    Interestingly...ahead of tomorrow:

    if the judge thinks there's something that needs pulling apart and examining in detail will that mean another adjournment? They don't schedule much time for this sort of hearing do they, would guess they would need to either instruct someone independent to do some investigation or schedule a...

    Quick question

    They can easily say they are part of the company in admin but they will honour them as a gesture of goodwill to the fans. it's generally the case that if a club goes into admin season tickets are honoured.

    Preston Haskell IV to buy Alan Higgs charity.

    It's like Orange Ken's meeting with the council all over again!

    Question about the land, what land are we actually talking about. Theres a pieces of land between the canal and the railway, is that what we're talking about? Heard talk of building on the car park but then where would anyone park?! What's the status with the industrial estates, surely if...

    Season ticket holders could have a case...

    To be honest I'd probably go to at least one and hope that one day it's a weird footnote in the history of the club "remember that time we had to play 3 home games at St Andrews"

    Sky Blues set to play home games at St. Andrews

    So lets say we play at Walsall for the last 3 games of the season and then move back to the Ricoh next season, are you all coming back or will you refuse to go as they've played home games outside the city boundary? If they build a new ground on the other side of the M6 (around a mile from the...

    Season ticket holders could have a case...

    Would it not be a good idea to wait and see what happens first? If, and I still think it's a big if, we play home games away from the Ricoh who knows what the club will annonce. If they offer those with tickets the choice of free travel or a refund I can't see there being much of a case for...

    Thanks OSB, in your opinion does this make any negociation easier or harder? On the face of it to me it makes things harder as if CCFC (or SISU as current owners) want access to all that income there is now another party involved.

    Sky Blues set to play home games at St. Andrews

    Have to say I've been pretty shocked at how many people appear to be more concerned about season ticket refunds for 3 games, status of car pack passes, free travel, kids for a quid etc than if the football club will actually survive or have anywhere to play home matches. Would people really...

    Does anyone know when the joint venture company was setup? Thought crossed my mind that this may have been set up to make it harder for SISU to get their hands on the F&B money, was the dispute already ongoing when the change was made?

    Joe Elliott to be the front man

    So should we just welcome anyone with open arms and just hope things work out for the best? A new owner doesn't mean a better owner. I'm sure people will say it couldn't be any worse but how many times have we said that as city fans only to find out it can get much worse.

    Preston Haskell IV to buy Alan Higgs charity.

    That should be an decision for any potential owner to make, not something that is forced on them. If the owner of CCFC wants to diversify and create more income streams then all well and good but it's not right to force it on them as a condition of any sale.

    Potentially 4 interested parties

    If we're going to play at another ground SISU aren't going to agree to a rental agreement like the one we have (had?) at the Ricoh. More than likely it will be on a per game basis and payable in advance.

    Potentially 4 interested parties

    Is it not a bit odd that all these interested buyers have decided to speak with ACL, who don't own the club and can't sell it to them, rather than the actual owners?

    Portsmouth Match thread

    Not going to go through the whole thread as I've already had to suffer being at the game! Started off OK but then seemed to fall apart when they scored and couldn't get any control back. When Thomas and Wilson came on we seemed like a different team. IMO we should stop playing all the loan...

    Paul Fletcher

    There's many many people who have been involved with CCFC over recent years that I have a massive distrust of (Richardson, Robinson, McGinnity, Fletcher, Ranson, Deliu, Fisher, I'm sure there's more) but it does strike me that all of these people aren't linked to each other, although some are...

    ACL on CWR right now

    The club needs to own it's own ground and as such I want CCFC to own the ground not SISU / ACL / Higgs / Council. The club is owned by SISU now but hopefully it won't be forever. You can write contracts with clauses saying for example 100% ownership of the stadium has to stay with the company...

    How much did ACL & the Council actually put in

    Thats my understanding as well so the council are already £10m up and I have vague memories of a figure of £40m being thrown around to purchase their share. Higgs paid around £6m for half of ACL and it was generally accepted that the buy back formula worked out to around £10m. Why could both...
