I think anyone who works close to the line of legality as administrators can do carry the risk of overstepping the line but without any investigation no one will ever know. The biggest questions are around all the I don't know what I'm selling, where the share is, where the contracts are etc...

The biggest problem with the Ricoh is that we've been rubbish since we moved and everytime we've had a big crowd and potentially a good atmosphere we've lost. I think you could pretty easily solve most problems with the Ricoh, close off the corners and back rows to condense the crowd. I would...

Start at the top and work down. Every premier league game is covered on TV these days so have all that footage available and have an official go through it, any diving, OTT appealing to the ref etc then suspend the player for a couple of games. May seem harsh and it could be chaotic at first but...

What I'd love to know, and I doubt we'll ever find out. Is net figures for everyone involved in the Richardson / Robinson / McGinnity era. It's all well and good saying such and such wrote off millions but if overall they made millions it's not such a hardship is it. My suspicion, for which I...

I bloody hope that doesn't happen, after all this build up I just want a resolution. Imagine us all sat here ready to go and judge just goes 'you do realise you've come to the wrong place'.

I'm a contractor, mainly logistics these days so I look at proposed tour routings and the tour requirements to see if its workable and then go from there. Done all sorts tho, working in the music business is a bit like being in a band, you start at the bottom travelling around in a shitty van...

Would be nice, any result in the JR and goings on over the summer that brings a resolution is fine with me. Just get it over with and move on. If that means CCC or Higgs lose money or ACL ceases to exist then, sorry, but the club comes first and if this isn't sorted soon we're going to reach a...

The music industry at that size of show is doing incredibly well. There are areas where the business is struggling, and there is certainly a struggle to find bands who can sustain stadium sized tours on a regular basis in the way the likes of Bon Jovi, Rolling Stones, U2 have but generally the...

No promoter is going to give a second thought to any of those things, if they did there would never be a show at Milton Keynes Bowl, Donington Park or Knebworth. Promoters are concerned with punters turning up, the venue being up to scratch and logistics, that's pretty much it. I have no idea...

You've made a huge leap there from me saying an ACL employee is talking absolute rubbish to me worshipping ACL, not entirely sure how you've got there. This is my area of work, booking these type of tours, so I thought I'd give my view, that's all. As you seem to know more about my area of...

Also worth pointing out you would struggle to find a stadium venue in this country outside of Wembley which has staged shows every single year since 2006. Thats a very good record for the Ricoh. I would only be really concerned if we see two summers in a row without shows, that would indicate...

Whoever that spokesman is at the Ricoh is talking absolute rubbish. The most likely reason for their not being any shows at the Ricoh this summer is simply that major artist touring cycles have coincided to give a year when there's a very limited number of stadium sized acts on tour. The world...

First and foremost I hope for a result that is in some way beneficial to us as a club, draws a line under everything and allows us to move on as frankly I'm sick to death of the whole thing and just want to watch some bloody football and pick a player we're all going to whinge about this season...

That would be great for Higgs but how does it help the club. SISU have said they won't deal with CCC and I don't think anyone would claim that either side holds the other in very high regard. Would CCC buying Higgs share see us any closer to playing in Coventry again? For me, from a SISU...

If someone could rip and upload it to a torrent site that might be an easy way to distribute it. Can't see anyone at the BBC or ITV being that bothered about stuff from 1987. Apart from the game itself (which I'm sure we're all purchased already) I doubt they've even got any of that stuff in the...

I have a vague memory of a program on BBC Midlands as well, think it was before the final which covered the history of the club. Had all that stuff on VHS, the Midlands Today special on the celebrations after, all of Grandstand from that day. Unfortunately it all got pinched when I was burgled...

I was at home, 86/87 was the first season I'd been going to games and there was no way my Mum was going to let me go to Wembley on my own or without a 'responsible adult'. Remember my Dad taking me down to Cheylesmore shops at full time to queue up for a Pink. The queue was massive and there was...

If owning 50% of ACL gives you no return then it stands to reason owning 100% of ACL gives you no return. We also know that ownership of the freehold will bring no return until the lease expires in 40 something years so following your logic the club should give up any attempt to purchase either...

The season before SISU took over our average attendance was 21,301. How much would the wage bill have had to be reduced to break even? Not a great deal I would imagine. When SISU took over they did recognise that we had a relatively large squad and too many older players on big wages and worked...

If you're talking about the sale price of the clubs share to Higgs I believe the figure was basically the amount the club had put into the Ricoh project. As for what we did with the money I think we spent it on the wages of 'big name' signings like Ward. From the charities perspective it has...
