Let's ask them Nick! C'mon, if ML really isn't scared of any awkward questions then people like OSB are exactly who the club should be talking to. If they can convince him that they've got a plan I'd buy it for sure!

Fuck all to do with Kestrels though, is it? As you know, CCLFC have used the Ricoh a number of times, as have others. Let's be honest, neither you nor I know why ACL have chosen to charge that much this time - you've made up your mind though, without troubling yourself too much with any...

Right, so not orchestrated then, just that you, personally, didn't like it. Maybe you should stay away from large gatherings of CCFC supporters, they seem to upset you rather. You'll be OK at Sixfields though. ;)

Yeah, and those mints they put in those funny shaped bowls taste awful too. Good to see that you wash your hands though, well brought up obviously. ;)

'Well-orchestrated'? Were you ordered to shout 'SISU Out' at gunpoint? Could it be, perhaps, that what went on at the march reflected the majority of popular opinion at that time?

Until the JR is done and dusted, I still don't really see what the council can do, or say for that matter. The council (officers and councillors) take the line that their legal advisors have told them not to comment. I know that Rob doesn't agree with this, the argument being that sub judice...

Ooh that's a golden snippet, Nick - they won't deal with OSB? That sounds an awful lot to me like it's because they're scared someone might ask really awkward questions.

Precisely my point, and maybe they have different requirements as a result. Do you know? I'd have thought if they'd got something else arranged they would have just said 'no', in truth. But it's always good to get a bit of lazy sniping in when you can - it reminds me not to bother taking...

You were made to feel like a scab because of something going on over 35 miles away? You must have great hearing. And you didn't actually attend the charity game, but you choose to describe it in perjorative terms based on a few moments of mobile phone footage. If you felt guilty for going to...

I think that's probably the key - something is different. I notice that it's the FA going to ACL rather than the ladies team trying to hire it direct. Maybe the FA insisted on something different. I can see how a night game would be more expensive than a day game, but obviously not to this...

Right - the 10,000+ supporters who aren't going to Sixfields and haven't done in every game since the opening day are sheep. If you want to go to sixfields, you go mate. Just don't pretend that the rest of us aren't going because we're sheep - that's bullshit and you know it.

Absolutely, that used to drive me nuts. The whole system seemed to be designed to extract as little money as possible from people, whilst simultaneously causing them the most aggravation. I liked to call it the Ricoh Order Prevention System. I would have spent a lot more on food and beer at...

In your opinion. Plenty of of others, including me, would say you're talking rubbish. And let's not forget all of the other games at Sixfields where the attendance was pathetic. When the team come back to Coventry, they'll have my support at home games - until then and like the other 80-90% of...

All politics aside, the automated turnstiles were a bit of a farce weren't they. They always had to have someone stood either inside or next to them it seemed, I can't see how it saved very much money, personally.

Yep, not disputing that mate. I just wonder if the BCFA said something like you've got be ready for 5,000 or something. If they didn't then why can't they play at Bedworth, which would surely suit both teams better, and as you say could be stewarded by a handful at most (which is what CCLFC...

Not sure about CT mate. In fairness you'll have seen a lot more of him than I have this season, but the few games I have seen this year, and a few more last year suggested to me that he's got some real promise. I doubt he's on a fortune, I'd be tempted to stick with him and see if he comes good.

I don't know for CCFC, were they paid direct by the club? For the ladies team I doubt they've got paid-for stewards for example. Is this about the costs for the ladies game, or the overall costs of running ACL when CCFC were there?

Staff & stewarding is the most obvious one I'd say.

I suppose in fairness there's a difference in costs between hosting a match with a handful of specatators, and hosting one where perhaps they're expecting a lot more. If they're not expecting a lot of spectators, then why couldn't they use the Bedworth Oval as an alternative (where they used to...

If it comes to dealing with WUMs like Grendel, then rope-a-dope would seem to be particularly apposite, and I don't think I'm in need of any help with regard to him. To be honest I just ignore him, fwiw, though it cheers me up that I still get under his skin from time to time. Petty, I know...
