I suspect there's some jealousy here. Could it be that your tender years mean that you're only capable of a thin smattering of student bumfluff, swept away in the first autumnal breeze, rather than a full-tilt Fisher complete with nesting sparrows? Overcome your pogonophobia, young man. In...

I'm Paul James and so is my wife. :)

Must confess that I've given up on trying to get tickets. I simply can't spend ages queuing up or on line when there's work to do. Looking at it calmly, I'm not too down about it, it's not as though I've seen much of them over the last year or so - and they'll be a hooky internet feed or two...

It's going to be tricky that. You can drink twice as much tea and coffee, and also spend double the time reading the paper in the bog I suppose - but there's only so long that you can sit and stare out of the window, and you don't want to be idly surfing the internet in the office until...

With regard to this I'd heard we're bringing Aidy Boothroyd back - it's going to save us a fortune. :)

Not for the first time, I'm confused about Fisher and SISU's logic here. They're going to have to find, conservatively, £20m - £30m to build a new, smaller stadium from scratch. The new stadium, being smaller, and likely more poorly located, won't have the capability to make as much money as...

In a nutshell, this is what I got, I had to leave before the end of the interview... Shane O'Connor started by asking about Labovitch: TF: Mark's role was independent advice during turbulent times. (Suggested no longer required, but would remain a friend of the club). SOC: Have you come out...

The quotes I liked best were the misquotes. ;) Can't say that I'll miss ML much. Out of all of the recent directors (even including the utterly barmy Orange Ken), he seemed the most divisive. Some people seem to delight in spin, confusion, and provocation - getting shot of him is a smart move.

OK, I confess, I'm utterly baffled. We've got a 32,000 seater stadium. We've sold 15,000 tickets on general sale, and are reserving 4,000 others for ST holders. We'll have to block out (say) 2,000 for away fans. That's 21,000. Let's say another 1,000 are lost for segregation and other...

That's how I read it too. Not an issue in terms of how he runs his show, but I'd rather we had a die-hard Cov lad in there. Rob Gurney, where are you... ;)

I'm not convinced about doing this just for atmosphere, I think it's a bit more about cutting costs. Otherwise, as Nick says, it would be better to simply move everyone closer to the pitch, and have home support behind both goals. Regardless, and fwiw, I always thought the 'home' end should...

Torchy's cat will be getting nervous. ;)

Just tell the steward that you knew you wouldn't be allowed to bring a flammable banner into the ground, so you've confirmed that yours is inflammable. :)

Ah, that way lies disaster. By the time you get out, you'll probably have lost enough to buy us all a season ticket. :)

No mate, not here. Apologies, I was trying to post something that wasn't divisive!

I'll be there - or at least as much as I was in the last few seasons. I don't have the same passion for the club as I used to, and my personal life is a bit busier now that I've got kids to look after. In fairness, that's not all down to SISU (especially the last bit, I hope!), but it's bloody...

Don't even know where to start. Great news, I am genuinely surprised. As fans I hope we can get past all of the SISU v ACL v CCC bullshit now, and just get back to slating the players. ;) No problem with the fact that it's a short-term deal either. This means that both sides will have to...

Now there's an opinion that's based on a general dislike of the council rather than backed by any actual data I'd venture. It's just lazy thinking, like RFC's assertion that the council turned down planning for HR when there is no evidence of any plan on the table, or the good old bullshit...

I would check 'off-line' too, but in fact for something like this I wouldn't need to. Football ground redevelopments in residential areas are always going to be very, very hard to get through PP I'd venture. Blaming the council for that is ridiculous, which is where I came in, I think...

No need to ask Uncle Joe, RFC. Just point us to the documents or stories where CCFC applied for planning permission, please? It's a matter of public record, planning, so it should be there somewhere. No? And even if they did suggest that PP might be hard to come by for a major stadium...
