    It is unrealistic but... Own the Ricoh (at least half of it at least) or Build a new stadium at Warwick Uni?

    I think you're underestimating the travel issues connected with a potential stadium near Warwick Uni. Most of the Warwick Uni students will live on campus or near enough and won't require transport, so you're not really comparing like with like. As of now I also think the Ricoh has better...

    Darren Moore

    He seems like a decent enough appointment to me. I think he's done a decent job at Doncaster, and even if they do go down I would fancy him to bring them straight back up next season.

    U23 Vs Wednesday

    It would be a shame if Eccles doesn't get a chance with us, but if we end up signing James and Sheaf its difficult to see where he fits in. He's certainly providing MR with some food for thought though.

    Ricoh Return

    Not sure we have ever sold that many season tickets. I'm guessing that 67/68, 87/88 and our first season in the Ricoh would be our biggest season ticket selling seasons, but we have never been a club that shifts large numbers of season tickets. Clubs traditionally of similar size even if they...

    Steve Hunt

    I'm presuming you are connected to him and/ or the book. I don't recall him ever showing up at any of our clubs 'legend' days events, which is a shame, as any supporter that saw him play would rate him amongst the best we had play for us, and well worthy of that 'legend' status. I'm not sure if...

    Tonights games 23rd Feb and predictions

    Got a horrible feeling Blues are going to get a result (hopefully only a draw if they do). Norwich's recent form and their comfortable lead at the top could make them a little complacent. Otherwise wins for Derby, Luton and Rotherham, with Wycombe grinding out a draw against Reading.

    Steve Hunt

    He actually stayed and played under Gould for a short while, although I don't think he was staying out of choice by that time. In a typical Gould like pre season gimmick he arranged a game against a group of supporters and some Sunday League clogger nobbled Hunt resulting in him missing the...

    Steve Hunt

    He left us in 1984!! He was a top player and I suspect that looking back he might regret staying with us beyond the 1980/81 season. He didn't get a chance with England until he left us, but had been at his best a few seasons before that, and was deserving of a chance long before he got it.

    Max

    Seems a bit unfair to earn your team a penalty and for it not to count as an assist (if scored).

    Gustavo Hamer

    Much depends how desperate we are for a sale. Our history tells us that we usually look to cash in one of our players every season, and if so Hamer and O'Hare are the most saleable. Playing wise it would make sense for both to stay another season, but outside forces could make that difficult to...

    What was your favourite ever season watching city in the league

    77-78 for me. We scored 75 league goals in the top division and were so entertaining to watch, with a team brimming with true City 'legends'. I would give an honourable mention to last season though. By the time the season was curtailed I was watching games expecting us to win, and I just...

    Barnsley esc performance

    What helped us adopt the high press so effectively was having a few more injured players back, which strengthened our bench so that making our full use of subs didn't weaken the team on the pitch as much as it did a few weeks back.

    Crowds next season

    This question is difficult to call either way, while there could also be other factors that come into play, like whether the authorities only allow crowds back with reduced capacities, and if so what percentage that reduction might be set at. On a side issue I think we have been hit more by the...

    Our remaining games

    You or anyone else will do well to predict even 50% of our results correctly, but I suspect that you might not be far off with your final points total.

    Michael Doyle

    What would be the best City XI he played with?

    Leon McKenzie-Stephen Hughes.

    Hughes was very good in his first season with us, but people forget that because his subsequent time with us was a bit of a disappointment.

    Tyler Walker

    We have to play Walker with a strike partner though if we want to continue to get the best out of him.

    Bottom 3 contenders (excluding Wycombe)

    While its a bit of fun looking at this with so many games to play its impossible to say and fairly pointless trying to work out. There are too many imponderables that you can't factor in: injuries, suspensions, luck both for & against, the strength of the opposition will change throughout this...

    Defence for next game.

    Interesting that when Jordan Willis got a bad injury recently a number of posters on here who seemed quite happy about his misfortune were saying how much better off our defence was without him. Now this thread is full of posters bemoaning our lack of pace, even seeing Pask as a possible...
