And it's also rather superfluous to this one particular argument. This isn't a blame game letter, it is a plea for common sense and for councillors to do the right thing by the people of Coventry and two of its biggest sporting clubs that carry the city's name. Best to keep it simple and focus...

I can be there for 6 p.m. on Tuesday. Can make Monday too, if it is better to be then. Anyone on here post on Cov RFC's forum? Would be a very good idea to get Cov rugby fans onboard with this too.

Here's mine for what it's worth. Pinched a fair bit of Michael's. Dear Councillor Kershaw, I wish to express my concern regarding media reports of a possible deal with Wasps RFC relating to ACL/the Ricoh Arena and to urge you not to agree any such deal unless it is to the clear benefit of...

If someone has either the email or Twitter addresses of all local councillors, might be a good idea to post them up here.

Because I am talking about in terms of a template. I believe we all agree on the first part, the 2nd chunk is all personal opinion. The first part I think would make quite a good template for all fans to use.

Just needs the first bit with sort sort of summary at the end, stating that as a councillor representing the citizens of Coventry, it is their duty to do the right thing by the 2 main sporting teams of this city, above all else.

Or draw, or just beat them.

Michael, I really don't believe you need to put the highlighted section in at all.

It's like a 'We are Millwall, no-one likes us' moment.

There's a game on? :o

Now we have more meat on the bones about the deal, we should all surely totally oppose it. Good for ACL and Wasps and CCC, bad for Coventry City FC, Cov Rugby and the people of Coventry (unless they are Wasps supporters). Petition time I think and let's all contact our local concillors.

Their statutory duty is to act in the best interest of the citizens of Coventry. A deal that may mean CCFC leaving the city and an outsider taking over, surely just isn't right and is not acting in the best interest of the city's citizens.

Thanks, Torch, but it's common bloody sense isn't it? Enough of this 'if it's bad for Sisu it's good for CCFC' nonsense.

Such great memories though. We're all going to appreciate it when we relay the story to our grandchildren of the day when we employed a scout as manager. It's like a 'When I see an elephant fly' moment.

Everything leading up to the hoof looked pretty though.

At the end of the day we should all want CCFC in Coventry, playing at the Rioch and definitely not want a sports franchise moving into town. Too much focus on stopping Sisu and getting them out, where in reality we should all be rooting for Coventry City FC first and foremost.

Didn't Thorn play every player in a holding role? Basically, hold on to the ball and keep it in pretty triangles. The whole plan seemed to be to keep posession and hold on to the ball for most of the game, hardly have a shot on target and keep giving goals away when not in possession.

Well going by their forums (and that is all we have to judge on), they are pretty much all unamiously against it.

Don't know what anyone believes any more. :( And why haven't Sisu come out and made a statement at their 'sadness' that ACL are trying to do a deal with an outside party, after being denied the opportunity themselves? Why haven't they done that? They have consistently said that they have been...

For the fans it's like one great big red hot poker rammed up the arse.
