    have our council done enough

    Chortle, Chortle. No, I teach English, Humanities and Social Sciences... To A level, as it happens, so I am used to barrack room lawyers. Comment is free, as far as I'm aware.

    Chortle. As I am a teacher and you are a pupil I think so. !)

    have our council done enough

    Have I fallen through a hole in the space time continuum and woken in another dimension? Didn't CCC 1) rescue the Ricoh project when CCFC had sold Highfield rd? Doesn't CCC 2) part own the Ricoh arena? How can some people behave as if none of this has happened? SBTaylor, you seem to blank...

    Hate them all!!

    I understand the sentiment on this thread but, really, "a plague on both your houses" is a cop out. Fans have to see the bigger picture that only one side owe us fans anything. It is the actions of our owners that are to blame. They have had 5 years to sort it and have failed. Time to force...

    Golden Share Could Be In Holdings After All

    To answer your question directly, Grendel. I would expect ACL to offer a better deal on the rent and revenue to a new owner. I would fully support this as SISU have shown themselves to be unfit owners on so many occasions. A new start is what we need. This would be perfectly acceptable business...

    Golden Share Could Be In Holdings After All

    I recognise majority of blame on one side, a few defensive mistakes on the other side, you don't. You also don't like analogies. Fair enough but sometimes they help you see a pattern of behaviours.

    Golden Share Could Be In Holdings After All

    If that's what you think you have not really read it. There is subtlety there you seem to have missed. Just because one draws a conclusion does not mean the evidence has been seen as black and White. Please see the difference between " I'm right, you're wrong" and "Well, both have contributed to...

    Golden Share Could Be In Holdings After All

    No, Torch, I think you have misread that. Very few people take that view. Some have been at pains to say that ACL have contributed to the problem. None of us know the full facts but I think if anyone looked at all the facts that we do know we can see a pattern of mendacious behaviours from our...

    If we did .....

    Speaking personally I travel 30 odd miles to Coventry 25 times per season, yes to watch the Sky Blues, but also to visit family, my home town and, in a strange way that I can't explain to pay homage to my parents and grandparents who made a good life for their kids after living through the blitz...

    If we did .....

    There is no reason to support a club like CCFC for many years other than loyalty based on it association with the city. The 2 CANNOT be separated without the club losing it raison d'etre. Not the ground, Not the colours, Not the players, Not the manager, Not the style of football. A club...

    Mutton Gone. Now It's Anne v. Joy

    It really is tedious that the grown ups have to wade through sh@g it or kill it or insult it willy waving every time a woman is mentioned.

    If we did .....

    Total respect for that position. If we all took this stand I would hope the FL would step in and remove the Golden share and somehow grant it to a new entity ... Trust, ACL and a consortium of local businesses?

    If we did .....

    I think you would be wise to stop and think. This is massively bigger as an issue than disliking current owners. The act of taking a club away from it's home town/city is a step too far for, guessing here, the vast majority of fans. We are not a franchise. We are fans of a club representing...

    ACL: "We are absolutely flabbergasted by Tim Fisher's statement today"

    Queue, Malevolence Inconsequential All lovely words.

    If we did .....

    Well I wouldn't but I take your point that many would. The real issue is how many people are prepared to accept, on principle, a move away from Coventry, when we have a perfectly good stadium sitting empty and all it needs is for our owners to stop their remorseless campaign to claw back some...

    Yam Yam Land

    Closer for me as I live in Dudley. Will not be renewing my 20 yr season ticket though and reluctant to go at all if current owners remain. May attend warm summer fixtures ... Hard to say at present

    Skyblues Trust email received this afternoon

    10,000 fans paying an average of £15 per ticket = £150,000 income per match. Minimum of 23 matches. How can CCFC not afford £400,000 rent even ignoring F&B income? I know they have to pay the players but still there is no excuse to move from Coventry.

    Skyblues Trust email received this afternoon

    If, for the sake of argument, 100% of CCFC fans spoke with one voice and fans' representative groups told the FL/FA that we will not attend home games outside Coventry, under the present circumstances, could the FL/FA be persuaded to take the Golden share off the current owners and give it to a...
