Fucking idiots that owned them and thought it was a good idea to move to the Ricoh Arena therefore stripping any income available are the ones that should be answering questions

The whole thing is a farce really-moved almost 40 miles from their home town, whilst there's now a PL standard stadium lying empty in Coventry! Wonder if the knobhead police at Highfield Rd back in the day(who I once saw confiscate an orange of an old woman as it "could be used as an offensive weapon" and equally power crazed stewards have followed them to Sixfields??

a real shame with whats going on at coventry, been there a couple of times in th 70s, at the end of the day its someone's club just like city is to us, it so easily could have been us who took the wrong road to finanial ruin, always have said the premiere league will be the only profesional league in a few years with the 2nd tier semi pro

Disagree. Second tier will be professional for the foreseeable , but the lower two divisions could very well go part-time, which wouldn't be the end of the world imo.marco said:

The twunts that own them are trying to bankrupt the people(including the local council) that own the stadium by playing in northampton so they can get the ground for peanuts. The fans have therefor boycotted the home games (selling just over 200 season tickets) and are instead encouraging everybody to do away games instead. If that was city somebody would of payed a visit to one of their elderly relatives in a nursing home by now

Yes, and the company that own the ground are keeping the rent at an artificially high price in order to drive the club out of business so that they can strip everything of worth from the club when the administrators call a firesale, and thereby enrich their own bank accounts. Tit for tat.

Yeah that seems right everyone has a share of the blame, I think that SISU (or the bastard form that is in charge now), the council (who own half of the ground), Rioch arenas inc (who own the other half), the administrator (for saying bastard SISU was the best bid for the club) and the football league, all should be dragged over the coals for this. Shocking state of affairs. We were heading a similar way ie adminstration with no assets other than a load of shabby footballers, and it seems a common theme amongst clubs who sell their ground and rent another or even their own. Us, Cov and County the ones the spring to mind.
The sooner the club is put in the hands of the fans a la Portsmouth the better.

It needs to be said that it's quite possibly the most dispiriting night out in the Midlands, apart from Stoke.
