To 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
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.

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.

7th May, let's get rid of this fuckin Council, time for change.
Fuck em.
Don’t be silly! You know what the great Coventry public is like-pin a red rosette on a wheelie bin and they’ll vote for it.
