But here it is: Could the fans, through the Sky Blues Trust, buy the Higgs share of the Ricoh? If I remember correctly CCFC Ltd loses the first right to that share when...

    Decent blog post from 200% again: http://twohundredpercent.net/?p=23672 So the new home of Coventry City Football Club will not be in the West Midlands, and neither will it be within thirty miles of the city of Coventry itself. It was confirmed last night by the Coventry Telegraph last night...
