    Sisu bullying back-firing?

    Is that a serious question Nick or are you playing games? I'll assume it's serious for now as I'm not sure you are taking the piss. Firstly, why pick on a rugby club? The general question is "why aren't all councils trying to bring in organisations that will bring wealth into their city?" and...

    Sisu bullying back-firing?

    I'm writing about their mandate, Nick; not the individuals. I very much doubt if any politician cares about anything other than power and themselves, but as an organisation their responsibility is the city, not the City. If you think empathically then it makes all the sense in the world to...

    Sisu bullying back-firing?

    I respectfully disagree. The fault lies with the club in my opinion and the reason is motivation. CCC's mandate is the prosperity of the people of Coventry; if that overlaps with the fortunes of the club then that's great but if it doesn't they must do what is right for the entire city, not...

    Could those attending Wasps games...

    I don't understand the fascination with Wasps at all; why transfer the unhappiness about what CCFC did to itself onto people who like rugger?

    This site is like a morgue

    Ever since the upgrade, this site has become far too busy: banners waving; music blasting from every post. Get your act together Nick and let's have some more sedate internet stuff.

    Where does everyone see CCFC .............

    Very interesting question. Top Estimate I don't see a large upside: the club isn't worth anything other than potential and I cannot see SISU walking away without realising a profit. It very much depends on what happens on the pitch. Could we get into the Premiership without the investment...

    Anybody into Gothic Stuff?

    Went onto the roof on Notre Dame - fantastic gargoyles. Went through a phase of photographing them and similar - have some good ones too from Salisbury Cathedral and Kensal Green Cemetery.

    Anybody into Gothic Stuff?

    I like Bauhaus and Virgin Prunes. Saw Bauhaus once in Chippenham and Virgin Prunes in an old church in Bristol.

    Vive la Republique!

    Unemployment in France is over 10% and more than double that in the UK. They are relaxing the employment rules in order to encourage higher employment.
