    Earliest memories of city games

    First game I remember was in the kop directly behind the goal with my Dad playing Sheffield United at home. I reckon it must have been around 1972. I was stood on a beer crate next to a young lad about my age from Sheffield. Remember Tony Currie played that day.

    Will CCFC vanish ?

    What a silly question. Is it possible? Yes. Is it possible that Liverpool and Man U will merge? Yes Is it possible that Nick Clegg will be the next Prime Minister? Yes...

    2017/18 - Sky Blues start the season at a new ground just outside the city limits

    I forgot we were playing today. Suddenly realised at about 3:50 that there was a game on. Never done that before.

    Do Club owners become fans of the team they buy?

    Of the options available - the Ricoh. But where I'd really like to be in Highfield Road.

    Do Club owners become fans of the team they buy?

    Why on Earth would anyone buy a world class stadium in Coventry? We rattled around the Ricoh.

    Sisu, We Don't Believe You!

    For me, the cast iron proof that SISU will never do this is that there is no high margin profit to be had. Hedge funds invest in distressed debt etc. because it is cheap. If they can turn it around the returns they get can be hundreds of percent larger than initial investment. Property...

    I think relegation to the 1st Div was deliberate

    Occum had the razor stuff completely wrong. How about this one? Kennedy was never shot. It was a cover so he could live his dream as 'the Relegation Fairy'. He was seen in Coventry that year - this explains all. Sadly the promotion fairy (Elvis) has not been seen in the area for many years.

    Noel Whelan at the Ricoh (pic)

    Disagree. The light is perfectly exposed, but the colours have been photoshopped in some way so it looks more like a painting.

    Good photo. What have you done to the colour - it's interesting.

    Boxing day

    Thank Goodness! Was worried that we might go through 24 hours without a thread with everyone saying they won't go to Sixfields. Apart from RFC that is. Now can someone please rustle up a thread in which people can misspell SISU in an amusing way?

    I have no idea about the gate, can I guess the date instead? I guess 18 December.

    The club needs to hold the freehold.

    CCC doesn't care about Coventry? You find me a single member of the council who is prepared to say they don't care about Coventry and I will show you a politician about to lose his seat.

    The club needs to hold the freehold.

    Haven't seen a single reason yet. Come on, all you people who want ACL/CCC to sell - explain WHY. RFC? Moderator Rich? If there are no benefits for the club, then it invalidates everything that SISU is doing in Northampton doesn't it? Even if we don't like their means, the end is also of...

    The club needs to hold the freehold.

    Fine Rich, then explain to me what benefits freehold ownership has over leasehold - for the club that is.
