Is this a battle between nasty ruthless heartless landlords against a poor penniless downtrodden little football club or is it a battle between the council who represent the citizens of Coventry and a Coventry based children's charity against a faceless London based hedge fund who's motives for...

OSB - sorry but you are incorrect. The SCG was originally set up by the Sky Blue Trust almost a decade ago and initially did some good work but then fell into neglect. It was resurrected recently and the Trust is still on the group but is often regarded with suspicion by the other members of the...

Only two stadiums that are possible venues due to all the obvious restrictions are Hinckley which has League 1 status (amazingly) but is just too small and Nene Park home of Rushden and Diamonds which is the only real option. To save googling its in Irthlingborough in Northamptonshire - 45 miles...

Who was it that claimed ACL was going bust? Who claimed the bank was threatening ACL? Who reveled ACL's mortgage payment levels? etc etc Don't throw stones if you are just as guilty. Whilst both sides have behaved unprofessionally at least as fans we are actually getting some real facts and can...

Basic Maths: CCFC want to pay £200k ACL Offer is £400k plus their half of the match day profits £5k a game = £100k £400k -£100k =£300k Therefore gap is £100K Kevin Kilbane has announced retirement - assuming he was being paid "only" £2k a week = £100k saving to CCFC Therefore Overall Gap...

This whole sorry mess needs sorting and its not a matter of winners and losers but compromise and getting the best deal for BOTH parties. At the end of the day they both need each other, whatever each says, and the sooner they stop poncing about and get it sorted the sooner we can all get back...

Seems like there might be something to this theory afterall - this comment from Jacky Isaac of ACL on CT website "However, after turning down our most recent offer, we have to question whether at any point during our conversations in the last ten months, Sisu ever had any intention of reaching...

Financial stable? Coventry City? Sorry mutually exclusive words and have been for decades I'm afraid

Coventry and Nuneaton? Well we are run by Wallace and Grommit, sorry Fisher and Waggott

Many thanks kind sir :D I understand the scepticism - there are so many numbers being bandied around, so much spin etc its hard to know what to believe but bottom line is a very dangerous game is being played with our football clubs future

Owned by wankers? A charity that does work for underprivileged kids in Coventry are wankers? The citizens of Coventry - who own the stadium via the council are wankers? Interesting point of view.

Confused - How does going to the game on Saturday put money into ACL? All the ticket money goes to the club who are currently playing at the stadium for a minimal £10k just barely covering the costs. Both sides need to get it sorted before there is no club to support. If you are really worried...

What all Cov fans can do and should do is join the Sky Blue Trust - only a £1 go to www.skybluetrust.co.uk These are worrying times with one side threatening the other - talk of admin, talk of moving grounds, accusations and counter accusations and in the middle of it all are us the fans...

If it was like this at the Ricoh imagine the shambles when SISU have us playing at the Triton Shower Community Arena in Nuneaton

Chief Dave - we have asked and had offers of help from local professionals but the way these things escalate once the ball starts rolling their charity can only stretch so far and then costs have to be covered.

I have three seats from the main stand at Highfield Rd - will they help with the rebuilding

The money would stay in the fund and at each AGM the members would vote whether to keep it in the fund or to use it for another purpose

At the Sky Blue Trust meeting on Monday it was announced that we would be starting a Fighting Fund in case of administration/liquidation etc. This fund is not there to raise money to buy the club or any shares but is designed to raise money to cover costs such a solicitors fees, accountants fees...
