    Very simple, a statement saying they will allow any owner, including SISU, to play the 2013/14 on the same terms as the last 3 games of last season as a temp arrangement giving them 12 months to agree a permanent new deal with the owner. They should also make a statement on if they will...

    Latest Trust Email

    Anyone who's ever been involved with market research will tell you all about phrasing of questions to push towards the answer you want. Can't remember what the initial question was that approved the Trusts course of action but I do recall thinking it wasn't the most balanced question! If I...

    how do these votes work? Do you need a certain % of all memebers of the trust to vote in favour of something or just a majority of those who respond? If it's the later what % of total membership voted that the trust should refuse to speak to SISU in the last vote?

    This is not good from the trust. while the obviously don't have to stay neutral they are increasingly becoming a SISU out protest group. A supporters trust should not be a protest group, sure they can take a stance against the owners or anyone else for that matter but in doing so they should...

    Walker - City Supporter Survey Results Will Be Out

    results will be out of date now anyway. don't think the forums had the result they hoped and i would suspect if they did the survey again the results would be even worse for them.

    Companies Act Section 441 and 551

    SISU may be experts as law but that doesn't mean they can just break the law if they feel like it! Also worth remembering that the burden of proof required by footballing authorities has been shown in the past to be lower than that required by a court of law. SISU don't have to be beaten in...

    Springsteen at the (ACL) Ricoh

    Don't pay in advance, drive past the big flashing sign telling you to turn right into the car park for your particular event and take the next right. then the first left is the NCP for the tube, always space if you're going for an evening event, that's £11. Or keep going on into the next O2 car...

    I don't want to support SISU - but i don't want to kill CCFC either...

    Surely if it was as easy as that and you could build a brand new stadium that gives you extra revenue but costs you nothing every club with a shabby old ground would be doing it? I would be amazed if CCFC end up owning this new stadium, only difference will be we're paying rent to a SISU...

    Springsteen at the (ACL) Ricoh

    You're going in the wrong car park! It's £7 for 4 hours in the O2 car park or £11 in the NCP.

    Springsteen at the (ACL) Ricoh

    bands that can fill stadiums will have the venue hired by their booking agent. smaller bands or other events that would be suitable for the jag hall will more often than not be paid events where the venue promoter (I would assume in our case ACL) pay a set fee for the event or band. Something...

    I don't want to support SISU - but i don't want to kill CCFC either...

    At some point SISU will have to walk away. The worry is they are so stubborn they would kill us off out of spite before letting anyone else takeover.

    Nene Park - Reality?

    if it's true that the utilities have been turned back on and maintenance is being done then it must be fairly likley its for us. if we do end up there I can only see one of 2 things happening. ACL eventually give in and we move back to the Ricoh or we end up there long term. First it will be 3...

    Springsteen at the (ACL) Ricoh

    It would be a flat fee to hire the stadium, for that ACL would be expected to provide some services such as stewarding, local crew etc. The hire fee is probably a lot lower than you would expect as there are way more stadiums wanting these events than there are shows to fill them. The areas they...

    Springsteen at the (ACL) Ricoh

    Or they could have a football team playing 20 plus times a year and as many concerts as they want in the close season (which is when stadium bands are touring) like other stadiums do. Why should it be one or the other? Besides that you would struggle to get 4 stadium shows a year, especially...

    According to Walsall manager...

    It's similar to the setup at the Ricoh in that the club don't own the freehold but they do own the lease so I would assume any deal for us to play there would have to be made with WFC and if their manager has been told it isn't happening then I would be inclined to think he's right. They didn't...

    Do Otium pass the Fit and Proper person's test?

    I have no idea if legal action can be taken or not but I've said for a while the Trust really should be putting pressure on the league. It's one of the few things they can actually do that might have an impact. It's easy for the FL to send a cut and paste reply to individuals but if the Trust...

    At which point do you personally switch off CCFC and to what degree?

    feel the same, sometimes I wish I'd never set foot in Highfield Road when I was a kid. Sure my wife would agree as she has to put up with me being in a bad mood whenever we've lost or SISU / ACL / CCC have made another one of their statements. she won't even be in the same room now when the...

    At which point do you personally switch off CCFC and to what degree?

    It's a tricky question. In some ways I wish I could just flick a switch and forget all about the club, there's certainly not much fun involved in being a Coventry supporter. Problem is, for me at least, it doesn't work like that. Not being local I can't get to a huge number of home games anyway...
