That thread on the Sunderland forum keeps going. Getting pretty hysterical now. A Newcastle fan has now piped up to say we're the worst they've seen at SJP after similar incidents at the cup tie a few years back. Claims there were 'thousands' of us hurling bricks after the home fixture. Even...

Throwing missiles is out of order, no question. Always the victim Sunderland fans it seems, nothing is ever their fault. They have been fanning the flames of this nonsense for years. Making jokes about the death of JH, making threats that led to our memorial garden being boarded up for the home...

I note that Coventry United are making a fuss about a big announcement tomorrow at midday. They wouldn't, would they? *Equally, it could be about a new shirt sponsor for the under 12s, so perhaps I'm just paranoid.

Agree. The idea that you drop 6 levels and then you somehow rise up in a glorious ascent through the leagues is romantic guff. Having a bit more cash than everyone else and being a big fish guarantees nothing more than a weekly fixture on a parks pitch against a team that plays like it's a cup...

He's talking about the self-deprecation you often encounter with people from Coventry. A modesty. I like that. I think it's a great place. Lived away a couple of times but have come back and don't regret it. It's my home, and I'm not even going down the 'warts and all' route, because those...

TICKETS: Pay on the gate at Barnsley on Saturday

This is key I think. If, before the start of next season, a site is identified and we see plans progressed (ideally in the form of a planning application), I think many people will go with it for a season to see how things progress, even if just the odd game. In the absence of that, it would be...

I know it's probably been mentioned numerous times in this thread already, but ACL negotiating a sale to Wasps more than a YEAR before CCFC went to Northampton? Wow. That's a fucking game-changer right there.

To answer these points. Firstly, I obviously didn't name the people and I benefit from a degree anonymity on here which is the nature of these forums rightly or wrongly. Secondly, the impression I got was that, within the club itself, this is not exactly a secret hence similar things are being...

Thing is Nick, I am as confused as anyone. If this had been a guy down the pub who knows somebody who knows somebody, I'd have said nothing. But these people are very well placed and are people I know very well. I argued the toss, citing all the stuff in the media, making the sames points...

Do people actually believe the club is only worth £100K a year to Wasps? There are financial contributions way beyond that. That aside though, the simple fact is that more people will have attended the Ricoh to watch CCFC this season than Wasps. This is owing to the fact that the football...

Nobody is that arsed, it's just amusing and all a bit odd. Why would we be talking about Notts County in 25 years? We won't be. That was just tongue-in-cheek banter that will fade into memory very quickly and any grievance is theirs anyway. When you have a middle-aged knuckle-dragger...

We've been allocated the East Stand for this game which is behind the goal.

The thing is, I've been told by two people very close to all this that a deal for up to 5 years is already done. Everything we are seeing now is about saving face and about all sides not wanting to be seen to have backed down. Just get on and announce it so that all the hand-wringing can stop.

They have been for about 3 seasons now. Only one an hour though.

We need to work on our game management, but aside from that it was pretty dominant. Four goals, 2 sitters missed and a series of half chances. Bradford's goals came out of nothing, and for a team playing at home throwing everything at us to get back into the game they didn't create much. Can't...

Had a great time. Some of the drinks we got were free, bought a few more, no big deal. So 44 quid for transport there and back, a 3 hour boat trip on the Thames and 3 free beers ain't bad value. Don't go on the FB page very often and reading some of the abuse being dished out I realise why.

Don't really get the angst over the attendance next week. I'd love there to be a big turn out, don't understand why peolpe wouldn't go, but then I think that every week. It won't be that great, because the truth is it isn't a particularly big game. They'll be fewer city fans than there were...

It hasn't had that much effect. 5000 takes them all the way up to the small barrier in block 12, the same as was given to Chelsea in the fall cup (5200), so a couple of hundred lost I'd say. That's about as much as we can give now. In the early Ricoh days away fans could also have block 13 and...
