Coventry Fan in Peace...

[Skyblueweeman]

Good afternoon gents (and any ladies on board),

Apologies for crashing your forum but we're after the support of fans up and down the country. You might be aware of or situation...owned by SISU (or whatever they call themselves this week), we're currently playing 'home' games 34 miles from the Ricoh. The owners of the Ricoh (a set up called ACL - owned half by a charity and half by Coventry City Council) have said they'll let us play there rent free for 3 years whilst we build a new stadium. Our owners, for reasons unbeknown to anyone sensible, have said no to this. Plans to build a new stadium were due to be with us but as yet, nothing. The owners say they're in active discussions with 2 boroughs about land for a new stadium. Fans have contacted all local boroughs and none say there's any discussions going on. And there's no guarantee that any new stadium will be built in Coventry. All a bit of a mess and unfortunately, the fans suffer.

Cov fans are boycotting home games this seas

Signed. Best of luck sorting this out.

It's ridiculous that they're looking to build a new stadium when you have a perfectly good one already there! If no-one wants it, can it be packed and shipped to Fratton?? Ours is a bit tatty... :D

[Corkhead]

That's the point Enfield. They want to escape the clutches of the Council who have been fleecing them for rent. At least we own our sh1theap (I think). :D

[pompeyx]

Signed, and wish you all the luck possible,

[EnfieldBlue]

That's the point Enfield. They want to escape the clutches of the Council who have been fleecing them for rent. At least we own our sh1theap (I think). :D

Yeah I know Corky - that's the dangers of signing away ownership of your stadium. And at least our council have been more supportive recently (at last). I really hope Coventry sort it out for the fans. They couldn't have chosen a much worse stadium to play at this year!

[Mangosmate]

Done. Good luck to the sky blues in this latest injustice on their fans.

While not wishing to appear unsympathetic, is this the same Coventry, whose fans waved £10 notes at us when we played at the Ricoh when we were having our financial troubles a couple of years ago? :?

Lovely to see their fans standing outside Sixfields on 'Jimmy's Hill' XD

[peterstoriesastar]

Signed. BTW, Coventry is a great place and has bad press. Behind the dated 60s shopping centre there is another side. Tudor houses and Spon Street are a great reason to visit.

Best of luck mate.
