    Ah... so you heard. Didn't actually witness it yourself? Hey, did I ever tell you my friend told me her cousin's, friend's, ex-boyfriend's, sister's mate got served a fried rat at that chip shop in the Burgess/West Street. Interestingly, there seem to be variations on the myth. Some say it...

    Grendel is saying Sexton "...retained his dignity and he kept the club away from relegation against impossible odds" and that isn't really true. He had a bunch of Under 21 internationals (at a time when U21s were usually in the first team) and they massively underperformed. I would say the...

    Look at the other sides Sexton was up against... the 1980s financial powerhouses of Swansea, Watford, Notts County, Luton and Brighton and Hove Albion were all in the first division in 1982-83. I suspect there was a transfer budget, but Sexton wanted to go with what he had. He did bring a...

    Sexton was only here two seasons and I think all of the 'youth' players you will be referring to had already been recruited by the club by the time he arrived. Oh... and Sexton didn't exactly get along with Gerry Daly and so froze one of the club's best performers over the 80-81 season out of...

    I haven't avoided anything. You keep making nonsense statements about processes you clearly do not understand. As you seem to get offended when it is pointed out that you don't know what you're on about, perhaps you should stop trying to present yourself as the font of all knowledge. You've...

    Your post is meaningless - the consultation isn't even a central government department function. If you really want to understand what I meant I suggest you look into the processes that are followed when building a new relief or link road. I really do recommend you take a break from this.

    You ask, why now? Answer: The Issues and Options Consultation for the A46 strategic relief road. But then you're in planning, so you knew all about that already.

    I think you know enough about planning to know that for any site in Coventry the council could have imposed massively expensive infrastructure improvements that aren't really necessary, but are always difficult to argue against and would not breach any legislation. Look at the ridiculous...

    Like I say, it is difficult to know what has gone on because none of the parties involved have been particularly forthcoming. I want to support my club in Coventry and the only way I can see that happening long term is if there is a new stadium.

    I suspect some of the statements were cack and were given because the owners were playing for time. But, we don't know the full story of what has been going on behind the scenes so it is difficult to dismiss all the of the statements out of hand.

    That's not really fair. Brighton and Hove Council was very supportive. Selective misquoting? I think you'll find you misquoted the timeline for the stadium development in Brighton (I'm not a mind reader, but I suspect you ignored the period when Archer and Co. were talking about a new ground).

    Seven years for a statement? Well, it's not really seven years as there have been previous statements. I think we both know it would be unwise for those involved in a new stadium to provide information until they really needed to. Information leaked around the Butts suggests the council has...

    These things take time. Look at the Brighton example you have mentioned previously. The Goldstone was sold in July 1995 and it was announced a new ground was to be built. The first game at the Amex wasn't until July 2011 - that's 16 years later. Of course, the Seagull's task was easier...

    Like you say, we'll have to agree to disagree. Regards a prospective new stadium, I think we really don't have enough information to simply dismiss the idea. Personally, I am keeping an optimistically open mind at the moment.

    I think that I am right in saying that work was done to alter the front to rear pitch of the terrace when the West Terrace was made all seater (I have seen photos of the work underway). Given that work was done to alter the slope, there is no excuse for the legroom being too small. Other...

    Well...perhaps. It might be argued that the financial services industry has an equally comprehensive complaints process. In terms of 'Joe Soap' making a complaint about something that might cause an organisation embarrassment, I would suggest his chances of success against a financial...

    It seems to me that you are the one making insults about mental health - you keep suggesting people are imagining conspiracies. I wasn't trying to insult you, I really think you you need help. I think it would be good for you to log off this website and give yourself a few days break.

    Depressingly, that reminds me of the footage that was on TV when we signed Sandy Roberston.

    Your 'count' is inaccurate, as almost everything else you try to peddle. I feel embarrassed for you. You really need to take a break from here.

    I understand what you are saying. What is interesting is supporters of other teams also seem to look back on HR with fondness and seem less keen on the Ricoh. I have always thought the Ricoh disappointing. It is difficult to get to, the stadium design isn't great for watching football, the...
