I think you would need to ask Portsmouth fans if they are happy with their current situation or not. I think most would say that they are. At the moment we are so far away from competing above the third division that it doesn't make much difference where the ceiling is. I think the crucial...

Fair enough, I would agree with all of that. Hopefully our day will come again! I was only in Cork City once, a long time ago, early 70s. i remember it as a nice city, huge square in the centre of the town. Very colourful houses. I would like to visit again once I have fully retired. I would...

Don't they have a wealthy owner who cares about his club?

Hasn't Joy already threatened to liquidate the club? I think there is a danger that CCFC will cease to exist if it suits Sisu's agenda. The question then is what do we do. Accept that our club is dead and give up on football? I would support a Phoenix AFC Coventry City provided they played or...

One of the things that the Portsmouth guy said was to expect the fact that you will never have 100% agreement . You will never carry everyone with you and that there will always be dissenting voices.

But building all of the time. Foundations are being laid for them to move forward. 16 k average gates 12k season ticket holders. Buying land around Fratton Park for training facilities. A far better model than the one now inflicted upon us. What is the translation of your Gaelic tag by the way...

The Trust meeting showed how fan ownership can work. It also doesn't mean being fan owned forever. It could be an interim move once Sisu have gone.

If Portsmouth can do it, can't we?

Don't disagree about the break even idea. Investing in football is really another term for donating. However their form of break even is simply cost cutting. They do absolutely nothing to increase turnover and so increase the break even figure. Portsmouth operate on a break even system that is...

I was really lucky that I started going just before "The Midlands Match of the Century" against Wolves and that me and my dad were again in the West End for one of the great sky blue occasions. From a Coventry point of view they were the big rivals in those days. Not sure Wolves fans felt the same.

At the risk of sounding like the old git that I undoubtedly am, I was comparing today's experience to when I first went to Highfield Road. Fifty years ago today my dad finally gave in to me pestering him all of the time and took me to my first game. This was against fellow promotion chasing...

That's what we did, waited until the next block became available.

As the record attendance for one of these finals was 80 000 and therefore every other final having less than this it doesn't really support your argument. I can't find figures for previous finals but by definition it would seem that most brought less than 40k. If every team brought 40k every...

Both Venus and Slade have said straight after games that protests had no effect on the result. In fact Slade said after the Charlton game he had no problem with what went on. The fact remains that you seem to see protests as against the team. It is black and white, because they are not against...

Your quote refers to fans being behind the players and not against them. I say again I have never seen an protest against the players. By definition, if you are NOPM you are not at the games so are not against the players. Surely you do realise that protest are certainly black and white. The "...

When has a protest been aimed at the players?

Look at what you said. The protests that take place are never against the players. It is always against Sisu.

Not true. Forty thousand at Wembley shows the potential of this club if someone comes in and at last gets things right. The 8k that will turn up on Saturday will also show that despite everything that has been thrown at this club we can still attract larger than the league average attendance...

I'm somebody who believes that CCFC needs fans and the players will be helped with fans behind them rather than against them. Again, I'm not bringing morals or principles into it. I have joined in as many of the protests as I can. I have never been against the team. I don't think any other...

I like the Liverpool people. When ever I have been there I have found them to be friendly and funny. For one game up there I was in a beaten up old mini. I stopped at some traffic lights when a young lad knocked on then opened the drivers door and asked if I was going to the game. When I said I...
