    Looking on the +ve side, at least we won't be playing an U21 side in the final.

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    Honest answer? I'm procrastinating and saw a few threads that were interesting. If you paid attention, you'd notice that I drop in from time to time although I don't tend to get too involved these days because...well, what's the point? I go to most games these days so can have far better...

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    Indeed, although my point was that the Stockport Trust taking over ended up with them in administration and a lot of animosity.

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    The problem we have ATM is despite the 'SISU out' talk, I've not seen anything remotely resembling a plan as to how that how that happens & what the way forward is. For all the CT's 'put CCFC up for sale and find a buyer' they seem to be more interested in getting a quote from anyone who has...

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    I think that this is a sensible move by the Trust although they will have been speaking to SD about it in private for a good few years. Hopefully Preston Haskell IV, Ray Ranson or Gary Hoffman aren't going to be involved ;-) One thing worth pointing out – remember our first opponents after we...

    Checkatrade - time to own up

    I've got a Wolves fan mate who has a flag from – and is still proud of – their LDV Vans (as it was then) Trophy win and it's always been a source of some piss-taking from me, so I've always been slightly wary of us getting to the final. (I'm still annoyed I broke my NOPM boycott back when we had...

    Well, this is a start... Being more open and communicating with the wider fanbase is what a lot of us have been advising and pushing for. However, it is just a start & there will need to be more & regular communications with actual specifics. Hopefully with people like Steve Brown, CJ, Colin...

    Can't disagree with that.

    Putting in, or just getting, money for a stadium is a separate issue to putting money into the club. It can be done. I'm not saying it'll be straightforward or successful, but it is a viable option. As for Wasps going tits up, it's not something anyone would bank on really. (Although it would...

    For anyone who's been involved with CCLSC in the last few years, this is funny :clown: (BTW, it was Stoke-on-Trent to Euston ;))

    Well, the obvious point there is that Wasps are more likely to go tits up if we don't sign a long-term deal.

    I certainly haven't intended to make out that CCFC are in a strong position...far from it. I was just pointing out one of the possible reasons behind the current CT-led campaign: increasing the value of the stadium by having a long-term tenant.

    Well, the assumption is that if SISU are forced out fo' cheap / free, CCFC's new fan-friendly owners sign a long term rental deal on the stadium. The stadium value goes up inc. getting a better naming rights deal which helps Wasps' finances & valuation (v. important). They've spent a lot on...

    So £2.4m per annum...sounds about right. That is going to hurt. I think there was something about having to re-value the stadium too? Have you heard anything? This is why I'm suspicious about the exact intentions behind the CT petition.

    Just to be sure here: this is me pulling figures out of the air, I have no idea what she actually thinks or wants. But if A Legit Corporation Ltd. wanted to talk about taking CCFC over, I don't think that would be an unreasonable range to be talking about – from her position because she doesn't...
