My opinion is that football clubs that carry the name of their county as well as the town or city they represent seem to have a stronger bond with the surrounding communities. Notts, Derby, Leicester for e.g. - I work around Leicestershire a lot and people from Loughborough, Ashby and Coalville...

I can’t see many Sunderland fans choosing to go to a Newcastle on matchday, but thanks for social and economic lecture about population and fanbase sizes, Riyadh.

With the exception of Sheffield, places like Sunderland, Ipswich and Portsmouth are smaller than Coventry in population but are possibly places with a stronger football heritage and definitely in the case of Sunderland and Ipswich, far larger geographical reach. The other consideration is...

What a contrived scenario, I think most of those players departed the club before the flags hit the recycle bin.

Against a local rival who would’ve provided decent away support. I doubt there were more than 4-5000 paying home spectators in that attendance.

Hilarious post by Steve from Cov on there - “Why they would protest about the College group selling off a facility that is haemorraging money is beyond me”. He obviously didn’t mind when it was CCC selling off the Ricoh. The irony.

The similarity is that CCFC and Wasps have an identical amount of paying spectators.

Jordan’s brother used to play American football in Bristol before moving onto the continent. He will have had plenty of feedback about life down there etc.

I would say he’s definitely a Sunderland fan. His name is Gary Hutchinson and he’s recorded on Linkedin as a Sunderland fan. The op was correct.

Correct, unless other people think that being born at Walsgrave Hospital and growing up on the Ansty Road at Wyken and in Exhall qualify as Birmingham. Willis’s Dad is originally from Bell Green. All good Cov people.

As much as it’s a nice idea, I doubt very much JLR will want to be associated with a team that still has a fair amount of controversy attached by virtue of their owners. There is also the issue of them effectively funding a club who are in active conflict with someone they already sponsor. I’d...

Absolutely scandalous. Around 4000 tickets left in the sky blue section, not even close to a sellout overall and people are still waiting for tickets. Heads should roll over this.

The Shrewsbury fan looks like he’s downed some undercooked chicken and is battling a nasty dose of the canteen rapids.

The problem with having safe standing at the front of an existing stadium is they would have to reprofile the risers at the back of the stand otherwise the people sitting at the back wouldn’t be able to see past the people standing in front of them. The reason Celtic have created a corner...

Piece of cake. Read them as blocks of whatever the row numbers total and add or subtract the stragglers.

Just done some dot counting myself and make it 4786 left. Equals 35214 sold?

34833 sold so far.

Not sure. This is the Wembley ticketing policy - “There are over 70,000 General Admission seats for sporting events and the ticketing policy for these will be determined by the event owner (event owners include The FA, The Football League and The Rugby Football League)”. Read more at Ticketing...
