Should I feel disappointed I wasn't singled out for this survey? I have to say, I think Michael gets some of his survey ideas from Sir Humphrey Appleby on Yes Prime Minister ;-) http://youtu.be/G0ZZJXw4MTA

And here is the problem. One side has the club, one side has the stadium. The club side can go and build a new one, the stadium side can do other things with the stadium. In the meantime, our club is playing in a dump 35 miles away. You know the really annoying thing? We've seen from recent...

As a group we're calling for negotiations based on independent valuations. Certainly no giveaways! It's important to consider not only the value of the Ricoh Arena as an asset but the value it brings in to the city. With our football club, concerts and lots of other stadium events back in, it...

I'll also point to what I said in the Central News piece thread (For context, the video is here http://www.itv.com/news/central/update/2014-04-11/investigation-into-sky-blues-stadium-row-court-documents/)

Vote Them Out. Demo on Sat 10 May & campaign aimed at getting councillors to ... It is completely credible. We set up because there was pressure on most sides but not the council so we filled the gap. We have consistently supported and given publicity to the other parts of the wider campaign...

Funnily enough, this is exactly what we'd discussed as a possible 'all fans day of action'. The idea was to have co-ordinated 'attendance' at all of the following: Sixfields inside Sixfields hill Ricoh Arena Council House Ryton AEH Centre FA (London) FL (London & Lytham) Houses of Parliament...

Slightly bizarre seeing yourself interviewed outside the Houses of Parliament. Pity you can't see the club badge on my shirt. I'm glad Darryl used that clip of the interview as I'm checking all of the protests that have been made by all fans groups rather than just ours. It's one thing that we...

Afternoon all…I'm trying to catch up with the past 24 hours on this thread. I've pulled out some of the key questions along the way so should be able to provide some answers. I got quizzed by Shane O'Conner this morning which may help answer some of the questions. Interview starts at 0:19:45...

Apparently ITV's London lawyers wanted a few tweaks so it's on tomorrow.

Yoink. Just got back from that London and a lot to wade through but I'll pick up on this as it's near the end of 100+ posts :-) It would have to be independent valuations and proper negotiations and certainly not given away. We need to remember that the city is losing millions per year by not...

One thing to add is that we're not the first footy fans following a homeless club to (maybe) stand candidates for local elections. Charlton fans had the Back to the Valley Party and Brighton (where I live) fans ran with the Seagulls Party around Lewes.

I've been called away to do a camera piece for Central News so phone-bound for a few hours but I'll go through some of the (excellent) points raised so far and see if I can come up with a few answers. The best thing about all this is that it's brought our favourite angry-kiddie Twitter...

Good questions and you are absolutely right to pick up on this. Overall, Vote Them Out is a three-pronged campaign. Can we get people to stand?; Question your candidates about a Ricoh return; & demonstration at the council house on Sat 10 May (it will be sunny, honest.) If we can get people to...

Haha! I'm sure Paul Harris noticed that because it was one of the cheaper M&S ones. But it is Sky Blue which counts I suppose. Unfortunately (?), I can't run as I don't meet the requirements (don't live or work in Cov) but we've had a few people consider. This first got mentioned when we did...

Update…CWR is now 9.35am

Morning all. We at Get Cov Back to the Ricoh are launching a new campaign today. Extract from the press release below with full version here. I'll be around for most of the day to give any details you guys need and take the mauling I deserve ;) "A FIRST major demonstration outside the Council...

Heh. I wrote a slightly longer version of this earlier and then binned it as I didn't really want to get into it too late on a Sunday evening. Another important thing is that all of the visitor income that the club and some decent-sized events could bring into the city is mainly lost.

Yes. The part of the deal was to bring AEG in. They own & op Staples Center in LA & operate O2 & MEN Arena (2 most popular venues in the world, ahead of Madison Square Garden) here amongst others.

We're all nerds? ;-) (Football nerds, numbers nerds, political nerds etc…)

If people are reading the docs and not seeing some very important new info and points to consider they're either missing them (understandable given the legalese) or trying to brush them under the carpet. I've caught up on yesterday's transcript and I'm going to do some more research and...
