    If you could have one new thing at the Ricoh

    Less negative interference from the Stadium Advisory Group would be a bonus. Always seemed like they were actively working against the interests of the club right from the QPR match when we first played at the Ricoh and had to play in front of a reduced crowd, when we could have filled the...

    Get (cefovid) Ronald to the Ricoh!

    I would wait until matches are played in front of crowds and Covid restrictions are relaxed. Post Covid he might need to get vaccinated before travelling anyway - not sure how far advanced that will be in Uganda. When he does apply for a visa it might also be wise to get CCFC involved, as well...

    Liam Walsh

    There should also be a great big asterisk put next to our historical averages for this latest period, given it includes 'home' games played in Northampton and Birmingham.

    Matty James

    A lot is going to be dependent on the options MR gets to make. The more season tickets are sold the more SISU will release the purse strings, so much of what will happen on the transfer front is in our hands as fans. edit - Just read this back and of course it is stating the obvious, but...

    Season Tickets - £299

    City fans love to jump on a bandwagon so if it looks like season ticket sales are taking a big leap, the club need to keep the PR wheels churning over by emphasising those sales so that others are encouraged to follow.

    Season Tickets - £299

    £299 is a fantastic season ticket price for the Championship. I know we are not a traditionally big selling season ticket club but I hope this changes that, even if only for a season.

    Rotherham v Cov game now off too !

    Rotherham are a big physical side, so losing Ostigaard could be difficult for us if that's how things pan out.

    Rotherham v Cov game now off too !

    The only way for Rotherham not to play 3 times in one week is to play us or Luton during the international break, with the other game played in the mid week before the final weekend's fixtures. Big call by the EFL as to how they arrange this. Anyone know if Luton are likely to have any players...

    Out of Contract Championship Players

    You've misunderstood. I'm saying you can expect more of the same. McFadzean was an exception to the rule, and there is a chance one old hand might be brought in I guess, but generally the club will stick with its policy of buying younger, cheaper players. Given that our whole team should have...

    Out of Contract Championship Players

    Those players you mention brought in at League 1 level now have championship experience, and I anticipate a number of those existing players from League 1 will significantly improve from this year's experience. Given our continued financial limitations I can't see us bringing anymore than one 30...

    12 Games to Go

    There is still a quarter of the season left. We are reaching the point last season when football was put on hold. The difference in the Championship table at that point compared to how it ended up should make everyone realise that so much can change within any period of 12 games. For what its...

    Video Mark Robins | Middlesbrough Reaction

    Wasn't one of Robins best games as a manager. Still can't fathom why Biamou wasn't brought back for set pieces - it could be argued that he is more effective doing that than in his role up front :) Not so sure McCallum would have ended up marking their big centre half for their first goal if...

    Ian St John

    I know we were only a very small part of his footballing career but given his overall impact on football I was slightly surprised our players didn't wear black armbands last night.

    Match Thread Middlesbrough ("H") - Tues 2nd March - 19:00 KO - St. Andrews

    Seems nuts not sending Biamou back to defend set pieces. Would also like to see Dabo more involved going forward.

    It is unrealistic but... Own the Ricoh (at least half of it at least) or Build a new stadium at Warwick Uni?

    I think you're underestimating the travel issues connected with a potential stadium near Warwick Uni. Most of the Warwick Uni students will live on campus or near enough and won't require transport, so you're not really comparing like with like. As of now I also think the Ricoh has better...

    Darren Moore

    He seems like a decent enough appointment to me. I think he's done a decent job at Doncaster, and even if they do go down I would fancy him to bring them straight back up next season.

    U23 Vs Wednesday

    It would be a shame if Eccles doesn't get a chance with us, but if we end up signing James and Sheaf its difficult to see where he fits in. He's certainly providing MR with some food for thought though.

    Ricoh Return

    Not sure we have ever sold that many season tickets. I'm guessing that 67/68, 87/88 and our first season in the Ricoh would be our biggest season ticket selling seasons, but we have never been a club that shifts large numbers of season tickets. Clubs traditionally of similar size even if they...

    Steve Hunt

    I'm presuming you are connected to him and/ or the book. I don't recall him ever showing up at any of our clubs 'legend' days events, which is a shame, as any supporter that saw him play would rate him amongst the best we had play for us, and well worthy of that 'legend' status. I'm not sure if...

    Tonights games 23rd Feb and predictions

    Got a horrible feeling Blues are going to get a result (hopefully only a draw if they do). Norwich's recent form and their comfortable lead at the top could make them a little complacent. Otherwise wins for Derby, Luton and Rotherham, with Wycombe grinding out a draw against Reading.
