    Is "Grendel" Nick's alias?

    To be fair to Grendel this could be true. In general Marketing tends to be the art of identifying the bleeding obvious. For example, if you want to launch a high end watch brand, you advertise in the Sunday Supplement of the Times or Independent, if you want to launch a new mass market beer you...

    Regardless of the rhetoric who thinks....

    We will be back at the Ricoh sooner or later, otherwise both the Arena and the club have no future. Because moving to Northampton [CCFC] and Streakers [CCC/ACL] is not "moving on" whatever both sides may say. Not sure the JD will be the defining moment though

    We've got to do something!

    Like most people, no moping for me. Re-discovered my love of fishing and cycling, amongst other things, on a Saturday afternoon. Do wish that this situation could be sorted out though, as I would like to go and see my team play in the city that bears their name. Don't think I will ever get a...

    Pressley Backed

    One thing puzzles me about these endless arguments; When are the people who appear to support SISU [Or whatever they call themselves this week] going to lose faith that the promises will come to anything? If they are not associated with SISU in any way, what makes them think that, despite the...

    Breaking news: Stadium size increased

    I agree lets really push the boat out 200k capacity, with a topless waitress for every 10 fans. We can play friendlies against Barca and Real Madrid which we always win by at least 5 clear goals. After all in my fantasy football Cov always do brilliantly in the Champions League Like I said...

    And now for something completely different

    Strachan is, in my opinion an appalling manager, nit just at Cov, but everywhere he has been. The only thing about him managing Scotland is that he cannot make them worse. There is not a single team/club that has been in a better state after his tenure than they were before he came. I remember...

    CT interview with ACL chairman

    Lets face it, it really is time one or other party actually DID something. I am sick of all this posturing: "We're building a new stadium" "We're moving on" It is all bollocks on both sides. SISU know that the Ricoh is the only viable option [other than a permanent move to Northampton]...

    Rip ccfc?

    It really doesn't matter whether you go to Sixfields or not [although I won't] Unless SISU come to an agreement with ACL/CCC [or the other way round depending on your bias] we will not be playing in or around Coventry ever again. The idea that a new stadium will be built is ludicrous on so many...

    Worst Games

    The game that really sticks in my mind as the worst was against Everton the season we got relegated. They were in the middle of an injury crisis, and struggling. I thought we would be up for the game, and that if we won it would give us a confidence boost. I also thought that if Everton lost it...

    How long, accountability ?

    Whilst I would hold BR and MM etc responsible for getting us into a position where we had to be bailed out, as a basket case, by SISU. The fact remains that SISU have made one unfathomable business decision after another. I run my own business with one guiding principle; I like to eat and pay my...

    Coventry town centre (non football related)

    What's Nottingham like to live in? I am moving there in June, and the only info I can get is from my Mum who left when she was 20. She's 87 now. Her total help is "You must go to goose fair"

    New Stadium Locations

    To be honest the fact that Northampton are 2nd bottom of league 2 and that SISU will not hold sensible talks with ACL/CCC or anyone else, or give any indication of where any new ground will be, makes me think that the plan is to amalgamate the 2 clubs as Northampton Sky Blues, or something...

    Coventry council bosses want Sky Blues back at Ricoh Arena as tenants - not owners

    You have got to be joking. The only reason that the majority have maintained interest this long is that we are playing better football than we have for years, off the back of a reasonably successful season last season. If you honestly believe our away support would have been so outstanding if...

    Will A Deal Be Done Before Next Season?

    I don't think they will sort it out. The only hope is that someone comes in and offers SISU money to sell the club, and I don't see that happening either. I said before, and I will say again, as soon as we played one game in Northampton we were finished. I have never wanted to be wrong more.
