    Wembley Train Tickets

    As other thread - beware of taking this at face value. Which staff did she speak to, and from which operator. Chiltern are clearly aware of demand and are laying on extra trains - Virgin and London Midland could do with commentating though.

    Trains on Sunday

    Unless the person raising this has spoken to all three operators, I'd have some doubts about this. Chiltern are definitely laying on extra trains, and I can't beleive that Virgin and London Midland haven't taken notice of demand either. Would be nice to have an official announcement of course...

    Have we sold out for Wembley?

    Well, you could argue that we're a tin pot club these days. I'll drop you a line when we're in the Champions League final though, maybe you'll be able to pop along if you're not too busy.

    1987 Cup Final Hat

    A mate of mine at the club shop said we had 32,000 of these in yesterday, but they've all sold out. ;) Ah, that's never going to get old... anyway, I had one of these too, but God knows where it's got to - at the bottom of a box somewhere no doubt. I obviously bought it though I don't...

    Torch's Counselling Thread

    Argh. I've just googled Hickman line - I wish I hadn't! I'm scared of even having blood tests. I suppose chucking a bit of domestos down it is a non-starter then?! :) Sorry to hear you're not well again Torchy - hope you're back out soon.

    Tesco parking

    You're only obliged to keep receipts for 14 days though G, if they're issuing fines beyond that timescale then they're in effect breaching their own terms.

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    Ditto OSB, I know that you come at this fairly and if we differ it's in the right spirit. Your question is better than mine, indisputably. :) I think that there's every possibility that the mediation is just another SISU smokescreen. I absolutely accept that, I guess what I want is for the...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    The legal dispute is a Judicial Review on a single, specific issue. There's no breach of contract, SISU as far as we know do not owe the council any legal debt. There's nothing stopping CCC talking about anything else they want to, or more specifically joining in with any mediation that...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    A well constructed posting as ever OSB, but I think there are a couple of things I'd pick up on. There's no indication of CCC being supportive of CCFC moving into the Butts. Far from it in fact. Sharp's statement clearly says that CRFC won't deal with SISU, and I think we're all agreed that...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    No, you're struggling with your reading again. There's a mediation in progress that the council could get on board with. They're not. I don't mind that you've got a different opinion on what the council should do, that's fine - but the pretence that there isn't something that they could do is...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    I've read it mate, though funnily enough it hadn't been released when this discussion started. Are you sure you have read it though, you know properly that is, without moving your lips and dribbling. I find the key is to proper comprehension is grasping the context - I'd hate for you to look...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    On board with mediation Tony. You know when I said you weren't daft, I'm having my doubts now. What's the point of getting started on anything in the city of Coventry if the council are clearly hostile to the idea. The best way of outing the idea as rubbish would be to go along with it and...

    Ryton

    Would gently differ - there's a bit of a training area and the buildings and car parks too (have just googled it). Regardless, I'd totally agree that I wouldn't mind selling it if we could come up with something broadly equivalent or better. Like you, I'm not daft enough to believe that that's...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    Which is absolutely fair enough John, except that I don't think that there's ever been a story quite like ours. In fact, I'm thinking of turning it into a musical. (Tom Hardy has expressed an interest in playing Fisher, he likes dark, conflicted characters). However to focus solely on our...

    Ryton

    In truth Pete, I don't think the indoor part of the connexion would be up to it as is anyway. Ryton's a bit bigger than two pitches though isn't it? Been a long time since I was there but don't you have the pitches, a training area plus the offices, canteen and changing rooms. A fair size...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    If it's not up-to-date, then by definition it's not current. ;)

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    Where's the evidence that SISU will leave after JR2 and Ryton are sold? Are you sure that you're not playing your own little internal charade here John? Even then JR2 could take years. I suspect that you've become so obsessed with 'beating' SISU that you'd be happy for that to happen. And...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    Isn't the point here that it would be a lot easier to do if all parties were on board, including by definition the council? You've accepted now that they've tried to block a possible move to the Butts already, I think. Unless you're a bit daft, and I don't think you are, I think you'd also...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    Sounds like you'd kill the patient to cure the disease. You've realised that SISU aren't going anywhere at the moment, right?

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    If that's the attitude then it's also not rocket science to suggest that you're facing the real possibility of the club leaving the town, tumbling further into the abyss or folding entirely - perhaps all three! Maybe that's OK for you if it's the price of getting rid of SISU. but I'd rather find...
