You know that Wasps want to buy a 90% stake in ACL, putting an end to the prospect of the football club you support owning the ground they play in and ending any prospect of the club being bought out in the near future. You know that, yet can't make a judgement either way. Seriously?

Don't understand why so many people are sitting on the fence until they know the 'details'. Why? We know Wasps are actively trying to secure ownership of the Ricoh. That's all you need to know, we don't any more 'details'. People should be screaming from the rooftops about this, it would be...

There is not a chance in hell that this 'deal' will ever be to the benefit of the football club.

Hope there is a late surge, but only 1600 tickets sold for this on top of season ticket sales, and only 300 sold in total today. Unlikely to be much of a walk-up given matchday price hike. The person I spoke to today, when asked what the ticket sales look like, simply said 'horrendous'. Could...

I wouldn't worry, the predicted gate for Saturday is only 8500.

There are very few customers because there is no stock, and didn't the club also say they were staying at Gallagher because footfall is better overall? I was in the club shop recently, some guy was trying to get a name put of the back of a shirt he had bought for his son as a present. They had...

These threads are becoming tedious. The same people complaining that we had 'lost a generation of fans' last season are now whining that we are getting crowds pretty much identical to what we had prior to the move. Our crowds now are not typical, so why are people trying to pretend they are...

I just don't see how this could possibly work. As owners Wasps would, naturally, want to make the stadium their own. They probably wouldn't want to play in an arena with sky blue seats, with references to 'CCFC' and 'SkyBlues' at both ends. This move would be massively controversial for them...

Ah, the '10K hardcore' nonsense again. Totally oblivious to the fact we are currently getting our worst gates for about 50 years - so decidely UNtypical of this club, and yet completely unwilling to engage in sensible discussions about the reasons for that and how we might reverse the trend. I...

Of course some people simply cannot be arsed, or simply choose do to something else. Who has said differently? And why are you so arrogant as to think everyone ought to be as committed as you anyway? Some people can't be arsed, some people simply can't (work, distance etc), some perhaps...

Yeah, but they didn't actually do that though.

He did say our away support was 'exceptional', just about the only positive thing he said. Noel Whelan I remember did a newspaper interview when he was a player at Middlesbough when he slated the club too, but that one seems to be forgotten. Never been bothered by this sort of thing though.

Miss the fanzine culture. I take it you're not talking about SBA, so perhaps In Dublin's Fair City or Sent To Coventry/Lady Godiva Rides Again?

Don't mention big attendances and reduced ticket prices, people will assume you are trying to suggest there is some sort of link, and that'll only make them furious. I made that mistake the other day. I only happened to mention the 23,000+ gate against Colchester when tickets were reduced to...

Yeah, met Mo at an awards dinner once. Proper gent.

It really isn't that difficult to work out roughly how many tickets are sold. You can log on to the website and simply look at the number of available seats for the Yeovil game and deduct it from the number of available seats for the Preston game. Add on the 4000 ST holders, away fans, a few...

I think he wanted to say a personal thank you publicly, which seems perfectly OK to me. But he is right though. Carl Baker really is just about the nicest fotballer I have ever met.

Our current gates (basesd on 2 seasons ago anyway) are our lowest for the best part of 50 years. Why would you build a stadium only able to cater for crowds at the very lowest end of the range of gates we are capable of as a club? That's SISU logic. Our attendances will recover in time, let's...

1-0. Att 10,900.

That sort of thing was rife back in the 80s. The history books say we only averaged 17,000 the year after we won the cup, but it is a nonsense really. I remember one game - think it might have been Everton - when half the ground starting laughing when they announced the attendance. All very...
