    Having to play home games 20 miles away from our city in front of less than half the crowds we would be getting at the Ricoh isn’t favourable. In reality we haven’t had a home game this year.

    No. He stayed on until Cantwell was appointed in the October of 1967. We had a really difficult start to life in the first division.Gould, the leading scorer from the promotion season was out injured for a long time. George Curtis broke his leg in the 4th minute of the second game. There were...

    I just listened to the interview from the link above. I thought you were excellent in the way that you stuck to your message.In particular,I thought that you answered the questions about the Trust was really well done and avoided making conflict with them the issue. I didn’t think Phil Upton was...

    You were brave to go in there in the first place.

    Public Demo Question

    We had the protest outside by the statue last time. Thing it needs more than that.

    Public Demo Question

    I would do it but we would need more than the 21 who turned up last time.

    Public Demo Question

    I think any demo needs to be at a Wasps game as the publicity and focus needs to be on them at the moment. After last season’s effort it would need to be much more widely publicised an supported to have an effect. I think a group being inside the Ricoh at a televised Wasps match would be best.

    I thought that considering their’facilities’. The toilet at the back of the stand would easily win my vote for the worst football toilet visited.

    I thought Pask was okay against BR but he certainly wasn’t brilliant.He was athletic, fast, put some good crosses in and scored a goal but overall was no where near as good as Dabo. That’s fine as it was his debut and he was playing a new position. I just wouldn’t get carried away and think he...

    Look at the match day thread for a home game and see how many are on Ifollow. A good number of those are local.

    I agree, an increasing number don’t I think.

    Blues Game

    The away fans coming to St Andrews or the Ricoh put money into our club. Same thing applies if they decide it’s easier and cheaper staying at home and watching Ifollow.

    I think he is a much better player than a JCH, even on a good day. All about opinions!

    Blues Game

    What is the incentive to travel to away games if I can watch it at home for £10. My day out in Doncaster cost me about £40 in fuel and ticket, plus £3 for a cup of tea. I left at 11.30 got back at 7. Watching on TV is no where near as good as being there, but if you weigh up the options I think...

    Strength in depth

    He laid the ball off yesterday for Shipley’s goal, made another chance for him with a deft lay off in the first half. He won a fair amount in the air considering he was up against two giants. The only half chance I remember him having is the cross from Dabo which he flicks with the inside of his...

    12362 with the community game.11709 if you don’t count it. I would have thought that greater away followings was one of the perks of being in the Championship. It will be the same for all clubs.

    No one would take anything away from Sillett or Hill but Robins should be given the credit he deserves. When JH took over he transformed the club but he did so with the backing of a hugely supportive and wealthy chairman. Robbins gave Hill £35k, a massive amount in the early sixties, to buy a...

    We were in desperate straits when Robins took over the second time. I think the third game of his second stint was at home to Southend. We lost 2-0 and I have never witnessed such an abject performance before and that is saying something considering how bad we have been at times over the years...
