Have they just been allocated the usual away end or have they got that stand opposite the main stand that's usually closed as well? Would make sense to let them have that to avoid problems.

The deal as it was originally made was for it to be a short term thing, basically to ease cashflow problems the club was experiencing. It was essentially a pawn broker deal. We'll give you £6m or whatever it was now but we'll hold the share in ACL as security, when you've got the money to pay us...

For me the middle ground is for SISU to own the lease (essentially own ACL) and CCC to retain ownership of the freehold. Put clauses in the lease that revert the lease back to CCC if there's anything dodgy attempted by SISU. Best of both worlds, club has all the benefit of owning the ground but...

To an extent but as with Get Cov Back to the Ricoh anyone who wants to do this kind of thing really needs to speak to SISU and establish if there is a deal to be done. Lets say this chap raises the £3m and then SISU won't speak to him - it would be a lot of effort and raising peoples hopes for...

Not sure if you're just on the wind up but assuming you're not if you think this is Higgs families only contribution to the club, ignoring the rest of their work in the city, then you need to do some background research. No matter what anyone things of the current situation or the role any of...

Indeed it doesn't but it's not just him, it's also Fisher who has the same problem and not just in the way they present their points. The points they are trying to make keep changing, doesn't really leave you with the impression that its a solid plan they're all working towards!

There was a piece somewhere (probably the Telegraph or Midlands Today) about the huge amount of work that was needed prior to the Olympics. Every single logo (including manufacturers names on toilets, hand dryers etc) had to be covered so as not to upset the official sponsors would imagine all...

Officially I think the last thing was they were in talks with 2 sites and had a HOT agreed with 1 but couldn't tell anyone where either was or give a timescale on when anything would be announced.

The thing that always strikes me with statements, interviews etc from everyone other than SISU is that what they say is fairly consistent and seem somewhat balanced (at least as balanced as a statement from one side ever will be) and plausible. A lot of what we hear from SISU appears made up on...

While ACL do appear to have moved on somewhat and concentrate on their own business unless we get to a point where the stadium bowl is converted for an alternative use it will always be available for us to return. The only tricky part will be that they are taking bookings which block out...

Noticed that, assumed it was just the way it had been written. Would you expect offers to have been made when the transfer window is closed, is that even allowed?

Should it matter? No. Is it likely to be an issue? This is football fans we're talking about, you can pretty much guarantee there will be sections of our support for which this will be a big issue.

This is why I think it needs to be made clear exactly what he is going to do should he win the election. At the moment it appears the GCBTR candidate is not actually running under their name, has a track record of changing parties, is a Spurs supporter and was against the council assisting with...

It appears they don't have one and if you ask you are a supporter of the council ;)

I see the smear campaign is underway and it's being claimed that Patton isn't a Sky Blue and actually supports Spurs. Whilst you can of course support the cause without supporting the team given that you would imagine the majority of votes would come from city fans thats not going to be a help...

He had a decent 15 mins against York in the cup, that's about all his time here came to!

Agree with you there. As I've said before the solution is very easy. The club purchase Higgs share (and pay for it, not put it on the never never!), they then clear the loan and purchase CCC share. CCC then move the lease to say a 99 year lease with peppercorn rent. If the club (i.e. SISU) want...

To be honest not too bothered about what party Churchill was, he wasn't saying he could get us back in Coventry.

Again you have plucked something out of thin air. I have not said its impossible for an independent to win I have asked what they will do if they do win. Should they get in and the rest of the council place Patton in charge of getting the club back to the city what then, what is their actual...

As i have stated many times I have a distrust of the current owners and in light of that my preference would be for the club to own 100% of a longer lease and CCC retaining the freehold with the lease having triggers that should certain events occur (place the club in admin, separate club and...
