Revenue isn't currently available Freeholder.
CCFC never paid rent to the Freeholder.
How would a loss making football club, paying no rent into the arena, be classed as "the main asset"?
So you disagree then that the club needs the freehold to survive?
I disagree. Why do you think that zero attendance would be any different to 1,000? From a publicity standpoint certainly it would be a big news item. Emotionally too for the fans.
However I don't believe that either of these things would influence SISU at all. Their only driver is money, and the difference between £10k and £0 for an attendance is small potatoes compared to the £30mm they hope to get by getting the Ricoh and land.
The additional losses are minimal in comparison to the whole.
If they sell one player in January, either for a fee or a big wage earner, that will mitigate the shortfall.
I agree with Otis, we need a sensational story in the media.. if the crowd dwindles to practically nothing that will hit the spot.

We need their investors to get cold feet.. so the tactics has to be adverse publicity & the threat of losing a lot to money (which is why I think an alternative Cov club is something I'd support as it strikes at the heart of their scheme to use fan loyalty as a bargaining chip).
You have a very one dimensional way of thinking.. there is room for both approaches.. adopting one tactic does not exclude another...
So your saying the Wimbledon fans had no choice but to attend the FA Cup game?
Of course it does. Rent can be set at 1 pence a year if it wants of £1 million if it suits. Most business separate assets. The terms in terms of revenue would mean the club benefit from everything that is operated in the stadium and the club os far more attractive as a going concern. There would be no chance we would get separated again as we would be the main asset. If you can't see that, well....
So hijacking Sphinx and moving them to the Ricoh is 'reclaiming' ccfc........

Definitely a better option than passively accepting the fate of being stuck in Northampton for 5 years.

Let's not use the AFC Wimbledon - MK Dons scenario, AFC Wimbledon were set up once the FA confirmed the permanent relocation to MK.

The simple fact is that if a STRATEGIC CCFC club is not formed by early next Spring then season 2014-2015 will be lost. That's assuming our team are still not back in Coventry.
There are a few on here, you know who you are, who pour scorn on any suggestion or idea. They simply sit on their hands and do nothing. Or waffle on endlessly about the nature of apathy or cry disloyalty. Doing nothing is not an option.
Nobody is saying hijack Sphinx, it's just an idea put forward, There are a few ways forward. If that was an idea with support I'm sure there would be sensible discussions between all concerned. Nobody is hijacking anyone.
A few months ago any mention of forming a new CCFC was shot down, I can see a change of mood about this idea now, with a number of posters coming around to it.
If you want at least 7 or 8 years of this, then carry on abusing any ideas put forward, do nothing.
I'd love it, absolutely love it, if my club, your club, came back to the Ricoh, or at least Coventry. But that looks years away, if ever.
There is a growing support for this idea. Just the thought of it will make SISU think again.
Someone said earlier that 3,000 fans supporting a reclaimed CCFC would be a firm foundation. Just for starters. I'm convinced more and more would get on board as it gathered momentum.
Another aspect that is overlooked by the regular snipers, is the grim reality that players will leave happily, Cyrus, Callum, John Fleck, Blair, Connor, Franck Moussa & co. They won't want to play in front of 1500 people for long. Sixfields isn't sustainable.
Let's drive Sisu out with a strategy, a plan. Doing nothing is not an option.
"interim", fat fingers G?
You are very rarely right about anything mate.
No, we should form our own breakaway club. Sphinx is its own club with its own identity.
The reason I suggested sphinx as a potential club is that they are quite a few seasons ahead and would give the project some momentum rather than starting from scratch. As for Grendel pointing the figure at fans for not doing more rather than just talking on the internet, what does he expect the average fan like me to do, haven't got the time / money but there are those who have.
Are you going to start the process or sit on your lazy arse with Spoinkop and expect someone to do the work for you?

Well that's where you're wrong - i am doing something about it.
Also, lazy arse? I'm the one who has gone and protested on the hill etc while you sit behind you're keyboard mocking City supporters.
