    PROMOTION NO PROMOTION

    Why are you getting emails from Wasps? I don't, and the reason why is I don't want anything to do with them. You must be getting them because...... maybe you bought a ticket? That makes you more of a Wasps plant than me.

    PROMOTION NO PROMOTION

    You've over simplified that Grendel. They are targeting kids (aged 7 and under) who might not yet have found a love for sport of any sort. My love for CCFC comes from the fact my Dad was a season ticket holder and took me when I was 7 for my first game. Some kids don't have sport loving parents...

    SBITC do. I'm not sure the club do directly.

    PROMOTION NO PROMOTION

    I've made points on other threads about how poor we are at this sort of thing. People also need to remember that although SBITC use the CCFC brand, their remit is not to be the marketing department, although their work should have a positive affect on supporter numbers. SBITC do attend events...

    The Academy - an alternative perspective

    Yes, he did admit that the operation of his club is a money pit and the owner isn't investing to make money. His opinion on these matters is probably more informed than most people on here, hence me posting it.

    Councillors

    Has anyone on here written to their Councillors about the whole academy situation? As I stated on the Petition thread, I wasn't sure if it had any value given there was no party it was directed at. I wrote to my Cllrs yesterday as an alternative, text below. Has anyone tried anything similar...

    Yes and having swatted them away, they've now gone quiet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not. Now you could go and read any of my posts and check or you could just go back to the Favourite Smells thread and add your insight there instead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm not sure that I've seen what you've said on this Bry, but it would appear to be a convenient out, wouldn't it?

    Big Sam for England

    Allardyce has always given the impression to me that he couldn't care less about egos and who'd been on the cover of a computer game. He cares only about winning. FFS he continued to pick the paedo Adam Johnson because he thought it would give him a better chance of 3 points.

    The Academy - an alternative perspective

    I've been in the company of a board member of a Championship club this week and, over a beer or two, we discussed ownership, academies and the state of CCFC. It was clear that he was aware of the difficulties of our club, but he wasn't fully aware of the perilous state of our Academy. His...

    SISU's latest appeal not until the Autumn

    The Telegraph are reporting the latest appeal hearing for SISU won't be heard until after the summer, maybe even as late as December. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-city-owners-sisu-face-11609237

    The original deal between SISU and ACL was also commercial in confidence but it became public when the court cases started. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yeah, already realised my mistake and marked it red above. I'm just off to go and sit on the naughty step for a bit :shamefullyembarrased:

    Sorry, yes. My bad. Wasps have 250 years.

    Save the Sky Blue Academy Petition

    I was specifically referring to the length of the lease. CCFC were able to purchase 100% of the stadium, but failed to do so, partly for the reasons outlined by @italiahorse The amount of money the stadium was sold for and what it was offered to SISU for cannot be sensibly compared. At the...

    There is the point also that Higgs initially were happy to consider an annuity payment structure for their share although they requested proof of funds. When SISU could not provide this, Higgs then insisted any deal must be cash. I also note with interest that the deal on the table was...

    Save the Sky Blue Academy Petition

    Yes, it's the point. 'unrealistic expectations for the terms', legalese for the difference in what Higgs wanted and what SISU were prepared to offer.
