    SISU say they may "get out of town" next week

    Nobody has said it is worth millions, and the club is not currently loss making if you take the rent out of the equation. The club is almost on an even keel and has roughly broken even this season up until recent events. Accessing those revenue streams would help, and at least make the club...

    Oh for a good home record !!!

    This is a good point. You only have to look at the amount of day trippers last week. Some clubs seem to approach it almost as a cup tie, especially on a Saturday when they tend to bring bigger away followings (big for those clubs anyway), and their players seem to raise their game accordingly...

    Yeah, I was in late teens so that sounds about right. Good day out that was.

    Pressley

    I have been to Falkirk a few times, but only to watch East Stirling :facepalm:(long story), but always made to feel welcome up there and had some good times. Went to watch you one year play a cup tie at Stranraer (you lost), but seem to remember a really good following from Falkirk that day and...

    Trouble at the game

    He was not referring to grammar and you know it. Whether or not it is grammatically correct is neither here nor there, the implication was that I was in some way trying use language that is synonymous with football hooligan culture hence the reference the Football Factory, when all I did was...

    Trouble at the game

    What? What on earth are you babbling on about? So if somebody asked you after an away game "how many Cov were there", you'd think he was making a reference to football hooligans? Cov = Coventry just in case you weren't aware of that fact. So I'll rephrase it for you: "I saw a group of about...

    Start all over

    What's the Burton game got to do with anything? That's a one off game which in the context of this season was not a big game, and tickets sales were from a standing start. There are 5-6K who would stay with this club regardless, plus you'll always have that big pool of casuals who would pick...

    Start all over

    I don't have the romantic view of life outside of the football league than some have, but let's get serious for a minute - if we reformed in the BSP, or even the league below, we would be the biggest club to EVER play at that level in the modern era, by a mile. The idea that a club with our fan...

    AFC Coventry

    There are no rules that I am aware of. As a new entity you can apply to join at whatever level you like, you could apply to join Legaue One again (but no way other clubs would accept that). I suspect an application would be made to the BSP, and it would go to a ballot amongst the clubs in that...

    Trouble at the game

    I saw about 20 Cov with their faces covered heading for the underpass shortly after full time. Someone I know who works in Next says there were big groups of City fans looking trouble and that there were a couple of big flare ups that she witnessed. You could sense it all afternoon yesterday...

    AFC Coventry

    OK, so it depends what value SISU were to put on that title, and if it was deemed worthwhile purchasing it, or opting for a new name altogether? You would hope the trademark would pass over without any fuss, so that regardless of the companmy name chosen, we could still refer to ourselves as...

    AFC Coventry

    Charles Green formed a new company, which had all assets transferred to it from a 3rd party company that had purchased those assets from the liquidated company, hence the new club was able to play at Ibrox. In terms of the name, The Rangers Football Club PLC simply became The Rangers Football...

    Players Paid from "Emergency Funds"

    Don't underestimate the performance of Swindon yesterday. Not seen a team press the ball so high up the pitch away from home in a long time. They were excellent as much as we were poor. Don't think the players were effected yesterday by off-the-field matters, but I am sure they must talk...

    If the away/home form was reversed

    If the break even is 11K, and we are averaging over 11K, then are you saying we are breaking even now? (Especially when you factor in the unexpected cup tie revenues this season). If we are then you have to applaud SISU for their recent financial management (that's if you believe 11K is break...

    AFC Coventry

    No idea, and the more I think about it, the more I think perhaps liquidation is now not the way forward. Ahead of voluntary liquidation the owners of a company would plan it carefully, divert money out of the business where they can, sell assets etc. Our main assets are the players, but we...

    AFC Coventry

    It isn't definite, but it is far more likely. SISU would gain nothing from administration (potentially), whereas at least with voluntary liquidation they would have some element of control and a time window ahead of instigating proceedings where they could attempt to cash in, divert money, sell...

    Sisu -do the decent thing and go!!

    Uh? We operate at a massive loss yet have no external creditors to speak of (rent dispute aside). We pay our bills, I'm not sure which part of that is difficult to understand.

    Will Sisu Now Decide to press for Admin - as the season is now almost done?

    Well done, what do you want, a medal? If you go every week then clearly that last comment was not aimed at you so you can wind your neck back in. So like me you chuck a few hundred quid a year into the pot. Our contribution is like a piece of hay in a giant stack of needles. These people on...

    Ratings vs Swindon

    Well without wishing to labour the point too much, I thought their fans were terrible considering the numbers. I just didn't hear them. What did they sing? For 90 minutes too apparently! Most of the first half they were completely silent and stood there arms folded looking pretty abject tbh.
