Funny thing is that the fans arranged a Coventry legends 11 game to k.o at the same time at the Ricoh!. I believe there is 10000 plus there to watch it. They have got another arranged for the following home game too. FairPlay to them.

I'm guessing they don't want the current owners in, so what better way of protesting against them? Good on 'em as (again I'm guessing) the money raised will go to a fund to attempt buy the club from the current incumbents. |

To be fair to the fans, the charity game was pre-arranged for the Sunday at the Ricoh in the belief that the real team would have already played their game at the Ricoh yesterday.
10,000 fans attended the Ricoh charity match as a protest against the move to Northampton, and only a handful made the trip (once you subtract corporates and non-attending season ticket holders etc.). Fair play to them, I hope SISU flounder and lose money.

Btw the players still need support, it's a tough one but surely you'd get behind the players in these circumstances

I understand them being pissed off at moving to six fields but it is only for 3 years. The owners want to build their own stadium in or around Coventry. Surly that can only be good for the club in the long term?

Starving them is one way, it's what the Vale did to get the other lot out and fair play to them. |

Surly that can only be good for the club in the long term? The best thing for the club,the city and the stadium owners (I believe the council own part of the stadium don't they ? ) is to sort out their differences,agree to a fair split of the the income/rent and get back to playing in front of 12,000 + crowds at the stadium that's already been built for them 'in or around Coventry' The clubs owners are getting no income at the moment,how long do you think they can last like that ? |

This isn't your usual 'plucky club owners' versus 'evil landlords' dispute, there's much more to it than that. If it was really about rent then the club owners would have accepted the landlord's offer of £150k rent per season (i.e. one tenth of their original rent). Meanwhile how are club already £70M in debt going to fund building a new stadium? And indeed how are they going to get planning permission from the very same council they've just ripped off by shafting the Ricoh by non-payment of rent?
Much murkier things are going on in Coventry to do with hedge funds and the way they plunder companies with distressed debt to secure assets by outfoxing their opponents in court with an expert legal team. Sharks like SISU have no place in football, they care nothing for fans or history, just seeing ownership as a way of hoovering up other company assets on the cheap.

Stafford...At times your complete and utter ignorance is bewildering.
"it's only for 3 years...". The club have been bought back by the very same people that have seemingly been hellbent on running their club into the ground. How the FA have allowed this to happen under their "fit and proper" guidelines is bad enough in itself but surely to god, any self respecting football fan would feel for any Coventry fan right now.
One of the blokes they interviewed on SSN was practically in tears. Granted he looked something of a fruitbat but even so, you could see just how much his club meant to him. Watching an old Coventry team at their home stadium whilst HIS team played 70 miles away was clearly upsetting the bloke but he felt it was the right thing to do.
Fair play to all Coventry fans who are protesting and doing all they can to wrestle control of their club from owners who couldn't give a flying fuck about Coventry City.
