    Council Leader Has No Intention Of Resolving City Issue - MEP

    I take it this is in jest? The misogyny on here is getting as bad as GMK !) Is it possible to have a thread in which a woman is mentioned without Insult it OR Comment on whether you want to sh@g it ?

    Les Reid interviewing Greg Clark today

    The FL, like the FA, and other sporting governing bodies, are not accountable and open to scrutiny like other public bodies. Their relationship to governments is a peculiar one, and very convenient for them to hide behind and make their rules up as they go along. This is at the heart of our...

    Ideas to keep pressure on?

    How about trying to get the Keep Cov in Cov message onto TV as much as possible. 1) Send a few on transfer deadline day to each of the big clubs training grounds or stadium wherever the cameras are with banners etc 2) Same with live Prem games when they do that vox pop thing before the game...

    The end of my 35 year + CCFC "home" habit.

    Much the same for me, actually. Been going for 40 years, seasn ticket most of those years. On Sunday I will be at the Ricoh. I will try to get to a few away matches but will not watch a "home" game outside the city. I will return when we are back in Coventry. Sad but disillusioned.

    Charity match update

    Underestimation I think. Many people at work, on holiday, no transport to Ricoh just for a ticket will pay on the gate, including me and as many as I can drag there. We will go late morning. I will be amazed if attendance is less than 15,000 and fully expect close to 20,000.

    "Save Chip"

    KEEP COV IN COVENTRY is catchy and memorable. It would make some people think about what the COV means for a second, long enough to be remembered and have an impact.

    "Save Chip"

    It was John 3, verse 16. Nothing about sheep and wolves! As it has been described as the Gospel in a nutshell it has been prominently displayed at sporting events throughout the world for many years. In USA it is also everywhere you can imagine, disposal drinks cups, napkins, flyers, toilet...

    The draw of The Ricoh...

    As you say it's about money. Most footballers couldn't find Northampton on a map. They just turn up at Ryton and get on a coach. This will just be an hour earlier than previously. That is all that will affect them. Exceptions will be the boys from Coventry area. I feel sorry for them.

    As a true Old Timer

    Chin up skybluealan. Am I alone in feeling we have let down the generation who inspired most of us to follow City? It will sound cliched to the young but my dad watched City before the war and he will be turning in his grave down Canley, with what's going on. The baby boomers have been a right...

    Sisu masterplan

    The club get all the ticket money 10,000 fans paying £15 per game x 25 games = £3.75 million That is how much money we will lose for the sake of about £ 100,000 in Food and drinks profits at Ricoh subtracted from £400,000 rent. The figures are approximate but it makes no sense.

    TF statement...

    The unthinkable is happening and I think it will again. If our blessed owners don't get planning permission etc or break ACL I bet they will take club away for good. Could be anywhere in UK. FL have shown they are useless. This will only encourage our owners. Looks like in 3 years the club will...

    Will you go to Sixfields

    FWIW I think the opposite. Young people are more biddable and gullible + have more energy. The young bucks will still see the pub crawl as an attraction.

    Will you go to Sixfields

    Whatever your view I think nobody should go to the first game there to make a point that the fans will not be walked over. This will get media attention first game. Imagine if the home section was empty.

    Time for civil disobedience

    OK it's not racism, slavery etc but if we feel strongly this is not right it is time for acts of peaceful civil disobedience. The people of Coventry have had their club ripped away. The team should have the right to bear the badge containing the emblem of Coventry removed. Legal challenge...

    First home game postponed?

    I will not be moving it elsewhere. It's my thread and it's staying put. :thinking about: I know where it belongs and if it is moved by others I will fight them tooth and nail. If they try to rename it I will fight that too.:slap: Sorry, too much sun and sporting excitement this weekend. :facepalm:
