    Feature on central news tonight

    Has anyone heard anymore about this? Think the deadline for candidates in the elections around now so we should see which wards and being covered and who has put themselves forward.

    US business man planning to launch bit to bring CCFC back to the ricoh

    Indeed but that was more to do with the group themselves than the platform it was being run on. I would say it is more likely people would distrust a company like this than companies like kickstarter or indiegogo who have a decent track record.

    Louis Garner being released

    Bit strange when it's been said we'll be bring up 11 academy players next season to see players who appear to be doing well are released. You just have to hope that those in charge of these decisions know what they're doing!

    Pressley: League 1 survival would be 'unbelievable'

    The Arsenal money would not have been budgeted for and its unlikely it was budgeted for Clarke to suddenly hit form and be worth a few quid. Are you saying that when SISU, prior to the start of the season, stated they would cover any drop in revenue due to lower attendances at Sixfields weren't...

    possible after JR scenario ?

    Has that actually been confirmed anywhere, I've seen others state that it doesn't follow that the loan will need to be repaid if the Council are found to be at fault as there are other punishments that could be given (slap on the wrist, fine etc). The situation ACL are in now is not the same as...

    possible after JR scenario ?

    So who was it at the meeting you attended that confirmed PH4 was never a genuine prospect? My personal opinion is that there are questions over the way it was handled and in particular things like the lack of investigation into the transferring out of all assets and Appletons insistence that...

    possible after JR scenario ?

    What on earth was Guilfoyle doing there, surely he would have needed to be paid to be spending his time at something like this? It's a bit of a leap from Guilfoyle saying he didn't think he had enough money (it wasn't him alone anyway was it, wasn't he the front man for a consortium) to...

    Coventry City director tells man behind £3m Ricoh Arena plan to talk to club's owners

    Was ML on again today? Did he manage to get through it without sounding like he was about to burst into tears under Shanes intensive questioning???

    possible after JR scenario ?

    Interesting comment. Who made this statement, someone that was involved on the ACL / CCC / PH4 side? Did they give any evidence to back this up or was it just their opinion? What was their implication in this, that he would purchase the Ricoh but not the team or that the whole thing was a non...

    Coventry City director tells man behind £3m Ricoh Arena plan to talk to club's owners

    If it's around £150K a year to play at Sixfields then £300K to play at the Ricoh seem reasonable? It's below the £400K figure first put forward by Fisher as an acceptable rent level. Obviously the lower the better but I don't think the sort of offers ACL have made could be considered ripping...

    Pressley: League 1 survival would be 'unbelievable'

    Someone needs to tell Pressley as he seems to be planning to move a lot of academy players into a small first team squad next year. Odd course of action if his playing budget isn't being cut.

    Coventry City director tells man behind £3m Ricoh Arena plan to talk to club's owners

    Looking at the crowdboarders website I'm not sure he knows much about cutting edge technology, looks like it was made in front page 10 years ago!

    possible after JR scenario ?

    Suing would generally be the next step if they won. However they might come unstuck here as they'd be looking at making a claim for loss of income or something similar. It would then be pointed out that they weren't evicted and the vast majority of the income losses were caused by their own...

    Pressley: League 1 survival would be 'unbelievable'

    At the start of the season I thought we'd be in for a relegation battle and would do well to stay up. Having said that to have wiped off the deficit so quickly and been where we were at Xmas there's no way we should be in this situation now. Play-offs were always going to be a long shot to say...

    Depressing Stat

    I think the model the top PL clubs are moving towards is similar to the NHL and NBA where the majority of tickets, or at least the decent tickets, are sold to corporates who then pass them on to employees, use them for entertaining etc. Went to an NHL game at MSG and it was a real eye opener...

    US business man planning to launch bit to bring CCFC back to the ricoh

    The website for crowdboarders is terrible and doesn't seem to actually have anyone signed up to it. Seems like it's a new business, what are the odds he saw the story about indiegogo last week and saw the chance for some publicity.

    Looking for City Fans For a Documentary

    Same here, I used to make sure all my visits to see family by happy coincidence were the same days we were playing at home.

    US business man planning to launch bit to bring CCFC back to the ricoh

    Well I guess you could look at it that way but SISU own the club and should be paying rent for wherever we play. If this chap pays ACL direct or SISU it doesn't make much difference it will be £3m that SISU no longer need to provide.

    So what is happening about private seat licenses?

    Didn't the CT cover this months ago? Think there was a group of PSL owners threatening legal action.
