It really depends how big a crowd doesn't it. The BPA obviously holds plenty enough for the level we're talking about, and Cov United have just given up their slot...

The BPA is the obvious place if there's moderate crowd interest. If we're talking handfuls at first then any half decent pitch would do, maybe the Higgs or the University. It doesn't have to be a Saturday 3pm fixture so there are a number of options.

I'd pay to watch that too! I like the idea of something a bit fairer like perhaps the ABBA penalty order thing, but I'm still not quite sure how that works...

I always thought that the guy who took them over was a dreamer with nothing substantial behind him. It's a kick in the teeth for the people who followed the side at the BPA, but perhaps inevitable that the club couldn't survive in its current form. Is there a gap now for a CCFC women's team...

If you really cared about the club you'd convert to fundamentalist Mormonism and bring us in at least half a new squad. 😁

I've driven a few Porsches, none of them mine of course (and not nicked either!). Downhill corners in the wet is supposed to be the widow maker for rear engined cars, iirc, but by the time I was old enough to borrow one I was way too careful to find out. 😄 Had a good go in their 4x4 monster...

You'd have to hope for an uplift on last season wouldn't you, I'm sure that some new fans will have got the bug, and I don't see many old ones drifting away. Plus, at least according to the council's figures, there's also the literally tens of thousands of Wasps fans in the city, with millions...

I thought the real reason that the Imp was built by Scottish nailbenders 🙂 was that Rootes was bribed by the government to shift production there. I think the theory that if you can weld a 3" thick steel plate on a 50,000 tonne ship, then you can install a fiddly dashboard on a small car was...

Back on topic though, I can't see that King has done much wrong yet, but I think "trust but verify" is always going to be the right approach towards anyone daft enough to buy a football club. Especially ours. 🙂

Sergio Costalot is an absolute steal at £5m, totally ripped up FIFA 23 for me. We should snap their hands off. 😁

Best: Houchen's header and the final whistle in 1987. Honourable mentions: Speedie chipping the goalie at various grounds. Any Big Mo dribble. Peter Ndlovu leaving Liverpool players on their arses. Worst: Can't think of many. Lloyd McGrath breaking his leg in a nothing game, perhaps...

“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked. “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.” A line from Hemingway, says Google. It's also the story of rugby's Premiership.

Don't get this at all. All of us started as fans somewhere. If it hadn't been for the unexpected glory and joy of 86-87 I doubt I would have stuck around for 87-88, let alone the next few decades. Pretty much everyone who went to Wembley in the Cov end either had a season ticket, or had...

Possibly not Panzo. I think he was probably still shaking!

And next season I'll make sure to collect my points properly! 🙂

It is what it is. They finished ahead of us in the league and we weren't quite good enough to beat them on the day. No bitterness here, we've done brilliantly well to get this far and this takes nothing away from Robins and the team. Go again next year with a ground that solely ours and an...

On the upside, we'd have to go some to have a worse half than that. Time for some Robins magic...

Doesn't look any better on the telly, fwiw...

Handy for next year's FA Cup final. 😁

Thank you mate, very kind of you guys to say so. Give it a day or two though, and I'll be banging on about something random and boring everyone rigid again. 😂 Hope everyone is having a great time down there - stay hydrated! 😁
