Like I have said the moving of Wasps is a matter for them, their fans, their sport - like Team Fiat moved to Birmingham - Solihull Barons moved to Cov - different rules for different sports. Football is very much embedded in its local community and I opposed the move to Northampton because it...

Don't give SISU any ideas

In my opinion the root cause of our current situation is SISU - all else has stemmed from their behaviour. To be honest continually raking over who did what to who, who said what and when etc etc is fucking boring and won't change anything. No letter to Wasps because they have actually met with...

Wasps havent said anything except that they want to work with CCFC - the two sides have been talking about joint ventures including shared ticketing facilities etc. I believe that a deal over access to match day revenues is possible but unless you ask you certainly won't get. Its down to...

I enjoyed watching Strictly Come Dancing more than watching City recently - it has been dire and turgid in the extreme

Who should we be fighting? Encouraging a boycott of Wasps would benefit CCFC how? Encouraging a boycott of council taxes? Encourage a boycott of donations to Higgs? Encourage a boycott of CT? Maybe we are not "fighting" anyone because there is no one left to fight - the world has moved on. In my...

I agree that there was probably no way that they would have got the 50% but they should have at least pushed it so far that the charity had to at least think about it - but we will never know because they couldn't manage a proper bid. Davids article was about the two games that weekend - on...

There is no massaging of egos going on - Wasps are here and going to stay. Do I like the fact that Coventry City don't own the Ricoh - of course not but that is not Wasps fault that is the fault of SISU who decided on a particular strategy of distressing ACL to try and get the Ricoh for next to...

http://www.skybluetrust.co.uk/index.php/114-latest-news/411-supporters-survey-results Please read it and you will see the section about fans reaction to a new stadium - 73% believe a new stadium will not be built. Survey was done in summer.

No probs Tony - my PERSONAL view is that this move would not have been unforseen by Wasps and they knew what they were taking on. I would rather that SISU gave up on the whole JR and just left us to get on with football related matters but I am encouraged that the club see the opportunity of...

What I gained from the conversation was a: this was nothing more than a legal technicality to keep the JR going b: they were developing a good working relationship with Wasps

As I understood from what he was saying was that they weren't sure themselves and this was intended to cover all eventualities.

Club Explains Latest Legal Action Yesterday CCFC released a statement about the latest legal move from the clubs owners SISU. Full statement from the club is here: http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/ccfc-statement-sisu-coventry-city-191214-2154793.aspx This statement has caused a more...

If anyone wants to raise issues / ask questions then I am happy to do it behalf of SBT and the SBT (Talk and Trust). I will put up a thread a few days prior to each SCG meeting for contributions. If there is anything in the meantime just PM me or email me at [email protected]

Just to be clear the rest of the SCG - which currently includes the Sky Blue Trust - have NOT been informed by Mr Strange and Mr Ward of the details of the board meeting which they were at representing the SCG. The Trust is not with holding the information - we, along with other SCG members...

Steve Waggott thumbing through the add ons section of the sale contract as we speak ;)

Pressley was asked about Wilson at Trust meeting on Monday and confirmed that club needed money, lad was quadrupeling his wages, playing in higher league etc etc - was good deal for all parties. He also said there were add ons. I would assume that the £3.5m fee quoted also includes these ie we...

I think the case is exactly the opposite - they can possibly buy it via the CCFC Ltd option, if that can be exercised or they can simply put in a rival bid to the Wasps bid. The charity appears to have put a price on their 50% and Wasps have agreed to meet that asking price - it is now up to...
