    Jimmy hill statue

    You're basically moaning about the irrationality of football fans. Really? Have you ever been to the football? Have you ever stood there while thousands of people around you are going bat-shit crazy - the kind of crazy you never see outside of a football ground. Nothing else makes you behave...

    Jimmy hill statue

    I'm pretty sure he wasn't talking specifically about the flag incident and was making a general point about the symbolism of today and how it underlines just how far the club has fallen and how bleak it's future is - and for many people in Coventry, the football club means a great deal to them...

    Jimmy hill statue

    Not necessarily, there are lots of revenue opportunities that might present themselves even without the sort of bells and whistles the Ricoh has. There would be conference facilities, banqueting suites, function rooms for weddings, parties and that sort of thing. Presumably there would be a...

    Jimmy hill statue

    No, any move would have to be within the city (or at worst an edge of town site) for it to be viable. The talk of Bermuda Park is worrying, but I keep hearing about a site next to Coventry Airport so who knows.

    The future of CCFC has everything to do with Wasps - and our status has changed immeasurably. Previously we were tenants with the option of buy the stadium that was built for us (or at least a stake in it), now we are tenants with no prospect of ever owning it. We are to Wasps what they were...

    Who is responsible for the maintence of the Ricoh Arena?

    Funnily enough was talking about this yesterday. It's not just that repairs are needed, the external areas have never been so unkempt and scruffy - it never gets cleaned up. There is a beer can at the bottom of the steps that lead up to the Jag Hall (by the roundabout) that no word of a lie...

    Jimmy hill statue

    Absolutely staggering that some people seem to be reveling in this. To outsiders it must look like the City of Coventry has given up on Coventry City Football Club. Our future has never been this bleak and some people are having fun with it. I won't lose any sleep over the fact someone put a...

    Jimmy hill statue

    You think we're not all angry with SISU? Seriously? The difference is, we don't give this nonsense credibility by going up the there and waving a shitty yellow and black flag in support of a sporting franchise we have absolutely no connection with whatsoever (that's emotionally, historically...

    And if you want to gleefully mock the football club face to face with fans who have genuinely had the stuffing knocked out of them by this then you are welcome to try that too.

    Fuck off. Sorry, but just fuck off.

    Good Marketing again.

    For those that maintain that the Ricoh is our home and we belong there, I give you: The sooner we get out the better. Can't stomach the wretched place.

    CCFC Christmas jumper

    It's about the only thing in the shop though. In there this morning and was shocked at the offering. The busiest shopping day of the year and they have nothing to sell. Given that we are forever talking about income streams, and given that merchandising is just about our only income stream...

    Tomorrow's game last at home until 20th Dec!

    Unfortunately, I doubt the crowd will be much more than 8K. That seems to be our par crowd this season, like 10K was 2 seasons ago. Fleetwood will be better because of the pricing, and Chesterfield better still with it being our only Christmas fixture, which is often the biggest gate of the...

    Delusion?

    You really think a hedge fund would not have been capable of raising the finance to buy a facility like the Ricoh below its true value? They would have had investors jumping at that. But it was too late at that point. The offer they put on the table in late 2012 was more generous than that...

    Delusion?

    Uh? I've just posted reasons why Wasps will absolutely not want to do anything hostile to the club - we're their customers. Wasps will not be hostile - but it is irrelevant, because the issue at hand is that they have ownership of something that really ought to have been in the hands of the...
