I can't say that this person or that organisation would have come in to save us. The fact is that I don't know. As I have said above, no club of our size has ever "gone" and their have been lots in just as precarious position as we were.Those clubs that have had to close down have all been...

You are still saying that if administration had happened no one would have been interested in rescuing the club. How do you know this. No club of our size has ever disappeared. Why would we?

How do you know that if Sisu had not appeared on the scene all of those years ago that if we had gone into administration, that someone else who actually cared about the club and who knew what they were doing would not have come along. History proves you wrong because in my time being interested...

Or sold it on to someone who cared about it and who knew what they were doing. How can anyone not see that Sisu have been an utter disaster for our club.

Really impressed by his work rate and attitude. He has the ability to stick his foot in and nick the ball from opponents, sometimes to regain possession often just to slow down or disrupt an opposition move. One of the great things about Saturday was the way that Lameiras and the other flair...

Great crowd scenes too. Must be a near 30k crowd with no segregation. You can pick up the strains of the Sky Blue Song on occasions. Some of the chants seem really innocent ("In the net" as Machin takes a corner)

There is a great clip of him on YouTube from a game against Bolton in 1967. Picks the ball up in his own half at the Kop end of the ground, beats several players before crossing for Bobby Gould to score at the West End.

Couldn't agree more. What most fans want to see is fast flowing, slick football. Lots of shots, saves, chances, near misses and goals, along with knowing your team has given their all. I can't see any virtue in 40 completed passes that leaves you back in the place you first started from and...

Should read other posts before posting!

Another hat trick. This time from David Cross. I think he also got a hat trick on the last day of that season away at Burnley.

At the risk of going off at a tangent, my beef with Sisu is nothing to do with sustainability. If they were honest and said this is our plan, this is what we are going to do and this is where we will take the club then no problem. However, lack of communication, downright lies (too many examples...

Seven caps for Ireland.

Rant started again! I read the other day about Chelsea being one of the biggest clubs in Europe. I think it was the season before Avramovitch took over, they got to their first FA cup final in years. We had a night game against them at Stamford Bridge which I think we won, one of our goals...

Some people just seem to love to run down the people of this City and county. Is their something in the genes of people around here that make them more fickle than anywhere else in the country? As I mentioned on another thread, in terms of win ratios, we are probably the least successful team in...

Another indication of our potential is the fact that we hold the record away attendance in this country (at least we did a Blues fan I work with claims it is them for one of their Leyland Daf finals) this was for the fifty odd thousand who attended the Charity Shield match against Everton. (A...

Not true. Go and look at the statistics. Last 4 games at Highfield Road before the cup final were sell outs. Attendances also gradually rose as people could sense something special was about to happen. There were several sell outs in the season after the cup final too. This was at a time when...

Not sour grapes on my part. Since they have come in they have put Sisu to shame with their PR and their over all approach. However, in my view they should not be here. They have become a franchise club. Despite their free travel plan and reduced tickets last season they have left their loyal fan...

Sisu don't seem to have a plan.If they do it is a very, very secret one. Until they go I can't see any real progress off the pitch.Only hope on it is down to Mowbray. It would be interesting to see the gates if Wasps hit a bad patch. Can't see to many standing by a losing, outsider rugby team.

I drove past the Ricoh today and glanced at the insect signage that is adjacent to the A444. It got me wondering would we ever be in a position to own it as we should do. Wishful thinking but could all of these events fall into place? In the next two years we get promoted. Sisu decide we are not...

Great memory to be leaving home with! I was working at the Alvis at the time. A good few City supporters there but also a good few people who were only happy when they could sneer at us. I loved going in the next day after this game as they had little to say!
