So you're cool with the whole muppets/scabs thing, are you Nick? What if you weren't one of those giving it, are you supposed to take it nonetheless?

So you and Nick, and possibly others are seemingly now on a NOPM campaign against ACL? You wouldn't support any protest action that took people to the Ricoh? I'm genuinely interested, what are you going to do if the club comes back to the Ricoh (with or without SISU) and ACL are still there -...

It's time to challenge this utter bollocks. The people who stand on the hill aren't muppets. The people who go into sixfields aren't scabs. If you use either of these terms, you're not helping. If you've got an argument to make, then make it, but lay off the pathetic playground name calling.

I'm so glad this isn't a cheap, tacky, poorly acted, lazily written piece of sh*te that's going to drag the city's name into the gutter. Oh.

As I recall, Warwick Uni has already got pretty decent sports facilities. Good enough for the Academy, said Fisher (until it turned it that it actually wasn't). So I don't think the Uni would be too keen from that point of view. And the rather wealthy residents certainly wouldn't, or Tesco at...

In fairness, I absolutely take the point on this. It could well be that playing without the pressure of even a half-decent crowd, or needing to achieve anything beyond survival, is helping a very young set of players. If we do start to struggle I suspect that gates wil simply decline even...

'Head slightly above the parapet'? I think you've gone a bit beyond that mate. Personally speaking, I salute you for having the bottle and determination to keep at it. I've given up doing anything beyond not going and complaining on here!

SBS - As I've said before I really like your blog, but I thought the criticism was a bit personal. If you don't like what the guy has done then why not dispute it in a more measured way. You've shown you're entirely capable of putting together a good argument based on the facts, what's Reid...

Assuming it's Coventry Airport you mean, then I reckon Finham or Styvechale as your upmarket areas, Cheylesmore or Whitley if you're looking at somewhere less expensive. Ryton or Bubbenhall are a good shout for village life out that way as suggested elsewhere. If it's Birmingham airport, then...

Funnily enough I think there's nice bits to most areas in Coventry, but conversely rough parts in most places too. The nature of cities I guess. Personally I like Earlsdon and Chapelfields, but you're surrounded by students over there these days and rents are relatively high. Styvechale is...

That would seem to imply that you're coherent when sober. ;) Have a pint of water and a couple of ibuprofen right now is my advice - ward off that hangover!

A few months ago I would have said that this is a preposterous idea, and that the FL and FA would never stand for the relocation of another club after Wimbledon. It's the old saying though - if you stand for nothing you'll fall for anything. If you offered SISU £20 million then they'd snap...

This thread has gone badly off-topic btw. Sorry.

That's me. Though after Tony got shot I ended up working in a club in Old Soho. The champagne tasted just like cherry cola. I surprised a few boys there, I can tell you. ;)

Good spot, and fair point. If I can't get pedantic then what the hell else am I going to do, talk about football? ;)

Not sure about that - Brandon Stadium was refused PP for a Sunday market by Rugby Borough Council. Not sure that's a metropolitan borough. Warwick County Council also have planning powers. https://planning.warwickshire.gov.uk/swiftlg/apas/run/Wchweeklylist.displayPlanningLists Ultimately, as...

I always wondered why everyone hated me. Now I know. Yours, Lola.

Absolutely fair enough, it's probably just cos I'm a bit tired and grumpy(er). No kisses though, wouldn't want to give you my cold sore. ;) Appreciate we differ, and you're stating your opinion in a perfectly reasonable way. However, it is a genuine question - why wouldn't SISU sell rather...

Naive is a bit of a cheap shot. I could just as well say that you're being naive or overly emotional for saying that a business interested only in the bottom line would wind the club up rather than sell. We've seen there are interested parties. In what way would liquidating the club rather...

I beg to differ. NOPM has to be hurting SISU, and the longer it goes on the more pressure they will feel. If or when SISU decide to leave, they're not going to liquidate the football club unless that makes the best financial sense. If there's an offer to buy them out, even if it's only for a...
