That's an oxymoron if ever I saw one.
My point is, pack the sixfields & force club back to Ricoh & at least we are supporting the wonderful youngsters in our team!
Proof in the pudding will be end of season, if sisu walk or not cos of low gates at Sixfields.
CCFC belongs in Cov!
Forget this bloody political war between Sisu//Acl!
Why don't us fans of CCFC, pack out Sixfields from Sunday, therefore forcing club back to the Ricoh due to attendance overflow!
Stick with me.....
Support this wonderful young team, because they need it at this crucial time & return back to our community & fill the coffers of our club owners.....wait for it......
Who can then afford to buy the stadium & better players!
Easy isn't it!
Don't rely on foreign hedgefunds!
We the citizens of Coventry should be supporting our club!
Don't need a phoenix club, let's keep this 130 year old FA cup winning legacy going!

Well, going the opposite way hasn't achieved much has it!
Sisu still here & we are 30 odd miles away!
Open your minds......

I now what your saying but I really don't think we will ever play at the Ricoh. The council have tried their best to attack SISU and not give in to their demands (whether they were reasonable or not is irrelevant but it cost us 10 points). They wont sell the ground to SISU which would be the ideal scenario given the current situation but again not going to happen. SISU wont rent because it is dead money (fair point) so I think we could be out of Coventry for while. Personally I still wont go but I feel gutted I am missing my team.

Yes, they very probably have made a truck load of cash so far.
Not saying this is the case - forum police, reasonable people and SISU-friendly narks might be listening in - but just for a moment imagine this scenario:
You invest little or no money in players over a number of years, making silly claims about bringing on the youth and academy players as the excuse for doing so. You sell virtually anyone you can sell (and remember, we sold quite a lot of good players for good money), and if you cannot sell them, you let the higher earners "leave" on frees by deliberately mis-managing their contract renewals. You get half a million a year for nothing for the academy your predecessors built up. You have sponsorship, season tickets, merchandise, opposition fans etc. etc.
With each year that goes by, the cost of the squad and the cost of supporting a football club gets less and less, and when relegation inevitably happens, you have the success of another significant drop in outgoings because as you now play at a lower level you can again get rid of most of those expensive "championship-quality" players that got the club relegated and get in yet more dirt cheap and young Div 1 players and your costs are probably now around break even, especially as in cash terms you have been paying zero rent for a long, long time.
Every year, your non-footballing group companies charge the entity that is the football club earning all of these many, many millions of actual, real cash huge amounts of interest and management fees. This procedure creates huge sums of "created" intercompany debt in the footballing entity that is actually earning all the cash. All of the excess cash - year in and year out - is paid out in to the non-footballing group companies, but still leaving tens of millions of artificially created intercompany debt that will prevent anyone else buying your nice little cash cow should some nasty person try to put you into administration just because you did not pay them contractually agreed rent.
I am an accountant, and I tell you that what I describe is unfortunately legal and is done all the time in those countries that allow such intercompany management fees and interests to be charged. The UK allows this, most countries do not. Hence the offshore ownership and the UK base for performing these sorts of activities. While I am not saying that SISU would stoop to such abusive - though legal - tactics, if they had, and if they had been doing it from day one, then I would imagine that, YES, they have in fact made a truck load of cash so far.
The trouble with being reasonable is that sometimes you are so busy being reasonable that you don't see the obvious, and if you did actually finally see the obvious, you are so busy being reasonable that you refuse to accept it without an impossible level of evidence, and if someone then provided you with the demanded evidence, you would still find reasons to deny it.
This is my problem with you so-called reasonable people. For a vast majority of the fans, it is quite clear what is going on and who is to blame. For the very small minority of you that are so busy being reasonable that you will not see the woods for the trees, your wake up call will eventually come with the final destruction of our club as we know it by these SISU scum. I use the word "scum" deliberately as that is my personal opinion of what they are.
So if we pack it out, wouldn't Cov council consider getting club back pronto?
I can presume most of people on this forum are not Sky Blue Supporters.what?
SUPPORT THE TEAM - It is good and special team, and by not going it could be disbanded.
great post, well put mateI now what your saying but I really don't think we will ever play at the Ricoh.

@ covmark Give your head a wobble, if you've been sucked in by the "£70m in debt" shit. you're one gullible idiot then aren't you! In the six years of tenure it's been "We've lost £5m a year" (This from Fishers own mouth) Now 6x5 is £30m...that's if you believe SISU are telling the truth...which you obviously think is so. How come all of a sudden it turns into £70m???????(Claimed by Appleton) To be a good liar, you've got to have a very good memory..Something which Fisher deffinately hasn't got.
2 wins and some are thinking about watching COVENTRY CITY in Northampton
laughable...
These will be the same people supporting the newly named Warwickshire Bears
biggest crock of shit I've ever read on here, only thing that isn't surprising is it came from you valiantI reckon a lot of those that are going to sixfields probably aren't from the city of Coventry so really dp not understand the heartbreak off us coventrians losing our club. Infact i reckon the fans from outside of the city really wouldn't care if sisu moved us out of the city permanently.

Go to support the team at Shrewsbury, it is only 60 miles away not much further than northampton. Support the lads there, so you will not have to go to Northampton.
Well, going the opposite way hasn't achieved much has it!
Sisu still here & we are 30 odd miles away!
Open your minds......
Most of the SBT types are made up of those from outside of Cov. They're so desperate to be accepted.
but Sisu will just plod on!
They don't care if only 1 fan turns up to watch games!
We the people of Cov should see sense & help our club in this time of need!
Would the Council not quake at the though Sixfields is getting full houses?
Try another approach is all i'm saying!
