I confess I am becoming very impatient, and I cannot stand the thought of this nonsense continuing into next season. Given that, I would support the idea of a sale to SISU if certain safeguards could be put in place - as the lesser of two evils (and our exile in Northampton is positively...

It is somewhat counter-intuitive, given that some are adamant that the boycott is hurting, that they did not offload anyone and are extending the contracts of key players. If we get to the end of the next transfer window not having offloaded any players of value, then it would suggest to me at...

This is a very good point, and one that is forgotten. SISU can easily make up for any shortfall in their finances by offloading the likes of Wilson, Christie, Fleck and Thomas in January, so they have got that up their sleeve if they need it. Given that fact, and also that you do not want to...

My issue with NOPM is not that it won't work, it is that it will not work quickly. We all say we want CCFC back in Coventry asap, but the quickest route to that outcome has always been, and remains, a sale of the Ricoh to SISU. Of course the loss of revenue will hurt, but at a minimum I expect...

BTW, anyone wishing to track away numbers can do so at this website: http://the72.co.uk/away-team-followings-week-9/

Wolves tickets seen to be selling well already which is encouraging, and it appears we have down the side at Walsall again. Important we keep taking big numbers away to send out a message. Not sure they'll be much more than 800 at Stevenage though, but perhaps to be expected given the fact we...

I think you only need look at away games and the passion of the fans to realise this is still very much our club and not beyond saving by any stretch.

A lot has been said in the early games about the lack of expectation from the crowd and how that lack of pressure may have helped the younger players - and there was perhaps an element of truth in that. Today we saw the flip side of that - because when the team needed a lift, even just a hearty...

Fair enough. I'm not one of those who feels any animosity towards those that choose to protest in that way. I quite admire people who travel all that way to stand in all weathers that far from the action (which you can't see for the most part). Takes a lot of dedication does that.

You are bonkers. I like that I think.

I don't, I'm talking about the feeling before the game in the pub and the togetherness in the stands - it's the only time we feel like a proper club nowadays. A win is always welcome obviously!

Of course, if somebody abuses you it is human nature to have a go back. The difference here was that a few people chose to have a go at random people leaving the ground, people who had not said a word to them. This was the first time people on the hill have aimed abuse at people leaving the...

Indeed. It was odd today in a way. Previous games there has been a feeling that we are a big city football club that are going through the mill and that we just have to put up with this silliness for a few more weeks, while the people with the power to change things get their heads out of...

In truth, the atmosphere has been non-existant. It was OK(ish) for Preston, and there was a positive mood and a bit of noise against Colchester - but otherwise nothing and today was shocking. People who go and say otherwise are kidding themselves.

Realistically, a new club would probably have to start at a local non-league ground, or BP at a push. The alternative is that a wealthy backer would finance the club through those difficult years, but then we would be back to the club being subsidised by its owner, and surely we'd want to avoid...

I'm not sure anyone is saying that. Obviously the car incident would have wound them up, but to start yelling 'scab' at people as they then left is not big and clever, and to be fair, even regular hill protesters have said they were embarrassed. A sorry episode all round really.

Or any variations on that theme, such as 'you're shit aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah' Close thread, we have a winner :D

I see what you are saying, and you'll never take everyone with you, but there certainly a lot of people like myself who would come on board with other forms of protest. I thought the march was excellent and sent out the right message, but I don't know how we can rival that. I'm not exactly...

If it happens, I will happily buy you a beer.

I think the time has come for a mass protest that everyone can get behind - something like the march in the summer which brought everyone together. No idea what that could be though. As an aside, I saw a couple of people with red and green bar scarves today. I like that idea, although I know...
