    Sorry to raise this again / Dale Evans

    Not unless he was born in the US. Saying that, I'm sure he could get an email knocked up from that other stable genius, confirming that he was born in the White House or something...

    Sorry to raise this again / Dale Evans

    He's going to risk getting himself into a boat load of trouble if he's started faking letters from solicitors. To be honest, and with no disrespect intended to Ms Tinney, her profile suggests that she's only relatively recently qualified. I would have thought that a takeover of this magnitude...

    Up or down

    Personally, I think accusing people of being 'SISU Lovers' because they don't agree with your opinion is kind of abusive, or at the least, moderately offensive. If you don't like taking it then don't dish it out, is my advice. You asked a question and when you didn't get the answer you...

    Up or down

    Anyone who uses the phrase 'SISU lover' with regard to any other CCFC fan, has already lost the argument. It's embarrassing that people still have to resort to this when they're on the defensive.

    Blade in peace

    This, but with punctuation. :) (Sorry ISB, couldn't resist!) Anyway, totally agree, Fleck has always been a class player, and I can't get too upset about away fans trying to wind us up when I hear the songs we sing at their grounds...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Hmm, I love it when people tie themselves in knots trying to justify something that they know would outrage them if it happened to a club that they cared about. In case you're confused, I wouldn't go to MK Dons regardless of (and prior to) Wasps being here, and I wouldn't go to Wasps or take a...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    At least you accept it's a franchise, which is a start... If they'd gone to, say, Hull instead of here I'd still dislike them for it because I hate the idea of franchising teams away from their fan base. Obviously them being here and screwing CCFC over with the help of the council just adds a...

    Death List 2018

    It can kill you? Why didn't anyone warn me. I'd heard it can make you blind, but I thought that I could just do it until I needed glasses... :)

    Match Thread Port Vale - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 26th Dec

    Got to be honest and say that this was the first game I've been to for a while, and maybe that's why I'm not too down from the result. Plenty to work on, but also some positives. The Duck looked excellent when he came on, far more lively than most of the rest of our attacking options, imho...

    Parking at Port Vale

    Thanks very much for the help guys, I'll be on the way shortly... should be a great atmosphere, and fancy we might get something out of this one too. Cheers! :)

    Parking at Port Vale

    Left it late, as usual, but heading up in a bit. Not been there before and just wondered if anyone had any tips for parking near the ground? I don't mind walking a bit, but like I say not really familiar with the set up there. Cheers for any advice, and Merry Christmas everyone! Three points...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    If you traded your bond holdings based on information that wasn't yet publicly available, then that's insider dealing or trading, as I understand it. A criminal offence for sure, but I wouldn't want to accuse anyone of it yet. In truth I'm not sure why Richardson would buy his own bonds in any...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    It's the same issue I think, Nick. It just highlights the difference in reporting standards. The CET basically take Wasps press release at face value, The Observer article takes the time to critically analyse the facts and figures. Of them all, the one that's clearest to me is OSB's...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    There's a pretty complete analysis by Les Reid here: EXCLUSIVE: Wasps ‘breach agreement’ with bondholders over Ricoh Arena value amid £43m debt It's going to take some pulling apart this. Again my gut feel is that it falls somewhere between the Telegraph's "everything is fine" minor rewrite...

    The Cycling Thread

    If you need gradients on your turbo, just stick some bricks under the front wheel. Winsford, two bricks, Meriden Hill, three bricks, Alpe d'Huez ten bricks, and so on. For downhill sections stick 'em under the rear wheel instead, and shove a fan in front of your face at maximum setting. For...

    Coventry RFC Thread 18/19

    I'll dodge the politics (for once) and just say this - if you like the game then there's no better place to watch rugby than the Butts. This was a storming performance against a team who are no mugs. It could well be the first Cov side that I've ever seen win a division! :)

    Match Thread Coventry City - Boreham Wood Match Thread - Sunday 3rd Dec

    Clem? He's an oaf. Always has been, always will be. The one good thing about Channel 5 getting the football is that I don't have to watch that boorish twat patronise people on his club 'visits'.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Boreham Wood Match Thread - Sunday 3rd Dec

    Not too shabby that. I appreciate it's not the toughest opposition we'll face, but I thought we looked well organised in defence and pretty handy in attack. Lots of decent crosses pinged in. Credit too for not rising to the bait - a few cheap shots dished out from the Boreham players...

    Positive News for the Academy - Wasps pull out of Higgs

    If interest rates are higher than inflation, as they are for Wasps bond repayment, then the real value of the debt increases. And no business can rely on a single individual to keep bailing them out. At some point every investor looks for a return, bails out, or dies. (I'm not wishing Mr...

    Positive News for the Academy - Wasps pull out of Higgs

    Yep, and like most of OSB's stuff it's very well thought out. I've replied over there rather than dragging it out on here. Basically though, my thoughts are that whichever way you stack it, you can't keep rolling over debt forever, and for all of the hoopla I don't think Wasps finances are as...
