The cost of building a new ground, from planning right through to construction, would likely cost a lot more than £30m. It's lunacy but then again I thought the same went for the rest of Fisher's crackpot ideas.
Rent reduced to £400k.
Paying £400k a year to play at the Ricoh, or £30m to build a new one. It would take 75 years for the club to see the benefit of that.
Are you insane?
Time for fans to get nasty and i'm serious.
You keep saying that like it's a good deal. For a 3rd division club, it is still crippling.
You have always wanted the lock out. Now this is happening. Why do you think the FA support the club and not the council and why are you bothered? You have what you wanted.
If Sisu paid up, there would be absolutely no reason for ACL to sit down with them and discuss anything at all. Money paid, piss off.
This has been taken far to far, but 'just paying up' doesn't work as a bargaining tool.
Is it though? He's been a strong advocate of this, yet, when SISU leave the RICOH as opposed to getting 'locked out' by ACL, they are 'unbelievable', it's hypocrisy in its highest form!
This could be a good thing.
Look the council can let the club play at the Ricoh still. Ipswich and Hull both have made similar gestures and ended up playing for free.
Up to the council.
There are no other buyers for the club so its do that or bye bye.

How long do you think SISU can afford to run the club with gates of 5k to try and prove their point?

we've only got 3 home games left haven't we? Can't imagine, should we play them elsewhere, the attendance will drop off a cliff. The novelty factor will probably draw a few in.

Exactly. Ex-fucking-actly

Just told my wife and she thinks it's hilarious that I am sad about it and is laughing because it is 'so very, very trivial.' Her and her friend here think it is laughable. It's only football.

Are Coventry city going to refund us our ticket money? Firstly the date is changed, now we don't even know where it will be played after getting 2 lots of tickets to travel. 1st lot for the original date 2nd lot for the day earlier, I'm not paying out for a 3rd lot of tickets for travelling wherever it might be.
Perhaps clubs up and down the country will be following our example. Total fecking nonsense.
No, it could pay if off in one year when they get promoted the premiership from improving the squad due to having all revenue streams. The council have already said they would never sell their 50% share of the Ricoh so we can never own it. Whats the point being in it filling the bellies of ACL.
Did you expect SISU to do this? They have our interests at heart dont they? You continue the line of no buyers and always without fail put a negative slant on any situation. Isn't it about time you started supporting the city.
Or perahaps your next post will be something like:
I think he was only referring to the last 3 games. Clearly, a full season away from Coventry and crowds would plummet.
If they really wanted to they could make it work they have sufficient funds.
We are locked out CJ! Party time!!
You seem a bit underwhelmed mate but you always wanted a lock out didn't you?

That's part of the crap deal that was in place. We have to accept that. I don't like it either, but that's where it is. SISU should of paid they're bills, then sat down with them and spoke to them. We are where we are now because SISU spat they're dummy out.
I have to ask, what muppet at this club agreed to this deal in the first place?!
I support the football club and if others did like they did at Hull, Ipswich, Doncaster etc. instead of bleating and defending a landlord this would never have happened.
The Ricoh arrangement was always unworkable, council now have a choice let the club play or lock us out.
The money is patently there and the offer on the table gives the club everything it asked for. It is being rejected because the club refuses to pay the arrears it racked up by breaking a legally binding agreement which they have been ducking out of for a year. It's a complete travesty.

I don't understand why SISU are still fighting....why havent they just given up....they can't leave the Ricoh, it's just impractical...I am embarrased for the club and look forward to them going back to the negotiating table with their tails between their legs.
Surely you never expected this.
Hopefully there will be an appear where the FL/FA will refuse us permission to move mid-season. Hoepfully ACL do lock us out and press home the winding up order. Hopefully the judge will reject SISU's defence in court tomorrow. That would shoot SISU up the arse good and proper.
Exactly. Ex-fecking-actly
If you cannot see the difference you are not open to reason.
One is pursuing a debt legally, after negotiating endlessly and waiting for payment. The other is leaving to avoid a legal debt. Simple, right and wrong, and no hypocrisy at all.
They would not be able to refuse planning permission out of spite, as much as they would like to. Cretins.
