I would bet that the infrastructure at Forest Green, Tranmere and Wrexham is all on a more professional level than ours which is sort of the point he was making. Do you disagree with the central point of his post?

I caught the tail end of the JH era, started going in the promotion season. I don't think anything will rival those 6 years he was manager. However, I would agree with you. The Fergie Wallace team in that season was the best I ever saw, better even than the cup winning team. It was just such a...

The Norwich game was wonderful. Norwich came back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 by half time I think. We then lead 4-3 and 5-4 before Jim Blyth's last minute penalty save. Ian Wallace scored an amazing overhead kick but my favourite goal was scored by Bobby MacDonald who bent the ball into the net...

Sorry only just seen this. Proves what I said above. Some people love to slate Their own fans. Don't know why.

Last half century takes you back to 1966. We had an average of 28000 in 66-67. The 3 seasons following promotion we had average gates of over 30000. Over the years we have had many gates of over 30000. The Fergie- Wallace season of the late seventies saw an average of over 23000. Stands to...

You should look at the average gates and also the high gates for the late sixties. You are completely wrong.

Average crowds were never that low. The big difference was that anything he did he did it in what he thought would be the the best interests of the club. Yes, he made mistakes second time around. You exaggerate the anti JH feeling of the time. Amazing that if he was so reviled he always had...

I think the boy involved in the incident was a Coventry fan who was a Geordie and actually lived in Newcastle.

It would not be the same if we actually have owners who care and who are honest. Straight away you have a big improvement. If you think the only thing wrong with Sisu is that they don't throw money around you are way off the mark.

I did say no proof but history so far has shown no club our size has gone to the wall, therefore not quite the contradiction you make out. If you are right what we are left with then is death a few years down the line with Sisu or death because Sisu have given up or liquidated and there is no...

I've had a season ticket every season since 1971, Northampton excepted. This is my club, I will never stop supporting it no matter what happens. However, I am nor sure I will renew my two STs next year. That is not because of the crap football. I am used to that. This may be the only way I can...

Still with us, still in the league. Have owners that care about them Arguably on the way up. I would certainly swap places with them now. They have hope. We don't.

Can you name a club as big as us that has faded away? I suppose it depends on how you define "big". You could say we are a third division club with gates of 9000 and are therefore small fry. However, history, tradition and potential supporter base has to be taken into consideration. I can't...

i can't see this mentioned anywhere else on here but apologies if I have missed it. At the end of the phone in there was a call from the chap who is the chair of the Diamond Club. I think his name was Ray. He really laid into the SCG saying that it is made up of people who are to afraid to...

Second club in a two club city. No where near our potential.

Didn't know this, thanks for info.

Shouldn't that be Bullocks? Probably never going to happen but for me we have to stay as Coventry City and play in sky blue. A complete change of identity and what is left? I also feel that clubs like Chelsea and Man City have had the soul taken out of them. Man City in particular used to be a...

Maidstone- population 113,000, Stockport- population 136,000 Brighton- population 281,000 Coventry- population 337,000 All figures from Wikipedia so must be true! No surprise that Brighton survived and flourished while the other two have lost their league place. I think we can do the same...

None of these clubs had the potential that we do, even Brighton. Maidstone incidentally have reformed and are making progress up the leagues.

I feel this way too. Brighton were in a similar position, losing their ground, initially having to play 60 miles away at Gillingham and having few tangible assets but their name. I think we will come back from this, starting from when Sisu leave.
