    An open letter to Joy by PSB Group

    It's probably going to have to come to something like a season ticket holders boycott to have any effect. SISU have never given any impression that they care about what happens on the pitch. I think CCFC is just a cog in their financial empire, indeed they may prefer us to be in a lower league...

    How much would you want Sisu?

    I suspect that SISU want to acquire the Ricoh (and possibly surrounding land) for a song not because they want to run a football club but because they want to sell it and raise the money to repay their investors. Nobody has ever got a sniff of who their investors are, makes you wonder, doesn't...

    Shareholder's meeting.

    I don't see any scenario in which this will end well for the football club. Even if the Council capitulated tomorrow and handed over the keys to the Ricoh, together with the surrounding land, I believe that any monies SISU would generate from stadium operations and development of the land would...

    City vs Wolves

    That's right, who could forget Wolves at HR in April 1967

    How long do we wait to form a breakaway club?

    I think when the JR appeal is determined we will have a better idea what direction things are heading in. If the appeal is dismissed, SISU's chance of owning the Ricoh on their terms is reduced, and they may be forced down the new stadium route. If the appeal is upheld I think it will herald a...

    Key Quotes from Reid/Seppala

    It looks to me as if fans are faced with two choices: 1. Accept, if reluctantly that SISU are here for the long haul, and will do things their way. They are clearly unaffected by any protest campaign which seems unlikely to divert them from their chosen path. Trust that they will build a new...

    We are not the only ones with a concern for the future !

    Sounds like a good idea. If the Ricoh was made a Community Asset it would have the possible effect of killing SISU's interest in acquiring the stadium irrespective of the outcome of the Judicial Review Appeal. That could lead to SISU actually being forced to build a new stadium (which I don't...

    Coventry Rugby Club

    For centuries before the first meeting of the Football Association in The Freemasons' Tavern on [Great Queen Street], London on 26 October 1863, there were no universally accepted rules for playing football. In each public school the game was formalised according to local conditions; but when...

    Coventry Rugby Club

    During the early 19th century, most working class people in Britain had to work six days a week, often for over twelve hours a day. They had neither the time nor the inclination to engage in sport for recreation and, at the time, many children were part of the labour force. Feast day football...

    Don't think that's right, think football and rugby had different roots

    Can Fan Power influence the Council

    I thought SISU or Seppala said she would only come back to the negotiating table if ownership of the Ricoh was on offer ? Clearly the Council/Higgs are not prepared to offer that, so it would appear they have nothing to discuss.

    we need a leader

    That's the whole problem with SISU. They have surrounded themselves with a wall of legal protection. Nobody can get close enough to them to make them feel the pressure, or get them on the defensive. I will be interested to see what happens with the appeal against the Judicial Review. If it...

    Human rights

    When I first read this thread, like most people, my first reaction was to chuckle. However, thinking about it, these are the areas that offer the best opportunity to get at SISU. It might be worth it if someone on here has a contact with a Human Rights lawyer to ask the question. There are...

    Watch this space....

    After the FL admission, they now have to bite the bullet and rectify their mistakes. If it means crossing swords with SISU, tough, they should have got it right first time.
