Wait until Da Costa is fit

Looks set up for 4-5-1 and reverting to 5-3-2 second half Giles playing the old left wing position which for some reason is now called wide-left and Hamer the same on the right puts a lot of pressure on Walker to produce though...fingers crossed

Not doubting that but £1.25 million was at that time massive money impossible to turn down and could have financed the purchase of a number of very good players improving the teams ability, it wasn’t it was spent on the white elephant Sky Blue Connexion the whole project cost the club money and...

Hill caused as much damage to ccfc than he did good, no great things as manager. A number of his policies cost us money we could ill afford, the all-seater fiasco cutting our average gates at a stroke and remember this all seater wasn’t new posh stands like what happens now it was seats on...

I think going back a few years when Bryan Richardson was yahooing having a station at the Ricoh to ferry the hordes of punters to our super duper new ground was a pipe dream just like his national stadium bollox. But Boris says Brexit is oven ready.

Can see someone swooping for him in January, hot property now.

O’Hare could definitely do a job alongside Walker or Godden a little ferret type of player always buzzing about could be a real handful so long as we pass to him correct.

We did that regular, we were only kids 12/13 you could go to an away match with less than a quid go to Canley station get a platform ticket get off at Cov so you track side of the barrier scank onto the Sky Blue special and move about to dodge the ticket inspector. Went all over my parents...

I don’t suppose many know this but Noel Cantwell had a £100000 bid, a huge sum in those days for Mick Channon turned down.

We have a train station at the Ricoh how many fans have you seen using it ?

The Dell was one of the strangest looking grounds around with those tiered terraces behind the goals, City fans were everywhere that day took over all the boozers looking back I’d say it was a good bit more than 7000. This was also the early days of hooliganism but at the end thankfully every...

Ours was always not too bad but the likes of Derby and Villa were awful from early season deliberately by their managers Brian Clough and Ron Saunders and both clubs did well especially at home.

A perfect summing up of a very irrational manager. Go and find out what Vinny Jones thinks of him after his stint of the Wales job or Robbie Savage or Ryan Giggs.

It was said Paul Culpin was one of best finishers we ever had but away from the goal area he couldn’t play as in passing and team play etc if memory serves me correct I think he scored in the first couple of minutes on his debut

Yes: That was v Chelsea in the league cup on a rain sodden HR pitch we absolutely battered them but poor old Setters attempted to pass back to goalkeeper Glazier on the ball stuck in a puddle and I think it was Peter Osgood ran through scored and they nicked the game 1-0

Old Setters knocked the United star studded forward line of Best, Law and Charlton from pillar to post another thing that day was the league debuts of Ernie Hunt and Chris Cattlin another hard bastard.

We beat United 2-0 that day Ernie Machin got the other goal.

Just heard Maurice Setters has died. He was the inspirational hard man of our first year in the top flights successful relegation fight. We would have certainly gone down if it was not for him. R.I.P.

Well it’s a start don’t see it getting back to how it was for a good while but as said it has to start some how.

Personally I think it will be well into next year but how would this 4000 figure should it happen relate to ground size 4K in Old Trafford is a lot different to say 4K at Bournemouth for example. I listened to a radio chat about this the other day and they chewed this around and reckoned when...
