Yes it can.

Simply not true. They did not 'buy the land' and they didn't 'fund the build' either. The council's contribution (from its own coffers) was minimal, but they did help bridge the funding shortfall by securing a loan from the bank which was paid by ACL (up until recently at least). They did...

It is simple, any move would have to be temporary (and it would). The club could not survive outside the city for more than a season or two, and on that basis I would follow them during that temporary exile. Brighton fans followed their team to Gillingham, Bristol Rovers fans watched their...

That doesn't really make any sense. We need a ground that holds 5K because rent would be smaller? Perhaps marginally, but the potential to make money from gate receipts would be vastly reduced. We could only give away teams 500 tickets - imagine playing Wolves and only giving them a few...

Will get one regardless of where we play.

Hysterical nonsense. The British people suffered more in the 1970s than they did in the 1980s when living standards were raised considerably (both in relative and real terms). You talk as if you knew her personally? She wasn't emotionless; hardly, she was a very emotive person. She didn't...

When Harold Wilson was dieing, MT when to visit him in hospital and spent some time with him. A formidable political foe he might have been, but she respected him. Compare that to her political opponents cracking open bottles of champagne because an old lady has passed away. Some people have...

Sorry, don't recognise that description. I know my neighbours and speak to them regularly. I guess you just have to make the effort. It typifies the ridiculous sense of entitlement many in this country have that they blame the Government for the fact they cannot be bothered to speak to...

Indeed, the NUM brought down the Heath Government. No single trade-union should have that much power. MT was determined that was not going to happen again, and what unfolded was was unpleasant and not a great chapter in British history. Let's not forget though, more coal mines closed under...

The great irony is that the BNP are actually statist in their outlook - they are a far-left party in many respects (they are pro-trade union, anti free-market, advocate the re-nationalisation of industry and would seek to suppress the individual freedoms many on the right hold dear). It's no...

Well, I believe in liberty. I believe in freedom of the individual, and that individuals and families should take more responsibility for themselves and help those around them, rather than rely on an over-bearing state to provide everything. So in that sense, I agree with her; but equally that...

I've long been of the opinion that Mutton is an idiot. An embarrassment really, this is a man that wears trade union pin-badges when meeting big-business. Is it any wonder nobody wants to invest in Coventry when this is the first person they are presented with? And yet, people keep voting for...

She did say "there is no such thing as society", but this is the full quote: "There is no such thing as society. There is living tapestry of men and women and people and the beauty of that tapestry and the quality of our lives will depend upon how much each of us is prepared to take...

'The Coventry City Football Club Limited' was incorporated in 1907 and is now known as CCFC (Holdings) Ltd following a change of name in 96, CCFC Ltd was incorporated in the mid-90s. In other words, 'Holdings' is the original company, and yes, the shares that were handed over were in THIS...

Players probably less deserving of their lap of honour this season than ever before. This season has been an epic failure. Points deduction aside, that we have managed to finish outside the top 6 this season in this awful league is a travesty. Without the deduction we are currently level on...

Don't know, but we have to assume SISU (Holdings) are still paying the players wages - there is no way revenues from the last 2 home games would have been sufficient to cover the wage bill and other costs of running the club.

Up to 4500 available. Pay on the gate and save all the hassle.

I don't think people are whining so much as just saying that the restrictions are probably a little on the strict side, and it wouldn't do much harm to relax them at least a little. It isn't a major hardship though I agree, but there is no issue with revisiting these things once in a while. We...

Exactly. It is one thing to criticise the collective abuse that McSheffrey got the other week, that was out of order and ugly. But there was none of that yesterday. What people are moaning about is the random musings of people dotted around the ground. A case of the 'guy a few rows behind...

It shouldn't be that difficult though, you simply add the number of ST holders to those that bought tickets in advance and paid on the day, and you have your attendance figure, so in that sense I suppose it was correct. Like some have said though, a lot of ST holders didn't turn up yesterday...
