Stuart, it doesn't make financial sense for Mr Fisher to keep us at sixfields. Why is he not entertaining a 3/5 year deal to rent the Ricoh WHILE he builds the new ground - they will make more on the gate than they ever could at Northampton, no matter how drunk the fans get or how many pies they eat.

Honest opinion, what is his hidden agenda?

Do you think the 'online reputation management' work done for ACL by Weber Shandwick is worth the £600 per hour it costs?

You said on Saturday there were 40 there, yet 100 counted.
Why did you mention about a fence getting damaged yet the police knew nothing about it. How o you damage an 8ft metal fence?

I would personally like nothing better than to see CCFC back at the Ricoh, but I fully understand there would be a lot of negotiation (& more) involved before that could happen.

Not for me to express an opinion other than to say that if there are those other than Sisu who genuinely have the wherewithal to make an offer to the current owners then surely they should do so.

Their reasons for doing what they're doing are well documented, and they say they have a long-term plan which, currently, does not involve the Ricoh.

We were told that we would see plans, drawings of the new ground but weeks later and nothing, have you or anyone you know of seen any?
Click to expand...

No, but I would be very surprised if they were available now. Quite a time to go before we see anything like that, I would have thought.

I have no idea whether he has a hidden agenda, and if he does, I have no idea what it is. So far as I know, there is no deal on offer that would see the current owners return the club to the Ricoh, permanently or temporarily.

I don't kno him, although I think he has appeared as a "fan of the week" when I've hosted the Friday night phone-in once. Otherwise, never met him.

ACL are not going to broker a deal so why does TF not pick the phone up to the and show he cares what the fans want.

This is pointless - sorry. Send a reporter to Sixfields to talk to the fans. Don't rely on phone ins.

Click to expand...

The 40 figure was provided by the police. The fence that was damaged the week before was a wooden fence and it was made clear that no one has claimed it was damage caused by anyone associated with Coventry City, but that it was spotted and dealt with immediately after that Sunday's match. It may not have been reported to the police.

Mr Fisher is as entitled as anyone else to contact the show at any time, as are all others involved in all this.

I honestly believe we have an excelleng chance of doing so. Stephen Pressley's reputation of working with and developing young players when he was in Scotland is being borne out with Coventry City. Every reason to believe that he will being us success.

I am always interested to hear all opinions; there is a logistical problem for us in directly getting to the hill to obtaining the views of those there, but one or more could always phone the show either before or after a match. That's the easiest way of doing it.
Click to expand...

What logistical problems? Are you seriously suggesting cwr is unable to send a reporter up a hill to record opinion?

In terms of resolution what do you:

a) consider the most likely outcome at this point in time?

b) consider the most preferable outcome?

And what do you consider can be done to encourage b)

You see that is just what is wrong with so much of the debate. No one says you have to like anyone, but there really is no reason to use terms like that, whoever you're talking about.

Personally, using this site as a barometer of fan's feelings (though this site may not be representative as it is full of frothing mentalists), I'd say it's been a bargain.

I've followed them for more than 40 years, and like many others, had my allegiance tested severely many times.

My opinion is that this is an appalling situation that should never have been allowed to occur, but there are many directions in which to point the finger of blame.
