It was a genuine question. I agree with the answers to all of the three questions you set. Where we differ I suspect would be in the reasons for number three. I wish that CCC had not sold the Ricoh to Wasps as that really is, as we would both agree, the hammer blow to our future. However I can...

Looking at the answers to the first two questions, should City fans have gone into Sixfields?

Well that puts the whole move into perspective. How was anyone supposed to know what the truth of the matter was, temporary move or moving for good. The fact is that you cannot believe a word that comes out of his mouth. The independent view from the judge was that there was no good reason to...

His connection with the North Korean leader goes deeper as he was present, and will testify to the truth of the matter, when Kim Jong Il scored his record breaking 11 holes in one. Honest Tim as the North Koreans call him.

Supposed to be for three years with no return to the Ricoh and any new stadium being built outside of Coventry. According to Tim therefore we were never coming back.

That's true, but you can't help thinking what might have been with just a bit of discussion.

Are they also good friends with Hasslebank as he was first choice before Slade?

Not quite true if you read what JH had to say about the situation. He had asked for a ten year contract, a request which Robbins rejected. JH has stated that he was hoping that they would come back to him with a compromise deal but when this never happened, he left. The fact he stayed on for...

So the fact we are now in the fourth division is simply down to CCFC nothing to do with Sisu? Having no stadium to play in after next season, no academy, training ground up for sale, all down to CCFC, nothing to do with Sisu? You are right that Sisu can take credit for the good start last...

Pool Meadow would be a great site. The ball might end up on the ring road occasionally, but a more central place you couldn't find. Might even be able to reconfigure the road lay out so that the new club grounds could occupy the area where the swimming baths and the sports hall are now. Right...

I believe that Dortman still have a massive terrace where fans can stand. It is understandable why the Taylor report called for all seater stadiums to be introduced but I feel it was an over reaction. For example, would a purpose built standing terrace be less safe than thousands of fans...

Certainly agree with stadium design. You used to be able to tell individual grounds by the shape of their stands and other features. Highfield Road for a time had matching stand roofs, those distinctive curves that made up the Sky Blue and Main Stands. I think the Ricoh is a good stadium but it...

As Venus was still in charge of the team, you would think that Fisher would have had the task of finding his replacement. Wasn't it Fisher that spoke to JFH and was turned down?

Sisu have ultimate control. If they choose to employ Fisher and Venus and their employees mess up the buck still stops with them. So yes, Slade is a Sisu appointment.

I will be nearly 90 but would hope to be around for our return to the big time! Realistically it would be nice to just see a little upward momentum. Promotion next season would be a start.

Don't they need to go first before this can happen? Part of the problem has been that our influence as fans is very limited, protests have a limited effect, some people taking a NOPM stance. Despite everything done and said they are still here. How can we have any influence in the direction of...

I seem to remember to that in some of their darker days that they would have a certain nominated game in a season where fans of other clubs would attend a Brighton game wearing their own clubs shirt as a sign of unity and support. Maybe we might even get SUFC or SAFC fans coming to one of our...

I think that of all the clubs that have been in trouble over the past 20 years or so Brighton, as you say, were in the position most similar to ours. Shocking owners, ground sold from under them, having to play home games 60 miles away. They have survived all of that plus nearly going out of the...

Tim's favourite programme when he was growing up was the lunchtime legal drama Crown Court. This gave him the vast and comprehensive knowledge of the whole British legal system that he has today. It allowed him to declare with confidence and authority that the judge was "wrong in fact and in Law."

I have a smile to myself (or even a slightly manic chuckle) when I hear they have lost. Particularly pleased when they went out of the European competition to Leinster a few weeks ago. Childish I know, but I can't help it. Talking to some people (2 separate occasions) who have bought season...
