    Ricoh Arena train station update

    Incidentally Dad, have you ever been to a railway station which is over congested at the end of a sports event, even when there ARE sufficient trains to move people away? If there are no trains (the fault for which lies fairly and squarely at the door of the lack of investment in the railways by...

    Ricoh Arena train station update

    Don't talk nonsense! Do you think the EU would have given the money if CCC and others had not applied for it, and JUSTIFIED it??? Easy answer, they wouldn't!

    Ricoh Arena train station update

    That's certainly what was being reported back in the Autumn, Dave. No plans to bring back Jimmy Hill's Sky Blue Specials! Maybe the Council weren't banking on us surviving ...!

    No More Walsores

    I see that, especially when it relates to South Africa during apartheid, but why do people now call themselves "(wo)men of colour"?

    Singers corner

    That's the problem with attracting bigger crowds: the occasionals/newbies don't know where to go, or know the words to the songs, or even how to behave. That is bound to have an impact. The segregation thing will be down to what happens on the concourse: they can't use the staircases that are on...

    Not far off stopping in CV6 by the look of it. And very few showers later

    Weather forecast...

    Very black over Canley. Looks from the satellite imagery like there's a couple of hours of rain, then maybe showery.

    David Bowie and the West End

    Maybe I'm just being a grumpy uncaring old bastard, but I just tire of the people who have nothing helpful to add adding it anyway! Agree with the classical thing. Saw the Nutcracker ballet in Brum just before Christmas, and the beauty of the music and the dancing moved me to tears.

    David Bowie and the West End

    Agree with all that, Otis. What I *don't* get is why people feel the need to lose all self-control and collapse into a blubbering heap of snot when someone they never met dies. These public outpourings of grief never happened until Princess Di carked it, and have only got worse since the advent...

    John Fleck

    If Jonjo Shelvey is worth £12 million, as is being widely reported as the sum for him to move from Swansea to Newcastle, SURELY Fleck is worth more than the £500K some of you are suggesting, even if he is unproven at any higher level.

    Ticket farce

    This will be the same Arena Park that people complain about not being close enough to the city centre, I presume? The Butts is rather closer, but having a ticket outlet in Cathedral Lanes or somewhere truly central would be the best place for maximizing footfall.

    Peter Crouch On Loan At The City

    The Twitter chumps at Bristol City are getting excited that SkyBet have Crouch 2nd favourite to do to them! Silly season is right!

    Ticket farce

    Steve, I know it's too late you having taken time off to go up there, but you can pick up pre-paid (collection only) tickets from the window at the Ricoh from 6.30 on matchday.

    Ticket farce

    Your point being ...? Someone earlier in the thread was asking what the arrangements were for sales tomorrow! #justsayin

    Attendance v Walsall

    FYI, from the offal Twitter account: All in person sales tomorrow will be from the Ricoh Arena - either at the Matchday Ticket Office or from 6:30pm at Cash Turnstiles

    Attendance v Walsall

    I suspect the 10.5K includes ST holders. They always assume that every ST holder will be there for every game. Attendance SHOULD be a count of the bums on seats, but never is. Easy to count how many times the turnstile goes round. Just laziness!
