Speak for yourself, but I'm not biased. I couldn't give a damn about politics between the different parties. All I really care about is watching football, and in Coventry - although that can't be at the expense of the clubs future. Can't please everyone though, hey.

Regarding the stadium, the length of deal they are wanting at the Ricoh answers that question. Will things be any different, who knows - I can't see into the future any more than you! By the fans forum, I guess you mean what started as the SCG. This turned into the supporters forum, which is...

I'll answer for Pete as I think he's stuck in meetings. Yes, we'll have a representative from here at the meetings going forward. Will probably be Pete or myself (more likely Pete as he's better located) initially but open to others taking over in the future.

Stadium Plans – Short & Long Term Dave & Joy both seemed hopeful that a deal could be reached with Wasps for us to play at the Ricoh Arena next year, whether promoted or not. Bringing the club back to Coventry remains a priority, and he believes it is also important to Wasps to have the added...

Following the statement issued on behalf of this forum in January by Pete Griffiths (@Sky Blue Pete), myself and Pete met with both Joy Seppala and Dave Boddy on Thursday 27th February. We started by sharing some background information on why forum members collectively felt the need to issue...

He's out of contract in the summer but Bristol City have a 1 year option. I've heard if they take that up then his wages are pretty high (and possibly out of our reach). Would love it to be true though. Fantastic player.

That has to catch on. It's some guy on Facebook, he did one for one of the previous games. Made me smile.

Wow, that's a pretty good lineup for a local event. Good work.

I'm not sure it's as black & white as that.

I guess the obvious answer to that is, rightly or wrongly, they believe they have a case. I'd guess they feel wronged with what has happened over the last few years (and I appreciate at least some of it is of their own making) and want to follow it up. Whatever my personal feelings on the matter...

Yes. Already agreed with EFL and Brum I believe

Lower than I thought, although its beyond debate that we'd have more through the gate at the Ricoh so would be better off. We just can't do it at any cost, it has to be sensible and sustainable (and have a better pitch!!).

We probably wouldn't, but wed have had 5k more at £20 a ticket, so pretty much the same.

Not keen on the bit about casting doubt over our ability to continue as a going concern. We don't need to be encouraging the trust to be telling Wasps to play hardball.

The basic rate and the solidarity payment is fixed and is the same for every club (apart from those already receiving parachute payments). Works out at roughly 6.5 million. There's prize money and tv money on top of that.

The US is probably the most capitalist country in the world, yet they manage to have salary caps in all their major sports. I don't necessarily agree that a salary cap is the way to go (it'd have to be a global thing for it to work) but it's hardly communist thinking. For some reason in this...

I think he's saying it should be based on the fixed income that all (most) clubs get. The basic rate plus solidarity payment.

There's about a 6m jump in income from the EFL/Premier League with being in the Championship.

Presumably they aren't in these accounts as it wasn't known at the end of the accounting period?

We're top of the league. I think he's been backed to an appropriate level (this year at least, which I appreciate isn't the year the accounts cover). To be fair, it's the first time they've taken a significant amount out for some time (if ever). That money will probably come back this year or...
