Who's this guy now on about the Coventry Phoenix Supporters Trust?

Another close to ranting on the phone not really talking much sense.

Do they have a twitter page or anything? Did I hear correct they've just set up in the last 24 hours?

New Stadium has always been an ambition, but as a football club they need to take stock and see what can be done when it comes.

That’s the only bit I’m interested in. What is “it” that needs to come? Are we no longer looking? Is it an “ambition” now and not a “plan”? Seems like a downgrade to me.

Can you give any more detail about what he said there?

Never heard of the Phoenix Supporters Trust. What's that all about? Is it just a supporters club like the Leamington and Warwick thing Juggy set up or are they looking to take over the Trust's role? If its the later why don't those involved just stand for election of the existing Trust?

Isn’t Trust a protected term? You can’t just set up a Supporters Trust I though?

Think you need to do a lot more than setup a twitter account
Supporters Direct said:
How do we set up a Supporters’ Trust?
Should the motives be in keeping with the objects of Supporters Direct and our members, and there be enough interest from supporters of a Club to make it a success, SD will help you through the process of establishing a Trust.
The process takes time to ensure it is the right decision and fits within the existing supporter landscape. Ultimately it will require a majority vote from a public meeting of supporters to go ahead.
SD will provide the expertise and development officer time to move on the process, attending meetings of the working group, speaking at the public meeting as well as meeting the cost of registration.

I’m sure I remember someone at the Trust telling me they could be only one per club and that they had to resurrect the old one when they wanted to get one going.

He didnt really go into much detail to be honest. Just said its an ambition but he needs to sort out the here and now.

Much more refreshing than Fisher who would have gone on for 30 minutes about it.

He sounded a bit random to be honest. As if he had 10,000 fans locked away he could release to SISU.

Come to think of it, he also said he wanted to get in touch with CCFC but didnt have their details. Exactly like Dale Evans...

Hopefully the press releases regarding this deal and the huge difference in tone will be a wake up call for our supporters. OSB has already highlighted the most relevant part.

There you have it, by Wasps own admission, they will quite happily kick us out despite the assurances from CCC at the time of the ACL sale that a condition was no negative impact on the football club.

There you have it by Wasps own admission, they will quite happily tell SISU you have 12 months to Fuckin do something regarding our ‘new’ ground, or get rid of the legals and sign a long term at the Ricoh or shut the fuck up and fuck off!!

A one year deal doesn't surprise me. Nothing really moved forward though.

JR2 in May. Assuming that SISU lose that, their lodge of appeal will take us towards the end of the year. Even if they lose the appeal, the civil action may then begin in the new year. This will not have gone away by next year.

The point of torture is not not finish the victim off to early.

I reckon Boddy would do Eastwood in a fight if it came to it. :) Idea there for some shared revenue in the Exhibition hall ;)

It will be interesting when both sets of accounts come out to see if Wasps are rolling it and don't need us there. Seem to remember a certain council leader saying that last time.

They have started from the ccfc facebook page.
They are saying no membership just pass them your questions and they will get them answered.
So simple why has it not been done before.;)
