Of course I care about our own, but hel these might 15/16 year olds why not make it a time for them to remember, a lot of anger I understand, but we should pack it to prove a point.
what about the "kids" playing there hearts out at cov? I say fuck em. ACL are as much to blame as the Council and sisu the whole lot can frig off!!
Equally they need to make sure they're the "going concern" Lucas says they are, don't they?
LOL!
No mate, it proves that the cost of using the Ricoh is proportional to how it's being used. This lot will need the pitch only and there will be no security, no cleanup, no food and beverage.
The cost to open all stands and put on a Championship/L1 experience is obviously going to be waaaay higher than letting a youth team and a few dads in.
don't play on weekends so doesn't seem to affect any chance of us coming back.
Obviously yes, but it still needs people to let the dads in, people to look after the pitch, people to turn the flood lights on, will they use the underfloor heating to keep it nice for them, who is going to clean the changing rooms etc.
Until sisu lay the cornerstone for a new stadium - and as long the JR is unsettled - ACL will have to leave room for the club to come back.

PS: Bins not emptied again?
So last season our costs were half those in the championship. Are you saying the heating, lighting, floodlights, maintenance of all the surrounding site are proportionate to the number of attendees?
Ah well they charged the charity full whack but this lot and Leicester get it cheaper. Makes you proud.

Why ? ACL have their own business to run. Both CCFC and ACL seem to have moved on. Both quote's fromUntil sisu lay the cornerstone for a new stadium - and as long the JR is unsettled - ACL will have to leave room for the club to come back.
You really think ACL have stolen them ??Now ACL have decided to steal a team from Northamptonshire, FFS this is one big joke.

At least one team appreciates the fantastic facilities that our owners have discarded.
The Ricoh is lying empty.
Cut the political bullshit out, and let the kids play there.
By "obviously" do you mean "that's the only explanation that means I don't have to reconsider my views"?
Could be all sorts of things, fact is it costs more to open all stands and have a game for 10k people than it does for 100 or so.
I know you're just doing your "grrrr council thing" but so you know, this relates to Grendel laughing at anyone who suggests a phoenix club could play at the Ricoh. Because ACL would never do it for free and the costs would cripple anyone non-league. I'd say either way, this proves him wrong.
I want the kids to play there, but had it been a local Coventry, youth side then fantastic, but it's Northamptonshire team, so the question then asks how many of those kids will be able to make the 70 mile trip to play there?
It just gets better this:
FootballCV Reds is the club name of the FootballCV Academy, originally known as FCV Reds the Academy reverted to their current name in July 2009. The Reds originally played their home fixtures at Nene Park (former home of the FootballCV Academy) in Irthlingborough, Northamptonshire and held their first ever match on Wednesday 5th September 2007.
Now ACL have decided to steal a team from Northamptonshire, FFS this is one big joke.
The FootballCV Academy are delighted to announce an agreement with the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, that will see the Academy play 8 competitive matches at the 36,609 seater stadium during the 2014/15 season.
Having played host to number of sporting events over the years, the Ricoh Arena has welcomed the England U21's, Heineken Cup semi-finals and the Women's FA Cup Final. But nothing may come much bigger than the Olympic Games, with the stadium being selected as the Midlands venue for the London 2012 Olympic Football Tournament.
Featuring two fully equipped medical rooms, fully functional dressing rooms for the home and away teams and match day officials, Academy students will now have a golden opportunity to play a number of fixtures of this fantastic venue.
April 1st has arrived early, what a joke!
No it just proves the council and ACL are greedy scum. They said that the club when we syed there had to pay fixed overheads as ACL could not pay themselves. This proves that statement to be false - it proves what I have said all along - the council and its quango have only ever wanted the club when it was a cash cow that they could leach off.

As FootballCV Reds were clearly not 'stolen' as you put it, i can only assume that FootballCV Reds approached ACL, and actually WANT to play 35 miles away in such a fine stadium.I want the kids to play there, but had it been a local Coventry, youth side then fantastic, but it's Northamptonshire team, so the question then asks how many of those kids will be able to make the 70 mile trip to play there?

They train at St Georges park which is much closer to coventry than northampton and they currently play in corby which is slightly closer to northampton than the ricoh but not by much.
but seriously who cares, it doesn't affect us, presumably they are doing it because its best for them, its bizarre to sit here trying to find reasons when its bad for them when we don't know their situation at all and they presumably are doing whats best for themselves (I know our football club doesn't but everyone other one does)
it's not embarrassing or a joke, my niece learnt to ride a bike in the concert venue at the ricoh this week, that's not embarrassing, it doesn't mean the ricoh can't attract decent things.
They were prepared to offer it to us for whatever the actual cut price offer was given our potential gates if we came back. It might mean that they can offer it to sides with fewer supporters for next to nothing e.g. within their budget. Might be a bonus if you've booked a pitch view room as you'd at least get to watch some football. Not us but it is still football - this seems like a shot across the bows of the ship Sisu. At least someone is using the pitch - just a pity that it isn't us.How are they affording it? Not just opening the stands but the staff at the ground, groundsmen, under soil heating, flood lights etc. It would be interesting to see if the non attendance based fees are the same as what CCFC had to pay.
I don't think £3 subs each is going to cover the flood lights.

As it's empty, why not let them ?
After all, it's not CCFC's stadium any more - ask Tim and Joy.
Most clubs aspire to play in better stadiums, not worse.
It's much better than Steel Park (Corby Town FC's ground)
I guess no other teams from Coventry asked.
