    Issues Could Be Solved...

    Well CBRE are supposed to be helping so you'd think they'd have spotted the infrastructure fly in the ointment. Assuming that's actually the site that is under consideration.

    So we need a striker.....?

    I thought that he used us as the way back into football after getting out and then once he was back in went for better deals elsewhere.

    Keith O'Neil

    Whilst I appreciate that his condition made playing for us almost impossible there was something else that made me dislike him. When the club was facing a cash crisis they asked the players to please defer their wages for a week or two. He was the PFA representative and told the others not to do...

    Highest transfer fees received

    I remember when we sold Kirkland that was a record for a goalkeeper at the time. I heard a rumour at the time that the bank took a large chunk of the money, and might even have been pushing for the sale. No idea if that's true it was just a rumour - sounded plausible though.

    Your stories of meeting players (that no one else is interested in hearing).

    We were on the forecourt and at the old petrol station on the London Road (now a car hypermarket) filling up after a match. When this car pulled in and out stepped Hadji and Chippo both extremely nice blokes and shook hands + signed the odd autograph. When staying at the Ricoh hotel I got...

    SISU Business Plan?

    I would ignore all the valuations being quoted in the media as we have no idea what criteria they were based on, what trading conditions or other financial were prevalent at the time. We don't know what the current amount owed to the council is, as we have no idea what if anything ACL have paid...

    SISU Business Plan?

    The thing I would like to know is who from the CCFC/Otium/Sisu is footing the bill for the JR. Is this going to be more debt loaded onto our club?

    Stadium Consultation Forum Report

    Bit worrying if the CBRE person didn't know where it was.:o

    Most inspired signing ever

    Was thinking of him too - never liked him as a player until he pulled on a Sky Blue shirt. Oggy goes without saying but Jarni would be up there too ;)

    Trust: 6 Local Authorities say no discussions. Rugby say no.

    Thanks for coming on here and explaining things. I think that there needs to be more pressure put on all sides as this 5 years is already seeming quite a short length of time.

    ACL are planning Ricoh 2 the bustards just to spite Tim and Joy.

    Does that Guardian journalist know about this development (pun not intended)?

    FAO: The Trust - Question about Q&A

    Thought that was why Tim was looking for Badger droppings - or is that just a hobby of his?

    Cov Vs Arsenal on the friday Night - 24 Jan

    Yeah I went to that, fan-tastic evening. Took a half day off to get up there and the next day to recover/ get home. Does anyone know of anywhere that has a list of places that have BTSport in London?

    Questions and 'Answers'

    Is that a revenue stream or just a one off addition to the balance sheet? Also it doesn't benefit our club just the property company holding the Arena.

    Nice? I might die from the shock!

    Questions and 'Answers'

    They can have all the revenues from the Ricoh by just buying ACL and negotiating not demanding a longer lease. Owning the freehold doesn't give any additional revenue does it.

    POLL: Would you attend a new stadium that was close to, but not in, Coventry.

    For me (and I can't see the poll on my phone) the location will need to be roughly the same cost to get to as the Ricoh. The taxi fare to the Ricoh was a little over £10, but the Arena Tesco is also on bus routes. So if it's reachable by bus that's as good for me - although obviously it's only a...

    Still no negotiations over a ricoh return!

    Okay as I said only if they wanted to and if as you say they wouldn't want to then fine. It's just a shame that the Ricoh pitch isn't being used whilst we're not there.
