The Valuation Office (Central Govt) has told Coventry City Council to pay back £399k to club. That hasn’t happened yet so we are issuing legal proceedings against the council to recover the monies owed.
Sounds like a nice cosy meeting.
He wants a mixture of seating and standing?
Well he obviously has no aim of being in the top two divisions then.

The questions start getting a bit difficult and suddenly Timothy has to leave for another meeting? So either he can't give enough time for something as important as this or.....
Interesting additions at the end:
Can you add clarity to the ‘Free’ Offer from ACL?
ACL are mixing match day costs and rent.
At Northampton, Rent includes; all stadium related first team match day services including pitch maintenance, utilities, refuse collection and covers the following facilities - the pitch, the stadium, the stadium seating, the changing rooms, hospitality suites and banqueting areas, match day staff facilities, media facilities.
The stadium also provide all catering staff, all grounds men. The licensee (the club) separately provide stewards, crowd doctor, crowd ambulance, player ambulance.
The ACL proposal comprised a license fee of per match plus match day costs, defined as charges to maintain and manage pitch, utilities, waste, hygiene, match day stadium maintenance salaries, statutory service contracts. The total is north of 12K per match. This is, of course, rent/facility fee.
What is the financial justification of playing at Northampton?
The original rationale and premise for Sixfields was the ensuring an ability to fulfil our fixtures. Without this the club would have catastrophically failed. The rationale for Northampton is not financially driven in the short term.
Any return to the Ricoh on an interim rental deal would be very difficult. Notwithstanding, the improper purpose, the un-connected creditor put down the club for a mere 200K monies owed - caused a 20 point loss and threatened the club's very existence.
What do you mean by that?
sorry - the scg has let the fans down -not one paxman style question
fisher off the hook again

Can the real SBT please stand up..
TF – What does the Sky Blue Trust (SBT) statement of 2nd August mean? We beseech the football league not to give the golden share to Otium. Club comes first and always has. We had to save the club on 2nd August. As said before, the FL were prepared to have 71 teams for one year so we had to act and move the club to ensure that we could fulfil our fixtures.
Indeed by making such irresponsible statements as that of 2nd August then the fans are being totally mislead. I am angry and sorry for Coventry fans. I travel by train where possible to try and speak to and engage with as many fans as I can. The fans in the SBT are lions led by donkeys. The SBT needs leadership.
SB – We cannot control the fans in the SBT – there are extreme factions. But we are making changes eg John Fletcher leaving
What confuses me was Steve's reply.
It wasn't the fans writing statements on behalf of the trust, but I do think the trust are getting more professional.
Safe standing is being seriously considered in the top divisions.

And I suppose that the FL would bend the rules for SISU yet again.
If standing is introduced by the time we make it to the Premiership, then we're ahead of the game. If not, then we convert the standing area to seats. No problem.
Everyone is well up for safe standing............... until SISU suggest it.

What do you mean by that?
I'd love a Safe Standing type ground, it's better for an atmosphere.
Not suggest it. Make out as though a stadium would be built with it more like. It is accepted at the level we are now at. So look at the other side of the coin and tell me what that says?
SCG are the fans?
He's giving out the obvious fans 'likes' but not giving you any information of relevance.
Don't be fooled.
They accept that we are a league one club? Probably a good 5 years minimum away from the premiership. What's wrong with facing reality?

Tim Fisher said:I won’t chair stadium consultation. The group will be chaired by someone independent who is a huge Coventry fan and not necessarily a supporter of SISU.
