Christ this is what it's come down to. Post codes. I'm not supporting the team if they play in CV8. No way, Jose!
These are the coventry city council boundaries
http://www.coventry.gov.uk/info/100003/in_my_area/1472/boundary_maps/4
The Ricoh is in Coventry but barely. The boundary line is walking distance
does make you think about 'I'm not going if we move out of Coventry' would a 2 min walk from the Ricoh really make that much difference???!!!
SISU position is now incredibly weak and getting weaker by the hour.They would have had next to no income since last month,and in a few days time they will have to find another circa £500,000 just to pay the players and the staff.From here on it will just get worse,as they very shortly have to tell everybody what ground they intend to use next year.They will have to provide guarantees to the league about their ability to fund the club next year,to pay the rent for the ground,and provide a credible plan for building and financing a new ground.
Even supporters who are SISU neutral or just want to carrying on supporting CCFC regardless of who owns the club,would be taking an risk in handing money over to an organisation,which is haemorrhaging money at an alarming rate.It is hard to see the club selling virtually any season tickets,it is not as though fans won't be able to get a ticket on matchdays.Can anybody see SISU stomaching losses,which are only likely to get even bigger for at least 3 more years? The end game is fast approaching.
But if it is that close there are infra structure implications that the council do not have to support
Think it will be south side of Coventry myself if at all
I think we'd all prefer to lock everyone in a room until they come to an agreement and my gut feeling is that we will be at the Ricoh next season but I think ACL need to make the next move with regard to negotiation.
Seems to me there is a total breakdown there and little chance of moving forward without a change in personnel on one, if not both, sides. Was hoping the change in council leader would bring this about but immediately placing Mutton in charge makes that seem unlikely. Recent statements from ACL have stated that they will not speak to Fisher or SISU, bit hard to negotiateif the other side won't talk to you!
My understanding is that an agreement separateto the lease was made for the last 3 games of the season. If I was ACL I would release a statement saying whilst the club remains in administration they are happy to continue on the same terms as for those 3 games with whoever the football league deems to be running the football club. It's a win win to me. Puts the ball back firmly in SISUs court, no way they can then say they are locked out and makes ACL look the more reasonableof the two sides. Also puts some pressure on the football league to make a statement over who is actually in charge.
Could well find that we have the lowest gates in League One and this will make us the poor cousins. This is surely then going to result in a relegation dogfight and the distinct possibility of us dropping down to bottom tier.
has anyone else spotted that this is an implicit admission by TF .............
If they were putting forward the plan for a new stadium in December then they had no intention of agreeing a rental that would keep the club at the Ricoh. The discussions that took place in January 2013 were at best based on two different premises ....... a short term deal for SISU and a long term deal offered by ACL to CCFC. At worst the discussions to lower the rent and gain access other income streams were simply not entered in to in good faith because TF & co were always going to leave - any offer or heads of terms were never going to be good enough.
anyone starting to see a thread to this or a plan mixed in with all the PR?
If these scum steal our club and play home games outside of Coventry we should completely change this around and class away games as our homes games with nobody attending their ridiculous planned "home" matches.
It's either an admission or it's black and white proof that he's a liar. His choice!
SISU still share revenue from Away games
