What do you mean where has the money gone? To pay for the running of the club and to subsidise losses. I really do not understand how some people struggle to accept that the club loses money and that SISU have to fund the difference. We're hardly the only football club where expenditure...

Struggle to drag yourself up there? As a ST holder I find that amazing. There is more riding on this game than pretty much every game that has gone before it this season. With a good away following for once it also promises to be a decent atmosphere. Really looking forward to it, and I...

They have sold 2500, and I am sure they'll be a few more on the day so it will be close to that. Easily their biggest following of the season and a bit of a day out for them. Make it all the more sweet when we turn them over.

I'm usually guilty of making excuses for the stay away fans, but not sure I can bring myself to do that tomorrow. A sunny afternoon, and we're getting toward the business end of the season in contention for promotion (if only just) for the first time in years. That alone should guarantee a...

Just going by a post I read on another forum. Haven't bothered to check like. Big day out for them, expect jester hats and balloons.

...and after last night's result, we could have a bumper gate (relatively speaking) at the weekend. Ideal opportunity for us to put an end to our shocking home form in front of a decent turnout. A win and we are right back in it.

Why do those opposed to Black seem to think the rest of us look back on his time with rose tinted specs? I don't, I remember the crushing disappointment of that defeat at Wigan very well (but I also remember Wigan were a good side and that conditions that day were awful and that it was a total...

I think you're right, but 5-6 points with 10 games left is still doable. Anything less than 6 points for me and it's all over though.

Really hope we keep the season alive by winning tomorrow, especially with Swindon bringing up to 3000 on Saturday. Could be a good occasion that.

Why? Because there is no point in continuing to bleat on about past mistakes. We have a situation in the here and now that needs to be resolved, and the Higgs Trust have taken a position that makes no sense either commercially or in terms of benefiting the local community which is their raison...

We could perhaps focus on the Tesco land deal then, brokered by the football club generating millions that went into building a stadium that they then had no stake in. The Council did very well out of that and the fact they never gave the club some concession for the fact they had contributed...

I like to think we form the silent majority, but perhaps we should be a bit more vocal because I genuinely think the Council believe they have widespread public support for their position. I do not believe that is the case, and I think many people understand that the football club is part of...

I fear you are wasting your breath. Most people just don't want to hear that or are simply too stupid to understand the realities. I admire your persistence though, and I'm not sure I have the energy to continue to argue with the SISU-OUT monkeys. The actions of ACL/CCC in this affair have...

Crowds will not fall next season. They are already the lowest for 30 seasons this year, and have well and truly bottomed out. We have a achieved an average of 11K this season with only 6.5K ST holders, and I expect ST numbers to increase next season - certainly those I know who didn't renew...

Ashdown - matchday gate receipts this season have rarely been more than £35,000. We play on average 2 home games a month. Paying £34,000 a month in rent for a league 1 club that only has 2-3k paying customers for a league game on top of ST holders is not sustainable. The club simply cannot...

Absolute rubbish.

It is stupid because ACL cannot survive without the football club. They make money from matchday revenues - why would they deny themselves that by shutting the doors? It's like you having a house that has only one viable tenant (just ONE, unless I've missed the other league club in Coventry)...

If you're not going to read the thread properly, then at least get your wrong answer right - it was 8000 to Arsenal :p

You do not have an argument that stands up to any sort of scrutiny I'm afraid. What is your point? Your argument about this city's supposed propensity to 'defeatism' is its apparent lack of righteous indignation about the untimely departure of Mark Robins? Is that it? All this against a...

What sums Coventry up to a tee is how it coped during times of real strife - the Blitz for example, the very definition of refusing to be defeated. Some people just love to have a go at this city. I, however, believe it is a great city and the people stoic and resilient, but that's because I...
