    Tim Fisher. Does anybody have anything positive to say about him ?

    Fisher might be a perfectly nice chap away from the football - but imho he's not someone you could ever do business with. You'd have to count your fingers after you shook hands with him. Perhaps not the ideal figurehead for the club on that basis...

    Judicial Review

    I think the deadline for the appeal was pretty short, I'd got it in my head that they only had a few days though where I got that from I don't know. The formal rules are here if you're really, really bored. http://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part52#52.15 That section...

    Warwick Uni (land near)

    I would guess that any land worth developing by the Uni has already been developed, by the Uni. Warwick Uni is a big, big place these days. Regardless, again a nightmare for traffic, and I suspect that Cov CC might have some say in that regard given it's right on the border. In truth though...

    fisher on CWR now

    See what you're saying in terms of timings, but it doesn't match what Fisher has said publicly. He didn't say the rent's too high because the council won't let us buy ACL - he just said the rent's too high. And as has been done to death, SISU could have bought the Higgs 50% share, had they...

    fisher on CWR now

    I don't think anyone right-minded has suggested that TF should be physically attacked. But maybe the hatred of SISU stems from the fact that it's their actions that have led us to Northampton. They've been able to step back from the brink a number of times, and negotiate honestly - but they've...

    PSL seats

    Me too, but then this is the way that these crooks want people to behave. They hope that if they make it complicated enough, everyone will just give up.

    Propaganda

    The problem is that once you get caught in an obvious lie, who's going to be dumb enough to fall for it again. (This is the problem that SISU have too). To be honest, I don't know why people are so sad as to just make stuff up. It's kind of pathetic really. I guess the best thing to do...

    Preston Haskell at the Council yesterday ?

    Yeah, that's my thought too. This is now simply politics to her, rather than any genuine attempt to resolve the problem. Having said that, and being entirely sympathetic to ACL's case, all I want to hear from them now is how much they want CCFC back. They need to keep up the pressure on SISU...

    PSL seats

    Should say, that's the cost of raising a claim for this in the county court. No defence means a judgement by default, a defence lets us see what their excuse is before deciding to go to court. Worth £30 to see that defence, imho.

    PSL seats

    Must confess its late, and I've had a glass or two, but had I a PSL they'd be having to raise a formal defence against a county court action already. Only really two questions: who was paid for the PSL, and who did the letter come from. I've made the offer here before; I'll cheerfully do the...

    Ian Calvert's letter about a "meeting." Who does he think he is?

    Not quite - she started off by taking on the FL, and when that was just a bit too difficult/complicated for her she went back to the usual political bollocks as it's a lot easier. If she had any care about the club she'd do more than just whine about the CVA. So, of absolutely no use here...

    ACL seeking franchise

    I doubt Cov RFC would have any intention of moving to the Ricoh. They've got a tight operation going at the Butts - just about perfect I'd say. More to the point, I don't think they'd want to be involved with all of the ACL/SISU arseholery. As for comparing rugby players to footy players...

    Coventry attendance at Sixfields ‘to be smallest in league history’

    I can see lots of reasons for people not going to Sixfields, and not many for going. I really hope the attendance is p*ss-poor, because it will build massive pressure on SISU to either move back or move on. Having said that, I wouldn't slag off fellow fans for going, because I understand the...

    Tim Fisher - "you'll be back after 3 matches"

    That's a remarkable response from someone who says that they are going to Leamington this season and is clearly gutted to be doing so. If you want a statistic to draw proper inference from, I'd look at the one regarding average attendances whilst SISU have been in charge. Even without all of...

    Byng at Orient with Waggott

    I think we're allowed to have a bit of a laugh at him, fwiw If he's really got multi-million pound investors, then I doubt that someone poking at bit of fun at him on a message boards will put them off. If not, then nuts to him for being either a dreamer or a plant. (Given his mini-rant at...

    Byng at Orient with Waggott

    Just thought I'd let you know, I've got some enormously rich investors from somewhere very, very far away where you can't get email. So, can I have a couple of seats in the directors' box, and a tour of the ground please. And if I could go on local radio a few times too, that would be lovely...

    Torchomatic

    It wasn't me mate. Kind of funny, if you'd read enough to know that it clearly wasn't you, but probably not so funny if you actually are you! I hope no one is picking on you, fwiw. We clearly differ on stuff, but at least you're generally polite about it. Long may it continue, pretty boring...

    Anyone hear Ann Lucas's interview on Cwr ???

    First off, why do the club need to own the freehold in order to access the income streams? The rent didn't seem to be an issue at all until we got relegated. And then when the rent was dropped it was about F & B, and now it's gone from there to owning the freehold. It's quite clear now...
