and why jump into bed with Garlic ?
As many of you will be aware Ms Sandra Garlick has formed an independent committee to look at what supporters might want if a new stadium was to be built. We asked you if you felt the SBT should be part of this committee and the overwhelming majority voted for participation. We informed Ms Garlick that the near on 3,000 members of the Trust wished to be represented on her committee but unfortunately she has rejected your request.
I smell a rat within the Trust leadership. And I dont think I could Trust them . Is there a Trust member on to confirm this ? and why jump into bed with Garlic ?
It's very simple, the trust are the largest representative group of supporters and if they have a vote on something they go with the result rather than just doing what the handful of more active members and / or board members think. Not sure why that is viewed as a bad thing. This is the statement they posted on their website
@chiefdave
That's my point. the "new stadium" will be outside Coventry if it ever comes off (NOT) But the Trust want CCFC back in the City ??? or have they forgotten what they are fighting for!!!! They ether want cov back in cov or they just want to get a seat at the table .
They need to make there minds up.
I want CCFC back at the Ricoh and nothing else, like the majority of SBA. So its beggers belief the Trust even thought about getting on a committee with Garlic
This is the problem with a democracy

I may be getting the offers mixed up but I think the latest offer was of free for the rest of this season then £150K for the next two seasons and then we move into our new ground, well according to SISU anyway.
That offer was made through the FL I think after Labovich's 'I can't hear you' rubbish when ACL offer a £150K a season 10 year rolling deal.
This was the meeting wasn't it where Mr Labovitch was puzzled about PWKH representing the Higgs Centre when he's a director of ACL. This being a slightly odd thing to be confused about when you consider that Mr Labovitch himself was representing one company of at least two of which he was a director of at the meeting.
Maybe he is like Worzel Gummidge & just didn't have the right head on that day?

What gets me is the Trust only represent it's members and not the majority of fans. To me Michael of KCIC has done more than the entire Trust membership. I hate to say this but I really do think the select few on the Trust are in it for them selfs . They are very quiet !!!

Can only influence from within.
Standing outside and shouting guarantees failure. Standing within may also result in failure... but at least brings awareness of what is set to happen.
Personally am very pleased they seem to have got their act together somewhat, and are coming across a lot more professional than at times before.
And with professionalism comes trust...

Except as this thread proves, it doesn't. And as repeated encounters with Sisu have proven, it simply shows your willing to compromise your principles and invites further requests for concession.
You don't have to compromise your principls to talk to people...
A reasonable person/organisation shows themselves open to all ideas/principles/opportunities/directions, and gives their 'opponent' the opportunity to show themselves reasonable also...
Or otherwise.
Show, rather than tell.
When did they ever not? Don't take Labovitchs word for everything. I stand to be corrected but AFAIK all communication from the Trust went to all parties. I saw the non answers from the club, the unanswered requests. This idea the Trust caused the rift is a fiction and one being accelerated ironically since the Trust were overtly "open" to the club.
I presume the Sky Blue Trust have received no more legal threats from the club, I wonder if they have carried out their threat to take legal action against the Guardian newspaper, or if the threat was quietly dropped.
Steve, I'm not having a go at the trust . It's gone very quiet.
My question was why on earth would the trust who represent 300o fans who only want to KCIC try and jump in bed with Sandra Garlic and her select committee on the proposed new ground that could be outside Coventry. It goes totally against what the majority of cov fans want. Looks to me like edging your bets rather than making a stand !
Back of a fag packet calculation folks:
Assuming all other income at the Ricoh would be the same as it is in Northampton (unlikely) and that including ST holders the average fan pays £20 a game:
Income at Sixfields= 1,500 x 23 x 20= £700k. Net after a rent of £200k= £500k.
Income at Ricoh on last year's average crowd= 11,000 x 23 x 20= £5.1m.
ACL could charge £4m and we would still have a bigger surplus left over than if we were at Northampton based on ticket revenue alone.
You mean when they tried to take on an opponent that they couldn't bully?????
The maths work in principle, however our match receipts income on 10.8k fans and 7-8 home cup games last season was only 2,996,143.....does indicate how low the revenue must be at Sixfields.
Does that include STs?
It means after discounting a St produces around £10-£11 per match income ,coupled with Interest to Ticketus possibly reducing further ,no wonder we were getting in the Shit.
By the way you owe me a Pie .
remember that thread last year where we both guessed at turnover ,Projected £6.5M. Actual £6.6M.
Not bad eh??
