    latest SCG

    There was an SCG meeting a few weeks ago - station fiasco was not known at that time therefore was not discussed however I am sure it will come up at the next meeting which is scheduled for 8th Sept. Minutes of last meeting available here...

    "Top class" player wants to come to City according to Mowbray.

    Isn't it refreshing to be talking about football instead of the continuous boring fingerpointing blame game that some prefer to spout on and on about

    "Top class" player wants to come to City according to Mowbray.

    Maybe he's phoning around everyone not just Mowbray? Maybe he sees what Mowbray could build here and fancies being part of awakening a sleeping giant? Maybe wants to end career as a hero not a thug? Probably just bollox but nice to imagine some quality joining after years of dross

    "Top class" player wants to come to City according to Mowbray.

    Wild left field hangover thought - midfieldet whos played all career in premiership and championship earned a fortune and currently unattatched - joey barton! Sure we couldn't pay him for a month what he earned at QPR in a day but if he's willing to play for peanuts then ....... hell it was just...

    Waggot

    From what Waggott told SCG it is a possibility as the player budget is a percentage of the budget he has submitted to FL - if we are not achieving that budget and can show no reason why we would achieve it (ie no initiatives being introduced etc) then FL could place us in embargo, although he...

    Southend away moved to Monday

    Reason this has been moved is because it clashes with the Insomnia gaming event at the Ricoh that weekend and therefore a lot of the corporate space was unavailable to CCFC as it had already been sold to Insomnia or was simply inaccessible - and also there were some concerns from the health and...

    Well Done CCFC - Another First

    Sure some of you are aware of the FSF Twentys Plenty campaign to peg ticket prices to a maximum of £20 for away supporters to encourage more travelling fans and create a better atmosphere in grounds. CCFC are the first club to pledge their commitment to this campaign - well done CCFC a positive...

    SCG Meeting

    I believe there is room for both organisations - the Trust has an important role in being a critical friend of the club, looking at the bigger picture whilst the SCG is more to do with the day to day issues of match days etc. There will be some overlap between the two but they are distinct and...

    SCG Meeting

    The sell on for WIlson is 10% and it would go to the club - obviously how it is used would be up to Waggott - I think it being directly syphoned off to the evil Seppala's underground lair are a bit far fetched _ probably have to go via Cayman Islands first!!

    SCG Meeting

    In my personal opinion yes but I am no longer anything to do with the Trust board. I think these are perilous times for the club and at the end of the day owners will come and go but supporters will always remain, we are in a massive hole (who dug it and who filled it is now history and to keep...

    SCG Meeting

    No it wasn't mentioned but I seem to recall CCFC gets a percentage of F & B but not sure about car parking, think that all stays with ACL. Guess for £4k a game youre not going to get much in the way of sweetners - all more reason (as was suggested by Steve Brown during meeting) that club talks...

    SCG Meeting

    The primacy point was raised and the response was that as far as ACL were concerned the club has primacy means CCFC have exclusivity of the pitch and the changing rooms - anything else is on a first come first served basis. The insomnia event will attract 20,000 people and earn ACL probably...

    SCG Meeting

    As promised some feedback to questions raised on here from last nights meeting (actually the most useful one for a long time as club/supporter matters were concentrated rather than outside attacks on third parties - be that the Trust or owners) Overall picture is club is brassic - there have...

    SCG Meeting

    I am going to meeting on Thursday and will try and bring up any questions people have and report answers back here. Personally I believe the SCG would have more relevance if supporters felt that it actually represented them rather than being viewed as a cosy old boys talking shop. Many groups...

    Wage Budget

    I would have to assume so although I would not swear that it was exactly 8th but it was around that - there is some wriggle room when it comes to SCMP that Steve Brookfield expanded on because as with everything financial and to do with the FL there is an awful lot of grey areas and "at the...

    Wage Budget

    Just for clarification all clubs know what each one has in terms of revenue and thereby their player budget. The FL collects all the revenue figures from the clubs and publishes it for them all to see - the names of the other clubs are deleted but it doesn't take too much detective work to work...

    Other income streams

    Following conversation at SCG with CCFC Financial Director Steve Brookfield the facts are that the club could build a separate building for exhibitions/conferences/tea dances/lap dances etc etc as long as it is owned within the same company as the football club. If that is the case then all...

    new kit details

    Asked Waggott about new kit at SCG last night and explained that delay was because they are changing kit manufacturers and the contract has not been finalized. Hoping this will be done next week or so when can release details etc. Wouldn't say anything about colours etc. Seems like another...
