    Stadium MK or Ricoh

    I actually thought Stadium:mk was bloody terrible. We didn't even know it was the stadium as we approached. Looked more like a multi-storey car park. Liked the internal layout when we first got in (open concourse), but half time showed how horribly impractical it was. No pints allowed on...

    Coventry Fan - Racism Claim.

    What's the original source for this, out of interest? As far as I heard, the bloke in question used a term which would be considered racist (and was arrested for it), but not as bad as what's being reported here.

    Fisher on CWR this morning

    Right, I see. So I do have the right idea, but none of it's necessarily accurate, because Fisher is trying to rock the boat. Is the 2nd set of bullet points above effectively what Fisher is trying to achieve? Feel like I'm getting somewhere with this now haha.

    Fisher on CWR this morning

    Well, now this is even more confusing! Here's a different bullet-pointed list. Trying to get my head round everything mk.II! Fisher is trying to worsen ACL's already problematic financial position by non-payment of rent. Concurrently, his press campaign is designed to make the bank think...

    Fisher on CWR this morning

    Been trying to get my head round this. Is the below correct, or am I not following it right? The bank have appointed Deloitte to look at ACL's debts. The bank could then decide to claim money owed by ACL. ACL would go under, and the club would also be forced to pay owed money (rent). The club...

    Boycott food & drink at the Ricoh.

    The hotdog stall has been sold out of bloody hotdogs the last 2 games I've been to. And at the Burton game, the pie stall had run out of pies too. Seriously. No need to boycott, because they've got no bloody food to buy to start with. Don't think I could be doing without my halftime pint...

    Ball boy

    I thought about starting a new thread for this, but it's probably better contained here. I should preface this by saying that I don't know what was said to the ballboy, but what happened was clearly not on, and it's right that the guy is punished. However, with the news that the guy's been...

    I dont have my Bristol tickets. Help!

    If you can get hold of the club they'll probably get it on one of the coaches to Bristol for you, for collection there. Try tweeting the official club account (@Coventry_City), they're normally pretty good at responding, and they might have someone manning it. There's been a tweet from it today...

    pubs for Saturday

    The Flying Standard (the Wetherspoons on Trinity St) quite often has away fans in it before a match. Frequently seen away colours without any trouble. It's right up the road from Pool Meadow too, so handy for getting to the ground. Dunno if that might be different for a derby tho!

    Hoffman Deal For Ricoh Agreed?

    My understanding of how takeovers work is shaky, so feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. But from what i believe- the proposition goes to the board of directors, who assess the bid, and have a legal obligation to decide whether it is in the best interests of the club. If they decide it is, the...

    Middlesbrough fan in peace!

    I think we're in a lot of trouble without Lukas. Aside from when Macca occasionally shows up, he's the only real goal threat we have. Has improved consistently since joining us and always works his socks off. With better service i think he'll do really well. Personally i don't see him as a...

    anyone see / speak ........

    Yep, really! Was surprised to see Ranson there, wonder what his involvement is? This was just after Keys had finished giving a little speech. He talked up Gary Hoffman a bit. Said he should have taken over in August, but didn't, and like all business deals things happen in spurts, but...

    give out leaflets before the bristol game

    I'm totally open to suggestions on modifying it. The main body of text on the leaflet is a post from this forum which i copied and pasted over. If anyone would like to suggest changes or even write a new body of text i'll swap it.

    give out leaflets before the bristol game

    If the idea of getting leaflets properly printed appeals to people, i just chucked this together: Can always re-word it or change stuff if needs be (if people like it, that is). 5,000 of them would set us back £72 on fairprint. That'd only take 15 people chipping in a fiver a piece... Got it...

    Gate today?

    12,600-something was the announcement, but if that includes all ST holders, it'll be less than that in reality. There were quite a few regulars not in block 15 today. The drummer and Jesus were both missing!

    give out leaflets before the bristol game

    In the past i've bought flyers from fairprint.co.uk, and always been really pleased with the price and quality. I normally go for the deal where you can get 5,000 full colour A5 flyers for £72. Doesn't take a lot of people to chip in to raise that. £120 for 10,000- could get one to practically...

    Does anyone know anyone at the CT

    If you're on twitter, some folks to contact may be: @covteled @covtelegraph @covtel_ccfc @martinsmith1979 There's a whole bunch of reporters on there too, just type "Coventry Telegraph" into the search and they all pop up.

    Today's banners

    CAN YOU IMAGINE THE CHAOS IF ALL FOUR BANNERS CAUGHT FIRE AT THE SAME TIME?! LITERALLY A FEW PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE TO MOVE SLIGHTLY, IT WOULD BE MAYHEM! WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING, BRINGING SUCH A FLAMMABLE MATERIAL INTO SUCH A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT?! But seriously, good on the people that...

    Coventry v southampton boycott

    I'd be up for this but only if it was organised and publicised properly. As it is now, i stumbled across it on this little-read forum, then had to trawl through 16 pages to find all the details. That isn't good enough and it will only reach a tiny minority. And after all that, i still don't know...
