Why should they when SISU know that the offers ACL provide show nothing in the way of stability and future ownership which is a fair enough reason.
Which is a fair point. ACL have been happy to talk, Sisu haven't.
Robo, the trust have consistently attempted to get a meeting with the person from SISU who calls the shots but have not even had a response.
We've done the same with ACL and they have been happy to meet with us on many occasions.
But of course you know all this as we've said it a number of times...

Do you also have a care for the club regarding its academy or Ladies club, a trust needs to be from the Tiddly Winks and upwards not just where the bulk of the support is.. But it's interesting that the Trust support fans taking an interest in CCLFC now but did you before when they were in Bedworth?
Why would they speak to you though after you launch campaigns against them? I'm pretty sure if you said the same about acl they wouldn't speak to you either...
Would the trust have an interest of they were playing at the oval today??
Thanks Turkey, 'threat' of a new team was my word. Nick missed that.
Nick, I'd rather CCFC was back in Coventry. I'm not prepared to wait five years or never. I'm in my 60s, I've been passionate about my team since 1959. You could count the games I've missed since then on one hand. I go away a lot too.
It's not good but a 'reclaimed' CCFC playing in Coventry has to be a possibility if this goes on past Xmas.
Well there Coventry City Ladies Football Club aren't they? It's in the name for the same reasons people are upset about our club being moved to Sixfields..
Doesn't matter if it was a new club or not it bares the name of a City and represents it history and community.

The thing is with that, yes you could go and watch them play but would you have the fire in your belly and passion about it?
It can hardly be compared as the ladies do not have 130 years of history, heritage and fan base.
Robbo, you're talking about a side issue here. Nit picking.
If you asked the people that run CCFC ladies they might tell you Bedworth was their best option.
In all of this stadium madness, the Trust (I'm not a member) seem to be the only ones actually DOING anything practical. We might not agree with everything they do - I for one wish they'd go a bit more direct. And organise peaceful mass protests at Sixfields - on the pitch. But they are DOING stuff. They're maybe TOO polite and nice for their own good.
Bedworth is a minor side issue.

VOR, don't bother yourself with Summerisle. We know the scenario over six or seven years. Hindsight is a wonderful super power isn't it. Course he has that special skill which us mere mortals don't. Yeah right.
Keep banging the drum. If enough of us keep protesting we'll get there. After all, today is just the 2nd 'home' game. Things will look different on a wet night in December at Sixfields.
Bastards? Yes absolutely.
If I didn't know better I'd say your picture was Mike Goldstein of Cov Uni? Or am I imagining things?
Robbo, we'll have to disagree on that then.
In the absence of the Trust are you putting yourself forward as the new fan's leader?

The position of the trust has shifted, I'm not going to deny that. But the board thought long and hard before the shift. Trust members were calling for it but we resisted as long as we felt we could because we didn't want to "burn bridges" but there comes a time when watersheds are passed and that's what happened with the move to Sixfields.
I'm a bit perplexed as to those that say ACL and SISU are "equally to blame" I'd love them to explain what their definition of "equal" is.
Whenever we have met or questioned ACL the answers given have been open and they have said we can publish them any time. I don't think anyone has been able to pull apart any of the answers received from ACL.
Whenever we have had dialog with SISU the responses have been different. Those responses are there for everyone to see and judge for themselves.
I know it's easy to type FACT at the end of a post when it's an opinion but I can tell you something that is FACT
I attended an SCG some months back. There will be some posters on here who attended the same SCG as I did, will read this and not respond, I'll leave others to judge why and them to look long and hard at themselves.
The SCG I am referring to Tim Fisher stated the Coventry City would come out of administration and would pay all the debts owing, the day, the hour, the minute they do that the transfer embargo would be lifted etc etc. that is a FACT. Anyone at that particular SCG want to call me a liar?
Mind you, he also said that Coventry would not be returning to the Ricoh and they would be ground sharing somewhere (at the time he said he didn't know where) and that they were looking at 3 options to built a new ground.

Come on then Nick, name one campaign we have "launched against them"

U
Has the promise of fan ownership from haskell and his link with acl helped sway it? Honest question.
Heading up to 3000Perhaps because they have a couple of thousand members who (it is reasonable to assume) are/were all pretty committed customers of theirs.
So a group that represents circa 20% of their customer base - most commercial organisations would see that as something worth paying attention to.
Honest answer is no.
We've contacted all parties that have shown an interest in CCFC, and we've been open with all of them who have responded. Nothing is on the table from any side so it would be foolish to nail your colours to anyone. It's counter productive.

Is there more people in the trust than the walk through the City produced?
Nick, in answer to your poser about enthusiasm for a 'reclaimed' CCFC. Oh yes. Because I'm sure every fan would know they are the real CCFC. We would do what Wimbledon did and take back their heritage and history from MK Dons.
As I said - the word you missed in my earlier post 'threat' of a new club in Coventry would galvanise minds at Sisu. You missed that key word. Just the mere threat of a new club.
What would you have us do? Wait five years or more?
Go on then Robbo, go for it. I await the news in the media.
As I recall, numbers were estimated at over 5k, so I guess you can probably manage the maths yourself.
Was there a point to the question?
