Fantastic home draw, and hopefully a decent crowd but already I'm thinking how on earth will the club deal with the likelihood of a crowd in excess of 15,000, Who gets priority, where do we buy tickets from if people don't want or can't buy them online . Are we going to queue for 6 hours to one...

Am I missing something or is rugby just a pile of shite ?

Lovely clean lines as Darcy Bussell would say.

Jim Brown's book "Ghosts of a vanished stadium " mentions it. The telegraph reported in 1970 that chairman Derek Robbins announced plans were at an "advanced stage" for the development. We were to become the "Real Madrid of England" ........as has proved to be . :happy:

I though SISU /ARVO did actually own the club? Am I am thousands of others wrong on this ?

between 2k and 3k tops. I'm sure Tim Fisher won't give a toss and will just balance the books.

The plan was to build a stand which held up to 28,000 - 18,000 standing and 10,000 seats. Eventually the ground would hold over 65,000.

I stood on the kop throughout the period after the seating was removed until they knocked it down and built a proper stand. Lets face it , it was crap. :joyful:

If we are down by then, then I hope Fisher gets what he so richly deserves.

It's so obvious I must be wrong. We're lumping the ball up and it's coming straight back. Even someone like Clive Platt , who wasn't the quickest off the mark , would do a job. The players we have up front aren't physically able to cope with a line of 6 ft defenders week in week out.

When you look at our form over the last 12 games, only a monumental turn around will help us to avoid relegation now. Hope for the best, but prepare for Leyton Orient.

...if the club (not SISU) now insist that those supporters on the pitch should be banned then that says a great deal about Fisher. If they persist may I suggest a few more season ticket holders may well drop out. It may also increase outright hostility. Fisher should use common sense here.....

Footballers who wear their socks over their knees. Someone at some point was the first person to do it and worse still some other tosser though it looked good.

Apparently there's a programme on the telly at 7 about the demise of Coventry City according to a caller. Anyone tell me which channel?

So it was. Full strength promotion chasing team. In the same way we hammered Premier League West Ham. I think Jodi Jones' performance has to be put in its proper context.

You are right, but of course this was not league 1 opposition.

Is it a badge ? Looks like it could play at 45rpm. Could be worth a few bob in a few years.

So far Jones hasn't really delivered. Can't read the game. Plays for himself, not the team. Lameires is a lightweight, but his hair's very tidy. Beavon works 100% . Draws defenders to him. Reads the game well. Reminds me of old fashioned players from the 70's, when men were men.

"you have 2 choices".......no you don't, you have a choice.

At least 10 points, at which point Clive Eakin will announce that it's possible that "the sky blues could yet make the play offs...."
