I beg to differ, neither Clarke nor Wilson have been replaced by players of similar ability. Who is going to contribute as much as Moussa did from midfield in terms of goals? Baker splits opinion, but it's hard to see anyone other than perhaps O'Brien who has been brought in who might be any...

It sounds a lot like anti-social behaviour to me - the Council might be able to help... http://www.coventry.gov.uk/info/98/anti-social_behaviour_and_nuisance/655/anti-social_behaviour There's a whole range of criminal offences if the police need to be involved - starting from assault, and...

I see your point, but I think it's putting the cart before the horse somewhat. The club has been in steady decline, and fans have drifted away. To expect them to suddenly come back in even bigger numbers because a hideous wrong was righted doesn't make sense to me. In reality, the club has to...

Some people here will have spent thousands of pounds, and followed the City for decades. But they've seen the club going steadily backwards, and had it topped off by having it moved to Northampton for over a season by its owners. Net result, they've decided to go a bit less, or maybe decided...

Erm... using that logic shouldn't the club be charging children, seniors, and students the full adult price. Alternatively, the club should perhaps insist that all concessions should sit on a full-paying adult's lap? ;) If you're cheating to get in cheaper, then it suggests to me that you've...

So just to be clear then, it's not OK to moan about ticket prices - but it is OK to cheat to get in more cheaply? As for the beer prices, I've got the choice whether to drink or not and the quality of the beer at the stadium has been fairly consistent (poor, warm, but contains alcohol) since I...

See your point, but I can live with the prices in truth. It's not as though I'm going to have more than one or two in the ground. The frustrating thing for me is how slow the service is, and how few outlets are open. Regardless of whether it's ACL or the club that benefits, they could do a...

I don't think it's time to press the panic button yet, but this was a grisly performance. From what I've seen so far this year, most of the players we've got look like average League 1 sloggers to me. Haynes, Fleck and O'Brien are the only ones I can see that might be able to play at a higher...

As above, other than the fact I'm not really keen on MK Dons, I wish the bloke all the best.

Wycombe's not quite West London, agreed, but it's certainly a lot closer to it than Coventry. When their owner took over the club he accepted that West London was Wasps 'home' and that's where he said he wanted them to move back to. Hence discussions with Brentford. If this is about the odd...

Anytime any council tries to conduct business in secret, we should get nervous. I can accept that there might be a need for commercial confidence, but there's more than just money at stake here. There's the morality of the council being involved in a franchising scenario (which they largely...

Don't forget about the Wasps fans either. I would hope that after all of the grief that we've suffered, that CCFC fans wouldn't want to be involved in either franchising another club to our area, or damaging an historic local team, regardless of any potential benefits. In truth though, I think...

I did. I had a proper pop at Northampton - not so much their club or fans (I hope), but their money-grabbing sh*te of a chairman who tried to pitch it as a philanthropic rescue mission. Happy to have a pop at ACL if they're planning on doing the same thing to Wasps. Moving clubs away from...

I've got to say B.A., your dinnerlady is a bloody good source. ;) Embarassed me a couple of times! I was hoping for some inside info on the Wasps thing. Go get yourself something to eat for God's sake. :)

I've got to say that the Andy Turner article summarises exactly how I feel about all this. Shortest 'honeymoon' period ever. So, so sad.

To me personally, as soon as you get into talking about freehold and/or extending leasehold, then things get complicated. To me, what we want is a relatively simple deal to start off with, CCFC buying into ACL and starting to have an interest in that business. The proportion, to start off with...

I can't see much hero-worship of ACL here, except in the eyes of those who seem to search for it in every post so that they can take umbrage. Most people here seem to be saying that ACL are wrong to propose that Wasps move to the Ricoh. However whilst the club are taking the line that their...

The point was to get us home, to the immediate benefit of the extra 9,000 that are going, to the occasional and future benefit of the others that now at least have the choice to go, and to the financial benefit of the club itself.

Appreciate your honesty Rob, but why are you saying Wasps are being forced out if you're not sure? http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/apr/10/wasps-owner-derek-richardson-stadium http://www1.skysports.com/rugby-union/news/12551/9450298/premiership-wasps-issue-statement-on-ground-move The...

Hi Rob, I'm not sure where you've got the idea that Wasps don't have an alternative. As far as I understand it they're not being kicked out of Wycombe, but their owners would like to move them elsewhere. For the average league crowd that they get, circa 7,000, Wycombe's plenty big enough for...
