When I started watching football clubs shared the gate receipts for league games as well as for cup games. In the First Division of the day this meant that clubs such as Burnley ( average home gate 12k could compete on more equal terms with Man Utd average home gate 50k). The philosophy was that...

"Callous shysters who should never ever have been allowed anywhere near English football." A good description of Tim and his mates.

I think people are outraged because of all of the things Sisu have done to our club and continue to do.

I've gone to most of the Trust open meetings over the past two years. Most of the discussions have been reasonable. The people who attend are mostly over 40, seem to be typical ordinary City fans who have supported our club over a long period of time and have the genuine best interests of CCFC...

You really have a low opinion of your fellow Coventry fans.

Maybe he isn't outraged because they have an academy beyond June and somewhere to play past the end of next season. Maybe the Oxford training ground hasn't been included in a local council's housing plan. I don't remember Oxford being moved 35 miles up the road in order to distress the stadium...

Apart from needing another stand and maybe the rent, what is wrong with your current stadium?

From 2000 to 2008 the trophy finals were held in Cardiff. There does seem to be a dip in attendances for these games.

Or Swindon.

I have always hated the everyone back at corners tactic. The amount we have conceded from corners this season shows it hasn't helped. Today we actually had a couple of quick breaks due to having players on the half way line.

Matter of opinion. I didn't think Bigi was poor. A bit hit and miss maybe with some of his passing going astray but on the whole more positives about his display than negatives.

I was pleased Venus took over from TM as I had hoped that the attacking style of football would continue. What concerned me about him was his opinions when he appeared on the phone in. He followed the Sisu line on break even with out question. (I don't disagree the club has to operate within its...

I thought that Tim Fisher of CCFC had agreed a rent reduction with ACL and CCC until Joy Sepalla of Sisu said no. Who has the ultimate say so and control?

The biggest piece of blackmail was taking the club to Sixfields and holding them to ransom there.

Is it not possible to have large Sisu hating blinkers but to be able to see that all other parties involved in this fiasco haven't helped either? You seem to say that people either blame Sisu or blame the council and Wasps. I think most can see fault lies with all parties. It seems clear to me...

After we won the semi final, anyone who went to the remaining 4 league games were given some priority for Wembley tickets, those games were all sell outs as far as I can remember. I don't remember a requirement to buy a season ticket as being necessary to buy a cup final ticket. The following...

I think we took about 25k to the cup final. Gates were definitely much improved the following season.

If 50% of the Wembley attendance came to support the City I think we would all be happy. I think you underestimate how many of the 40k are City fans waiting for a reason to return.Even 16k to 22k is a lot more than 12k. The season of the "Entertainers", the late 90s we finished 14th, not really...

These are the gates for the trophy finals over the past twenty years. 2016 Barnsley Oxford 59k 2015 Bristol C Walsall 72k 2014 Chesterfield Peterborough 36k 2013 Crewe Southend 44k 2012 Chesterfield Swindon 50k 2011 Carlisle Brentford 40k 2010 Carlisle Southampton 73k 2009 Luton Scunthorpe 55k...

Not embarrassed at a game but later. My son and I went to see City play a pre season friendly at Shrewsbury a few years ago. We got caught out by the fact that this was the new Shrewsbury ground which we hadn't realised was in the middle of no where with no parking around. I think we were the...
