if that's a direct quote from Football League correspondence that is an appalling statement to make. they claim they can't get involved with the process of administration but then come out with things like that!

I don't think stadium 100% needs a team to be successful. None of us know how having 20 odd weekends a season being used for football impacts on other business. For all we know other events, be them stadium events or conference type events have been lost as the football has always had priority...

You do realise the Arena doesn't only open for CCFC matches?

I certainly would. And that's the reason why when historic music venues look like they're going to be closed down you have people protesting. Went onto The Place Station (the site for right to bid on community assets) and the first example of a community asset that came up was Old Trafford...

hope Fisher doesn't find out about these loans NTFC and the rugby club are getting from the council, everyone will be in court before you know it!

I assume they don't mean asset in terms of everyone living in Cov gets given a tenner every year out of the profits. They mean assets as in it generates jobs, brings people into the city therefore causing more money to be spent in the city. How many shows with the likes of Bon Jovi, Take That...

Fair point but what's the alternative? There aren't a load of billionaire Coventry supporters knocking at the door so you're either looking for a Chelsea type situation with someone who has so much money they want a football club as a hobby or you're looking for someone like PK4. In an ideal...

If Fisher held a fans forum and showed a business plan that stood up to scrutiny and showed us being much better off with the new stadium (and owning it). And had purchased the land and told us where it would be and shown us the plans and it seemed possible to get planning permission then that...

I think the 'meh' response has caused some frustration to those fans coming onto your boards. Given that other clubs fans, Walsall in particular, were very vocal in their support of the Coventry fans and made it clear to their own boards that they were not happy with any proposed groundshare the...

how do they work out who gets a bye?

Ice Hockey does actually run under a franchise model doesn't it? What actually happened with the move from Solihull, was it against the fans wishes or were they moving to be able to play at a higher level with better facilities? Didn't a team from Milton Keynes move to Solihull to replace them?

not sure the exact rule, is it a FL / FA rule or the law? there is clearly discretion allowed as well. Look at our game at St Marys on the day they went up, they knew everyone would be on the pitch so the stewards just made sure we didn't go on as well and start any problems. as far as I know...

Free season ticket with each £500 pie :D

True, but if the police in effect break the law themselves to stop a peaceful protest I can see that generating quite a lot of press!

very true, he was obviously here for a reason and although it may be premature to be talking about him having purchased the stadium what else would he be here to talk about? you can flip that argument. SISU think they can stay at Northampton for up to 5 years in which time ACL will go out of...

The police actually have no powers to move a static protest, only marches. I believe the SBT have previously contacted the Northants police and been told the hill will not be fenced off and they have no issue with there being a protest there.

Saw mentioned someone, possibly on here, that it might be Cov Uni land at Warwick Uni but surely Cov Uni (and Warwick Uni for that matter) would be pretty keen to stay on good terms with the CCC?

I'm not going to stand on the hill every week but if the talk of a protest there at the Sky game comes good I will certainly be there for that game. Feel it's a bit off to critise people for going to Northampton and protesting, people feel the need to do something and should be free to do that...
