It looks like the shareholders were offered 1p per share and one "b" share in CCFC holdings.
There are 295 people registered as "b" shareholders.

how typical of Coventry fans !
Each to their own opinion, support the boycott or do not it is for each to make their own choice - i have no problem with that.
However do not berate those that try to take some action nor lecture them on what should be done when not getting involved yourselves. If you think some action or other should be taken then get involved and help to make it happen. Or if you think it is pointless, thats fine, state your opinion and why but do not have the gall to say "i wont do anything but this is what you should do"
The best the boycott can do is raise awareness, anyone thinking it would achieve more are kidding themselves - SOC set out to raise awareness and it has. It is newly formed and plans for the future are understandably at an early stage - it also depends on a democratic process at meetings and whether support for it remains. I think you will find Jan and Brinner etc are trying best they can to keep as low a profile as possible BUT some one has to lead it or nothing will get done. Most recent CCFC articles in CT and on CWR/Mercia have referred to it, National news papers have taken some interest because of it, Talk sport through Keys refers to it, Local TV will take an interest in it. The organisers have been pretty clear as to who they are protesting against.
It isnt going to be a national or global campaign very few if any clubs can tap into such PR - but it is what a small group of passionate and loyal Skyblue supporters feel they can do. They should be applauded for at least doing something not ridiculed as by some. SOC has always made it clear that they respect the feelings of those who do not wish to boycott that respect should be reciprocated - we are all Sky Blues fans arent we ???
Of course it wont get rid of SISU if you thought such fan actions ever would you are somewhat out of touch. The only thing that will change this situation is money (one way or another) but that doesnt mean fans should not make their feelings know and in a way that it gets noticed. Support isnt always about sitting in the stands watching - nor does doing that make you a "real" fan, there are no "real" fans, there is no order of merit in being a fan, there are no qualifications to it.......... we are just fans and each must make their own decision as to how as a fan they can best serve the team we all love
Why should any supporter blindly back any owner or potential invester or new owner - lack of transparency and blind trust helped get us here in the first place. We know nothing of GH's proposals so no one can back them or not. Personally if I was in secretive detailed talks to purchase I would not be discussing the details with anyone other than those directly involved let alone a newly formed fans group!
Some of the comments I have seen here come over almost as being personal against those who organise the boycott and only weaken our fans unity - very disappointed by that. Choose your own way to support the club but have the humility to accept others may see it differently - that doesnt make them less worthy, foolish or less of a fan, respect their view that they feel they can do something - however small that thing may seem to you. Doesnt make you or them wrong

Good to see that you're not giving wholehearted backing to any(if any) bids for the club without knowing anything about it, already been out of one frying pan into the fire, do it again and we'll be charcoal.

Post 37 was more common sense from OSB. OSB, do you fancy being on the board? I wish it could happen!

Only if I was given real power and backing to sort it out SBD - never going to happen though is it. To be honest I dont think I could deal with the frustration of dealing with SISU & the current board, the secrecy and politics would drive me nuts, and no doubt there would be those here etc that would see me as a SISU puppet whatever I did :facepalm: - so I think I will have to pass on that. Thanks for the vote of confidence though

So many keen to shoot others down ,just because they're there to be shot at,like the lads that are organising the Boycott.the "BOYCOTT " is intended to be the "FULL BOYCOTT" ,however ,as there are no prima donna's behind it and from a sense of inclusivity,input from one attendee at the meeting centred on feeling uncomfortable doing the whole boycott ,it was his suggestion to do 15 mins,and because no one was /is trying to elevate themselves in any way ,as it was aloose gathering of concerned supporters ,without as yet any structure ,his request was adopted ,if this has lead to a sense of losing focus, thats a shame ,for all others there it will be "THE FULL BOYCOTT".

As long as it's not "The Full Monty".
Though may keep more people away from the game thinking about it.
