Cos it's specially brewed gnats' piss.
Why is the beer so expensive?
Can you ask about Henry Winters article which refers to news today (apparently) that the club have confirmed a new complex with training facilities within 8 miles of the city centre and in the next 4/5 years?
Does the club have a strategy to combat the lack of confidence in it from its stakeholders?
With the majority of playing contracts ending the end of this season, plus the manager only contracted until then also, can the club reassure fans of an ongoing commitment to fund the club for 4-5 seasons?
Moving forward, and outside of matchdays, how does the club see its role in the Coventry community? Does it have any forthcoming initiatives to engage with the community?
Thanks for all the questions - vast majority sensible and constructive - I will try and get as many as possible raised and answered. Just to add Tony Mowbray is scheduled to come to the SCG meeting so if anyone has any questions for him I may be able to ask them (no guarantees as it may just be a fleeting meet and greet visit with no chance for questions)
Funny you should mention the size of the crests but city wouldn't pay for bigger ones.
as usual you get what you pay for?.....

Will there be a pay monthly option next year on ST's, will there be early bird.
What is the player recruitment policy now ie loans, short term contracts etc. bearing in mind the new manager who I believe will take little shite and if buggeed about wouldn't hesitate to do another Mark Robins.

Will we see a return to electronic season tickets ? I bloody hate the paper one
I appreciate this is probably only an issue that annoys me but can they speak to ACL / Wasps and find a better way of doing the pitch markings. In the World Cup there was lots of talk of the grass being spray painted, can they do something like that to get rid of the rugby pitch markings for our matches. Makes me annoyed everytime I see them, it's like a constant reminder of the mess we're in.
Also, whilst I appreciate SISUs stance is we are moving out, can something be done in the meantime to give us equal billing, eg: our club crests being the same size as Wasps?
how about once and for all who would own the stadium? The football club or would we again be in a tenancy situation?
JS said in an interview a couple of years ago
“I am not concerned about the funding of a stadium. I’m reasonable comfortable that won’t be an issue.
Mrs Seppala said she anticipated the stadium would require 40pc equity (cash) with the rest borrowed, and added: “I have got people who are more than happy to fund that. I’m having discussions all the time with investors.” She said investors included wealthy families and financial institutions, including pension funds. Is this still the plan?
If the new stadium isn't off the table for this meeting could the club explain why the statement from Rugby council is so different from their version of events.
Jan my main gripe isn't the performances or the results but the whole matchday experience at the Ricoh, especially post WASPS getting our stadium. The poor results and performances have lead to dwindling crowds which have impacted on the atmosphere what are the club going to do about bringing back the lost fans and improving the atmosphere.
Also that stall in the JSB area selling merchandise is an utter embarrassment and shows how low we have sunk,
Tim Fisher insisted that meetings took place and he didn't understand how councils reported officers meetings internally but didn't want to make an issue of it as that might embarass Rugby council and they want to be able to work in cooperation with them in the future. Also stated that the rejection of the Coventry Gateway plan by Eric Pickles was a setback for the plans.
Sorry that couldn't get answers to all questions but large part of meeting time was taken with SCG being introduced to Mowbray and Tim Fisher trying to explain financial results. Minutes of meeting will be issued on club website, Trust website and CovMad websites in due course.
Coventry Airport.
I assume there was not an opportunity to ask questions along the line of...
If the club currently have 30-40 million debt. How much will it be once a new stadium is built? (70-80 million?)
If the current interest is about 1.5 million will that effectively double? Does the interest charged affect FFP?
Once the stadium is built what is SISU's end game for getting their investment back as this will now presumedly mean getting 70-80 million back not 30-40 million?
Why keep droning on about the stadium?
The answer has been given a million times.

The financial case/burden for the stadium has never been explained except that its always justified by "need all revenues because of SCMP/FFP". It has been pointed out to Tim Fisher that this would be a good starting point. He has promised a conference call in next few days to answer questions about the recently published accounts - will try and get some input into what to ask from OSB and Godiva as they seem to be our resident account gurus!
