Has anyone sent this link to the National Press and the Coventry Telegraph/Observer ? I sent it to the Football League.

emailed to Football League !!!!

Being as we are still in Administration and ACL say the club can play at the Ricoh for free whilst in Administration, surely it's up to the Administrator where we play, not Fisher's lot ? If ACL challenge this we could be in Admin for sometime.

I can't believe for one moment that ACL is doing nothing -- something must be going on behind the scenes. Problem is, we can can guess ! One thing is certain, they are not just going to sit there and do nowt. A statement said the Board of ACL was meeting to discuss the situation. Just...

It's a long time ago now for most of you to remember, but in the 1960's and 70's gates of 36,000 were not not unusual and certainly no less than 28,000. Several times we had gates over 40,000.. even for a league match against Wolves we had 54,000 ! The population is there to support a big team !

Hope this never happens but if this drags out would you accept a further 10 point (or more) deduction and possible relegation to Div 2 if it finally meant getting rid of SISU ?

Either way I hope the FL delay ratification pending further investigations, particularly in view of PH4 news !

I have just emailed the Football League, marked URGENT not to ratify Appleton's choice until further investigations are carried out. Also advised them of this latest development.

Agreed Otis -- common sense must now prevail. Even a short term agreement allowing the dust to settle and for BOTH sides to reach a deal acceptable to both made over a period of time. I genuinely believe SISU would sell if a deal was in place.

I have emailed ACL urging them to do a deal with SISU - pointing out their published concerns for us, the supporters and the 13,000 plus petition ! Anyone want to do the same ?

Should we petition ACL now to do a deal with SISU that will keep CCFC Ltd at the Ricoh ? Makes sense to me that if there is a deal, and CCFC Ltd stays at the Ricoh, the more likely it is that SISU will sell. Just a thought,not an opinion.

I certainly feel the legality of this should be questioned... not just because that Otium bid the most but a decision based on accounts "which are a mess " (Tim Fisher's own words). There are lots of unanswered questions relating to the company's accounts which SHOULD have, in my opinion, be...

The Football League are likely to ratify the Administrator's decision and give SISU the go ahead. If they do this, what can we do next ? 1. Make every effort (don't know how!) to get ACL and SISU to agree a deal to keep CCFC Ltd at the Ricoh ? Any suggestions how we might bring this about ...

Personally, I haven't a clue what ACL might do. However, I don't think for one moment ACL will want "the bowl" which is the pitch and stands to become a white elephant. ACL does need an income from a football club as well. I believe it would now be in ACL's best interests to tell the Football...

According to CWR, ACL has not yet given up. I understand they are contacting the Football League and taking advice. We shouldn't give up either. Any ideas what ACL might now do ?

Should ACL and the Council accept we are stuck with SISU I suggest they get their backsides into gear and do a deal with SISU for next season or longer to play at the Ricoh. This would give time for the dust to settle and either allow time for further long term negotiations or for another party...

Living in the Cotwolds my nearest team is Cheltenham Town - might go a watch them for a few seasons. Next nearest is Forest Green Rovers in the Conference. Got to be better than giving money to SISU

The Football League still has the final say... we could now make every effort to persuade them NOT to approve SISU - up to us. Is it worth the effort ?

Now is the time to continue bombarding the Football League again with our views. I know many letters, emails etc have been previously sent, but don't let this matter rest ! [email protected]

Is anyone able to put OSB's questions onto a Word document and send it to [email protected] for them to include the questions in the letter to Joy Seppala ? I don't know how to put onto Word (I'm a thick OAP after all!)
