    Would New Ground End NOPM?

    Just curious, if ground at Brandon was confirmed would people stop NOPM? How many would think it was time to start a new club if ground was outside City boundaries?

    Ricoh Freehold

    Without wanting to go over old ground just wanted to offer an opinion on why Sisu may want the freehold of the Ricoh. Maybe they want to split the land up from the Ricoh and either sell plots individually or develop and rent out units on the land which would allow them to sell the club with...

    Aaron Phillips

    Seen as there are a few player related threads for a (refreshing) change I thought I would start another. I thought Phillips was excellent when he came on yesterday and made a couple of excellent tackles in difficult positions. Looks twice the player we first saw a couple of years ago.

    Money from NOPM

    What is happening with all the money people are saving by observing the NOPM campaign? I would have thought the trust could organise a fund that people could donate what they would have spent on football that could be put towards trying to purchase the club. People crow on about getting rid of...

    Where are ACL?

    ACL have been very quiet the last couple of months. Why are they not showing publicly that they are bothered about getting CCFC back? They could at least be in the press saying publicly they are still willing to talk, or better still, making a public offer to CCFC. All I ever see are sarcastic...

    Deadline Day

    Can't wait until tomorrow is over. Hopefully we will still have a full complement of players. Hope that Wilson stays more than anyone, what a start the lad has had this year, would be a shame if he was sold. Probably better for his career to stay too, no good going and warming the bench...

    Breakaway/Phoenix This Year?

    There are a few that voice their opinion quite strongly on setting up a breakaway club or not. It's difficult to judge from comments what the wider consensus is as the usual characters just shout louder and it breaks down into an argument (I'm as guilty as any of this). It's a simple question...

    Just a Thought on the Administrator

    Just seen Hearts supporters group 'Foundation of Hearts' have been awarded preferred bidder status. Not sure if they were the highest bidder but looking back to Portsmouth, when their trust was chosen it was because it was best for the long term future of the club, not because they were highest...

    Start a New Club

    I know this is not popular with everyone but after Fishers comments Today seemingly confirming we will never play within the city of Coventry again (near Coventry is not good enough for me, if I wanted near Coventry I would support Nuneaton), the time has come to start again. It breaks my...

    Austria Salzburg Story

    Was just reading the article on the below link and it struck a chord. Although circumstances were slightly different Salzburg had similar struggles with owners who didn't listen to fans and carried on with their own plans regardless...

    In 48 Hours.....

    In 48 hours time CCFC will have completed their first game at Sixfields. There are a lot who have said that the club would be dead to them the second we kick off in Northampton, with this now being a certainty how many still feel this way? I personally feel a massive disconnect with the club...

    Question for the Trust

    If "the club" were liquidated who owns the rights to the name, badge, etc. Did I read somewhere that the Trust had acquired this? If so, seen as the football league recognise Ltd. as the club, if Ltd. is liquidated can the Trust take up those rights and bring the club back to Coventry (even...

    Most ironic statement ever??

    Part of a statement from CCFC on the request for talks with Joy Seppalla by Ann Lucas: "However, we are encouraged that Ann herself is now willing to get personally involved. Rather than grandstanding through the media, we have held private meetings with the current council leadership at...

    Media Coverage of Protest

    What's with the lack of media coverage in the national press of the protests. 7000 people bringing parts of the city to a stand still yet nothing in the national media. Why? We're they not told or are they just not bothered? Just worried this fantastic show of support will be lost without the...

    Breakaway/Phoenix Club

    There has been much talk of a breakaway/phoenix club being set up now that we have been moved to Northampton (i.e - https://www.facebook.com/Coventry1883). Simple question, in the current situation, do you support the creation of such a club?

    Would you support a breakaway/phoenix club?

    There has been a lot of talk in many threads on this, so, would you support a phoenix or breakaway club in Coventry that was owned by the fans and gave everyone an equal vote in what happened at the club? This club would play in Sky Blue, have a name linked to CCFC and play in Coventry.

    A Warning from Wales

    http://supportersnotcustomers.com/2013/05/24/the-welsh-wimbledon-barry-town-unites/? The story of Barry Town. Although their ex-owner seems to be a whole new level of crazy, some of the similarities to our situation are striking.

    Alexander Stadium

    Wonder if Alexander Stadium in Birmingham has been considered by SISU. 12,700 seating capacity. Right on the Motorway. Closer than Walsall & Rushden. Wouldnt have another club to worry about in terms of home game scheduling. Only issue is it has a running track (other than being outside...

    Premier League Managers

    Brendan Rogers is unbelievably now the 5th longest serving manager in the Premier League at just under a year. Shocking. Alan Pardew is second believe it or not.
