Sky Blue Trust Meeting Date: 6th June 2012 Venue: Squirrel, Coventry Attendence: Approx 50 Board Attendence: John Fletcher, Rachel Brown, Kev Kelly Apologies: Rachael King Introduction from JF, explained that due to constitution they could only co-opt 3 members onto board as the elected...

There probably is a good offer on the table but its from Cardiff or Bristol alongside a shit and patronising one from us.

The speed SISU are digging at we will be playing in the Hyundai A-League against Perth Glory etc

I think the bottom line in all the negotiations is that even if the Higgs Trusts price and conditions are met convincing the council that SISU are a company they can trust, do business with and also have the finance and intention to invest in the regeneration of that area is unlikely. The...

Mexico - I fully agree that a bunch of however well meaning fans running a professional football club is a recipe for further disaster but we can act as a vehicle to stave of annihilation and then put proper professionals in charge of actually running the club. We have no aspirations of running...

Portsmouth thread is going because they very much mirror what is and will be happening at Cov - admin/liquidation is becoming ever more likely for us and we can learn a lot from how their fans via the Pompey Trust are trying to rescue their club. They have had a string of foreign benefactors and...

This is no real surprise and one of the reasons we have reactivated the Trust because we can see the doomsday scenario coming and need to be in a position to try and rescue our club as the Portsmouth Trust is trying to do down their. I really believe there is no more important time than now to...

To be clear this is not a new Trust - more accurately its the old Trust with new blood in it therefore if you have life membership it will carry on. Once we have appointed someone to be membership secretary they will have the task of sorting out existing members and contacting lapsed members and...

Just a reminder that there is an open meeting of the new Sky Blue Trust Wednesday 7.30 upstairs at the Squirrel, Greyfriars Lane, Coventry CV1 2GY. This will be the first meeting of the new resurrected Trust with direction and aims to be firmed up, people to be appointed to the Trust board and...

All suggestions welcomed your Lordship - either here, or PM me, send them to [email protected] or come to the meeting on Wednesday at 7.30 at the Squirrel on Greyfiars Lane in Town

Shmmeee - thanks for the support, much appreciated especially in these worrying times but I would disagree about Mexico and LBB. There are no classes of fans, we are all fans of equal stature with sometimes differing views and if they choose not to get involved or not support our aims doesn't...

Neither is on the board of the Sky Blue Trust

The SBT website www.skybluetrust.co.uk has been restarted and hopefully is functional - there is a membership area there. The website should be be totally overhauled and made more interesting, interactive and be responsive and we have a Cov fan who has volunteered to host and design the site...

There seems to be some confusion about the transfer embargo and the non filing of accounts so I asked the Football League and got the following answers: When a club is under a transfer embargo it: a: CANNOT sign free agents as there are still wages and fees involved b: CAN extend existing...

If they extend the early bird until embargo is lifted we will be having it until Christmas - early turkey offer maybe?

Fully agree that we need to talk to both but before we can start engaging with the Council and Higgs Charity we have to legitimise ourselves as having some form of mandate to represent the fans and to do this we need the SBTrust up and running with a growing membership - bit chicken and egg I...

To be fair OSB I believe there was a variety of reasons for the SBTrust falling into disrepair - the tarnished reputation caused by certain (often incorrectly) maligned spokespersons, general lack of activity causing people to question its validity and point, general apathy among fans, lack of...

Many thanks to all who attended the meeting last night despite all the traffic problems and alternative attraction of Coldplay - attendance was around the 25 people. Might not sound a lot but considering past experience and the minimal publicity (thanks for nothing CWR) for the event we were...

Real pisser is Coldplay will be out of the Ricoh tomorrow SISU will still be around for god knows how long but it will be one day too long

NLHWC - I think every sane thinking Cov fan is anti SISU as they have made a complete balls up of running the club but what this is about is not anti-SISU protests etc, we are talking about dealing with the footbal club notwithstanding who the owners are, now or in the future. But assuming we a...
