who said they should have it for free you clownGet a grip.... Why hand the arena for peanuts to the cancer that wants it. You, the tax payer contributed to that ground, lets just give the ground by running a lottery to a Cv resident. Much better than letting SISU get the mits on it. Nothing in life is free.
Beat me to itHas anybody said sisu want it for free?

Just read my thread starter, heat of the moment.

I don't know that they don't intend to open a freak show with dancing elephants and Siegfried and Roy making a comeback, all situated on the plot allocated for a hotel.

Funnily enough, throughout this whole business I've been amazed at how few people have made the point that as the Arena is half owned by the City council, it means it is half-owned by the citizens of Coventry. It is the job of the Council to do the best for the people of Coventry, not just those who support the football team. Obviously the football team rests at the heart of the City but the Arena is about more than just football. It's about regeneration and developing the local economy. Football is being used (appropriately) to enable that to happen.
SISU, in my opinion, have tried to bully ACL and therefore it must never be sold to them. Only to the club when it under fit and suitable management that will have both the football club and the community at it's heart.
When Fisher described the council as Socialist and SISU as 'uber-capitalist' it summed it all up perfectly to me.
To paraphrase Mark Twain when he said, "Loyalty to your country always. Loyalty to your Government , only when it deserves it" I would say, "Loyalty to your club always. Loyalty to the owners only when they deserve it".
Do you know that they don't?
some people are so narrow minded
the football stadium belongs to the council tax payers - so why help the football club
it is about having a growing vibrant city where people want to come to and investors want to invest
By creating a 4th division football team and a load of pound shops and charity shops this will not happen
A vibrant city needs successful sports teams (amongst other things) - so as soon as the council got involved in the stadium they should have appreciated that
now i am not saying SISU are the answer - but looking ahead, if the council want to keep their fingers in the pie, then it is in everbody in the City'sinterest that they do help the football club
Remember 87 - if we could ever get that back again, how much would that be worth to the city??
Are you saying that any private institution wouldn't have it for free? What actually are you saying?
It's either an asset of the people of Coventry as Anne Lucas said, in which case ACL are right and duty bound to make as much from it as they can OR its the Cites football stadium where Coventry City FC can be a successful club.
It's pretty obvious, it can't be both. Ultimately the people of Coventry will decide which it is to be.
