if this turns out to be true I'd love to listen in on Tim telling Joy that their plan to put ACL out of business is screwed.

Supposedly SISU were going to bring in AEG but nobody I knew who was working at AEG at the time knew anything about it. AEG are a huge company in sports and entertainment but as far as I know have no involvement in the conference industry. AEG own 50% of LA Galaxy among other teams and own or...

true, but I'm not sure they are going down that road as surely if you were up to no good you'd just keep paying the rent as you'd never want anyone to start digging further into the situation.

well I didn't think it was possible to be more astounded at the level of incompetence shown by the football league than I already was but clearly I was underestimating them!

any sale will be for the infamous £1 but the issue will be how much SISU want to write off the alleged £70m debt. They can say they aren't interested in selling all they want but there will be a figure (I would guess a certain % above the amount they have genuinely put in) which they would...

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
