    Another Trust Statement

    SBTaylor, to answer your question directly: I have no idea, and neither have you, since we are not in possession of all the facts, accounts, minutes of meetings etc Secondly, ACL have no mandate to help the club, although it appears, they generously helped the club to have a stadium to play...

    How many on here

    I think you are mistaken. Many "take ACL's side" as you see it. Well, actually, I think these people realise ACL have a legal right to the money owed. That is a fact which we have to accept. No point moaning about it, pay up or renegotiate a new deal. This is not taking ACL's side, it is...

    Another Trust Statement

    I would like to seriously consider this assertion that the club has been shafted over the rent on the Ricoh and that CCFC have a worse deal than any other club. So, Grendel, SBTaylor, Insidetrack or torch can one of you post your evidence base in simple language please so we can look at it...

    Let the Football League know what you think

    Of course. Help yourself. Whatever their policy. I think a few hundred emails all arriving would make someone realise there is an issue which they have to deal with. It cannot do any harm, anyway.

    Let the Football League know what you think

    I emailed the Football League on Friday on [email protected] I was asked to post by somebody a template of what I had written. So here goes: Dear Sir, I have been a season ticket holder at Coventry City for 40 years. I am shocked that events at the club, of which you must be well...

    Suggested protest

    Trust should not cut all ties. They should continue to talk to all parties. That is pretty useless if they are on the fence. If SISU continue with their plans we starve them of cash until they sell or liquidate. If the latter we start again.

    Suggested protest

    Why should they be impartial? They should look at the evidence and then act in the best interests of the fans of CCFC. The days for trying to see all sides are over. Do you always advocate staying on the fence whilst events escalate? Appeasement? This is what SISU are relying on, fans sucking...

    it´s up to us

    Agree with that. We need to all join the trust and get organised.

    Not one penny more

    I will not spend a penny more. I get a season ticket, odd tickets for family, programmes, home shirt, away shirt for son, various mugs and shirts every year so they have lost about £700 from me alone.

    Latest: Fisher says 'no chance' of CCFC playing at Ricoh

    Simply because some of us could see that the club were in the wrong, legally, and some thought, morally as well. Secondly, because many of us suspected it could not end well. We were right. I cannot side with owners who will not pay what they owe, do not care about the club, at all, as far as I...

    Latest: Fisher says 'no chance' of CCFC playing at Ricoh

    A total misrepresentation of views expressed. 1) hardly anyone knew anything about the rent until a year or so back so how could we prevent or protest about it? If we had known what could ordinary fans do about a legal debt? 2) Nobody's first instinct is to start a new club. What a ridiculous...

    Latest: Fisher says 'no chance' of CCFC playing at Ricoh

    Civil disobedience to keep public attention + cost the club money for policing + not a penny to SISU buying tickets or merchandise. This is all we fans can do. Yesterday TF drew a line in the sand as far as I'm concerned. Everyone should join the Sky blue trust now. Let's be clear, the gloves...

    Watching football at the Ricoh...

    A new stadium is likely to be a vastly inferior version of the Ricoh, with all its defects: concrete and plastic (the Ricoh seats are a high spec, compared to other grounds' plastic seats), soulless vomitory, but none of it's virtues: decent facilities, toilets, food outlets, space, lines of sight.

    Not from an iPhone! Will try to do it later from a laptop.

    Latest: Fisher says 'no chance' of CCFC playing at Ricoh

    Since SISU have to put their plans before the FLeague soon we all need to write or email the FLeague to make them aware that the plan should be rejected and the golden share confiscated. Plus, we will not attend home matches outside Coventry except to form picket lines/protests. The FL might be...

    Next season....

    I have had a season ticket for 30 out of last 40 years. No more. I will not be getting one whilst SISU are in charge and I will not attend home games outside Coventry. That could be it for me, now. Never thought I'd see the day, but our club has been kidnapped and held to ransom. We MUST...

    How culpable are the Football league in this farce?

    I see it like a crime committed. All those convicted are 100% guilty and get the full punishment, it is not divided between the number of culprits.

    How culpable are the Football league in this farce?

    The FA and FL have presided over the scandal the English game has become .. Violent, racist, sexist, greedy players, owners who are corrupt and launder money and fiddle their taxes. You get the picture. FA and FL, UEFA, FIFA all share the blame 100%

    club to hold meetings with fans

    IMO you are entitled to your view but it is actually like a judge who listens to evidence but refuses to make a judgement. Weigh the evidence and it is obvious which party is the aggressor and which has tried a reasonable position but been shafted repeatedly. BTW Can a moderator remove the...
