That's a shit comparison. That involved an already poorly supported club moving to the largest urban area in the UK without a league club and starting afresh. What large population centre could SISU move us to where there is no football club and a decent sized ground sitting empty? Not only...

Boycott? Our average gates: 05/06 21,180 06/07 20,342 07/08 19,123 08/09 17,408 09/10 17,305 10/11 16,310 11/12 15,119 12/13 10,864 Seems to me, large numbers of city fans started boycotting the club years ago, and what good has it done exactly?

The original league share was issued to CCFC Holdings Ltd (then known as The Coventry City Football Club Ltd), ie it was never with CCFC Ltd. If it is now with CCFC Ltd (which didn't exist before 1995), when did that happen? Perhaps following relegation back into the football league? Nobody...

I think this thread is a new low. Veiled threats aimed at people because they are planning to buy a season ticket? What fresh lunacy is this? The idea that a boycott is the way forward doesn't stack up anyway. People talk about 'lining SISUs pockets' when every penny spent by the fans goes...

You talk as though any move out of the city would be permanent, when we all know it wouldn't last more than a season in reality. Start a new club fine, but within a season or two, the real CCFC would be back in the city playing league football. Who would people choose to watch, CCFC or some...

Yes it can.

Simply not true. They did not 'buy the land' and they didn't 'fund the build' either. The council's contribution (from its own coffers) was minimal, but they did help bridge the funding shortfall by securing a loan from the bank which was paid by ACL (up until recently at least). They did...

It is simple, any move would have to be temporary (and it would). The club could not survive outside the city for more than a season or two, and on that basis I would follow them during that temporary exile. Brighton fans followed their team to Gillingham, Bristol Rovers fans watched their...

That doesn't really make any sense. We need a ground that holds 5K because rent would be smaller? Perhaps marginally, but the potential to make money from gate receipts would be vastly reduced. We could only give away teams 500 tickets - imagine playing Wolves and only giving them a few...

Will get one regardless of where we play.

Hysterical nonsense. The British people suffered more in the 1970s than they did in the 1980s when living standards were raised considerably (both in relative and real terms). You talk as if you knew her personally? She wasn't emotionless; hardly, she was a very emotive person. She didn't...

When Harold Wilson was dieing, MT when to visit him in hospital and spent some time with him. A formidable political foe he might have been, but she respected him. Compare that to her political opponents cracking open bottles of champagne because an old lady has passed away. Some people have...

Sorry, don't recognise that description. I know my neighbours and speak to them regularly. I guess you just have to make the effort. It typifies the ridiculous sense of entitlement many in this country have that they blame the Government for the fact they cannot be bothered to speak to...

Indeed, the NUM brought down the Heath Government. No single trade-union should have that much power. MT was determined that was not going to happen again, and what unfolded was was unpleasant and not a great chapter in British history. Let's not forget though, more coal mines closed under...

The great irony is that the BNP are actually statist in their outlook - they are a far-left party in many respects (they are pro-trade union, anti free-market, advocate the re-nationalisation of industry and would seek to suppress the individual freedoms many on the right hold dear). It's no...

Well, I believe in liberty. I believe in freedom of the individual, and that individuals and families should take more responsibility for themselves and help those around them, rather than rely on an over-bearing state to provide everything. So in that sense, I agree with her; but equally that...

I've long been of the opinion that Mutton is an idiot. An embarrassment really, this is a man that wears trade union pin-badges when meeting big-business. Is it any wonder nobody wants to invest in Coventry when this is the first person they are presented with? And yet, people keep voting for...

She did say "there is no such thing as society", but this is the full quote: "There is no such thing as society. There is living tapestry of men and women and people and the beauty of that tapestry and the quality of our lives will depend upon how much each of us is prepared to take...

'The Coventry City Football Club Limited' was incorporated in 1907 and is now known as CCFC (Holdings) Ltd following a change of name in 96, CCFC Ltd was incorporated in the mid-90s. In other words, 'Holdings' is the original company, and yes, the shares that were handed over were in THIS...

Players probably less deserving of their lap of honour this season than ever before. This season has been an epic failure. Points deduction aside, that we have managed to finish outside the top 6 this season in this awful league is a travesty. Without the deduction we are currently level on...
