Isn’t that the same mentality that saw Coventry rugby team get left behind when everyone else went pro?

Yeah, but we’ll just hover above all season, expect Derby, Blackburn, Hull, Peterborough and Blackpool to finish below us.

He’s better but not light years ahead. This is another case of fan favourites faults being overlooked. as class as Hamer is he didn’t show up from January onwards

I can see the concern, we spent years with Burge costing us points, the goalkeeping position is really important. It’s not one you can mess with. I think Schmeee is hasty, but ultimately the points he make are valid, if he’s rusty hes got to get up to scratch quickly the defence has question...

Does anyone remember the years prior to Operation Premiership? these we standard transfer windows

We may also be counting the cost of last season still. It’s clear financially we’re on our own. I’m sure I read we took out one of the loans from the EFL and that in itself has caveats on what can be spent

It was merely a figure plucked out the air, you can throw in all sorts of benefits. I mean they don’t need independence per se. But it’s a commitment, and those who are likely to buy a membership are likely to have the clubs best interests at heart. Maybe even an elected board member. But yeah -...

But that’s something that’s purely for the club to consider. fans should only be looking at the culture of the club. The budgeting should stick with the club. the best way is a membership, that comes free with the ST or say £150 per year

I’ve been on now, and it can’t find my user data. I can sign up for it. But I need to print off a form and post it? no option to join online

Which in itself is a massive data breach, didn’t make that one known did they. Like I’ve never called them a shadowy organisation. Just that they ridicule opposing decisions, and generally have people who have ridiculously high opinions of themselves. ultimately the argument on this thread...

Problem is their mailing list isn’t great, I signed up at the Colly in 2013… no such emails received

Agreed. I mean this is what I mentioned earlier, a membership scheme. You’re sent out a prospectus detailing the pros and cons of a key decision relating to Club culture and then send in a vote, the platform would be better than rocking up to the Albany club with 10 people. then as I said have...

Which is fine. The season ticket holders are the consistent investment that can be traced, maybe put in place a club membership scheme? You get it free with the season tickets - and for an annual fee of say £150 you get discounted tickets, secondary benefits in terms of away days and equal...

But see that’s the issue. The trust represents a smaller amount of people who represent their members not Coventry city supporters (their words) the only group that has the fans views at heart is the season ticket holders. They put the most time, money and effort into the club. Forcing them to...

some members of the trust board openly say they don’t go to the games - why should they have anymore say than the season ticket holders

I don’t see how canvassing Season ticket holders isn’t democratic? It’s far more fairer than letting the trust run riot. you take your core fanbase directly, and ask them. It gives them equal voting power with the club and ultimately you give a regulator armed with all the facts the deciding vote

Maybe in certain aspects I.e groundshare, badge, kit etc you canvass ST Support which as you’ve said may require 80/20 amongst ST holders to wield 1 vote, club has 1 vote and an independent regulator has a casting vote? if the club can’t act freely to an extent, the club loses a bit of...

I don’t mind an elected board member to sit on the meetings. But unless they put money in their influence should be minimal. Ive bought every Playstation, don’t see me demanding representation on Sony’s board trying to change their operating methods i have a grudge because of the shitty...

What could/would work? Fan representation? - there shouldn’t be. It should be an independent regulator panel. Fans are too emotive. We’d have gone bust 3 years ago had the Trust got their way - remember they wanted us booted from the league

Problem is the sky blue trust have always said “they don’t represent the supporters only it’s members” with numbers of 2800 that represents less than 1/3 of season ticket holders, and that’s if they all have them. on top of that some of those members were signed up whilst pissed in the colly of...
