I rate Maddison as the best young player we have produced in many years, and I really thought our early season form was largely down to him. It only goes to show how brilliantly TM has done to get us at (or near) the top of the league without him. If he comes back strong, it will be like...

No, but I kind of get what he means - the way Ricketts and Stokes contribute to attacking moves is probably beyond what Willis could do at full back. Prefer him at centre back myself, where he would be good cover I think.

We all feel the same pain SB, but I hope you’re wrong about never having an opportunity. The Ricoh can easily support two successful sports clubs, and in fact is more viable that way. Somebody somewhere must have an answer. I hope I'm not pushing up the daisies by the time it happens.

If it was a simple as that, I’d agree with you. But what the JR said about the events of 2012 was far more complex. There were pages and pages of it, and the judge decided that the actions of the Council and the Higgs were taken to protect themselves from being stitched up. Maybe he was...

That's the one for me :)

Oldham 19th December - £10 adults, £5 concessions, £1 kids I think http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/tickets-coventry-city-oldham-athletic-christmas-cracker-2793931.aspx Cheaper than using a "match package" voucher.

What is the paranoia about? I clicked on the article and he just made that comment as a small part of his summary of the match, without any apparent spin or sarcasm to it. He complimented us on the way the game was played. Then the quote appears on here out of context with an exclamation mark...

Really enjoyed the irony of this.

I suspect that is the voice of experience? I wonder what proportion of CCFC fans have witnessed a promotion (or even two)? Strange as it may seem, for me this is one of the most significant results of the season.

Simon, in no way do I subscribe to the paranoia about bias in the Telegraph, and your journalism is normally very fine by me. However, in this case the article misled me. It’s written in the present tense about a past event - “Boss of Coventry City FC owners writes letter of complaint “, “Joy...

I agree with this principle – a stadium might last for 100 years, so how the hell can you predict the circumstances of a club over such a long time frame? If we ever did move, I’d want something with imagination to it – for example, being able to see the pitch from the concourse at MK is great...

No, he always looked like a fine young player, but he made a couple of high-profile mistakes and some fans crucified him for it. It's happened a few times over the years - the most recent example being Stokes (although he’s not at the same level IMO).

Yes, if Les Reid’s information is correct and CCFC are thinking of an initial 12 – 15K, we would be locking people out for fixtures like yesterday’s. His article also said there was potential for “more than 20,000”, whatever that means. I’m not pre-judging anything the club wants to propose...

There are probably enough toilets, but the entrances are too narrow. Need to ask the landlords to do something about it?

Another thing – Ben Turner dealt with absolutely everything thrown at him today with ease, after only just coming back from major ankle surgery. I believe he may only be contracted until next summer. If we can make it into the Championship, I’d love to think that we could compete with Cardiff...

You might be right - but I haven't seen anything from him this season that suggests he's over the hill at just turned 34. Maybe Wolves were guilty of a bit of "ageism"? Anyway, I'm happy that we are benefitting.

That we need to offer Sam Ricketts a contract for a couple more years - hugely influential.

Some of the posts here have been moving to read. I too experienced the decline of a family member, now no longer with us. But it’s a joy to think how much that person gained in life through what Jimmy Hill did for CCFC. Thanks Jimmy.

I actually get the feeling that the Butts may be a serious plan. I went past the other day, and the existing stand (which I think must easily hold 4000) only occupies a small proportion of the site. It’s still cramped though, and would limit how far the club can go. But if it was done right...

Bobby Gould of course. And Peter Hormantschuk - I always liked him.
