i wouldn't say people are trying to spin it, when you've announced you're starting a party to stand candidates in the local election and then state "We've spoken to all sides in this and will continue to do so, so yes to talking to people from the Sisu side. And the Council/Higgs/ACL side. And a...

Assuming Rob hasn't done a bunk this does show a slight problem for the campaign. They need to be able to react and respond quickly when there are any questions or issues such as this. If they can't then the rumour mill will go into overdrive and people will draw their own conclusions.

UEFA should give all divisions in Europe a rating, and clubs should then only be able to loan players to a division with a lower rating. Would also ban fees for loans, at the moment there's nothing to stop bigger clubs hoarding players and then charging other clubs for a loan. Take it back to...

Took a few seconds on google. http://www.skybluetrust.co.uk/index.php/about-the-trust http://keepcovincov.weebly.com/kcic-strategy-and-vision.html Doesn't matter if you agree with their aims or if you believe the way they are trying to achieve them is working. They both have clear and open...

Every season there are 4 division winners, 3 teams get automatic promotion and 12 in the play offs. You've then got 4 teams getting to Wembley for FA Cup semis and final, 2 in the League Cup and 2 in the Paint Trophy. Obviously some overlap but there is a lot of teams each season getting some...

Think they've pretty much already done that. They know the council aren't going to turn up to something like this prior to the JR so just by making it a forum for all parties involved in the Ricoh saga they have tried to shift the blame for it not happening onto the council. No idea why the...

Have you seen something the rest of us haven't (and if so how have you had access to it?) as from what I've seen there is zero evidence of any work being done and the two sites actually existing. We were told last year we were down to two sites and HOT had been agreed and nothing has moved...

In fairness Fisher might not be quoted as saying we will never play in Coventry again but he has said we're not coming back to the Ricoh and he also has said that the new ground will be in the Coventry area rather than Coventry itself. Unless I'm missing something putting those two statements...

Note sure I'd get a lot of votes standing in Portsmouth :D I think a key thing will be to have clear and very simple aims and objectives. People tend not to read all the detail so you need something quick and easy to hit people with. Like we have to force the council to do abc or explain xyz...

You're missing my point unless you're suggesting that other parties have only this week begun to think about who they might put forward as candidates or what their manifesto will be. What is your timescale for announcing candidates and policies? With less than six weeks till polling day by the...

Doesn't this show a huge flaw in the idea? We're now less than 40 days from polling day and the other parties are gearing up their push but you don't have candidates or a manifesto. Hasn't this all been left too late? Any Coventry resident can do this, you have a right to take your councillors...

Spot on, the forum that was suggested by ML on CWR is not impacted at all by the JR. All that happened was as soon as he was taken up on the offer it suddenly changed from a forum about the recent accounts to a forum about the Ricoh with all sides present. You could draw the conclusion that the...

I don't know why I waste time reading these things. I thought this was supposed to be totally independent. All that seems to have happened at this meeting is Tim and his cronies have spouted off the usual rubbish, what has this meeting achieved?

Excellent news that the Ricoh is not a factor in getting planning permission, I assume they are now looking at sites in Coventry rather than the 'Coventry area' :sarcasm:

Isn't he the chap who got the hump about not being offered a meeting with Lucas even though he isn't anything to do with anything? The issue I think a lot of people had with the last couple of Reid pieces is there weren't written as clearly opinion pieces, certainly on the online version...

I feel a full manifesto needs to be published as quickly as possible, that way people might make their choice based on what is actually being proposed. The longer that isn't available the greater the number of people who will have already made their minds up. A clear case for putting pressure on...

A sensible idea. At the moment we are assured SISU are advancing with plans to build a new stadium so, taking them at their word, anything that happens in the elections will not impact of the club in the slightest. IMO the best route for Get Cov Back to the Ricoh to take would be to get an...

So who on here, who lives in Coventry and is eligable to vote, would vote for Get Cov Back to the Ricoh based on the information currently available? Will be interesting to see as you would expect people on a CCFC forum to be the most likley to vote for them!

Why is it we've still only had the SISU side of this? Is the Higgs side not going to be made public, if not does that imply that the SISU side was leaked and didn't come through an official release of court documents?

Another thought, how is this being funded?
