No! And as for that ex Lord Mayor Maton or whatever his name wasTo let bygones be bygones?
Or does the generation of councillors who showed such disdain for the club have to have moved on?
Rachel Lancaster spoke with such pride about the club at the Lord Mayors service and it seemed genuine

This.It won't be anywhere near time until they, at the very minimum, apologise for the part they played in trying to kill the club.

Just let things unfold.
A bloke I know has messaged a group I’m in: “Cov in the premier league. Amazing”!They are in the same category as fans who went to watch Wasps. Not going to forget any of it.
Stick them in the stocks and charge £1 per sky blue tomato to chuck at them. If they're really feeling repentant they'd happily contribute to our PL transfer war chest.The council leaders that conspired to ruin the club should be paraded in front of the fans at the promotion party and asked to apologise for their poor decision making and malice towards the success of the football team also to the detriment of Coventry Rugby club. Then maybe we can start again.
There's a constant tendency on here to paint things in black and white. In this context, IMO you really can't refer to "The Council" as if it always was and always will be a single entity that is anti-CCFC, any more than you can describe thousands of fans of other teams as "tractor c*nts" or whatever. Good and bad can be found anywhere you care to look for it.
Probably unwise for Pete to even bring it up at a time like this, because it just invites simplistic belligerence when we should all just be so happy.
Fair comments, especially about failure to recognise the value of the club to the community (they can hardly overlook it now!).The problem is the council over many years and different political parties have never embraced the club as a vital part of the community
Refusing plans to extend HR, getting the stadium built with applied pressure on the club, unworkable rent arrangements, deciding the new owner and that’s before the antoginism started

Doug doesn't have the bad history we do with them. Good that he has a good relationship, we need that. Doesn't mean we have to forget their part in what we've been through. Given where we are now though, I'm willing to forgive and move forward.They talked like it was and recognised it but actions didn’t match
Doug seems to have a good relationship

This ^^^Said it at the time and I’ll say it again now.
No other council in the country would have done what Coventry’s did to their home City Football Club.
Just wouldn’t have happened.
Yet officers and leaders of Coventry Council not just once but several times tried to destabilise our club.
All in the name of greed and power. Using underhand and nefarious tactics-lying and making false promises, which swayed a number of our ‘supporters’ to join them.
Paying public money to employ a London PR team to make personal attacks (SISU apologists anyone?) and to destabilise the fan base on public platforms (like this one). Even to go as far as personal attacks (that went as far as trying to get them sacked from their jobs because of their anti council opinions) on members of this forum.
I have no idea how the club survived but it did and it has thrived, despite the huge disadvantage of having little or no home Council support.
As @Liquid Gold has already said-a public apology and a statement of intent from the council about making wrong decisions in the past and a willingness to work with the club in the future will heal some wounds.
