1. Play at a shared ground like St Andrew's for 3 years whilst a new stadium is being built at Woodlands
2. Ground share for 12 months giving time for legal to be sorted and return to the Ricoh.
3. Play at the Butts permanently and have the Butts developed.
4. Cave into Wasps and the Council and drop the legals and stay at the Ricoh.

Voice_of_Reason · Apr 16, 2019

My personal preference is 1. I think the Ricoh is tarnished and negative as long as Wasps own it and play there.

HuckerbyDublinWhelan · Apr 16, 2019

1 - need our own ground long term. Taking over the Butts would be just like Wasps are doing to us. Leave the rugby club alone unless any development suits them and ourselves

Tommo72 · Apr 16, 2019

5. Play at The Butts until a new ground is developed? Surely that would be the best option?

Staying in Coventry is literally the most important thing for most....fans will put up with a temporary arrangement in the area, no doubts. Travelling outside of Cov will once again fragment the support and destroy the club.

3(assuming we get a good deal)>1>2 >4

Would playing at the butts while a new ground is built not be an option? I mean, I’m sure the new stadium thing isn’t really an option, but we’re dealing with theoreticals aren’t we?

1. Got to be. Butts not practical. New ground at Woodlands all year use training ground etc.

SkyBlueDom26 · Apr 16, 2019

Butts! Assuming it suits both parties

Well maybe there is a case being made for the boxes to be ticked and money spent to make it possible. If this a realistic option then the others just don’t come close.

HuckerbyDublinWhelan · Apr 16, 2019

Is it possible to erect temporary stands up to 15k at the butts? That would a good option.

clint van damme · Apr 16, 2019

Stay at the Ricoh.
Prior to eavh wasps game ambush and kill 10-15:wasps supporters nd kidnap one star player per month thus accelerating their downward spiral.
When they're on their knees take back to Ricoh. Execute joy and Tim and pave the way for a new consortium formed by an anti council militia to take over.

Depending on the final outcome of the legals, option 2 for me with a rather large caveat. If the legals find in SISU’s favour (yes it’s a huge if), then one potential result could be SISU owning half of the arena. IF this means that CCFC could tap in to revenue streams of the whole arena complex then we could start to build solid foundations from which to build. Plus it would look a lot better for potential suitors to buy the club, to have access to 365 day a year revenue streams with more than 30 events a year. Given Wasps performances this season (bar the weekend’s result) I can only see fewer fans buying tickets next season, thereby increasing the financial pressure on them.

I still worry with building our own stadium at just where revenue would come from outside of maybe 30 match days (allowing for cup runs).

1. Play at BPA until new stadium is built.

Liquid Gold · Apr 16, 2019

I would chose Butts option if it meant we owned it as it's the perfect site for a stadium but I wouldn't want the kick the team out.

I think whatever happens we need to end up with ownership.

clint van damme · Apr 16, 2019

In all seriousness, as much as I don't like it, I think the Ricoh is the best option and probably the only realistic option as far as staying in Cov is concerned

theferret · Apr 16, 2019

Surely it has to be a ground share at the Butts? What comes after that is anybody's guess, but I cannot understand people who would prefer us playing outside of the city in front of 3K (with all the grief amongst supporters that would cause) ahead of potentially playing in Coventry at the Butts in front of possibly 8-9K in temporary stands . The Butts is actually a better prospect than the Withdean was for Brighton, but they made it work for a while (I am certain they preferred that option than continuing to play in Gillingham).

Again, you're talking as though all CCFC has to do is say the word. I just don't see what CRFC get from this and therefore don't see why they'd want to do it.

6. A flying Stadium that lets us all get on a Hearsall Common then flies to Sunderland and hovers above The Stadium of Light so we can all shit off the edge. Drops us back off at the bottom of the Burges just after the final whistle so we can nip in the Diplomat before karaoke in Release.

Is that the morning Karaoke session?

Evening. But we can stay until the morning if you like.

Will have to make sure some skidmarks are left in the whitejeans after the Sunderland trip. Don't want to be the odd ones out in release.

One of the more realistic proposals.

Can't see why not. If we can put a man on the moon surely we can develop a hovering stadium.

could we not just put SISU on the moon, and then wait for developments?

GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee · Apr 16, 2019

If groundsharing at the Butts isn't an option than 1 has to be the most viable. IF (and as someone said we are talking theoretical here), they actually do build a ground, surely we would take three year's temporarily away, (which is the only option available to us), for a much more sustainable and prosperous future? It's not ideal but none of this is, surely that would offer a way out and we could fully support it? I fully understand the anxiety and scepticism behind a groundshare with no final outcome that could look to take the club away permanently or for an indefinite time period, but if it was with the caveat that a new ground would be built, and work had started, and we would be back within three years, not supporting the concept would be madness in my opinion.

I am of course assuming, if this is a serious proposal (big if), that there has been some prior discussion. I cannot see how CCFC could unilaterally declare that this is where they are going to play.

In theory, I think a joint venture has a lot going for it (for both parties), not least in that the long term development costs would be split. My suspicion is that this is a long way from being a fully fleshed-out proposal and just cannot be delivered in time for next season, even with temporary stands.

Have I missed something, Has this come from CCFC or is it speculation?
