    Lowest crowd since 1962

    Not sure about that as the flip side is somehow force SISU out and go into administration with no one interested in buying us, is a slow death better than a quick one? I don't think anyone who had made a serious attempt to buy the club and had been turned away would have an issue with going...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Mark, If ACL had gone bust the lease would have reverted back to CCC and a fair sale process could have begun with all parties bidding for the same thing. Ideally the taxpayer would not lose money in such a scenario but if the taxpayer is to be put at risk of losing money there is absolutely no...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    I shouldn't have started listening to this, how can anyone hear her speak and not be absolutely furious? Banging on about franchises and business rates, it's like a sick joke. She is an absolute disgrace to the city. Oh good now she's hiding behind commercial confidentiality. Interesting that...

    Lowest crowd since 1962

    I can see your point that if the future is a slow death then when not try anything else as it can't be any worse. For me we need to see a serious potential new owner make clear their intentions publicly. Should that happen, and their plans stand up to scrutiny, I think there would be a lot of...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Not according to the council, only yesterday Lucas stated as fact that the Ricoh was always intended to be a multi-franchise stadium. What you're written there is basically agreeing with Fishers original argument, that we were providing the funding but not getting the benefits. Yet the council...

    Sky Blues Trust Response To Lucas Revelations

    But they must have already approved that so they aren't going to take any further interest until we reach the end of it.

    But what are you considering a well run business. If and when we reach championship level we're competing with teams who have owners who are happy to lose millions, not to mention teams who have parachute payments. A well run business is surely one that isn't losing money, isn't this SISU's...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    I would guess that SISU have their lawyers very carefully examining claims made by CCC and Higgs regarding ACL and the loan during the JR. If they find that the same statements made to the public, that turned out to be untruthful, were made in court I would think they have strong grounds for...

    SISU OUT group issue open letter to Tim Fisher

    So lets assume you are right and there is at least one group wishing to takeover the club. To date what have they done to make this happen? Have they made SISU aware of their interest, have they asked SISU what they would consider an acceptable offer, have they submitted an offer and had it...

    Sky Blues Trust Response To Lucas Revelations

    Why would the FL get involved? We are currently playing in Coventry so they aren't going to get involved in anything.

    Sky Blues Trust Response To Lucas Revelations

    I can't imagine if someone wanted to come in and do to us what has happened at Chelsea, Man City or even Southampton anyone would be complaining we weren't fan owned.

    Lowest crowd since 1962

    I think there's a real danger that with the council selling the stadium to Wasps not only can things not improve under SISU, it will be near impossible for any other owner to achieve success unless they are willing to but in millions with no return. Even with the crowds as low as they are we...

    Steven Pressley stamps on rumours he's lost the dressing room

    I can understand him not throwing Webster under the bus but he makes him sound like the greatest defender there is playing today! He's done nothing here but made himself look stupid.

    Strong Claims about CCC/CET

    One of the things that came out yesterday, which CCC had previously denied, was that taxpayers money had been used to provision the loan to ACL. That fact alone makes it in the public interest. I don't see any circumstances in which taxpayers money is put at risk that it isn't in the interests...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    This all started before the rent strike. Fisher had two main thrusts to his argument. That the rent was too high and that ACL were reliant on the club - basically the club were financing ACL through the rent but receiving none of the benefits. Unbelievable, and I never thought this would be...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Lucas clearly stated yesterday one Wasps game will bring millions into the local economy, how is that correct? Any ticket money, revenue from F&B etc will go to Wasps so straight out of the city. The only spend that will benefit the city is in pubs around the ground and things like that. Even if...

    Weirdest place you've seen something CCFC related?

    Saw an old city shirt in a random bar in New York.
