Yes Southend were a bit of a bogey side in those days I think that 5-2 drubbing was when we were top of division 3 and flying and Southend more or less bottom from that match we went on a losing spree just about getting promotion by the skin of our teeth.

Brian Hill was a bit unlucky with injuries each time he seemed to get established he got hurt so we had players like Jimmy Whitehouse, John Smith, Ian Gibson and Brian Lewis coming in along with first team regular Ronnie Farmer Hill struggled to become what we would call a regular and remember...

I think that's about it for McCann here, shame really he started to look the part. Needs replacing which will be interesting.

You are spot on Astute and it's about time all this was put to the council for answers so this farcicle subject can be put to bed once and for all and we can get on with getting something sorted at the Ricoh

It was Dave Meason, Hill bought him to replace fan favourite Arthur Lightening who he had flogged off to Middlesbrough. Meason got off to a poor start think we lost at home 4-3 to Southend on his debut with him at fault for a number of their goals and fans never took to him Wesson came in and...

The original plan for a new ground was to build a whole new ground on the HR site, the plan was to turn the ground around with the East stand running the length of the ground and three new stands being built in stages. That suddenly changed and the old ground and surrounding land was sold off...

Sunken pitches, negotiating a water table, major infrastructure alterations, then constructing three more grandstands, if in the remote chance all this got through planning, where will the money come from ?

Remember that period well, we had finished third the season before just missing out on promotion and we hadn't started that well. The next league cup-tie we lost at home to Brighton who were a league lower, new signing Ian Gibson had a bust up with JH we were struggling it wasn't until the...

The guy in the dinner jacket is certainly handsome enough to be me

Wtf ! have you got a job ?

I think Barcelona created another tier by sinking their pitch might be wrong though

I am sure Wasps will stick to their mo legals stance from their point of view they have to

Well said......Tim

Oh yes you are. (she's behind you)

What's wrong with it ffs! ? Makes a point, not personal, or insulting unless you are a witch.

Used to be numbers 6 and 4 Number 6 was normally the defensive one who partnered the centre half and number 4 the attacker and ball winner who would link up with the number 10, the inside left. Centre midfield didn't really exist because teams played with two out and out wingers

Five of that team went on to play in top division incredible really can add Dietmar Bruck to those too. If we could add Willie Humphries and Ronnie Rees to our present squad we would fly to the top slot.

There is more chance of Grendel buying a season ticket to watch Wasps than ccfc playing at Butts Park Arena.

We used to collect autographs wait at the Main Stand and pick off the players as they walked up King Richard Street, strangely Brian Hill would never sign he would break into a jog to get by but yes he was a very good player all the same

There is an alternative site, or could be, the recently vacated car compound that used to be Lex on the corner of Foleshill Road and Old Church Road, plenty big enough for a Highfield Road type cloned stadium. A stones throw from the Ricoh so parking will be little difference to what we have now.
