Are there covenants in place? The recent Rugby Local Plan out for consultation just says (on page 22) "Implementation of site allocation DS3.9 can only occur when adequate replacement of pitch provision is made to the satisfaction of Rugby Borough Council and Sport England in accordance with...

Sadly it has NEVER looked like our stadium, especially from the outside. OK, the RICOH logos needed to be red, but whose idea was it not to make the superstructure sky blue? And inside, the tiny badges always were an embarrassment, made doubly so now by the correctly-sized Wasps ones. If and...

I feel like a kid watching helplessly while a dog chews my oldest and most cherished toy to pieces. And all the adults just seem to be arguing with each other, instead of doing something about it.

Hill, although we are adrift in an open boat on this ocean of despair, you sometimes make me laugh out loud. It’s like one of the wreck survivors has salvaged a cassette player and is playing the Benny Hill music. Thanks for cheering me up.

Doesn't seem like it to me ... http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/i-wont-burden-club-tony-11953597 And besides, Hill is watching the most authoritative source avidly for us, and not seen any confirmation yet.

“Positive and constructive” talks about the Academy, and (unless I’ve missed something) barely a response from anyone on here - not juicy enough material to argue about all day and night? I do realise it’s probably just another false dawn or somebody playing games, but there’s hope in the...

Crowley’s tweet claims it was “SISU’s unwillingness to budge on the BPA deal” that led to CA leaving. Does that wording suggest that CA saw a viable way forward at the Butts, but SISU’s intransigence somehow scuppered it? As I think someone once memorably said on here, we are being treated...

Some very creative suggestions, but surely it doesn't need anything more complex than the old Oggy chant ... Bigi Bigi Bigi! Oi Oi Oi! (etc.)

Hardly anybody was wrong - in reality just a small number of people on here wrote him off, based on what I don't really know. A few mistakes? I'm really glad that Bigi is back playing in a Sky Blue shirt.

There’s a photo of SISU’s legal team in the CT article. Is it just my imagination, or are they arranged in a downward spiral?

Great haul of China is changing European football and up to 30 more billionaires are looking to invest in clubs Might be worth the Trust sellotaping some ads in post office windows in Shanghai? We can at least dream - I mean some of these people must have the clout to sweep up the whole lot...

Have we now reached it? Losing tamely to the mighty Fleetwood Town in front of three thousand people, next to bottom in the third division, injury-affected squad full of mostly raw young players, no home to call our own, Academy under threat, owners universally despised, minimal budget, fan...

I didn’t know too much about Robbie at the time we signed him, except that opinion was divided on him, and going along to the game was hoping we hadn’t blown £6 million on a duff player. Within the first couple of minutes it was obvious he was pure class, and his debut goes down as one of the...

Thanks for the screen shots Nick – where did you find them because I’m damned if I can. I mean, the season is well underway and (incredibly) the Ticket Prices page of the official website still just says “Matchday ticket prices for the 2016/17 season will be released soon”. And when I sign in...

Saw Harries play in a pre-season friendly last year, and it was obvious he was going to be a fine player. After last night’s performance I am even more convinced, and I too found myself comparing his style with John Stones and Gary Gillespie (who would definitely be in my all-time CCFC 11)...

I haven’t had time today to read all the stuff, but I took the trouble to watch Mr. Fisher’s speech to the Committee. I know people are saying that it wouldn’t have made any difference what he said – but his performance was utterly shambolic, inept and pointless. So much so that I find it hard...

Earlier on, I was largely persuaded by Fisher’s letter to the Council, and taken on its own it made perfect sense. But reading that correspondence from CSF, the mind boggles at how badly CCFC have handled all the important decisions and relationships. It’s mental. We seem to bend over...

Yes, when reading this letter I found myself agreeing with just about everything, although as someone pointed out, it could have been 90% shorter :) It’s one of the rare occasions when I feel that the owners of the club may actually be standing up and fighting for our legitimate interests...

I agree - I'm a bit surprised that CCFC haven't made any reference to the combined effect of the two developments i.e the Wasps plan and the swimming pool plan, which is separate and hasn't been submitted yet, but is in the public domain. Not sure about the procedures around that, but no doubt...

Although you can’t appeal against a permission, there is still a way for it to be reviewed. From the links OSB provided (post #6), if the Council give permission in the Green Belt, the Government (Secretary of State) will have 21 days to decide whether to call it in. If so, it would result in...
