Steve Brown: JS feels the ribbons are a great idea but I'm frightened to meet CCFC fans. Club is available at the right price

Frightened to meet the fans? that can't be true surely!

They need to give an indication of what the right price is. Any method of valuing the business would tell you it's pretty much worthless so you're not going to get offers of more than £1, the key will be what debt the purchaser wants written off.

so according to twitter Fisher now refuses to speak to the Trust and Joy is too frightened to meet the fans. Is there anyone who they're actually still talking to?

FL claim they never received 250 page document from SBT regarding SISU, SBT have proof of delivery (they've posted it on twitter, not sure how to put it on here)

Interesting about TF refusing to meet sky blue trust (I.e. the fans group) when they didn't help with the move...
He spouts on about acl not recognising Otium whilst in admin (which was correct), he isn't recognising the supporters groups. Prat

The trust is set up to own the club?

Steve (floor): No one knows what's going on. People of Cov don't seem to care about the club anymore. Struggle to get 5% of the population

It isn't as easy as a store though, there are many more retail stores than football stadiums. If he was a business man paying too much rent and not making enough back would he move?

not to somewhere a quarter the size with half the rent and 1/5th of the business. There is no logical business argument for what sisu have done

That is silver lining on the black cloud. It puts would be interested parties, the Hoffman crowd, Heskell, this Byng bloke on the spot a bit. That statement needs pushing for an answer

I'd hope they wouldn't be tbh. It wouldn't help the Trust remain in dialogue with all sides, if one of the sides were to turn up to their open meetings!

Anyway, I'm not there said Mondays weren't ideal...

Just got back.

I think the message to the board about the need for balance in the message. At first they seemed a bit reluctant claiming they're not Sisu Out as an organisation but I think after several members raised concerns they accepted that they need to be "whiter than white" with their impartiality.

As someone who follows the trust fairly closely there was nothing new as such for me, but maybe it would be for others (story of guy seeing Seppala, etc).

There was one comment from a member that he asked not to be minuted about the relationship between the Telegraph and the club. But I'll respect his wish to not have it aired in public (apart from being a blatant cock tease ).

Was very even in views and the board took everything on board (no pun intended).

There was a guy who I thought might be you NW, he had very similar views.

Not me ;-)

Very glad to hear the message about balance and impartiality is sinking in, though.

Agreed, does the trust no favours to hang their flag on one particular side

I think the people who blamed ACL there were a little out of touch with reality-shy of gifting the stadium back, what else can actually be done to change SISU's mind? Which was the jist of what I managed to put forward tonight.

Ah great to put a name to a face Iain! Sorry if it's a very brief account of your (and other fans') views. 140 characters rule is an erm... 'Bryan Richardson'.

Thanks go out to everyone that came tonight. Getting your views is vital to achieving the Trusts' aims and objectives. No matter what side you're on I'm pretty sure we can all agree fans matter and have been blatantly disregarded in the last few years.

No price given, probably too much for a third tier side with no ground sponsors or following. What is it really worth not a lot I would have thought but they will want 10's ofmillions.

Why don't you do it then no one else can get anything out of them maybe you will be the lucky one.

What part of they won't speak to us don't you understand?

The trust have phoned sent E-Mails but to no avail.
