Typically enough the kids didn't come in the end! I still went though, enjoyed it too!

Have to be happy with that result. We were nothing like as fluid as we were against Charlton, but still worth the win, just, imho. The only thing I don't quite get is swapping the left backs over with twenty or so to go, again. To me that's a waste of a substitution if it's simply like for...

That was exactly my opinion on it fwiw, Otis. My thoughts were that he looks horribly low on confidence compared to how he was when he first came on the scene. Aren't these highs and lows to be expected from young players though? He's got some good skills and he doesn't hide even when it's...

Done, sorted, tickets bought. Many thanks for all of the advice gents, very much appreciated. :)

OK then, I've never taken the kids to a game at the Ricoh before, so apologies for the daft questions. I'm after a bit of help, where's the best place to sit given the youngest (at five) might find it a bit daunting? Also, what's the best way to buy tickets for kids these days - I normally...

Who are the trust claiming to speak for these days? Despite signing up way back when, I can't remember the last time I was contacted by them. As long as they clearly state who they're actually putting out statements on behalf of (i.e. "Four members of the trust board met last night and decided...

First time I've been for a while, but have to say I was impressed today, not just with team, but with the fans too. Maybe it's because we're down to the hard core, but I liked the fact that they didn't get after the players even when we were struggling in patches. I thought we did enough for...

I'll add my best wishes here too. Merry Christmas to everyone, especially to those that I may have offended at some point. We're all fans after all, and we all want a successful team to follow. Here's hoping Santa Claus can get us the points on Boxing Day - we could use a big lad up front who...

There's always a chance mate. There's a lot of points in this Cov team, but they've got to get on the front foot and cut out the silly errors. Nottingham will be favourites, but don't rule out a Cov win. If you can make it I'm sure you'll have a good time regardless, I hear they'll be...

Seeing goals from Big Cyrille popping up on Twitter from time to time always cheers me up. Most recently the winning header in the 4-3 against Spurs, and that cracking shot in the FA Cup QF against Wednesday... Still can't believe he's gone, what a man!

You're mistaking correlation for causation here. The reason Cov RFC are doing well is that they've invested shrewdly in the team, got a very smart man at the helm in Rowland Winter, and got themselves promoted. So, nothing at all to do with Wasps, who if anything will be having a negative...

Fair enough, but to me it's a pretty fine line between expectance and acceptance. I think far too many people are willing to accept Council chicanery here because of who it's affected (i.e. SISU). If I deliberately and clearly misled a customer in this way, then I'd expect to be disciplined if...

Ah, that probably explains why my Brexit Bondage Brigade isn't growing as quickly as I'd hoped...

I can only think we're going beyond racism here, and into the sphere of serious mental illness or impairment. It's some kind of bizarre attention seeking behaviour, imho. Regardless, I'm all for getting them into a place where they can't harm themselves or anyone else, and especially the kid.

It's not naive to expect elected officials and their officers to tell the truth. Indeed that's absolutely the minimum standard that should be accepted for anyone in public office. Again, if this was about anything but beating SISU there would be an awful lot more outrage, imho. The Council...

Politely, I don't see it that way. I don't see anyone going to watch CRFC as a protest against Wasps. The effect of them moving here is much more likely to have diluted support than increased it, especially when they choose to play on the same days as Cov. For a team that's just been...

The key phrase that you're missing here is 'in spite of'. I was at the club a few days after the deal went through and CRFC were patently not happy. Similarly it was stated that Wasps would play on Sundays to avoid clashing with CRFC fixtures. More bullshit, it turns out.... CRFC certainly...

What the Council and Wasps were thinking, quite clearly, is that they would say any old bullshit to get the deal through. There was no mention of it being time limited, it was an absolutely unambiguous statement - the Wasps deal would not impact either CCFC or CRFC negatively. That was what...

I have absolutely no idea where this misplaced optimism comes from, but I really fancy us for this. I don't think there's much between the teams and if we can get behind the lads from the start I think we can rattle them. Nothing scientific then, just a belief that we're still a good side with...
