Not sure I necessarily agree about Hoffman. He was hardly hands-on during his time on the board, and his appointment to it coincided with him taking the job on at Northern Rock - which was in a terrible state when he went there, so hardly a part-time undertaking. Not sure how much of a...

Senior roles at Barclays, Northern Rock and now CEO of Hastings Insurance iirc. Clearly successful and well connected, but I doubt he has the personal wealth to launch a bid on his own, but that's never really been on the cards. Whether these rumours are true or not, it wouldn't surprise me if...

Believe so. Mate just sent a text. He's in the World's End, and says a lot of city out and about around Camden Town. Gutted I couldn't go down today - have a few for me!

Get yourselves to Camden boys, sounds like it's lively!

Why would you go to Trafalgar Square? There's nothing there (pub wise). Covent Garden or Camden fine. In fact a mate just text from a pub in Camden and it's rocking. There are thousands down there tonight, but the idea everyone was going to get together in one place when there is a pub on...

It's London. There's a million places to go. Everyone will be spread out and doing their own thing. Don't get Trafalgar Square, nothing to do other than stand about drinking a warm beer from a can. Leave that to the Scots.

They're just releasing a few seats here and there. The odd return and small areas that might have been reserved for whatever reason. There are only 25 seats in the lower tier available - which will sell, and if they don't there won't be large gaps - plus we have sold 3 blocks of the additional...

Been a nightmare getting on to buy tickets since the announcement earlier. Sat in a queue for ages. Not sure if its a late rush or a glitch.

Many, but the good work he does seems to go unnoticed. There was a passage of play today, early in the 2nd half I think, when he was outstanding. He broke up play, there was a vital tackle, he was neat and tidy with the ball, played a couple of good forward passes into feet and covered a huge...

Bigi had a good game today imo. Not a MOTM performance sure, there were a number ahead of him, but I am sure people can look beyond the odd stray pass when assessing his performance? He sees a lot of the ball, so of course he will give it away from time to time. This isn't bloody Barcelona. His...

Feel like an away fan today. It's all a bit depressing. 20 mins to get served in the casino don't help.

Yeah, and probably before the offices next to the old college, so it would certainly need looking at again.

The front rows of those blocks in the upper tier you mention were originally not released for sale for some reason. I think 248 relates to some of the seats that were reserved by the club - possibly for staff, player families etc. and those unsold have been released. The others dotted around...

Could be wrong, but isn't FFP based on revenues in previous seasons? After tomorrow our average will be around 9K which based on league 2 this season would make us the second best supported club. It is a reasonable assumption that we COULD have a top 8 budget. Support will plummet next season...

The quote from Jon Sharp in May 2016 was: "The current lease has planning permission for a 13,000 seater stadium, this could be easily replicated and expanded. This is from when the stadium was first built, 11 years ago. The initial study indicated that a ground holding as many as 25K could...

Well, quite. SISU's inability to deliver on anything makes it all very unlikely. The key point though, in the context of the thread and wider discussion on capacity, is that the 25K feasibility is simply being repeated by the club. It was CRFC who declared it is feasible based on a study they...

From the SCG minutes from May 2016 (at which Jon Sharp was present). It seems that the 25K possibility came from a study undertaken when the stadium was first built 11 (now 12) years ago: Butts Park Arena Proposals Jon Sharp (JSH), Chairman of Coventry RFC, introduced himself to the group and...

I don't believe it is made up - I think the 25K figure was first mentioned when this possibility first came up a year or so ago. In fact, I think it was included in the minutes of an SCG meeting where somebody from the rugby club was in attendance (or there was meeting at which a CRFC...

Putting aside all the politics, on a technical level, 25,000 is possible. I was speaking to an architect who is also a city fan, and he said it is feasible, but it would require a walkway adjacent to the railway line to create another access point to Albany Road. The Butts already has planning...

Just 1 and a bit blocks left. Be sold out by lunch time i would think.
