    Pre-season 2017/18 - Tournament at Nuneaton

    I remember going to the Bayern Munich friendly back in the 97/98 season, might have been some kind of anniversary of when we played them in European competition. I thought they would bring a reserve side, so was amazed to see the likes of Oliver Kahn, Lothar Matthaeus, and Giovanni Elber. I...

    The Good Business Sense of SISU

    I quite like what a number of fans of Wycombe Wanderers did, the '5000 Club' I think they were called. They invested their own money in to purchasing certain (good) players. I guess though due to third party ownership they had to give the money to the club with some kind of caveat. I wonder if...

    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    I cannot believe the Coventry Telegraph are running a reaction piece on the Season Ticket prices. I cannot believe the hypocrisy of that rag: the quality of their stories deteriorates (more often than not having nothing to do with the Coventry and Warwickshire region: "here's something you can...

    covs premier league goal scorers

    Officially got 23, but actually got 24: I was putting in Trond Soltvedt, Trond Egil Soltvedt, so at least one of the quizzes answers is factually inaccurate...or an alternative fact

    Top 8 budget

    Ah, but our owners have allegedly banged in over £100 million from their own pockets, if that financial bloke was to be believed o_O But we still have a low(ish) budget

    Top 8 budget

    Hear hear. I heard an amazing statistic that Huddersfield Town sitting in 3rd place in the Championship, have the same budget as Rotherham United, who have been relegated.

    George Thomas

    I will hold my hands up and say that at the start of the season and after the Nuneaton pre season, I did not think he would cut it as a striker. He looked as though he needed an extra second or two to think about what to do with the ball. However, this judgement was based on him being played as...

    Have we sold out for Wembley?

    I thought that the bastards running this club got a fixed amount, irrespective of how many fans bought tickets?

    Wembley Train Tickets

    If people are struggling with train tickets, another option might be to drive to Luton parkway, from where you can take the train to West Hampstead Thameslink, then the Jubilee line 5 stops to Wembley. A daysaver travelcard for the whole return journey including the underground works out to be...

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    It could work if the volume of people is sufficient to attend the matches as at League 1 or 2 level the costs such as wages could be covered by having a strong home attendance. I think we generated a small loss a couple of seasons ago, based on generated revenue of around £6 million (I have not...

    New potential site for our new stadium

    If any of my ticket money would be lined up to in any way, shape or form pay to assist in the building or maintenance of yet another vanity project for the city of Birmingham then this club can fuck right off

    Only half a chance though, as we'd still have Burge in goal

    What needs to be done now

    I think the chances of SISU just going are nil, same chances as anyone buying the club for what (or near) SISU want, so therefore what needs to happen is to somehow target being rid of Fisher, who basically nobody trusts. I think that if SISU still own the club, then the next best thing short of...

    Players That You Would Keep, Or Get Rid Of: Post Relegation

    He has not been played in his best position since last season. He is the only one who can spot a pass in this current clusterfuck of a team (save Stevenson, who will no doubt be sold anyway). He is not a winger, which is where Slade puts him for 10 minutes thinking he can turn a game round...

    Players That You Would Keep, Or Get Rid Of: Post Relegation

    Keep: K Thomas, RCC as back up goalkeeper, Lameiras offer of a new contract on reduced terms in accordance with a League 2 player, but play him in the number 10 role Get ride: The rest, they are all a joke and a disgrace.

    Coach Prices ?

    A question was asked earlier in this thread about car parking in the City Centre, I'm not 100% sure how much Fairfax Street charges, but I know that Belgrade Plaza car park is £1 all day on a Sunday
