Noticed on twitter that CJ and Roger were wishing each other a Happy New Year among with a certain Mr Fletcher
Yes there is, the FSA. Their National Council includes former Trust secretary Roger Ellis.
But the meetings are very infrequent these days, last one seems to have been 15th July (Key Points from the Open Discussion at the Sky Blue Trust AGM, 15th July, 2019 - see those points have all been addressed!), so the rest of the time its just the 4 or 5 people on the board. Not sure they ever even bothered to tell us who was on the board following the 'elections' last June. The only post on their website says who was nominated.That's the issue with 20 regulars meeting now and again becomes an echo chamber!!

Is Roger Ellis the one who was exposed during the Rochdale grooming scandal?

Would not surprise me that despite their denouncement of Mr Ellis, that he is still involved in the trust somehow. They are that much smoke and mirrors and secret handshakes and all, that we'll be none the wiser if he is....Noticed on twitter that CJ and Roger were wishing each other a Happy New Year among with a certain Mr Fletcher
Rochdale grooming scandal report: Ex-council boss told to give back £76k golden handshake...come again?
Additionally the intolerable level of personal insults and insinuations he has had to suffer in recent days now makes it impossible for him to continue in his position.
As I suspected .......The Trust issued a statement in July saying he'd resigned. However, this post is from 30th October and lists Roger as representing the Sky Blue Trust - New League One and Two Network representative elected - Football Supporters' Association
The elephant in the room is simply that the Ricoh was built for Coventry City Football Club but Coventry City Council have connived to sell it on generous terms (not the least of which is the length of the lease) to a formerly London-based rugby club. So there it stands, with its sky blue seats, while Coventry City have to play in Birmingham.
Anyone who purports to support CCFC and lends any tacit or overt sympathy to Wasps or the Council should hang their heads in shame. Like BBC CWR who interrupt the Sky Blues phone in to let Dai Young brag about turning the Ricoh into a fortress.
The whole thing is an absolute disgrace.
Yeah it's the same oneDo you mean if the Roger Ellis linked to Rochdale and the Roger Ellis who was sec of the Trust are the same person?
There’s a picture of him here Roger Ellis feels no 'personal culpability'
And his Twitter under the surname ‘Martin’ Roger Ellis (@RogerMartin145) on Twitter
Yeah taking photos of places mostly in Littleborough which is where I think he livesYeah it's the same one

No ,they’re all too busy posting profanities a talking shite on Sky Blues TalkHas anyone got the drive, or the time to start a different group that seems more in touch with fans?

Come out of your bedrooms,start leading normal lives and perhaps get other interests. I seriously worry about some on here’s mental stability
You were the poster who said we would have won Saturday’s game if it was an away one because the atmosphere was shite - despite us having a far better home recordNo ,they’re all too busy posting profanities a talking shite on Sky Blues Talk

As I say - FORGET The Ricoh.We should FORGET The Ricoh - it’s gone!
It’s owned by an organisation we should all despise so let’s let them keep it and watch them drown in a stinking stew of their own making.
We should steel ourselves for the difficult journey to a new stadium we own outright and try & learn lessons for the future.
The council have to take a large proportion of the blame and maybe this whole debacle will blow up in their faces too!
As I say - FORGET The Ricoh.
Ah, the old sky blue truss, eh? I have one around here somewhere...…….

Ah, here it is! Still works, as well!

Thanks for you email, we don’t currently have an open meeting planned at the minute, but the AGM will be in the summer in June/July.
I appreciate your email and the Trust have been trying to get Wasps to to relax their position, but in terms of getting them to drop the indemnity clause, is maybe beyond us. Wasps see their business being damaged deliberately by Sisu, and want reassurances for any deal.
When we first spoke to Wasps a deal was never going to happen, but we have softened their stance with our input, views and pleas. As things stand all parties have softened their positions with the exception of the club, if they’d only speak to us and allow us to bring all parties together.
In terms of the EU appeal, that cannot be ignored, the case is ongoing and the latest from Brussels is its under review, but with no date set for a decision.
If the case wasn’t there, there is nothing to stop a deal being done, regardless of any of the personalities involved in trying to strike a deal.
As a trust we just want the club back in Coventry!! And I know most fans to do!!
I hope that answers some of your questions
what do we think to that?
I can't get my head around the Trust at all. Wasn't Neil outed as saying fans were thick or idiots last year?
How come they enter into little to no dialogue on here? It makes sense that for anything to be succesful they've got to be open to debate and so on? They cant claim to represent the fans which such small numbers of membership compared to the amount of fans? Never see them at games? Never see them flyering or touting for memberships?
