    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Wasn't Nellist the one against any major redevelopment of Highfield Road? Before the plans for the Ricoh were announced I seem to remember the club talking about rebuilding the m & b stand, and Nellist stirring the locals around the ground against it.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Administration had been coming for years, we shouldn't have tried to avoid it. We should've gone bust in 2003. However fans and local media towed the club line that the council and Higgs must bail the club out with the Ricoh. That was the defining point in the clubs decline. I'm afraid...

    That can't be true. Coventry City fans are the only ones in the world who turn up in fewer numbers when things are bad.

    You're right that potential investors would analyse attendances. However they would look behind those figures rather than just take them for what they are. I.e. Try to understand the clubs potential. Let's take the 1977-78 season that you quoted. In that season we averaged 23k. You're making...

    I'm sure we all agree that bigger attendances result in greater revenue for the club, and therefore in theory produce a better team. So a league table should be broadly in line with each teams attendances. Bigger the crowds, better the team. However in the 16 years since being relegated...

    Is it even possible to survive?

    The current table suggests 51 points will be needed to stay up. With our poor goal difference its effectively 52 points for us. A bit of a problem considering we can only get a maximum of 50 points. In all honesty, if we're not mathematically down by 5pm this Saturday we will be doing well.

    £60 - An expensive Sleep

    Don't understand why people do this. Yes have a drink to enjoy yourself but why get comatosed or so drunk you don't remember the game? They have missed out on a memory the rest of us will cherish forever.

    There is a difference between mentioning something and having a full on discussion about it. Anyway this has gone on long enough, I have beer that needs drinking. Enjoy tomorrow, we deserve it.

    Re read what I said. I said it's the first discussion I've had about Wasps on here, not that it's the first time I've mentioned them. What exactly is your problem with me anyway? Have I said anything positive about Wasps anywhere?

    You choose to take my words as an insinuation. I'm not responsible for how you interpret things. As for "straight on to defending Wasps" I signed up 9 days ago and this is the first discussion I've had about them. In fact I made about 30 posts before anything in this topic. Ranging from the...

    Quoted my words where I didn't accuse anyone of anything? This was a mature and decent conversation at first. That was until you and others decided to start accusing me of being a troll and launch a tirade of foul language my way. Aren't you as an admin supposed to uphold the idea that a...

    I didn't say anyone had did I? I signed up 9 days ago and made plenty of posts before even mentioning Wasps. Are you the admin, because I have to say your not doing a very good job of welcoming new fans on here. I had expected this to be somewhere where all Sky Blues fans could discuss the...

    Wow, considered a troll for having a different opinion to yourselves. I really don't know what has become of my club. The one thing that has kept my hope alive these last 15 years is the knowledge that Coventry City fans had loyalty to each other. Disregarding a fellow supporter as a troll...
