    Article in the Sun

    Thing is Nick, I am as confused as anyone. If this had been a guy down the pub who knows somebody who knows somebody, I'd have said nothing. But these people are very well placed and are people I know very well. I argued the toss, citing all the stuff in the media, making the sames points...

    Do wasps need CCFC?

    Do people actually believe the club is only worth £100K a year to Wasps? There are financial contributions way beyond that. That aside though, the simple fact is that more people will have attended the Ricoh to watch CCFC this season than Wasps. This is owing to the fact that the football...

    Sunderland forum

    Nobody is that arsed, it's just amusing and all a bit odd. Why would we be talking about Notts County in 25 years? We won't be. That was just tongue-in-cheek banter that will fade into memory very quickly and any grievance is theirs anyway. When you have a middle-aged knuckle-dragger...

    Peterboro Away

    We've been allocated the East Stand for this game which is behind the goal.

    Breaking news

    The thing is, I've been told by two people very close to all this that a deal for up to 5 years is already done. Everything we are seeing now is about saving face and about all sides not wanting to be seen to have backed down. Just get on and announce it so that all the hand-wringing can stop.

    Football Special Trains to Return

    They have been for about 3 seasons now. Only one an hour though.

    Match Thread Bradford City vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 23rd Oct

    We need to work on our game management, but aside from that it was pretty dominant. Four goals, 2 sitters missed and a series of half chances. Bradford's goals came out of nothing, and for a team playing at home throwing everything at us to get back into the game they didn't create much. Can't...

    The boat/James

    Had a great time. Some of the drinks we got were free, bought a few more, no big deal. So 44 quid for transport there and back, a 3 hour boat trip on the Thames and 3 free beers ain't bad value. Don't go on the FB page very often and reading some of the abuse being dished out I realise why.

    Sunderland at home

    Don't really get the angst over the attendance next week. I'd love there to be a big turn out, don't understand why peolpe wouldn't go, but then I think that every week. It won't be that great, because the truth is it isn't a particularly big game. They'll be fewer city fans than there were...

    Sunderland at home

    It hasn't had that much effect. 5000 takes them all the way up to the small barrier in block 12, the same as was given to Chelsea in the fall cup (5200), so a couple of hundred lost I'd say. That's about as much as we can give now. In the early Ricoh days away fans could also have block 13 and...

    Block 15 and 16 Reopened for Sunderland

    What did you expect from it? My wife gave out a lot of tickets at her school and said the kids were all bouncing, before and after. That sort of stuff is priceless. I am sure they will do it again at some point this season, and they should, perhaps reviewing the process as it wasn't perfect...

    Block 15 and 16 Reopened for Sunderland

    Has that been officially announced? Got a feeling it's just a system glitch.

    Planned trouble for Sunderland game?

    All this fuss because Sunderland are bringing 4800. So what. Anyone would think they're breaking some sort of record. Their average away following last season was 1700, yet everywhere I look it's billy big bollocks stuff from them. Great numbers sure, but driven by that drop down a league, we're...

    Surprised by the Doyle comments Otis. I thought he was outstanding today. Funny how people see things so differently!

    Sunderland at home

    They won't get that many because the maximum number of away fans is now capped at 5000. Second point, we have 6500 season ticket holders. Even allowing for a few no shows, are you saying we won't sell a single ticket between one month ago when they went on sale and the end of next month? C'mon.

    Security a bit over the top?

    This policy in blocks 14-16 (which I know is not of the club's making) is senseless. Block 16 is so flat compared to last season. Checking tickets is one thing, but surely, by not allowing people to buy tickets in this part of the ground, you are making it more likely that people are going to...

    Where do i sit?

    Just go to the ticket office before the game and as a match package holder you can sit in 14-16.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Plymouth Argyle Match Thread - Saturday 18th Aug

    No chance of only 8000. It will be down on opening day, as it was for the second home fixture last season (after back to back league wins), so the 'losses' comment isn't really valid. An extended bad run and of course crowds will decline, but it won't impact tomorrow which will be 10K+.

    It's the price. 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 all more expensive and 23 is families only.

    Things are changing - nothing stays the same

    Yesterday people were moaning about low density housing on greenfield in Kerseley. Today they are moaning about a high-density city centre brownfield development. I guess what people really want is less people. Seems like a high-quality residential scheme, the sort of thing you see in cities up...
