    CET: Nene park a potential new "home"

    Wink face acknowledged, but that's another thing! I used to see a girl from Rushden. No direct train... Either a train to Northampton or Bedford, then bus/train to Rushden. Horrid little place too! That was over 10 years ago, mind. Got to be posturing. Plus, I'm sure after Wimbledon...

    All this rent debate, have we forgotten where it all began?

    THIS is an interesting one... [15 DEC 00] CWN COMMENT Hold Your Breath For The New Stadium Coventry City’s eventual openness about the new arena is welcome, but is the city going to end up with a big white elephant? The project directors know that there are huge risks with grandiose schemes...

    Time to knuckle down, but can we do it?

    We have failed to score only on 2 occassions this year... I can't see a 0-0 at Donnie!!

    A Reminder to ACL...

    The NEC has ha capacity of 16k. The Exhibition Hall is perfect for gigs, comedians, conventions. It would mean that The Ricoh would have to be more proactive in how they go about getting their business, but surely there are enough live entertainers who aren't quite big enough to sell out the NEC...

    A Reminder to ACL...

    I don't think Rich was actually suggesting that the Tigers would move in... It was a hypothetical example, not a solution.

    What Do Cov Fans Really Want For Christmas?

    It's been a long time since our fans have just wanted things to stay the same on the pitch!! Reasons to be cheerful!

    Hypocrisy

    More like a sore loss of 3 points for them. The opinion of a team we've just battered who also have extortionate rent and are a smaller club is bound to reflect that of the majority.

    Thank you Mark Robins

    A player doesn't get to become the leagues top scorer on his own.

    Hypocrisy

    Too true. I'm all up for holding a balanced view of things, that was the point of my post. I'm just not sure why the OP is calling people hypocrites. "ruthlessly" probably was the wrong word but the cost cutting strategy was bordering on neglegent in itself. Controling the cost may have been...

    Thank you Mark Robins

    I can't believe that after the second win where we've scored 5 goals, people are still attributing our good form to one player, outstanding as he's been.

    David Mc on CWR

    If they are in talks as we are lead to believe, then surely they don't want him. If they don't want him now, after the form he's shown, they'll never want him.

    Hypocrisy

    How on earth is that the reputation we're building? Where's the evidence in that? Other than the aspirations of the SBT, our situation and Pompeys are completely different!!

    Hypocrisy

    I'm missing your point, mate... Are you just making an observation or are you condemming those who objectively scorn the bad and celebrate the good? I get that your handball analogy is hypocritic, but the fact that when there was a different board making decisions to the detriment of the...

    Poor old Stephen Wright. Another who was given the armband purely because he was a senior member of the squad. 29 (I think) year old running around like a 40 year old on 40 a day!!
