It's getting obvious that wasps are trying it now. Especially now suddenly the trust are going on about the accounts not being able to be filed.
Must be music to wasps ears.

Have a look at post 205. I think you missed the reply.You quoted me twice Irish until I actually offered something you couldn't dispute regarding positive support and now not a peep. Typical reaction.
No, quite able to make up my own mind. Don’t think things were “ bigged up”. Comments like “Its a fact” when clearly its an opinion make me feel that those who dismiss the idea are somehow afraid of the idea that others see things differently to themselves and might actually really enjoy following a Phoenix version of the club in the way that they always have. You or anyone else is entitled to your opinion (opinion not fact). My opinion, and as I said, I think a lot of other fans will be that our club continues in the way that it always has. If we played in Coventry, wear Sky Blue the club would be the same to me and I would support them. Others can think differently and choose to believe that their club is dead and not attend. All about opinion and choice.
It's fact, a phoenix club wouldn't be ccfc or have the history. You may as well get city fans going down to cov sphinx.
You are kidding yourself after having things like that bigged up to you.

As most of them are season ticket holders and almost all of them go I think that their actions in supporting the team goes without question. I also think the idea of trying to find a solution to the problem of having no ground is also by implication supporting the team. No ground, no team.100+ fans up there and the idea of supporting the team not even raised shows how pitiful it all is.
I saw that. I responded to it in post 208. I think you missed the reply.Have a look at post 205. I think you missed the reply.
Oh yeah, it will be like when ACL tried it and everybody was wearing cowboy hats with Haskell.If they ever try it SISU will be able to call in the administrators first and it'll be the same outcome as before.
Incorrect considering one of the speakers and protest groups who run to the press every time they fart is boycotting for a reason that doesn't exist.As most of them are season ticket holders and almost all of them go I think that their actions in supporting the team goes without question.

It's very dangerous game.
There you go again. You want to know what to do. I said they should promote others going rather than protesting. Yes point was not about their personal support but the crazy idea if filling the ground with supporters not even mentioned. But hell yeah lets have a protest or form a Phoenix club or ask timmy to resign or lobby the council. All pointless.As most of them are season ticket holders and almost all of them go I think that their actions in supporting the team goes without question.

Hard to say. Looking at the support we have for games such as Cheltenham away in the Check-a-trade where we had several hundred on a Tuesday night in winter for basically a nothing game shows the level of support that is there. You would like to think 4K or 5k to begin with and hopefully grow from that as the bandwagon starts rolling.Again it depends. How many would we get in the 10th tier?
Oh yeah, they could easily get away with that without much of a bad wordThink it's more likely that Wasps would boot out the club, spin it as something out of their hands and hope enough morons in the city lap it up and keep going.

Look at the council, duggins completely lies about it. Brags about public opinion and just after that the Jimmy hill way ramp up again.
They all know they can do what they want because they just have to say "sisu" and it goes away. Every time.
I’m not sure how filling the ground would result in a new deal at the Ricoh? We have community day this Saturday when tickets are free or £5 and we won’t fill the stadium. How would you propose that the Trust get the stadium filled? There were lots of ideas put forward from the meeting tonight which I am sure will be put on here. You can look at them and dismiss them all as rubbish. However, people who love the club and who have the best of intentions for its survival have tried their best to find a solution. Perhaps criticism of them and their ideas could be a little more respectful and a little less sneery than some of the comments on this thread (not aimed at you particularly).There you go again.

No but the council and ccfc fans can if it means thinking they got one over on sisu.Yep, but the chickens will come home to roost when the bond issue comes calling and even with the £20m windfall there is still another £15 million to find with £20m still owed to their Malta-based owner. Not even spin doctor Nicky can make that look good.
Neither could I. I don’t support Cov Sphinx or Cov United. 5k? All about opinions.I'd go to every nothing game if ccfc were playing. I couldn't care if cov United or sphinx were playing.
5k? Really?
That is good to hear but a lot of what I see coming out of the Trust comes across as being happier to start again if it meant getting rid of Sisu. Not signing on to the statement was a massive error. Also I think whoever runs the twitter account could be a lot more professional and, although they're not representing the Trust, people who comment on posts with madcap theories are rarely challenged and I think it's something that could improve.I expected the mixed response when it was brought up. As I stated at the time it has to be a last resort. Like almost every Trust we have it on shelf somewhere ready should the time come along but right now we need to focus on saving what we’ve got. That’s the most important thing.

No, but the club you are on about supporting would be as much ccfc as they are.Neither could I. I don’t support Cov Sphinx or Cov United. 5k? All about opinions.
Those poor deluded Newport, Wimbledon and Aldershot fans who all think they follow the original club. I think MK even gave Wimbledon their FA Cup win memorabilia. Perhaps Wimbledon should give it back.It's not an opinion. It's fact that it wouldn't be the same club.
Otherwise if we get 10,000 people thinking that cov sphinx won the fa cup in 1987 does that make it true? They play in sky blue as well.
On all the farms by Corley or by the new Amazon place?

I agree with Rob about a reformation being best but I don't see that happening. I think something that would be really useful is for the trust to release a myth busting statement so we're all on the same page.
It's ok you could have the worship of David Johnson at half time while him and the bloke from the council pat each other on the back saying they did it all.I was at the Cheltenham game with 4 others as it's a close one for me. None of us would travel to Cov to see new club unless the circumstances were exceptional. To me that means anything and everything has been done to save the club we have, at the moment a lot of people on social media seem to relish the idea of a new club and I couldn't stomach supported the same team as people that delighted in the death of the one we have in a vain attempt at getting one over on our owners.
Why should it bother you so much? To you, your club is dead, gone finished forever. That is fine, that is your view. To me it is the same club and one that is hopefully flourishing. As to you CCFC will be dead and your interest in football greatly curtailed as you stated above, surely what deluded people like myself believe won’t make any difference to you. You could perhaps stand outside the Ricoh with a placard saying “You know this isn’t the real Coventry City” I suppose if it really bothered you that much.No, but the club you are on about supporting would be as much ccfc as they are.

The point I'm making though is that its not even mentioned. I'd happily help pay for and help distribute flyers as would many but this regime is more about ideas to try and hurt one party or another rather than promote what we have. Would it fill the ground probably not but ud rather go down trying that than protesting to groups who don't care about us. 20k crowds u til the end of the season would make people notice and some might even get the bug back.I’m not sure how filling the ground would result in a new deal at the Ricoh?
