The words that stuck in my throat when reading the article was 'Congratulations to OUR brilliant Sky Blues' fuck off you bunch of piss infested wankers, you're nothing to do with the success of this club

Rachel Lancaster spoke with such pride about the club at the Lord Mayors service and it seemed genuine

They still hold the lease on the stadium don’t they?
Let them present the lease free,to the club as a gesture of goodwill.
Then the generation of fans who lived through what they did, may feel inclined to forgive.

I've had mixed feelings about this since Pete started the thread.

I'm not sure the council ever hated the Club itself and it was more feck SISU at all costs. The Club ended up being a casualty of their fight with Joy, Fisher and their posse of lawyers. That's not to say they aren't without blame. The actions of Maton, Duggins and Lucas in particular were disgraceful but it was years ago and it's time too move on or you end up bitter and twisted.

People in councils change and they have now offered the club "Freedom of the City" Actions speak louder than words and even if they did apologise there would be plenty of people who would say it was a political move rather than a heartfelt apology.

For some reason sorry really does seem to be the hardest word

Agree with this party, but until there's an apology I don't think anyone will truly forgive that smug bastard Maton

Guess it depends somewhat of where it could leave them legally, should of just stayed out of it all,in the past all that between, then now.

Just read Duggins statement that's part of the press release for the Memorial park shin dig, genuinely sickening. The man's a fucking sociopath.

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.

Okay but someone needs to have a little word in Doug's ear, THE COUNCIL CANNOT BE TRUSTED.

It isn't just what happened at the time that had an effect on us. We have also had to take out a massive mortgage on the ground that made Ashley a lot of money so we will feel the effects for many years to come.

Seems like the replies you are getting state that for 99.9 % of us, it will be some time. Maybe just before hell freezes over.

How much the club means to the community blah, blah blah.
Neglects to say he values it that much he tried to kill it

Grnuine question, did any other party present anything pro CCFC in their manifestos?

I can vaguely recall a city fan standing as an independent but my memory could be playing tricks

The club now under new ownership is clearly trying to move on and build bridges which is fair enough as a frosty relationship with the local authority helps no one and achieves nothing

The supporters will be less forgiving and I can't lie it will be pretty sickening to see some of the people complicit in the demise of the club jump on the gravy train when a few Premier League freebies are on offer

I personally can never forget what they did to us, we are so lucky that London Wasps were too thick to make a success of owning that stadium and Covid come along to speed up their demise, if we were still their tenants I dread to think what would have ended up happening
