    The good the bad and the ugly MK Dons stadium

    I wish to register a complaint about one of their stewards. I’m 55 but don’t look it. I do look well hard though and I’m a veteran of the old West End. Cheeky bastard waved me through without a search. Well offended!

    A Thankyou

    Mine took me to HR in 1969. Elsewhere on another thread is a vlog made by my lad yesterday who’s now 16 and Sky Blue mad, keeping the faith going. He’s never seen us in the top flight and he’s 16! Just hope he gets his chance.

    MK Away Picture Thread

    My mrs often says that it’s funny how “wanker” is such a term of abuse used by men for each other really when it’s probably what most have in common! She’s a bit harsh.

    Another confessions time anyone??

    I know someone who comes on here who regularly goes to Wasps games.

    Been a long time.

    It’ll be terrible, all that bloody high-pitched squealing. Be as bad as being at home with the stepson (who has the musical taste of a 12 year old girl) having Ed Sheeran blaring out morning noon and night. Bah!

    MK Dons - Ticket Sales Thread

    Priority should be reviewed game by game. Four of us are season ticket holders. My view is that each of us should be in the first priority group for a ticket each. If the allocation is 300 - 1000 then we might not get one. If, as for this match, the allocation equals or exceeds the number of...

    Is The FA Cup Becoming a Millstone To Us?

    It’s time to put this ‘glory hunters’ bollocks to bed once and for all. Nobody supports Cov for glory! Football is an entertainment that costs money to attend with no guarantee of a pleasant experience. There will always be a range of commitment, from the fanatic who goes to every youth and...

    Sorry to raise this again / Dale Evans

    Or a colleague of mine whose house in North Warwickshire was in the way of the proposed M42. He was having a pretty acrimonious correspondence with a bloke at the department of transport called Richardson. Some of the lads got hold of DoT headed notepaper and sent him a letter requisitioning...

    Sorry to raise this again / Dale Evans

    I don’t like to brag, but... I’d need to go back over the initial radio interview to pinpoint whether it was 30 seconds in or 42 when I realised it was a bunch of arse. He lost me at “I won the money at poker”.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Chesterfield Match Thread 1st Jan 2018

    Big chance here. It’s about time we put someone to the sword. Could have had 6 or 7 against Wycombe quite easily. It’s just that City have such a habit of giving suckers an even break. After nearly 49 years of supporting them I don’t think I’ll ever get into the mindset of expecting a win...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Anything is better than the status quo whereby at the end of the season we have no home. Imagine that we did the same to say Huddersfield. Mount a hostile takeover of their ground and move the club there to do so. Would you defend that? That’s in effect what that bunch of parasitical...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    I suppose if you’d been French in 1940 you’d have said that the Germans weren’t going anywhere so we might as well get on with them. A non-deluded CCFC fan would be hoping that Wasps do fuck off and give us a chance of getting our ground back. A realistic CCFC fan understands that will happen if...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    As Rob Andrew confirms in his recent book there is a very strong desire for franchising within rugby’s higher echelons. In fact he was a co-author if the so-called ‘Andrew Plan’ whereby there would be 3 Premiership club franchises in the South-West, 2 in the Midlands and so on. So Coventry RFC...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    It’s really very simple. We are where we are, Wasps own and inhabit the stadium that was built for us so as things stand we no longer have a ground. As CCFC supporters where do we want to be? In our own ground presumably. How will that come to pass? If Wasps financial gamble fails, that’s...

    Vale hooligans

    The 70s was a different world. The West End was a terrace with the Cov mob packed in behind the goal. About level with the goalpost was a crash barrier running almost from the back to the front and another about a yard parallel. This gangway was filled with coppers and the away mob therefore...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Bottom line is that it’s a free country and people can choose their entertainment and loyalties. A range of Wasps fans: those who supported them before they came here - fine, carry on and sorry for the inconvenience; those who want to see top class rugby with or without their kids - ok-ish...

    Vale hooligans

    What happens is the bully, the coward or the thug latches on to a situation. In the 70s every away Man U game saw thousands descend wherever they were playing, overwhelming the police and the local fans, a field day for the bullies, a lot of whom were from that town. Then it was Chelsea. Leeds...
