Whose conclusion? Not mine. Out of CCC, Wasps and CCFC which is suffering the most ?
St Andrews confirmed! (7 Viewers)

I only manage to get to a few games each season. The extra few miles on my journey from Dorset won't stop me from going to St. Andrews.

No, he is saying boycott CCFC to make people angry at Wasps.
We could never apply enough pressure and even if we could we could do it without letting the club go under!

Thanks for sticking up for me, Chief!
I can't commit to the number of matches that justify a season ticket, but i'll try to get to as many games there as i did at the W*sps Nest.
By the way, can we have all our signage and dark blue seats back - their continued use of them would clearly breach copyright infringement of the club crest and motto?
If games are Friday or Sunday then does that mean they can be on ifollow?

Villa and Blues have been known to play at home on the same day on occasion (when we played Blues in the cup a few years back, Villa were home to Blackburn), so I doubt it will be an issue. At Northampton, the majority of our fixtures were on a Saturday, so I am sure that will be the case next season, but there will be the odd Friday/Sunday fixture I guess.

No one has mentioned the £1m bond payable to the EFL or have I got that wrong from their statement? What is that for???

Maybe on Greyfriars Green like they were going to for the England games in the World Cup last year, but then the council licensing team fucked it up and they were shown on the Piazza at Warwick Uni - now THERE'S a thought - whole new band of fans. Certainly get our visibility up in China and the like (based on statistics of student demographic, by the way, not casual racism or student hatred)

Fucking gutted. Fuck all of them.
I said I would go to St. Andrews but I don't know if I can face it.
I'll give myself a couple of days to calm down and see how I feel.
Wonder what route there is for us to get back in to Cov now?

I'm sure he'll be quick to question Wasps about the fact we have seen repeated statements explicitly stating SISU offered to sign legal documents confirming no more legal action.

I wonder if they still stand now they have been signed?

I wonder if any Wasps supporters have actually communicated to the club in anyway that they don't support the action being taken by Wasps?

These releases were probably written by their 13 year old secretary.
That’s the real worry, I think. Is it at all feasible that we could build another stadium?

It's hilarious how many people on socialmedia with names like @ccfcfan and @skyblueloyalist are now officially 'done' supporting the team.

Nothing is bigger than the team.
The shite we’ve had to go through as CCFC fans is now getting beyond measurable. Once again we are a fucking laughing stock and in the doldrums.
The thing that pains me the most is that this has happened at a time when it’s really felt like we are turning a corner on the pitch and the player/manager bond with fans was at an all time high.

A few hours later and apart from a few carefully chosen retweets have our wonderful Trust put anything out there? Seriously what is the point of these fkwits apart from to cause trouble and divisions whilst purporting to represent us. They need to disband and they need to do it now. Not one positive thing has come from them ever.
I think there are free tools online to help asses if an account is a bot. Worth somebody looking into.

Ok.. this is all too much. Change the team name to Birmingham Nomads. It’s disgusting that Coventry City does not play in the City. Good luck to those with a greater resolve than me..
Unbelievable mismanagement of a once great club. The beauty of following city years ago was that it was just about the ball. Now many young people will again be disengaged from what it is to be a Coventry City supporter.
Pathetic. It hurts. Bad.

Using the logic of the council, Wasps etc a couple of years out of the city means 100 plus years of history in the bin and we're now classed as nomadic.
We should move halfway across the country permanently, sure that would be applauded.

Fucking gutted to be honest, although St Andrews was mentioned lots I thought we would be staying but not to be. Dark day for the club and another wave of fans hanging up their scarves for home games.
Most on that page didn't give a shit for us so I don't think they care to be honest.

Funnily enough he is pushing the same as Gilbert, SISU refused to halt legals.
So again, what's this?
Wasps always said they would never start talks until legals were halted, so why did they get so close to a deal if legals weren't halted?

The following statement has been issued by Coventry City's Owners SISU this afternoon:
As previously reported, Wasps insisted SISU sign a legal undertaking before they would participate in discussions with CCFC. SISU signed this undertaking in April to irrevocably cease all proceedings against Wasps relating to the sale and lease of the Ricoh Arena. Wasps then entered into commercial discussions with CCFC to allow the Club to continue to play for a limited time; however, not the five years we wanted.
Following agreement on commercials, Wasps demanded a further agreement to be signed both by the Football Club and SISU. This agreement introduced conditions that would unreasonably restrict the Club and SISU’s basic legal rights and would commit the Club and SISU to underwrite Wasps’ costs and any future damages. This would put the Football Club at great risk and jeopardise its future and in so doing, undermine the hard-work and success the Club has achieved over the past few seasons.
Importantly, we were willing to provide an indemnity to confirm we have acted in good faith to the extent Wasps were willing to provide the same; they would not agree to such a clause. Additionally, as negotiations continued, Wasps repeatedly moved further away from their previous stances, indicating they had no desire to agree a deal.
This is regrettable but under the circumstances an unavoidable position for CCFC; however, SISU remains committed to the long-term success of the Club. Playing in Birmingham is not a decision we would choose or want to make; sadly the decision was made for us.
We sympathise with and sincerely apologise to all Coventry City supporters for this and the heartache caused. We have had numerous discussions with Mark Robins to ensure the short-term ground share will provide him with a suitable location to build on last season’s success.
Unfortunately, the Council’s decision to sell the stadium to Wasps and prevent CCFC from participating in the sale process has empowered Wasps to take this position against CCFC.
Until Coventry City owns its own stadium, it will be at the mercy of a conflicted landlord, imposing onerous demands and conditions as a requirement for any deal.
SISU remains committed to providing CCFC with its own stadium in the Coventry area. We are grateful to the EFL for their support and patience in this matter and will continue to work closely with them throughout the planning and development process. We will provide CCFC with all the assistance required to enable the Club to return to the Coventry area, in a stadium it and its fans can again finally call home.

I've noticed he will no longer engage with anyone who points out factual errors.
