    "Fan representation" on CCFC Board

    Yes but at some point you have to engage with all the stakeholders in order to move this forward. We can go on ignoring the facts or doing the "you're from not round here" gig. Would it not be an idea to Invite the "Fans Rep" to a Trust (this seems to be the only organised body) meeting so...

    "I want my brick back"

    Who sold the Bricks in the first Place? CCFC or ACL

    Wasps

    SISU were never going to let CCFC own the Stadium so they would always be paying rent. The option to purchase was reported in Sky-blue Sports and leisure accounts in 2008 so at that point they wanted CCFC to be a High Rent tenant especially if we returned to the PL. So this ownership debate with...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    From many of the posts on here this is the first game of a club separated from its supporters so surely the measure should be our first game at Northampton

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    I think they did want it. But not when it was an asset owned by CCFC Ltd. In 2008 they thought they had transferred the option to purchase to Sky Blue Sports and Leisure. So then they could run CCFC Ltd into the ground with the loss making move to Northants whist distressing ACL and then...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    If you new that they were in dialogue for several years then it is inconceivable SISU did not know. OK say the agreement required an anchor tenant , where in your supposition does the fact that SISU actually agreed a deal that was good for their business model come in? Well at least better...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    You are probably right, but if they get to that game against Leicester and it still meant something then a big crowd / game vs against Leicester would Draw the wider support. Any sporting event in front of a big crowd is at least in part about the occasion and being there , it also brings...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    Also one potential factor here is that WASPS do have a realistic chance of making the playoffs (or whatever they call it). They are currently 5th . If they are still in the mix at the end of the season the last home game would be against Leicester in May. Whilst I accept that it may not...

    Victory for the City of Coventry yesterday

    Well at this point its whatever is the cheapest option to move the club forward on the field. I would propose that the owners (for once) are pragmatic s do a deal that is good for the club. Cant see how we can afford to pay rent and fund a stadium. The only business plan is to get the playing...

    Victory for the City of Coventry yesterday

    I take it that is aimed at me. Well I am a supporter of CCFC always have been always will be , I was there when we were relegated, last desperate games against Bristol City t home, Spurs away, losing to Sunderland 2-0 when they were bottom of the first division in the 70's, when Drinkel scored...

    Victory for the City of Coventry yesterday

    Saracens played at Watford for about 15 yrs and Richmond are languishing with Cov RFC in the Third Tier where it is almost impossible to return to the top flight after going bust.

    Victory for the City of Coventry yesterday

    OK DUFFER. Does it sit comfortably that you could simply move a team..... No it goes against my belief in supporting your home town team , my non attendance at Sixfields, the Trust Marches. That said the simple WASPS franchise argument does not really hold water, history shows WASPS have been...

    Victory for the City of Coventry yesterday

    Reading some of these posts that vilify WASPS, CCC and ACL I cannot but shake my head in total disbelief. Pete Chambers recent comments claiming that Derek Robbins would be spinning in his grave and the responsibilities if the Higgs trust to the club were infantile. I am sure that if Mr...

    CCFC statement

    ACL chairman forced to resign

    What can't you see? this has been all agreed as part of the process by all parties that were involved. Because SISU were so incompetent and cock sure that they were the only game in town they took their eye off the ball. Look no further These documents are in the public domain an registered at...

    ACL chairman forced to resign

    I don think WASPS have done anything underhand .... just not left anything to chance. Management and board changes are common when new owners / shareholders are in place and I would assume that All parties would have to agree to the change as it is a 50/50 arrangement. All part of the deal and...
