I was led to believe that the new owners of the greyhound lease at Brandon had to guarantee the Greyhound Association 5 years continous use of Brandon,before they sanctioned the re-opening of greyhounds at Brandon again.Also when Mick Horton bought the Coventry Bees off Sandhu,he also bought all...

Indeed SISU may very well wrest control of the club back again,but one thing SISU will never and can never own/control and that is the fans.SISU still need the fans far more than the fans need SISU.Tim Fisher can't make the fans go to Walsall/B'ham,in the same way he can't stop the fans going to...

Well dreams do come true afterall.:claping hands: Great signing for the Blaze and gives us the top end quality Brit we have lacked for the past couple of years.No reason why he can't still score 20+ goals which can turn us from a 4-5th place side to genuine title contenders again. We just need 3...

Not sure if it has been mentioned elsewhere on this forum,but possibly quite an interesting development today is the news that Coventry Council have dropped their opposition to HS2.Since the route bypasses Coventry,it is hard to see why they have suddenly made this move.However the Michael...

Looks a decent signing,although his +/- stats are a bit of a worry.I still think we are a decent brit short of a title threatening side.Ashley Tait is still seemingly available,if would be great if the budget would stretch to bringing back our grand slam winning captain.

For those with twitter,if you hastag BritishSGP,they have promised to put up those messages onto the 2 big screens at the Millenium Stadium for today's British Speedway GP.The meeting normally attracts 40-50,000 fans,and will be screened live around the world.Perhaps sending a good luck message...

Agreed but so would SISU,so if and its a big if,the debt to ACL is around £50 million ,SISU would no longer be 75% of the creditors.

I saw an interesting blog today,that suggested that SISU rental debt to ACL may not be the £600,000 to 1.2 million that has originally been mentioned.That maybe the original lease CCFC took to play at the Ricoh may have been a 50 year lease to guarantee the long term stability of the club,and...

Whether Fisher/SISU own or control the club is still open to debate,and Fisher continues to argue they still control the club.However there is one thing that even Fisher can't possibly deny is that they don't and never will , own/control the fans,the very lifeblood of any club.If the vast...

Well if you read the initial article it talks of building a new stadium outside of the administative boundries of Coventry,so unless the City of Coventry has shrunk to 'village' size I doubt if they will be moving to the Butts.

SISU have got basically 3 options,that I can think of. Option 1 to walk away, in which case they would have lost everything,it would be an utter humiliation,and any reputation they still retained in the business world would be massively diminshed. Option 2 to continue to pour huge sums of...

All very plausible.But what then?? SISU would then be faced with playing at a new venue,in front of crowds of 1-2,000.Their revenue streams would collapse to virtually nothing and would probably barely cover their rent of the ground.Playing in front of a near deserted ground,would hardly be a...

SISU position is now incredibly weak and getting weaker by the hour.They would have had next to no income since last month,and in a few days time they will have to find another circa £500,000 just to pay the players and the staff.From here on it will just get worse,as they very shortly have to...

But equally a SISU run football can't last long without its customer base.No business will continue to throw good money after bad,not indefinitely anyway.You only have to remember when Ratner's boss came out with the statement that it's products were crap,how quickly the company crashed.Whether...

Yes this latest development reminds me of Kim Jong's rant a few weeks back.How North Korea was going to launch a devestating nuclear attack against South Korea,the USA and Japan,did most people in the region panic,no of course not they just laughed it off,as too ridiculous for words.Nothing has...

But at the moment there is absolutely no evidence that CCFC/SISU have seriously planned to play outside Coventry.Yes they have talked about the possibility,threatened it,but where is the evidence that they have set in train serious plans to move away.Playing at Walsall/Birmingham would only...

On reflection maybe the best thing the fans should have done is to all en-mass have voted yes to the move away.Because that actually would have been the result SISU least expected.Every man and his dog,pro SISU, anti SISU or somewhere in the middle knows the fans are overwhelmingly anti SISU.The...

Well I would imagine they are waiting for the administrators report,and where it leaves them in relation to their exact ownership or part ownership of the club.The next step I'm guessing is either to try and exert pressure onto ACL on doing a deal for the Ricoh,or trying to exact the best...

I believe fans are concentrating too much on the move away being terrible for the club and the fans,whilst both are true,surely the main point would be that a move to Walsall/R & D or where ever would be even worse for SISU.Gates would drop drastically,and their revenue streams would fall away...

Convenient you choose to ignore Labour's record in the 1970's.As you did with Labour's awful record on unemployment.Or ignore it's illegal wars based on dodgy dossiers,its appalling record at Mid Staffs leaving over 1200 people dead,its failed IT project in the NHS that cost the country...
