    who is going sixfields for the crewe game !!

    Yes thanks at Highfield Road where Dad was a Vice President and the ricoh, saw Elton John and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers who were both excellent (except Elton didn't do a rendition of Goodbye Highfield Road - missed a trick there mate). Went to Wembley for both the Cup Final and the Charity...

    My copy is now listed as missing in action :( Think my mum still has her copy safe so that's a couple of hours over Christmas sorted. Also on my ebay wish list.

    Even if I could have the day off to go to the match I'm not going to a home game outside of Coventry.

    Urgent efforts are now underway elsewhere to locate this DVD. The panic was evident down the phone when I mentioned they still had it.

    If there was a deal to be done why didn't they do it? Why are we homeless in self imposed exile in Northampton? Why didn't they start negotiations with the Higgs (who must really regret helping us out) earlier? What does our football club need from the freehold that owning ACL wouldn't give us?

    There was a deal to be done, especially before the rent boycott was started when trust broke down. I think I'm right in saying they only started negotiations after that, agreed HOT with the charity and then according to PWKH walked away and didn't reimburse the Higgs their legal costs despite...

    Don't forget that you can't normally use maximum capacity of a stadium in your calculations because of the need for segregation between fans.

    Ltd were offered lower rents as I understand it and as they had (or were the last holders of) the Golden Share, that made them the Club according to what I understand the rules to be. Sisu were claiming Holdings were the club at this point. Then we get into the workings of the ears of Mr...

    I'm all for a new ground if necessary, Joy says it's plan A we've moved on (and then attacks the council again), but we've seen or heard nothing from anyone about it except that Tim has been looking for Badger Droppings.

    We weren't paying the rent, that was the start of the original NOPM directed at ACL. It started off about the rent being the major issue and then became other things on top of that, that they needed from ACL when lower rents were offered. Talk about moving the goalposts and I don't mean to...

    I have said before that the rent was too high, has anyone on here actually said it wasn't? Regarding other offers, are we back to Mr Labovitch and the infamous I can't hear you I'm not an Otium person today situation?

    Yes exactly, people are staying away part of this is because there is an increased costs (both financially and travel time) of getting to 'home' matches and part to do with the fact that our club, Coventry City aren't playing these games in Coventry. Taking 7k to an away game is an excellent...

    Still can't understand why they didn't just buy the Higgs share and get access to ACL that way. Could have had access to the accounts, a third of the seats on the board etc.

    Reduced gates at 'home' can certainly be attributed to Sisu as they moved us to Northampton and we shouldn't be playing our home games there. Are there reduced gates at away matches?
