    Where Will You Drink On Matchday Next Season?

    It will be a two carriage service now, every 15 minutes instead of 1 carriage per hour as it is currently. Don't know whether the frequency/number of carriages will increase further on matchdays.

    I need to write to Steve Waggott over this......

    OP might have overreacted a bit, but the shop staff are never going to win any customer service awards. I was in the shop of Saturday and had a pleasant chat with the woman serving, just after she had spent 5 minutes listening to some dullard moan about Tim Fisher. They are on the front line...

    New kit announced in the coming days

    From somebody who works at the club. No reason not to believe them so thought i'd mention it. But if it isn't I'm not arsed. Nike, Puma, Adidas - all handstiched by a child labourer in Bangladesh. Same shit different logo.

    Investment rumour.

    Some of those points are valid, not sure about the issue of residents objecting is massively relevant though. The site is east of the airport accessed direct of the A45 (where the Holiday Inn is), and I imagine there would be no through route to Baginton at all, and I'm not sure how residents...

    Investment rumour.

    It will be sorted. The issues there are primarily down the to fact that all traffic passing through Tollbar has to use the roundabout. The bulk of that traffic (A45-A46) will now go through the underpass meaning that traffic on the island itself will be much lighter. ...and anyway, I think...

    Investment rumour.

    The stadium would fall under Rugby Borough - on greenbelt east of the current BP between it and the A45 (behind Holiday Inn).

    Investment rumour.

    I don't usually get involved in all this hearsay, but I have had two conversations now with people closely connected with the club, albeit in completely different ways, that suggest something is going on. They both basically said SISU are working with a backer - its not a take over, more of an...

    Promotion/playoffs odds?

    If the rumours I've heard in the last few days are true I'd be lumping on at those odds.

    CCFC Shop

    Sadly not! I've been about, just avoided this place. I had come to the conclusion that it was full of lunatics. Still, it's good to know there are still a few flying the flag for sanity!

    CCFC Shop

    Barnsley metro area more like 230K. But yes, attendances need to be better. They were a little artificial last season. Starting the season in Northampton meant a lost summer of ST sales and we never recovered especially when the season went pear-shaped. Expect crowds will improve notably...

    Mowbray confirmed via club twitter

    It's a measure of how low our expectations have become that we greet the appointment of a manger operating well below his level with predictions of a top half finish (in the 3rd division). We've just witnessed an awful awful season. We were terrible, and yet just 5 more wins over 46 games and...

    You're basically moaning about the irrationality of football fans. Really? Have you ever been to the football? Have you ever stood there while thousands of people around you are going bat-shit crazy - the kind of crazy you never see outside of a football ground. Nothing else makes you behave...

    Jimmy hill statue

    I'm pretty sure he wasn't talking specifically about the flag incident and was making a general point about the symbolism of today and how it underlines just how far the club has fallen and how bleak it's future is - and for many people in Coventry, the football club means a great deal to them...

    Not necessarily, there are lots of revenue opportunities that might present themselves even without the sort of bells and whistles the Ricoh has. There would be conference facilities, banqueting suites, function rooms for weddings, parties and that sort of thing. Presumably there would be a...

    No, any move would have to be within the city (or at worst an edge of town site) for it to be viable. The talk of Bermuda Park is worrying, but I keep hearing about a site next to Coventry Airport so who knows.

    Jimmy hill statue

    The future of CCFC has everything to do with Wasps - and our status has changed immeasurably. Previously we were tenants with the option of buy the stadium that was built for us (or at least a stake in it), now we are tenants with no prospect of ever owning it. We are to Wasps what they were...

    Who is responsible for the maintence of the Ricoh Arena?

    Funnily enough was talking about this yesterday. It's not just that repairs are needed, the external areas have never been so unkempt and scruffy - it never gets cleaned up. There is a beer can at the bottom of the steps that lead up to the Jag Hall (by the roundabout) that no word of a lie...

    Jimmy hill statue

    Absolutely staggering that some people seem to be reveling in this. To outsiders it must look like the City of Coventry has given up on Coventry City Football Club. Our future has never been this bleak and some people are having fun with it. I won't lose any sleep over the fact someone put a...

    You think we're not all angry with SISU? Seriously? The difference is, we don't give this nonsense credibility by going up the there and waving a shitty yellow and black flag in support of a sporting franchise we have absolutely no connection with whatsoever (that's emotionally, historically...
