up!

If four players cost £1.5m we have what another 30 players? If they on average get paid £1500 pw (Thats not an unreasonable guess is it?) that equates to £2.34m. Total players wages bill £3.84m
Then add to it manager, coaches, support staff, academy wages, directors, commercial staff and office staff, shop staff, safety staff, stewards etc....plus the cost of employers National insurance ............................ are we spending £5m+ in total wages out of a turnover of say £7m including player sales ?

" IF " we move to a 6500 capacity stadium for three years, while this mythical stadium is built, then we will have to expect that those who won't go, or can't go, or can't get in will not be there to see the first game in it when it opens. I have no interest in supporting the Nene park sky blues.
You hear a lot of things don't you?
just a thought but to break the current lease (which you would need to do or end up paying for 2 grounds) wouldnt CCFC have to go bust first? In which case (a) geography becomes less of a problem for us and FA/FL (b) we would drop down at least 2 divisions as New Co (c) the size of the stadium and build costs would be much smaller ???? of course income sources would be much smaller too etc etc
It doesnt make sense
Just thoughts:thinking about:
I've been a season ticket holder for 2 years, a fan since the day i was born and no matter what happens this season, promotion or not, i want another season ticket for next season. But i'm 17 years old, only been going to game son my own for 3 years and i havent got a car yet, so im not gonna be able to get all the way over to Nene Park, and i dare say a lot of other fans will not be able to get over there and a lot of fans cant be arsed to make the effort to get over there, so it isnt a viable solution IMO
We are not going anywhere. Why do we keep discussing it as if there is the remotest possibility?
I don't think SISU would be too concerned about your situation.
If the knew they could fill it without. If they genuinely believed it would destroy ACL or get them back into the Ricoh with a share.
I think they would go for it.
Just my opinion.
This will be the sort if scenario where those who say it is good for the club that SISU are rough less would then be out raged.
This isn't happening. I know this and so do you. Why are you pretending it might?
