    Brentford Match Thread

    Agreed, although to be fair I don't think any of them ever were or have been. Coventry home games however..........;)

    New ground

    I thought the plan was to sell off the surrounding land for development and pay for the majority of stadium that way, a bit like the Ricoh and Tesco.

    I have just sent this to Joy Seppala

    Unless a picture is published we may never know!

    New ground

    Even if the club doesn't own the ground we move to (which is obviously not impossible) the rent has to be set at a sustainable level and include revenues. It's not impossible that if SISU do decide to sell up to someone else before any new ground is built, that we could be back at the RICOH on a...

    Brentford Match Thread

    A 3-1 with Wilson, Moussa & Clarke all netting would be nice as that would put them in the top three - not forgetting boosting our position in the table to possibly 16th. PUSB

    sheffield united match

    Sky will send a camera to the hill or at the very least show a fair few cutaways of the fans up there in the pre match build up. They like things to break up the talking heads in the studio and what could be better than a fans protest to do just that. More on the hill than inside Sixfields would...

    So overall the JS statement positive or negative

    Ah sorry thought you meant he had worked for both at the same time, like Sir Higgs was on the board of both.

    CWR - Mark Labovitch this morning.

    Sad but true - right going home to bed.

    So overall the JS statement positive or negative

    Paul Fletcher joined CCFC in Jan 2006 http://www.bbc.co.uk/coventry/content/articles/2007/10/05/fletcher_resigns_feature.shtml Think it was Jan 4, 2006. He was still in charge of the Ricoh as of October 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/coventry_warwickshire/4308202.stm Can't find...

    So overall the JS statement positive or negative

    Dunno actually, was he still working for ACL whilst working for the club? I thought there might be some info on his LinkedIn page but it just says he's at Burnley and has a thumbs up from Ken Sharp. I'm currently doing a Google search but I have to go home and go to bed soon as I have to get up...

    So overall the JS statement positive or negative

    Yeah I did read that but I don't know whether that is a direct quote from her in the interview or a statement from the companies mentioned. I was only looking at what Les has directly quoted from what Joy said, which is obviously from someone we know 100% was in that meeting on the 25th with...

    Pretty Confirmed Now

    I thought the only HOT that SISU had signed that had been confirmed by the other side was with the Higgs and SISU/CCFC walked away. That's the only one I know of that anyone apart from SISU/CCFC has confirmed existed, I've never seen the distress ACL/YB/Mortgage one confirmed by anyone other...

    So overall the JS statement positive or negative

    ACL claimed that in the Ownership meeting on the 25th July.... http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/34951-ACL-Statement?p=509700&viewfull=1#post509700 Then the club/SISU had their response in a statement issued on 05/08/13 on the ccfc.co.uk website...

    So overall the JS statement positive or negative

    Fairly negative for me as it confirmed that the club lied to me again, when they denied that JS had gone into the ownership meeting and demanded the Ricoh freehold without negotiation. Although it is nice to finally hear something from her, it is a bit late in the day to start talking...

    Im starting to change my mind

    His name was Yoda: he was a muppet. Darth Vader was so bad, and by the way, he’s Luke’s dad. Luke kissed his sister; his hand got cut off. In that galaxy far, far away, Luke has had a lousy day. Boba Fett was so mean; Jabba had bad hygiene. Why didn’t they all just relax back on Tattooine? At...

    He's a journalist they write things down and publish them, you might not agree with them but then you stop buying the paper they write for if you really don't like them.

    We'll Come Back To The Ricoh...

    Sorry that's an American phrase, it did win an award for being annoying http://www.forbes.com/special-report/2012/annoying-business-jargons-12.html (and it does have a somewhat nasty origin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown#Deaths_in_Jonestown which was not my intention to convey).

    We'll Come Back To The Ricoh...

    Okay so I just re-read the statement the club put out on the 5th of August this year where it was stated http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/club-statement-050813-971036.aspx Which sort of conflicts with the comments published today. :facepalm:

    Also interesting to see she said http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-fc-owner-joy-6096912 Which is similar to the comment made by Tim http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-chief-left-ricoh-3869400 Nothing wrong with that, just seems...
