But the Telegraph gave him the opportunity to confirm what Fisher said, and he could easily have done that. He could have said something along the lines of “It was disappointing to see that pitch invasion”, and I’d have taken that as a hint that Fisher could be right. As it is, Sharp said they...

I agree with Torch about Phillips, but even more so about Martin. Typical CCFC - we nurtured him through a lot of bad performances, then once he started to look like a really commanding player in our league we disposed of him :( I must admit that when he went, I thought TM must have some...

The (apparent) lack of honesty in communications over several years is worth mentioning: http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/shock-horror-tim-found-out-again.54325/ Seppala and Fisher appear to stand side by side on the stadium plans, and they’ve done little or nothing to counter the...

LOL - just once in a while a post makes my day. Many happy returns, I’d give anything to be 49. I’m a Sagittarian too, glad we are finally getting some much needed publicity. Any chance of a sub-forum for us Nick? We could discuss archery and stuff.

Despite the cynicism on the this thread, the noises coming out of both CCFC and CCC about this seem positive to me – it might just be a great opportunity. Isn’t a new road (effectively a western bypass) intended to link the A46 near Stoneleigh with the A45 or A452? I imagine that would open up...

The quiz is a nice idea, and If they'd had something like this in the 70's, 80's or 90's I'd have scored a minimum of 95. 10 years ago I might have got 60. But I haven't even attempted this one, because I know I'd struggle to get 10 - my unhealthy obsession with CCFC has been cured by Dr...

Not bothering to tell anybody :)

I definitely wouldn’t want CCFC to be taken over by Wasps, but would be happy if an investor took over the whole lot (stadium, CCFC, Wasps). Not saying it’s likely, just hoping. The Wasps/CCFC comparison has never held water. We can’t be moved in the way that they were. Since the...

Thanks for the link - pure magic that got my heart racing a bit, even after all these years. Wasn't Houchen an underestimated player btw?

So more Red Lion than Red Bull?

Cheese and Ndlovu

Wasn't there a walking soup dispenser man called "Soupy Sam" ? Great big sky blue vat of soup, not sure about the flavour - possibly "Primordial"!

I’m no expert, but I think the formations (at least in this country) were pretty much adhered to by everyone until the 1960’s. Players didn’t have squad numbers – you wore the shirt number for the position you were playing on the field that day. No. 7 was on the right wing, he was marked by the...

It wasn’t my immediate reaction Otis, but now you put it like that I’ll try and see it that way. Yes, it’s starting to sound rather cool now I’ve mulled it over - we are no longer in the third division relegation zone. I can feel a wild Saturday night coming on – cheers :)

Match threads are not an experience I can really live with. It’s tenser than watching on teletext, when I often used to miss a heartbeat every time the screen refreshed. When “FFS” appears, I try and convince myself that the poster is only upset about dropping their sausage roll, but deep down...

This is 100% the point for me. Why didn’t the Wasps fans have the will or the ability to stage any sort of fight? If they hadn’t moved out of London in the first place, it would have been impossible for anybody to pull something like the Coventry move. I believe that relocating to Wycombe...

On the Brian Hill thread I posted a couple of scanned team line-ups from the 1960’s. I’ve just been reading JH’s page from one of them (attached). It’s an amazing insight into that period. Fascinating stuff about the effect of the 1966 World Cup which had taken place a few months before...

Nick - these scans of programmes from 1966 will show you how the numbers 1-11 were theoretically lined up for decades. I was quite young in 1966 - and still am :) - but at the time I think I imagined that teams pretty much set out in the formation you see here. But Rupert (in post #12) is...

To Duffer, wherever you may be :) You have argued so persuasively on this over the last couple of days that I am happy to concede that you’re more right about it than I am [Nick, is this a first for SBT?]. Look, it’s not about Wasps, it’s only about the false comparison with CCFC. The only...

Ah – “by definition”. A nice easy black and white statement that no doubt gives you a warm feeling of moral superiority inside. But simplistic bollocks. There isn’t a single one of the 92 (?) league clubs that anyone would contemplate allowing to move to a different area. They all clearly...
