    Car Parking Rip Off

    thegameaintstraight (great name), PR? What's that? I asked the guys on the car park gate on Saturday. They said you got to pay extra if we do go to Cup game 5. I mean, they've actually reduced the number of Cup Vouchers in the book, knowing full well we've got the JPT & FA Cup from First Round...

    Car Parking Rip Off

    Steve, I'll tell him. Cheers. He can actually walk a tiny bit, but fifty yards is a big deal for him. I got the car park pass so doubt whether they'd refund. I'd park on a street myself & walk and stuff the gits. But. Lord - he was actually a pretty good player in his day. I've seen the photos...

    WTF City

    Dean, if you've got a complaint phone ACL on 0844-873-6514. Car parking is overseen by a private company (it says) and they are systematically ripping people off with excessive charges.

    The ground

    Tippex, sure the ground is just part of the problem, but a very big part. I'm not looking at it nostalgically, more from pragmatic ways. A place where everyone in the city that likes football can feel they are connected. Just imagine if you live in Tile Hill, Allesley, those kinds of areas, the...

    Car Parking Rip Off

    Steve, my dad is 84. Comes up from Wales every game. He can't walk, so a car park space is needed.

    The ground

    Tippex, have you been to the Brittania ground? I've been there a good few times but always sit on the sides, hate sitting with City fans (some of our away support are pillocks) and talking with Stoke fans they dislike it a lot. Difficult to get to, no real facilities apart from the usual junk...

    Car Parking Rip Off

    Torchy, it was an amicable conversation but like talking to a brick wall with the guy at Ricoh Parking. Just another sneaky and mean way of squeezing more cash out of us fans. Underhand is a word I'd use. Especially at a point when people are turning their backs on the club. The guy seemed...

    Car Parking Rip Off

    Don't know if any of you have looked in the back of your car park season ticket book lately? There were 4 Cup vouchers there at start of season. Two of them have gone, Birmingham and Burton. Only 2 remaining. Now, in the (possibly unlikely) event of us progressing in any Cups, these two vouchers...

    The ground

    Ajsccfc/Tippex, that's a defeatist 'can't do' attitude if I ever heard one. So we carry on in a two thirds empty bowl. Yeah right, brilliant strategy. One giant leap eh? Who said anything about the Butts? Not me mate. CCFC Germany, who's talking about moving back to HR? Not me. Read what I said...

    Bye Coventry thanks for the memories

    Moff, so glad you've given a bit of serious consideration to how much the Ricoh has become a millstone around our necks. For the immediate and long term future of our club it needs to be investigated. It sounds complicated and far fetched to some but to many it seems a realistic idea. Let the...

    The ground

    I do not like the Ricoh at all. Never did. Even with bigger crowds. Don't like where it is. It is almost not in Coventry. No real 'warm' feeling about the place. Most people can't just walk there, no close by pubs. We get ripped off for car parking (that was the real 'green travel plan,' car...

    Stevenage players staying at Hilton Walsgrave Triangle

    I meant Charlie Cook of course! See you all at the Ricoh in an hour or two. Be there. Support your team.

    Stevenage players staying at Hilton Walsgrave Triangle

    Stevenage at the Hilton. All so sad. Can recall being up there on a Friday night, sitting across from Vialli, Wise & co as Chelsea were here. All playing cards opposite us. & watching Tommy Cook, Chopper Harris Osgood & co fall into the Leofric Hotel in Broadgate about 1970. How far we've slipped.

    Interesting article in the Guardian

    Interesting a few comments here about 'media oblivion.' We all know how the media in this country are fixated on the Premier League. The lower divisions are just ignored. A thirty page Sunday newspaper football section will be 25 pages of Chelski etc. & tiny mentions of the rest. It kind of...

    Why boo a player?

    Evans, by definition booing is not supporting. Someone mentioned 'knuckledraggers' earlier on, that's about right. All teams have them, often overweight guys, lots to drink, a few pies (all part of the day out for them), hardly pay attention to the game, constantly on the lookout for some...

    Scientific calculation on Burton attendance

    Joelly, when I was 17 - late 1960s - (I know, during the war etc!) I was hitchhiking around parts of Europe. What's wrong with you kids! There must be lots of fans coming from your area. Connect up with them and get a lift. We'd love to have you supporting your team. Any fans willing to give a...

    Scientific calculation on Burton attendance

    Dadgad, nothing personal. BUT if anyone counts themselves as a City fan, lives within a reasonable distance and can go and CHOOSES not to, then that is not the act of a supporter. Supporters just support their team. 'Previous results, quality of opposition etc' - absolute rubbish - Not good...

    Scientific calculation on Burton attendance

    Two of us and we're both going. Not an issue. If City are playing I go. My support is not conditional. Thousands for Arsenal and whatever for Burton, about sums up City 'fans.' Too many sick notes.
