    Has anyone signed up to races (10k, half and/or full marathon) taking place over the next few months?

    Bucket List

    Les Misérables is a fantastic show to see live, I’ve lost count of the number of times I have. The London show is especially impressive. I’ve also done a sky dive over Lake Taupo in New Zealand and was one of the scariest and best experiences of my life. I’d definitely recommend. I have dived...

    Me too. Bloody Biamou!

    Another Rumour

    Maybe it’s heart over head, but I’ve had the same feeling as others all week; there’s definitely more going on behind the scenes. Logically it doesn’t make sense for Wasps to kick us out. Their one reported grievance with us remains, whether we are at the Ricoh or not. They risk frustrating...

    Saturday, 3pm, Jimmy's Statue

    I’ll be there today, albeit potentially with my pregnant partner. She thinks I’ve just randomly suggested an impromptu shopping trip to the Ricoh......

    The Next Statement

    Just Fuck Off.

    The Ricoh..

    The lack of statements offers a glimmer of hope this is all a red herring and things are carrying on as normal. I really hope that is the case for obvious reasons, buts there’s also the supplementary benefit of making all the one sided SISU haters look stupid. And the CCC plan will have failed.

    Transfer Rumour Charlie Adam- anything in this?

    Yes I agree with an old head helping his development, but I’d hope Kelly can fill that role, even if he isn’t anywhere near as experienced as Adam.

    Thank You

    Great story for so many reasons. My Dad bought me a ST when I was 7 and I’ve had one ever since (bar Northampton). While I’ve not always been able to make every game, it’s absolutely one of the key reasons my Dad and I are so close. Supporting CCFC certainly creates a unique and formidable bond.

    Goalkeeper

    Kieran Westwood, one of the best keepers we’ve had in recent seasons, came from a lower league club and was relatively unknown when we signed him. I’d much rather us sign a player on the up who can grow and develop with us, than a name on the way down, especially if it’s one who could take a...

    Transfer Rumour Charlie Adam- anything in this?

    Seems a good singing on paper but not reality. He has a great range of passing and can fill the massive gap we have in the set piece department, but I’d worry about his levels of fitness and the short termism of his signing too. Plus, I believe Westbrooke has the same attributes, and while he...

    I’m potentially in the minority but I always liked Cranie.

    Just passing on some intel :)

    I appreciate this is the second rumour I’ve commented on in two days, but I’ve heard the same as the OP. Unfortunately I have no names though.

    48 hours away from expulsion / New Ricoh Talks!

    Yep, as I say I can’t see how it works or why, but these things have to be shared on an internet forum! It’s interesting nobody else seems to have heard anything similar.

    Kyle Mcfadzean

    If he’s an experienced ball playing defender then he certainly fits ours philosophy and MR’s comments re signing experience. I always thought he was an old fashioned ‘clear it’ CB, but evidently not. However, have I missed something re Davies? Has he definitely gone/going?

    48 hours away from expulsion / New Ricoh Talks!

    Thanks! Yes, I initially thought the same but after a little more digging I know at least two of the sources are different, one of who works for the club. Again, not intending to fan the flames of internet rumours, only sharing what I’ve heard. And for the record I don’t see how it could work...

    48 hours away from expulsion / New Ricoh Talks!

    Don’t shoot the messenger, I have no evidence or real basis for this, but I’ve heard from 3/4 different sources that SISU are negotiating for 49% of the Ricoh, which was initially looking positive but potentially not anymore. I don’t know how that works in reality or any details, but as I’ve...

    Westbrooke will be class.....

    Completely agree, he doesn’t look as though he’ll run at players as Bayliss does, but is more of a ball player. I like what I’ve seen so far, looks composed, drops into good positions and technically very good too. He’s had a strange season really, I know he’s one for the future, but he’s...

    As brilliant as that would be, I can guarantee that’s a no go.

    Next Seasons Confirmed Squad/Transfer Rumours

    I have to agree, I would love him to come back an asset, but even pre injury there was no guarantee he would be one. He struggled first time round at L1 level, so there’s a lot of hype for a player based on one good season in L2. He had attributes to make it, namely pace and direct running...
