Good to see one of the council accounts straight on it
Doesn't really answer the question though does it?So no one else has to bother listening the answer is (twice): “that’s a matter for the football club, not the city council”
Doesn't really answer the question though does it?
Council have provided land to a developer for a hotel, actually twice as they've also done it in the city centre. It would appear, from the information available, that on both occasions the council has identified land for a hotel and then approached developers offering them a preferential deal. With the football club it seems they are sitting back doing the minimum required by law, ie if an application is submitted it will be considered.
Maybe the question needs to be phrased different. 'Is there anything preventing the council identifying a suitable site for a stadium and offering it to the football club?'.
That's before you even consider the councils failure to respond regarding a site the club has approached them about.
Sisu : so Coventry city Council we've identified land and will build there if that's OK with you.
Council.: that's a matter for you not for us
SISU : cheers we will start tomorrow
That's how moronic the answer given to gilbert is
Vote the sods out I say!!!
It's exactly why they should be pressured and hassled along with SISU.
O'Boyle got flustered by the question
Which makes it all the more surprising they seem unprepared for it and unable to respond with a decent answer. Or maybe they're just safe in the knowledge whatever answer they give it won't be questioned or followed up on.It must be the one question they are constantly being asked they must be hating it
I get a warm glow each mth when I see £100+ taken from my bank to support Council services.

Sounds to me that they’ve been given a line by legal while the EU case is ongoing TBH.
Not a very good one.
how can i not be a case for the council?
the cunts dont reply and do not want a new stadium built as it it will mean they lose any control vs sisu
I don't understand why they don't do what many people on here have suggested and call sisus bluff, , identify a piece of land and tell them to crack on.
It's a win win, either put to bed to whole new stadium saga for good or the city gets a spanking new stadium and a load of jobs created locally.
i vote for independants every time! Get a few more of those in and it upsets the voting balance in the Council sessionsDoesn’t matter the other sides are no better
No chance in this city
It is why it was very frustrating we voted against having an elected mayor. In that system you have an individual who is directly accountable to the electorate. People can stand against that individual on a level playing field, and in a direct election like that a candidate could win easy votes if they ran on a platform of being pro CCFC. It may not win them the election on its own, but it would be low hanging fruit as far and gaining extra votes is concerned, and they would then be under pressure to deliver.
Duggins is pretty much untouchable. The only people who can remove him are his own colleagues in reality. He is in a very safe seat, and because only a handful of seats are contested each year, it is impossible to get any traction or effect any real change at any one
His Longford seat is up for grabs this May good opportunity for an independent on a Ricoh ticket to challenge, should be plenty of interest on here.It is why it was very frustrating we voted against having an elected mayor.

The good campaign is the major sticking point!Yeah, that's probably the best option. Forget trying to gain multiple seats on the council and focus solely on that one seat and cause a bit of a fuss. Would need a good candidate with a lot of backing. Ultimately you're reliant on the electorate in one ward, but with a good campaign, even if the candidate didn't have a realistic chance of winning outright, they would potentially split the vote and maybe create enough fear for Duggins to change his stance. Just need that one person to step up I guess.
