You have to go to the ticket office and not pay on the gate? Surprised we haven't heard more about this outrage.

But who are they asking? Anyone who thinks SISU wants to stay is bonkers, they want out as much as we want them out. To get them to leave there has to be someone prepared to buy the club at a price acceptable to the current owners. People are throwing around things like SISU will only sell for...

Not quite: The Goldstone Ground was sold by the board in 1997 to property developers, with no alternative ground lined up and without consulting the fans. A ground share with Portsmouth never materialised and they eventually arranged a ground-share with Gillingham over 70 miles away. They moved...

They have. That's what CSF are refusing to respond to.

That's more like it. Personally I think the involvement of Sport England would be a big plus. Would bring someone neutral to the table, even if not specifically as a mediator they would naturally fall into that role. Also useful as they have requested the same information as the club, that's...

I lived in London for a while. Would never live there again. You think its going to be great as everything you could possibly want to do happens in London. Then you get their and realise you can't afford to do anything because you're paying all your wages on rent.

What sort of state do you expect the stadium to be in when the 250 year lease expires?

You would have thought it would be less with family rates.

You could have shortened it :D

Suppose the answer to this would be to send them via a tracked service, which TM do offer, but the postage price would then be about £6.

Is that how you operate your business? Anyone can ask you for money and you just blindly pay it? If CCC are due the money then they will get that one costs are awarded when the legal process is exhausted. Despite their claims of having to cut services due to this the council have tens of...

You might want to dig a little deeper into that and look into the ownership structure of QPR and Wasps and the finance Wasps took out against a massively overvalued asset.

The Butts was the only real possibility. Even if it was not viable long term with temporary standing in place you should be able to get it up to 10 - 15K fairly quickly. But with that ruled out I'm struggling to think of any other options. There's no way somewhere like Sphinx could be brought up...

Obviously it is good to see the Telegraph finally doing something but I'm not sure targeting the FL is the way forward. How can they intervene or refuse to allow the club to play outside the city? If Wasps won't negotiate where does the Telegraph suggest we play? The FL could mediate but would...

They wanted WW to stump up for a new stadium they didn't really need that Wasps would also use.

No, it was a temporary location before they moved back to London. At least that's what their fans were constantly told.

Its still CCC until you get past the airport. You would have thought somebody, maybe someone doing some sort of Coventry Gateway project, would have thought about that. Can't possibly imagine the council would have applied pressure for it not to be in the submitted plans ;)

That's the problem, why are Wasps saying SISU dropping legal action against CCC is a requirement for talks to take place over a deal between CCFC and Wasps? And why did they start negotiations and then suddenly stop?

I can't imagine the FL ever saying to us, or any other club, you must accept this deal with a third party.

Let's be honest, at the moment there's not a lot of evidence to suggest the council would do anything to stop the club folding. They are currently refusing to assist the club unless SISU pay them in excess of £300K. They have blocked moves elsewhere, they have moved Wasps in and sold them the...
