Not anymore anyway, after letting all these cats out the bag
Thats a joke Sandra before you get upset. I personally never thought you were recieving reward for doing this.
Been told off sorry Sandra I should have asked before sharing more widely. I have apologised and said I will stop asking as I don't want to be held in confidences that I can't share with my fellow fans that are going through the shit that serves for communication from the club. I also explained that I had not shared anything I thought to be confidential or controversial
Ho hum
Sandra has just asked me to clarify that .....
By the way, perhaps you would clarify to those who make incorrect assumptions that I am not employed, contracted, remunerated or rewarded in any way by the club. I am just a fan and have been for over 40 years.
Hi Pete
Thank you for your email.
Stadium plans are still progressing, albeit slowly. Minutes of our meeting will be shared next week which highlight the various sites pursued, but which have fallen through for various reasons.
There was every intention to make a New Year announcement but, as with any land deal, delays occur. I am not a property lawyer but I do know how long it can take for terms to be agreed.
I will include you in the circulation of the minutes and these will also be sent to the Sky Blue Trust, who were present at the meeting, and will also be posted on the club website.
Let's hope we get a better performance on the pitch tomorrow and an important 3 points.

Kind Regards
Sandra

Sorry to trouble you again but you have always been so great responding to my emails.
Do you still believe our club has any intention of building a new stadium?
What has happened to the fictitious new year statement?
Thanks for anything you can say
Pete
Other clubs have had financial support from their council's ie gift of free land for their stadium or at a heavily subsidised price.
I've not seen financials and it's complex but largely same financial model as other clubs who do a new build. Not my remit really. I just ask questions.
Kind Regards

But have you seen any detail as to how WE are going to fund it?
You also say they had supportive councils. In what ways have any councils stood in the way of our club?
Thanks

GB Development Solutions has sold Chesterfield Football Club's old stadium at Saltergate to Barratt homes for an undisclosed sum. The sale will be completed on the 31st January 2012.
That is total bollocks, most clubs sell the site of their old ground to raise finance. I don't think Ryton is going to raise an awful lot of money unless planing permission for housing can be obtained, e.g. Chesterfield sold a site for 68 homes, which sell for up to £400,000 each, their stadium cost ~£13M, so it is likely that the old site covered a not insubstantial part of the cost.
When does the PR firm, Portland, start their contract? When the stadium has been confirmed? Seems strange that there are no positive reports coming out to whet our appetites for the new stadium after appointing a company to make the stadium move look attractive. Moving slowly seems to mean not moving at all. Surprised Les Reid hasn't got a take on this. At least someone should query why the usual announcement of the pending announcement was made in the first place, when according to Garlick nothing has happened and it seems it isn't likely to do so in the next three weeks. I think they would be better not making any more announcements until they have something to announce.
Yes I do ask. I have also asked them to do a FAQ on the way in which it will be financed. However, I am not doing any more on the stadium until the land acquisition is announced.
Fisher did show us on Wednesday night the 3 unsuccessful plots that were pursued, but fell through over last 28 months. Minutes will be published early next week. It was an open and frank discussion with Fisher and Cllr Maton present to answer questions along with Moz and CJ from SBT.
Remember full ownership of a stadium is an asset. I really don't understand the equity model of investment, but I do know that the risk is not on the club itself which will be separate from the property company. Apparently, it's a common model.
However, I am personally more concerned at present with results on the pitch. After all, that drives success elsewhere.
They have stated they will not liquidate, I asked that last week!
Kind Regards

Thank you
Are you asking the hard questions Sandra as the fan I trust you are?
How can a club with the debt we have consider building a new stadium?
Is it reasonable after taking out a series of legal cases to expect anything from the council as a hedge fund with millions swirling around?
Genuinely how close do you think we are to liquidation?
Thanks again
Pete
exactly the questions that need to be answered.also will the football club have a share in the property company? what will the rent be? what does "access to revenue streams" mean? ( a fisher favourite).So, who will the profits go to? How will they benefit the team on the pitch?
1. Brandon Speedway. This site is 26 acres and is 4.6 miles from Earl Street. The club had met with Rugby Council. The Council had been clear that they felt that the site was not suitable for a football stadium. The highways challenges were too great. However, Rugby Council were extremely interested in an Academy/training ground facility and acknowledged the benefits for the local community. As such, the site could have been appealing for potential use of the Academy/Training Ground. Despite further work including an environmental investigation the club did not pursue. The issues around securing vacant possession were simply too big – there was an ongoing legal issue with the land owners and HMRC.
[further 2 sites to follow]
Hi Pete
I am sending you details of 3 sites shortly...[As background TF attended the meeting to answer questions and provide an update on the progress with the land acquisition.]
TF stated:
The club have actively engaged with Architects, Consultants, Property, Highways Consultants and commissioned an Economic Impact Assessment. An extensive site search has been conducted during the last 18 months. One of the biggest challenges is that Coventry is bound by green belt land.
TF confirmed that to date there have been numerous sites considered during the land search process but he wanted to share information on 3 principal sites which had been considered in detail
Minutes being written today and Sandra has said
Yes, you can share.
Please ensure that you state that it is an extract from the minutes currently being prepared and shared with my permission. Full minutes will be sent out early next week.
She will also be sharing on Twitter.
might be covered in the full minutes but I'll ask jack
all very interesting.
Have asked if anyone asked about rugby council saying no contact on foi. I do know a little about foi and sometimes they just don't answer correctly

I'm sure the SBT will follow up.
The sooner CCFC is closed down the better. Sisu can never turn this around and they'll never sell due to hubris.
A Phoenix club cannot work while the old one continues to go through the motions.

I don't think a phoenix club will work if the old one is in existence or not. There's too much apathy and of the people who can still be bothered how much appetite is there to start right at the bottom again?
are there any successful "phoenix" clubs?
