There might be ways you could slightly increase the size of the butts and make them a more attractive shape. Things like diverting main roads, knocking down pubs and petrol stations, and taking chunks out of little parks - physically possible but expensive and no doubt highly controversial.

I’ve just noticed that the Butts site has one huge advantage that no other could possibly match - the Local Government Ombudsman’s office is quite literally next door :) So this time around, the running disputes with our Council landlords could be sorted out on the spot, without recourse to...

I don’t necessarily disagree with you Stupot – I just keep coming back to the unavoidable feeling that Coventry only needs one stadium, and that it’s more viable for all concerned with two high-profile clubs rather than one. Regarding Arabs and Russians – both those parts of the world are...

Incredibly pleased about RCC’s longer contract. For all the exploits of the loan players like Armstrong, watching them never gives me the same pleasure as seeing an actual CCFC player doing well. Can’t wait to see Maddison back in action.

I echo everyone’s thoughts on this sad news. Football may not be important at a time like this, but it was his chosen career and he was a very fine player. It speaks volumes that he seemed to influence others to perform well around him. RIP.

Fair enough - no point Anderson going to talk to them then. And no possibility that new investors will ever try to bring things together either.

btw can’t help wondering whether the new CEO is already on the naughty step for giving too much away. Fisher has rejoiced in keeping us in the dark on this for years, and the new boy may have inadvertently turned the lights on his first day? He might have to put an exercise book down the back...

Looks like the rugby club got permission in 2003 (which lapsed 5 years later) for “new rugby stadium incorporating three spectator stands, a business/leisure/function centre, new student residences, ancillary car parking, landscaping and access arrangements.”...

Trying to guess is nearly impossible, but I definitely like your logic Tony. I’d say it’s at least 27% more likely than Hill’s hover-boards anyway.

The prospect of a new stadium obviously helps as a negotiating tool with Wasps, but only if it’s credible. Rugby’s Local Plan deadline is rapidly approaching. Maybe they have asked for a better reason to allocate precious land than to compensate Mr. Fisher’s investors for their...

Just listened to the radio interview, and unless he’s a ridiculously good actor he appears to have a genuinely open mind about the Ricoh vs. new stadium question. So until proven otherwise I assume he has been brought in to look at everything with a fresh pair of eyes, and not as a yes man...

I don’t understand any of that :) But aren’t they still hoping for the “massive windfall” via. the courts? It seems to me that the straightforward and legitimate ways to acquire assets have all been spurned over the years, in favour of the obsessive pursuit of the windfall.

No problem with people getting out before the rush if they need to. But to repeat what others have said, I find it incredible that anyone could go halfway down the gangway and then just stand right in front of people to watch the action. Last night, quite a few people including kids near me...

It takes me far longer than that – but then again, I’m not one of those part-time supporters who leave before the match finishes ;)

It was a brilliant free kick, which will live long in my memory. But Joe is clearly nowhere near fit yet, and since we are trying to get promoted out of this league, we surely can’t carry passengers regardless of their past glories. He doesn’t look remotely ready to go back to the Premier...

You only have to swop Bugsy for Dave Phillips to get a 100% English line-up (including subs and management) for the FA Cup Final. Not something that’s ever likely to happen these days. Steve Ogrizovic Brian Borrows Greg Downs Lloyd McGrath Brian Kilcline (c) Trevor Peake Dave Bennett Micky...

You are not exaggerating - that's my recollection too!

Was Perdomo that Uruguayan bloke who played a couple of games in midfield in about 1990? He hit the pass of the century for Kevin MacDonald to score a goal. He set it off from the centre circle about 30 feet in the air towards one corner flag, and it did a 90 degree turn in mid-air to find...

I too went to the pre-season friendly at Leamington, and Ben Stevenson did a couple of superb things – but in general didn’t look remotely ready for League One. The video posted above proves he’s got amazing talent, but he needs more time before comparing him with the superb Maddison. I hope...

I can’t argue with most of your choices there Sid. We’ve both picked Bennett & Hutchison on the wings – I’d have given anything to see those two play in the same team! Several of your picks nearly made it into my list. It’s nice to see you’ve mentioned Neil Martin – a hugely underrated...
