    Supporters' group tells Coventry City FC owners to clarify stadium plans

    Presumably all the reporters, all the city’s local government officers, and all the elected members from all the parties? I guess like Grendel you believe the whole lot of them have had an agenda to screw Coventry City Football Club, not just since SISU took over but for years before that? Not...

    Supporters' group tells Coventry City FC owners to clarify stadium plans

    No, there is just one reason - that it fits 100% with everything SISU have said and done all the way through. At every stage they have made absolutely clear that they didn't want to buy the stadium (or even half of it) with all the debt intact. So we don't own it. Which is surely a very good...

    I googled this, and it turns out to be Finnish for “heads of agreement”.

    Supporters' group tells Coventry City FC owners to clarify stadium plans

    This for me is the absolute crux of it all. I don’t regard the high rent as a greedy fleecing of the club, but an inevitable consequence of the Council and the Higgs getting sucked into the whole unaffordable project. The same goes for the formula for buying back the club’s share. SISU...

    Supporters' group tells Coventry City FC owners to clarify stadium plans

    Yeah, it’s a dangerous place. Any poorly-considered remark can be retrieved by some terrifying process years later and thrown back in your face. And there are teams of people who see it as their spare-time duty to keep a count of which threads you read. The exact assessment criteria haven’t...

    Maddison Feels Stronger than Ever!

    I rate Maddison as the best young player we have produced in many years, and I really thought our early season form was largely down to him. It only goes to show how brilliantly TM has done to get us at (or near) the top of the league without him. If he comes back strong, it will be like...

    Maddison Feels Stronger than Ever!

    No, but I kind of get what he means - the way Ricketts and Stokes contribute to attacking moves is probably beyond what Willis could do at full back. Prefer him at centre back myself, where he would be good cover I think.

    Ethics Commitee Meeting Tomorrow

    We all feel the same pain SB, but I hope you’re wrong about never having an opportunity. The Ricoh can easily support two successful sports clubs, and in fact is more viable that way. Somebody somewhere must have an answer. I hope I'm not pushing up the daisies by the time it happens.

    Ethics Commitee Meeting Tomorrow

    If it was a simple as that, I’d agree with you. But what the JR said about the events of 2012 was far more complex. There were pages and pages of it, and the judge decided that the actions of the Council and the Higgs were taken to protect themselves from being stitched up. Maybe he was...

    Doncaster Rovers (Home) Match Thread

    Oldham 19th December - £10 adults, £5 concessions, £1 kids I think http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/tickets-coventry-city-oldham-athletic-christmas-cracker-2793931.aspx Cheaper than using a "match package" voucher.

    Phil Parkinson on Cov loans

    What is the paranoia about? I clicked on the article and he just made that comment as a small part of his summary of the match, without any apparent spin or sarcasm to it. He complimented us on the way the game was played. Then the quote appears on here out of context with an exclamation mark...

    Bradford (Away) Match Thread

    I suspect that is the voice of experience? I wonder what proportion of CCFC fans have witnessed a promotion (or even two)? Strange as it may seem, for me this is one of the most significant results of the season.
