I was born there and had my tonsils out there when very young - so it was both. Picture of Prince Philip in the boys ward and the Queen for the girls ward ( tonsils not birth..). Still remember that. I count myself as from Coventry as 1. it now is Coventry and 2. it was the/ a maternity hospital...

I thought Joy is still wet about it? She was big time wet until ACL got the loan.

ML will bring a few more into Play before the summer,... Always good for a good phrase...,

It's one thing Appleton doing something illegal, but he didn't need to. The result was SISU got what they wanted - without doing anything illegal. Pity they don't have to file the last sets of accounts though, and that ACL had a rental agreement with a redundant property company called Coventry...

I am sure Appleton did nothing illegal and that the main creditor - a member of the SISU group who appointed him ( or chose him to be appointed by the court ) - got what they wanted. SISU remain in charge. No surprise there. That is SISU's field. What they are best at - as opposed to running a...

Tbf Appleton was chosen and paid by SISU group. The golden share vanished and then made a timely reappearance. People can draw their own conclusions without being prompted - or correct. I think PaulW went to the edge by bringing the suggestion of corruption to the debate. Why? Why even...

Can anyone think of a reason to put: or more cynically were they in bed with one of the council or ACL staff?in this post? "To provoke discussion" is the answer from the OP on another post questioning his motives. It would be interesting to know his agenda. He hasn't answered my question on...

No. I am saying that he is implying that ACL or Council staff are in bed with the caterers. That is potentially libel. ACL have a joint venture with Compass which is legal. It would be different if a member of the council staff was "in bed with the caterers" - the implication being: looking...

[/B] What's all that about? Do you have an agenda? Are you implying something with no facts to back it up? Or are you trying to start a rumour - to damage the council's or ACL's reputation?

Great photo. Can you do one with the sun rising and put "Football Stadium to Rent/ Lease including League 1 Team with potential - all offers in duplicate to SISU Capital Ltd. and Coventry City Council "? Then circulate on the Internet.

Years ago I bought a pie with a fiver and got change for a tenner. Maybe that happened a lot.

General knowledge questions for RFC: Did our club sell the F&B rights? Did our club have the option to buy the Higgs' share? Can our club have the F&B rights without owning the stadium, e.g. when they lease the stadium, ( ACL get a share of the F&B and don't own the stadium )? If the club...

Yes, you have upset me - and probably a lot of Coventrians. We know what it says on our birth certificates - we learnt to read at school - in Coventry. Kerseley Hospital was the maternity hospital for my generation of Coventrians. Attack Grendel by all means for his views, but don't try and take...

Yes, you are confused. Grendel is actually defending Coventrians who were born at the Royal Court against an attempt to class us as "Coventry Area".

I thought ML said something about not knowing the mechanisms of bank transfers when asked. I can't believe that the club/ we wouldn't pay on time.

I thought we were on a rates rebate thread, not a why haven't SISU paid yet? thread. That comes only if they don't pay by the end of the month and the football club, sorry we, are in danger of getting some form of punishment because of our owners.

No, when you are talking about a player, then ok it's "we". I agree. This is because it has something directly to do with our common interest - the football team. Getting a rates rebate is nice for the owners/ the club, but I won't be chanting "we won the rates rebate" as emotionally as "we won...

When talking about football ( I know it doesn't happen much nowadays ) I refer to CCFC as "we". "We" being team and fans. When referring to a rates rebate which I won't be getting, I tend to stick to "they". I won't refer to, say, the council winning the JR as "we" in "we won the JR".

Am I getting a share of a rates rebate? Super.

Referring to CCFC - see first sentence. Don't get paranoid. Or are you criticising my English? :-)
