    Shrewsbury: A chance for harmony?

    Just seen on the other thread that Shrewsbury Away is looking like a sellout (tickets still available from both clubs so you can still go whatever your persuasion). This is a real opportunity for City fans to have a cohesive, supportive message. I'd like to see some leadership from the trust...

    Choose Your Own Owner

    Been thinking today about my anti-Sisu thoughts and how I see that as the most important thing after a return to Cov. Lots on here quite rightly warn about going out of the frying pan into the fire with Haskell or Byng, others worry about the involvement of the likes of Elliot or other ghosts...

    CCFC memes

    So I'm sick of feeling depressed about CCFC and thought I'd create a few image macros relevant to our situation. Feel free to add your own (memecreator.org).

    If it was PHIV proposing a new stadium...

    What would your response be? Take Sisu-emotion out of it for a second. Let's say tomorrow the GS is found in Ltd, PHIV successfully bids for it and owns the club. He takes a look at the finances, the rent and food deals and says "I think we'd be better off in a brand new stadium more...

    Is the holdup Hoffman, not SISU?

    Most everyone has been blaming SISU for the holdup on the takeover: e.g. they want to cash in, or they are spiteful, or some other theory. To be honest, none of these hold much water when examined in the light of day. However, one party DOES have a motive for drawing the takeover out and...

    Should we cut the Ricoh capacity if we go down?

    Mentioned this before as a way to improve the atmosphere with low crowds and if (when) we go down its more viable IMO. Should we section off say the 10000 seats towards the back of te stadium to move fans closer and create more of an atmosphere. Could have ads, flags or even local artists...

    Anyone else hear GR in CWR?

    Blaming the old council as well said they pushed for SISU over others and their attitude scared off the Manhatten group and other investors. Also said the deal for the Ricoh has always been on harsh terms. Quite scathing about them. Said he never wanted SISU and was forced into selling up...

    Are SISU playing chicken?

    Just has a thought after Brodys comments, may well be putting 2 and 2 and getting 5. Is SISUs great plan to starve the club in the hope the council give in in the hope of saving City? They are well known for playing hardball and may well think that if they let the club get in a worse and...

    Confidence

    I've missed a few games this season, only managed to get to Leicester, Watford and Blackpool at home so far. But what has struck me in the last two games I saw is the difference in the team when we get on the scoresheet. The way we play is so reliant on confidence, it requires players to take...

    Would we stay up with this team?

    Ignoring injuries and suspensions, would this first 11 be good enough to keep us up? Murphy Christie Keogh Cranie Hussey Bigirimana Deegan Thomas McSheffrey Parkin MacDonald

    Should we play the kids on merit?

    So everyone seems to agree that out midfield was the problem with Bell, Baker and McSheffrey all putting in poor performances on Saturday. I think part of the problem is that all 3 are probably best at the point of the diamond, but with no Gunnar and no Deegan we have to play them in the middle...
