Oh dear you are clearly a one sport (nearly) kind of guy. Side screens in cricket are white and are used so the bowler can see the ball when it is bowled ie red ball against white ground. When the bowler runs up he is also partially against the white background of the side screen. Its not...

You quite clearly are a dwarf if that photo is at eye level.

How can it be incomparable. Cricketer wearing white runs up against a backdrop of completely white. Can you see him or not? Answer yes you can quite easily unless your totally blind. The Government should be taking note of this thread as we've quite clearly wasted a shed load of money on...

The picture is taken 1 foot off the ground so unless we have a team of dwarves it's irrelevant. There is such a thing a perspective and most people are viewing stuff from at least 5 1/2 feet up so unless your playing all your football five feet from the edge of the pitch the background won't...

Seriously though, when a bowler runs up in a test match wearing all white does the batsman not see him coming because of the side screen? A few weeks ago our poor play was down to people booing and now it's the seats. How about the players, although it may be an odd concept?

I'm struggling to believe what I'm reading in this thread. We play crap in an empty ground, crap away from home in half full or full grounds with seats and also some standing areas and we always seem to lose everytime a big crowd comes to the Ricoh as well. It's a lame excuse and I can't believe...

Jesus, 50 odd years and only missed 3 home games? You're even madder than me. Its not often I find someone more insane than me. I'm outside the ground now doing some shopping and it seems a bit odd not to be going but I'm seriously fed up with it so a day will do me good I reckon. Enjoy it and...

After seeing more abysmal games of football (and an average of about 25 City games per year for 27 years means I've seen quite a few) than I think I deserve I am giving this game a wide berth. Yes, you can say its a problem with the club if you like but we are in league 1 and playing as poorly...

Just because the figures are published doesn't mean it tells the whole truth. Its funny how everyone moans about the club overstretching themselves and paying the price and then moaning like bitches because SISU don't want to throw money down the bottomless pit. You (and I don't literally mean...

Just a fact that you and the other 5000 can ignore if like and my 27 years as a season ticket holder does make me a real supporter so thanks for noticing.

No humble pie here mate. I stand by what I said. When I say the council got 100% of the cash, I mean they saw an opportunity and used the cash to get what they wanted and certainly didn't help us out of the goodness of their heart. Figures seem to vary depending on where you look and who you...

I don't think you'd see many more turn up if it was free. Its a non event.

You need to get your facts right or don't pass comment. The club went to the Council to get financial help in the funding of Ricoh (this is all after Richardson was long gone) it was supposed to be a 50/50 joint venture deal. The club did not have the money to complete the purchase of the...

There is no way these players are too good for this league or even the wrong type of players for this league. We have already seen against Arsenal reserves that a good 6-1 drubbing is on the cards, so they clearly aren't too good for the Prem, even with Bartons clear Premier League skill level...

Just not sure what sort of squad we will have for this title challenge next season when our budget is dramatically reduced and we can't attract anyone decent to play for us. I have no idea what sort of budget we will have but I'm expecting it to be at least half of this season and probably less...

The council screwed us so they could get the Tesco cash, get revenue out of the Ricoh and they left the club high and dry. Don't tell me the council give a shit about the tax payer. We have the worst city centre in England.

By up there do you mean 16th?

The land deal money went in the direction of the council. It's the only reason they came in to bail us out. The stadium move was a good idea but relegation, followed by the collapse of the Championship TV deal compounded the problem and we had sold Highfield Road and had no where to go. The...

and drawing the rest

Not much of an achievement. The sooner he overtakes Thorns home record of 8 wins for last season the better. May take a while yet, one and counting.
