    Questions

    Marketing Like it or not CCFC must now compete with a premiership rugby team for income. What is the marketing strategy that will compete effectively in particular for corporate sponsorship, advertising, events and hospitality. What will make a third division football club the preferred choice...

    Questions

    I have listed some of the questions I would like answered by the club. Yes I know a number of them are probably asking too much or will be dodged. Yes I know that they do not have to answer me or the Trust or the fans representatives. Yes I know some are simplistic but I would like CCFC/SISU's...

    Trust Letter

    only thing i would say is that the comment is likely to be based on the recent surveys that the trust did so in that sense have an element of legitimacy. The letter like you say is hardly confrontational and not unexpected questions or questions that most of us are not asking

    Ricoh Open Day ... This is how to do it.

    interesting to compare some of those answers or lack of to what actually happened or was disclosed later:thinking about:

    Trust Letter

    One thing that is important is that we as fans in general remain focussed on what is actually important to us - the well being of CCFC You only have to look at this forum to see the focus has changed to some degree to feature Wasps and that has to change surely. Don't we want to know about our...

    I think we've got the nucleus of a very good team

    I seriously want SP to succeed and for CCFC to being playing attractively winning football but I really do not buy in to much of what he has said of late. The article makes it seem that such preparation is unusual - well why would that be because this is work that should be done every transfer...

    I think we've got the nucleus of a very good team

    Coventry City manager Steven Pressley has confirmed him and his staff are already preparing for movement in the January transfer window. The Sky Blues face a trip to Ashton Gate tomorrow for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Southern Section Area Semi-Final against League One leaders Bristol City...

    Player of the Year

    I think it says much about the quality and performance of the present squad that 4 of the nominees have left the club and the 5th is a youngster who has played a handful of games. My choice was Callum Wilson...... he had the greatest impact, provided some positive enjoyable moments, was...

    Exit stratergy

    In L1 in 2012/13 the value of a ticket per person attending was 8.95 on average to the clubs turnover. To get a 1m extra turnover from match receipts requires an increase of nearer 4700. That is based on 2012/13 prices not the scrambling around deals we have seen this season. Also build in to...

    I think the first decision CCFC/SISU have to make is do they want to be at the Ricoh. From the publicised comments it would seem not. That could be because they (a) have clear plans for a new stadium (b) that they are using their reluctance to stay as leverage for a better low value lease deal...

    "The preferred site for the new stadium was revealed..."

    Ok I know it is all conjecture but could someone please explain to me how by simply owning our own stadium means that there is a significant change to turnover and profitability for CCFC that will guarantee success? Look at these figures from Bristol City 2013 group accounts - they own their...

    Ricoh Open Day ... This is how to do it.

    I keep seeing mentioned that the set up at the Ricoh means that ACL/IEC get 77% of the turnover and Compass get the rest (23%). This is simply incorrect and wrong. IEC get 100% of the turnover from operating the stadium exhibitions, events, conferences, hospitality & F&B's etc. In the 2013...

    Has the penny dropped yet?

    No the charity never owned the lease or part of it. The lease is an asset of the company it is not directly attached to the shareholders ACL owned the original lease which was granted. The Charity did not. The charity owned the 50% shares in ACL, which were represented by the combined value of...

    "The preferred site for the new stadium was revealed..."

    Apparently all the names addresses and etc were redacted out of the documents that Ward & Strange saw. So they do not know the location. Ward totally contradicted Strange's statement as to location even when it was read to him. Ward was quite adamant he was at the meeting with Fisher, Waggott...

    "The preferred site for the new stadium was revealed..."

    apparently not You would also think that the SCG would have agreed a terms of reference before the meeting for their representative and it be clear before the meeting what could and couldn't be talked about openly. By doing what they have done has basically weakened the argument and purpose of...

    "The preferred site for the new stadium was revealed..."

    "The preferred site for the new stadium was revealed..."

    So bottom line is after 2 years they still have not got any where, and because of that can not actually detail a viable way forward. :facepalm:

    "The preferred site for the new stadium was revealed..."

    I would think messrs Ward and Strange will not have told anyone where the site preferred is, including the SCG who they are supposed to be reporting to. "we know but we cant/wont tell you". Why discuss it at all if the representatives can not report back or provide any substance to it. Still...
