Andy Thorn had to make do with Cody McDonald because our owners wouldn’t stump up the extra (relatively small) amount of money which was needed for his prime target – Adam le Fondre. He was twice the player, and that WOULD have been a good signing - I really believe we would not have been...

A huge “thank you” to Michael for organising this – he’s in a difficult position trying to come up with things that draw attention to the cause, yet won’t split the fans. On this occasion, it was a really effective and dignified protest - and a perfect response to the pathetic personal attack...

Message received and understood, just before I left the house. Thanks for that, much appreciated - might have saved me a big parking fine :-) Other posters - please ignore, unless you are seriously addicted to conspiracy theories!

Just to counter this pathetic assertion that going to an away FA Cup tie somehow conflicts with my refusal to attend matches at Sixfields. I don’t go to Sixfields because AS A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE Coventry City Football Club should not stage its home games in Northampton, when the move was NOT...

Thanks for that “Chief”, I bow to your knowledge. Boy could we do with a major investor that would see off ALL of the protagonists in our dispute!

If I’m not mistaken, SISU have said a few times that they wanted to “bring in” AEG to run the Ricoh. AEG were described in the Telegraph as an “events management company”, but if I’ve looked at the right website they look MUCH bigger than that to me. They not only own and / run over 100...

Regardless of administrative boundaries, Old Trafford and the City Ground are clearly in Manchester and Nottingham respectively. You can argue all day about whether Exhall is in Coventry or not (it comes down to whether you regard Bedworth and Coventry as one place). It doesn’t matter – what...

Once got “sandwiched” in the urinals by Ian Wallace and John Beck :o

In a Telegraph article back in September (http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-miss-eight-week-target-6039709), it was stated “CBRE [the Property Consultant] is providing regular updates to the Football League as part of the process.” Bingo – the fans’ friends at...

This is a rare opportunity. The plan is to print “a few thousand”, but the impact would be far greater if you could print enough for everyone in the ground i.e. including the Arsenal fans as well. I think I’m right in saying that this match is included for Arsenal season ticket holders, so I...

Don’t they? I reckon that maintaining silence would be very dangerous. The Club has made a number of quite specific public statements about stadium discussions which have taken place with Local Authorities, but the formal FOI responses don’t appear to tally. I see various possibilities:- 1)...

Yes

I can well imagine that kind of statement – nice :-) But unfortunately it would fail to dispel accusations being made (not by me) that the Club has deliberately misled the supporters. Are there two local authorities actively engaged with the Club about stadium plans, or are we (as it would...

As I said in another post, I’m assuming that CCFC will very soon put out a good explanation for the APPARENT discrepancy between their public statements about stadium discussions, and the FOI replies which have been received from various Councils. No doubt what goes on behind the scenes is...

So presumably you were happy when the Football League, in response to SISU’s rent dispute with the Council, gave CCFC permission to play in Northampton for THREE TO FIVE YEARS? I say they have betrayed the proper fans, bending their own rules to breaking point, and I stand by my view that they...

I agree. But I'd like to see some direct targetting of the Football League, to shame them into changing their "we can't do anything" stance. "FOOTBALL LEAGUE BETRAY REAL FANS" ?

I agree that the Arsenal match is a great opportunity to make waves. Forget trying to influence SISU or the Council – throughout this dispute, they’ve both proved many times that the fans come a distant second to their vested interests. It’s time to REALLY target the Football League & FA, and...

The psychological effect of travelling BEYOND Coventry to ANOTHER TOWN is more significant I think.

No. Why should the people of Bedworth host COVENTRY’S FOOTBALL TEAM and put up with all the hassle (including hordes of visiting fans every fortnight if we are still in the Football League by then) when the city has a first-class stadium of its own? If this turns out to be the plan, it’s a...

I feel EXACTLY the same Otis. I just don’t mind about the results any more, and it used to matter so much to me. Many people are assuming that when this is sorted out all the fans will automatically come back, but they are wrong. Long term damage to the fan-base has already been done, and I...
