    Coventry City FC hold stadium talks with Rugby Borough Council

    perhaps because technically CCFC have one year or so left on the temporary day rental agreement - the option for 2 more years has not yet been exercised. League rules require clubs to have a minimum 10 year agreement at some point that will need to be complied with. Do we know the details of the...

    Coventry City FC hold stadium talks with Rugby Borough Council

    Hopefully this link will work and give the details of the RBC boundaries http://mapit.mysociety.org/area/2459.html Not convinced there is anything on the CCC boundary that meets requirements without a lot of infra structure expenditure or is not classed as greenbelt or wouldn't bring strong...

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    Interesting and curious that the most of this thread about the SCG has been about what the Trust could do better or got wrong or have closed doors :thinking about: we become distracted from the real issues don't we ..... me included :facepalm: But I guess that's the point isn't it When was the...

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    Fair enough duffer all quite reasonable. But phones work both ways don't they. a long time prior to the change in stance based on the members survey the Trust were told all questions now have to be directed through the SCG. That is not a Trust decision but a club one You would think it was in...

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    I don't think we should necessarily focus on single words as such. The word "meaningful" is part of the Trust summary of where they think we are - there is no available evidence to say otherwise Even the summary provided to the Stadium group by Fisher listed 3 sites that were (a) very varied...

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    latest statement by the trust regarding the FOI's http://www.skybluetrust.co.uk/ seems the ball is in Mr Fisher's court

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    so the only point of contact (the SCG) the club will allow to the fans and it is all about what the Trust has done :thinking about: Clearly it is important that the SCG (Mr Ward in particular) and the Trust sort out their differences because thats crucial for the future viability & direction of...

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    Does that make them anti CCFC though Nick? The bare essentials of this is supporting the team on the pitch isn't it and as far as I can see the Trust , its Board and its members have always been 100% behind that

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    I also think it is pretty poor the chair of a fans group commenting about fellow group members in the press in an obviously negative manner. The minutes I take it were not word for word and are therefore incomplete, inaccurate and open to interpretation. Who has final say on content?

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    so let me get this straight Mr Ward told the Coventry Observer: "As chair of the SCG, whoever owns Coventry City Football Club, this is time for fans to rally behing the team and the football club and for giving undivided support. Unfortunately, there are too many who are too confrontational...

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    This bit I find curious TF reiterated no interest, dividends, nor management fees, taken out of the Club by owner-investor and Reiterating that Sisu had taken no funds out of the Club, TF asked JM why he had written, representing Sky Blue Trust, in a recent column in the Coventry Telegraph...

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    my understanding is that if there are commercial reasons for not giving the information then the authority has to say that - they do not have to give reasons or any confirmation of any meetings or not - but they can not simply ignore any part of the request

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    The following is just my opinion The SCG seems to be as pointless as ever. They never really challenge anything at the club or what TF tells them. The only time they challenge anything is to spend time berating the Sky Blue Trust. The group is not about the independent supporters Trust, it has...

    New Coventry City FC stadium plan seems 'crazy', says football finance expert

    I would guess matchday incomes at Ricoh this season would be in excess of 1.5m There is a connection between success, crowds and commercial obviously but you really would still have to question the clubs marketing strategy, performance and abilities. It has been a shambles far too often this...

    Too many games...

    Always seem to be looking for an excuse to hide behind it would seem. How many of our squad have played every game? How many players have we used, how many of the squad have played little first team football this season? Have we played more regularly or more games than other teams? Why with 8...

    New Coventry City FC stadium plan seems 'crazy', says football finance expert

    Think you need to be careful about the data compared for the year to 31/05/12 (2011/12)CCFC turnover for CCFC was split as follows Match receipts £3,550,702 Commercial income £7,275,282 CCFC Ltd nor CCFC H did not file accounts but SBS&L did and the info is in those figures for 2012/13 the...

    £61m of debt wiped out in latest CCFC accounts

    wont even be that oldfiver because the P&L account is currently at minus 76m. I think he probably meant makes a distributable profit. The rest of what he said still makes sense It would seem that the right to 15% accrues over the years irrespective until such time as distributable profits are...
