Seems Mark is again throwing innuendo out about all and sundry again. Sounds very much like toe the line or else. Sorry Mark, we don't trust a word you say.

Can't think why anyone would think I've given up on my club. Having supported them with a passion since the mid 1950s and having missed 5 home games in all those years. And travelled to more away games than most posters on here have had hot dinners, I don't think I could be any more 'emotionally...

Hopefully the FL will get a copy of this with the relevant paragraphs highlighted. A couple of Coventry references slightly off but thanks for writing it. It can do us no harm.

Interesting the article reads....."Coventry fans can take the lead by setting up a phoenix club, however heart-breaking and letting the SISU owned entity shrivel." For what it's worth I'd prefer the original CCFC to survive with decent owners. But it is looking increasingly like the above will...

Oli asks the very simple question.... "....... if you have been offered to play at the Ricoh with reduced rent. Is it not worth going back?" Now to me that seems the most relevant, pertinent question anyone could pose at the minute. Pure and simple. And the pure and simple answer to...

Oli, they weren't kicked out. They left so as to cause as much trouble financially for the owners of the stadium as they could. In the hope of bankrupting them. And then picking up the stadium dirt cheap. There is a perfectly good and radically reduced rent offer on the table to Sisu...

Yes he's a real City legend if ever there was one. Think a lot of people were surprised when he left. Think it was the club balancing the books. Brought in Ernie Hunt, Ernie Hannigan, Maurice Setters, Chris Cattlin - so Cantwell sold him. Hannigan never did a lot and was a poor replacement. So...

Rupert, I managed to get DVD copy of that Huddersfield game. You're right, no motorways. Do recall the coach trips, everywhere seemed to take ages. Ronnie Rees, how fast was he. Amazing considering people say he was a thirty a day bloke.

Are we nearly there yet?

Thanks for putting this up. Looking at that stand, no way is there 1,697 in the ground. More like 800. It's virtually empty.

Wish someone would 'blow the whistle' on those bastards Sisu.

Duffer, morals and Sisu don't even go there.

Was at the first game we played there in the top division and to be honest it was so steep it was scary. The record books tell me it was October 1967. And there were 33,000 there. Looking up from the terracing to the roof above was a bit surreal. So steep and high. & you got the usual surges in...

OLDSKYBLUE58, it demonstrates to what lengths Sisu will go to achieve their aims. Disgraceful, they have no morals. & allegedly their CEO is a devout Christian. Beggars belief.

Bringbackrattles, funny I can remember those days better than today. But just to remind me I have all the books on City. I was just a year or so before you. 1959. Can vaguely recall some of it. Rain on the Kop mostly. But where you came in was the best point. Jimmy Hill got us really going...

For anyone interested the players are Jimmy Whitehouse, got him from Reading. He was a very good signing. Scored goals. Humphries, Hugh Barr. We got him from Linfield. He actually played part time I understand. Was a schoolteacher too. We had another teacher on the books at the same time, Bryn...

Thanks for putting this up. Willie was brilliant. Think I've still got my little plastic sky blue star badge with his face on it in a box somewhere. He was my favourite as a kid. We were robbed in that Quarter final against Man United. A perfectly good goal ruled out. Could've done with goal...

Perhaps Sisu could watch the film on fan owned clubs?

CCFC has the potential to outdo Cardiff, Norwich, Fulham, WBA, all those types of clubs, in terms of attendance. Quite easily. We have owners who had the chance to buy half a share in ACL from day one, for the price of what they will almost certainly lose in this Sixfield madness, just this...

Always look for FC United's results. Hope they get into the Conference North this season. Good luck to them.
