Depends. If SISU had anything to do with the naming, I'd be pretty dubious!

1-0 win at Wolves. Evening kick off at the end of the 1970 season. Pretty sure that it was the game where we qualified for Europe. Think that Brian Joicey scored. Then the 1-0 win at Villa in the Cup. Our first win there. Least favourite was losing 7-1 at the Baggies.

Quite correct in my view.

Clive is a bit prone to getting the names of teams mixed up, but that was probably the funniest yet :)

What's the betting that Shrewsbury will be 0-0 :)

Looking on the bright side, that attendance would have given us the fifth biggest crowd in the Conference yesterday.

Great credit to a young team to come back like that at the end (again).

Hoping for a win today so that we'll be on a roll for next Saturday when I can actually see us play!

I refer you back to my previous comment. A group that represents circa 20% of an organisations customers...... I've worked in software for a fair number of years. Before that I was a buyer/user of software. All the software companies had user groups. Sometimes the relationship between the...

As I recall, numbers were estimated at over 5k, so I guess you can probably manage the maths yourself. Was there a point to the question?

Not sure why recognising that the (vast, in my opinion) majority of the blame sits with SISU means that other parties are then by definition heroes.

Perhaps because they have a couple of thousand members who (it is reasonable to assume) are/were all pretty committed customers of theirs. So a group that represents circa 20% of their customer base - most commercial organisations would see that as something worth paying attention to.

Yes, please excuse the sarcasm - I tend to be a little more pissed off on match days! I guess that what it comes down to is that whilst pretty much everyone would agree that there are two sides to blame, some see that as 50/50 and others more like 90/10. Personally, I'm in the latter group.

Don't you think that moving the club to Northampton might have contributed? Just a tiny bit perhaps.

I've followed the club despite never living in Coventry (family came from Cov). I've been going since the 60's, but won't go to Northampton.

That is the general rule, but in our negotiations with Northampton we agreed that they would have priority. Fair enough really - it is their ground after all.

Difficult to ignore such a balanced argument :p

It includes an article from Private Eye: Private Eye article about sisu and CCFC In case you haven't seen it (and are interested in a different perspective) here's an article from Private Eye. Coventry City The sad demise of the Sky Blues - now a homeless former Premiership club...

No - just like I was always suspicious of those who pontificated on the "fact" that the "average" rent in the third division was £170k.

Just so that I understand this correctly: As this is a temporary arrangement (though a minimum of 3 years with an option to extend to 5, is at the longer end of the "temporary" scale....) no one knows what the rent is. But when SISU were rubbishing the £400k rent offer (for a 32,000 capacity...
