I'm not a huge football fan, but it'd good to see Coventry going through a good patch (on the pitch anyway, things don't look too good regarding staying at the Ricoh Arena) http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21448158 |

The whole matter is a disgrace. No matter how you look at it, SISU owned CCFC reneged on the rent deal. That is not the way to do business. |

I know a couple of Cov. fans, and they're not happy. They can't even buy season tickets because nobody knowd where the team will be playing next season. |

I think SISU are behaving like spiteful spoiled kids. They are used to bullying and getting their own way. |

Looks like the club are looking to build a new stadium; it will probably only happen if the club's taken over: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22581748 |

How would they afford to rent? - They can't pay their way as it is. They think that the Council will cooperate with anything local? - Someone is in for a bit of a shock. They think that any plans won't be subject to extreme opposition by those living locally? -Would you want a stadium on your doorstep? They think that the fans will continue to support them whilst this happens? - A recent poll indicates a resounding NO. They think that fans will travel? - Face it, the Ricoh was too far for many after they left Highfield Road They're living in cloud cook-coo land. |

Form what I've been hearing from the Cov. fans I know, that isn't too far from the truth, and these people are fairly hardcore fans - ie turning up to pretty much every home game. They're talking about not going to any games at all next season due to the way they're being treated by the club. |

There doesn't seem to be any progress being made, and the fans are still very unhappy! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-22703822 |

Apparently, it's basically just been taken over by the same hedge fund that owned it. |
