Why were they kicked out of the ground out of interest?
Which is what I'm saying. You appear to have a blind spot of actually reading what I'm saying. ffs, I even include Enfield as an example of why not to form a rival club when the current one's heart is still beating.
(Newport are the finest example of a club where the ground was not there btw. They were locked out of their home, had to travel, came back, were sent off again, came back)
I don't get the obsession with "what if Coventry Sphinx became CCFC". You may as well say "what if Aston Villa became CCFC".
I didn't say that. I saidDo you not see it's ludicrous to think that Cov Sphinx could be CCFC if enough people think it?
I can say that if Coventry Sphinx were considered to be the club that people saw as continuing the Coventry City legacy, then that would be it
I didn't say that. I said
Look, I really have to do some work, or I'll be sacked. You can keep replying but you'll get no answer from now on!
Why were they kicked out of the ground out of interest?
The local authority considered them to be a continuation of the old club, and pursued them for debts. Hence the (over) emphasis on them being a new club, which required a move away to emphasise that.Why were they kicked out of the ground out of interest?
No, get sacked
Coventry Sphinx wouldn't carry the CCFC Legacy, it would be a case of them having loads of new fans. Nothing more.
Really? They're crazy.After the meeting I've now got somebody going on about abandoning the games and expecting the efl to take the club off sisu and give it to somebody wasps will do a deal with.
It's laughable.
Don't know why you quoted my post there, because I have never suggested that thousands would go and have never suggested a new club playing at the Ricoh either.There is a massive difference between clubs like Newport who went under with massive financial difficulties
There seems to be some desire for this to happen amongst some people as some kind of utopia to rid the club of sisu and let Johnson and his merry men sit on the board of a football club, something I would fundamentally oppose. It’s a pipe dream to suggest thousands would support the club and bewildering that Wasps would become a registered charity and allow the club to play there (as the club wouldn’t be able to afford any form of rent and match day costs)
It’s equaly bewildering anyone would want to ever set foot in a place again which is owned by the very people who would have bought the club down
I’m out
Next to nobody does. But I'd hope the Trust would have some kind of plan ready to go *if*.I also have no desire for this scenario to happen anyway.
This came up recently on another thread and I did a bit of research. I'll try and find the post later but basically the majority of clubs that have gone down that route explicitly state that it is not the same club.
That tells me that of course the fans see the club as the same club. Not technically or officially, but the perception is clearly there.
Aldershot went bust. Aldershot Town were formed.Officially, no, but just checked on Chester. Chester City went bust, a new club Chester FC was formed.
1. Formed by Chester City fans.
2. The Chester FC badge is almost identical to the Chester City FC badge.
3. Play in the same stadium.
4. Still have the same nicknames (Seals/Blues)
5. Play in the same colours and the same design of kit.

Otium Entertainment Group isn't Coventry City (Holdings). 1907-2014 for the latter...So it isn't actually the same club then.
Aldershot went bust. Aldershot Town were formed.
Set up by fans. Aldershot Town play in the same stadium as Aldershot FC. They still have the same nickname as Aldershot and they play in the same colours.
We're going to go round in circles, Nick. It obviously can't be the same club officially. They wouldn't be allowed to keep the same name, but if it is not the same club why have clubs that have gone bust and reformed kept the same kit, same nickname and almost the identical same badge?So it isn't actually the same club then.
The same as my estate isn't technically or officially a ferrari but if I make people see that then I can trade it in for loads?

Probably a more productive use of time!trolling through 14 pages
There was a FC in Rugby called Rugby Town. They were the senior club in the district.
There was also a junior club in the local leagues called Valley Sports who were a very well run, dynamic club.
I was involved in a local club, played against VS, and came to the conclusion that they would outlive Rugby Town
Eventually Rugby Town folded, and I think a dispute with the owners of the ground was one of the influences.
Valley Sports became VS Rugby and the senior club in the district.
As far as I can tell that club is now called Rugby Town
I didn't know that to be fair. I would be hugely against that in principle.
New Bilton Juniors became Valley Sports became VS Rugby became Rugby United became Rugby Town. All name changes but the same club. Not sure about another club originally called Rugby Town. Was it a long time ago? i only ever remember VS Rugby as the football club in Rugby. Either way, I don't think they are trying to be a continuation of another club, it's just a rename of an existing club as they'd done a number of times in their history. Not uncommon in non-league.
Can I ask what happens about any sell on clause for Callum Wilson if SISU liquidated the club?

Cj while you are here.
Did any of Dave's points get raised and if so, what was said? (roughly)
I think so we can persuade and use tactics to encourage them but it really is not in our circle of influenceSo the up shot of trolling through 14 pages of this whinge fest is no one can do anything apart from wasps and SISU.
