why would they pay it if they're trying to negotiate a better fee? makes sense to me
If you wanted to get better rent terms on a flat, you wouldn't achieve it by withholding it-the landlord would chuck you out unless he was being extremely generous or stupid.
id rather play at the butts arena. Use the 100k a month rent to build two sizeable stands and use there.
much better atmosphere then the ricoh
better location to !!!!
Not the same.... The landlord knows he just gets another tenant. If CCFC move out the stadium no one else will move in. SISU know this and I guess have requested a reduction on the rent so they can break even in Division 1. ACL have said no and therefore SISU have to raise the stakes. I would say that SISU need to pay up to when last season finishes and the new rate applies for next season.

but in time the stadium part of the arena would be replaced with something else-they would find a way.
Weekly Jehovah Witness conventions maybe?
John Mutton is a Coventry City fan since a kid, so why would he see us homeless?
Ah ... but the Council would need to give permission!
Because right now they are in breach of contract which means they have no ground which means they have no business and technically the club could be seen as out of business .... it is only the goodwill of ACL that is allowing them to be there and that they continue
I'm still amazed at how some blame the council for all this!
In 2003 CCFC BEGGED the council to build them the Ricoh under the current deal (this was a very big risk the council was taking on and would have preferred not too).
In 2007 Sisu bought the club knowing full well what the rent was and at no point until now have they suggested it as being a problem. They should have been talking to the council about it from day 1 if it was.
This idea that some have come out with on here that we shouldn't pay during the summer because we don't play then. We pay £1.2m a year spread out over 12 months. I'm sure if we wanted to spread the £1.2m out over the 9 months of the football season ACL would be happy to oblige.
Sisu are showing themselves in their true colours, as financial terrorists. After not getting what they want through legal and peaceful means they are now using force and bully boy tactics.
Anyone who thinks Sisu are correct in doing this loses all right to ever criticise the council for lack of spending on roads, schools, elderly care etc, as you have legitimised the council giving public money to a hedge fund.
Christ, you're all so blinded with hate for SISU it seems that you almost want the club to go down the tubes. Amazing!
like when you purchase your car on finance , cant 2 years down the line decide its too expensive
better location to !!!!
Your support of SISU - both past, and now present - is really becoming an embarrassement, mate. I suggest that you think before you post such drivel - or don't post at all.:facepalm:
What will it take for you to realise that SISU are raping the club...and now the city????!!! Do you live in Cov? No. So how can you speak for the Cov taxpayer???? :thinking about:
