    Saturday, 3pm, Jimmy's Statue

    So hope they lose today. They miss out on European CC qualification and it would surely make it more difficult to deny themselves income from CCFC.

    Saturday, 3pm, Jimmy's Statue

    Taken a quick look on BT sport, never 16K in there today.

    Back your football club

    The circumstances are such that I have no option but to back my football club. At Northampton the option to return to the Ricoh was there the whole time. That option isn't there this time. I'm in for the renewal of 4 STs.

    The Next Statement

    The stadium was mostly funded when the council bridged the funding gap. And for that we were crippled with an insane rental deal. In the first few years, we paid more in rent for use of facilities 25 days a year than Wasps paid up front for the entire facility on a 250 year lease. Wouldn't be...

    Yeah, maybe you're right. I despair.

    If there's one small positive that might come out of this, it's that the eyes of some people will be opened to the fact that Wasps are a bunch of parasitic shysters.

    The Next Statement

    This is uncharted territory I guess so I'm not surprised we haven't heard from the club. The position of Wasps/CCC has always been along the lines of 'do this and we'll talk'. What can the club do at this point? They cannot possibly provide some sort of indemnity to Wasps that protects them...

    Cry babies

    Arriving in the pub at Donny yesterday there was a sizable group of lads from Sunderland. They were there for the races. No issues at all, spoke to a few, had a bit of banter and they were shaking hands with city fans as they left. It makes all the hand-wringing and hysterics on RTG all the...

    Average gate for 2018/2019?

    I think we got 2-3 seasons from the Ricoh effect before gates started to fall away notably. It's interesting to see the significant variation in our gates over the years. Even if you discount Northampton, that last few seasons represent probably the worst period in our history as far as...

    Your Bad Days At A Match

    I thought that was the same night . The Lynx Africa got me thinking about that pre-season game at Blues. Bunch of animals in the corner of the pub about to eat us alive, we down our pint in seconds ready to make a sharp exit and G just takes a sip and sticks another quid in the bandit. Not sure...

    I am of course assuming, if this is a serious proposal (big if), that there has been some prior discussion. I cannot see how CCFC could unilaterally declare that this is where they are going to play. In theory, I think a joint venture has a lot going for it (for both parties), not least in...

    He swears to this day it was 'Ammonia'. 100% a can of Lynx.

    Surely it has to be a ground share at the Butts? What comes after that is anybody's guess, but I cannot understand people who would prefer us playing outside of the city in front of 3K (with all the grief amongst supporters that would cause) ahead of potentially playing in Coventry at the Butts...

    Your Bad Days At A Match

    Missed a lot of the early to mid-80s stuff. I can vaguely remember it as a young kid and was at that Leicester game. Looking back, I'm amazed my old man took me up at all, some crazy shit. Two worst experiences were at Maine Road. I remember a league cup game in the late 80s. I was only...

    Butts

    CRC originally had approval for up to a 12,000 capacity. That may have lapsed (not sure), but that was based on there being no changes to local infrastructure. This would have to go through planning (even temporary stands), but there would have to be a very good reason for planners to reject a...

    City on Quest

    Putting the club up for sale is a completely different thing to accepting a bid that doesn't meet their valuation. The club is up for sale, all clubs are up for sale at all times if the right bid comes in. We're as far away from the club being sold as we've ever been. The prospect of a...
