I'm not being funny but why would Coventry Utd or Sphinx want to talk to you? Why would they welcome another rival team?
Entirely predictable, ineffectual and feeble, heads in the sands from the usual suspects. Do nothing types it appears.
As Bigfatron says, the Phoenix club wouldn't kick off till August 2014, long enough I'll wager for Sisu to have come up with the details of this new ground. OR resolved things over the Ricoh.
Michael CCFC, I had a private message from you, but I can't open it.
Let's not get tangled up in MK Dons/AFC Wimbledon. It's US, CCFC we're talking about. My take is Wimbledon are the Wimbledon of Plough Lane, Vinnie Jones. The others are Milton Keynes. End of.
No good leaving this to crawl along. All the time we don't have our club in Coventry.
Initially we could talk to Sphinx, talk to Coventry United. I think either would be very happy to talk of upgrading their facilities to cater for say, 5,000 fans. More will get on board once the bandwagon gets rolling.
Ignore the Nick's, the Stupots, sitting on their hands, going along with whatever gets thrown at them. They'll still be throwing wet blankets over everything in a year. YOU want your club, fight for it.
But if we all went to a new phoenix forum, that would only leave you, Nick, stupot, Grendal and a few other lost souls locked into a perpetual cycle of liking each others posts. If you wanted that you would have joined GMK by now.

Fernando, investment, the prospect of being part of something much bigger. Better facilities. Who knows, they may like the idea.
Exploratory talks, see what they think. Talk to rugger club about sharing. Higgs about playing there with ground upgrades. And on and on.
If you have better ideas, tell us. And I'm being respectful, I'd welcome your input.
Doing nothing and waiting is not the way forward.
It would be us fans claiming our club back.
Over to you.
Fight for it by supporting another club? Feel free to go and support another club and claim it is out of love for the club.
Some would argue that your statement also applies to going and supporting some team playing in Northampton.
7,000 people are going to support the very same team tomorrow aren't they?

Yes but nearly 6000 of those dont support them in their new "home"
Its a one off after a while even the away support will dwindleDid I mention the home? I said it is the same Team, going to support a different team like a Pheonix or alternative is a completely different club, team, squad, manager etc?
SK, message for you - and anyone else - is if you're interested in discussing this further please email me at keepcovincov@gmail.com
My feelings are that plans should be put in place ready but keep fighting to bring CCFC back to Coventry. Can make a go/no-go decision closer to the deadline.

I think you will find they already have
There are plans in place?
Two deadlines show intent by feb business plan by may
There are plans in place?
But what is the deadline for registering a new club?
By february dont know ifits beginning or end you have to tell the football authorities that you intend to form a club then May again not sure beginning or end you have to have to present your business plan to them. I will find out and get back on this
Ah. Ok. I understand now. So real deadline is may because you can signal intent then backtrack presumably.
With all due respect any "plans" that only a small group are party to are no plans at all.
If this is to be done at all it needs wide support and a coordinated approach from those interested.
Can I read into this that you are for this and willing to coordinate?
Mark, the trust is by far the best group to do this but my understanding was always the trust would only do so if ccfc was liquidated. If the trust says it would set up a phoenix club for 2014/15 then they would definitely be the best people to do it. But as Broken Hearted says, there is a timetable so can't just wait till the end of the season and decide then. tbh, I am completely torn on this. I can't say I have any burning enthusiasm for the idea but as there does seem to be increasing interest it does seem worthwhile exploring it and I am getting more messages about it and some people actively pursuing it. But I'll keep on repeating, a big dose of reality is needed. Unless Broken Hearted or someone else knows differently, I'm being told that if ccfc remained in existence then a new club would get no (or at best minimal) preference in terms of what tier it would play at. I also think the likely crowds would be way below what some people think. Imagine a cold, wet night at a non-league venue watching non-league football? How many people would really be up for that?

I think that at the moment all you can do is gather information but there is going to come a time when the bullets got to be bitten and I think that time is coming
Exactly, Shmmeee. Wide support, not on the back of a handful of vocal posters on here.
And yes Bigfatronssba timing is everything, and vitally important if you want the support of the sba. Even on this thread there are mixed messages.
Yes, Spoinkop I am doing something, I'm boycotting home and away games, and not buying merchandise.

Surely if the trust setup a new club while there is still ccfc they are just alienating themselves more?
