Ah, I know where you mean now. Interesting.

Not necessarily. You don't need all those bells and whistles (indoor exhibition space etc) for it to be a viable venue for a football club. How many successful clubs out there with stadiums of 20K-30K capacity have the facilities the Ricoh does? If you look at something like the Madejski - it...

There is already outline planning permission for a new development on that site. Won't be there. I have heard rumours about land around Pro Logis near Kerseley though, although I suspect that is further from the city centre than the Ricoh. Who said it was closer to the city centre anyway? I...

Quite possibly, but I think two venues could co-exist. It very much depends on what they built, and if they were to try to build something to rival the Ricoh then I think it would fail. Concentrate on building a venue for the football club first and foremost, something similar to what they...

Here's a question though. Should ACL agree to a temporary rent agreement (assuming the terms are acceptable to them) on the understanding that the club will remain there only while they build a new venue? That would pose a dilemma for them I guess. To not agree, and the door seemingly closes...

Am I the only one who doesn't give a shit?

You have to remember, these are people who think that "your mum's your dad, your dad's your mum" makes sense. There isn't much hope really. It's like those people who try to start the Sky Bue Song but miss off the first line. I've no idea how people cannot know the words to that, we sing it...

I'll always remember John Williams for the chant "Johnny Williams - he's so fast it's unbelievable". Right up there with 'ooh Pe-ter Bill-ing' that one.

Here you go, some footage from that game: http://oldcoventryonfilm.vidmeup.com/view?q=4f2fb65886392.flv

Richard Shaw was always weirdly popular with the happy-clappy types. Very overrated player if you ask me.

Colonel Mustard in the study with a candlestick.

Scored one great goal at QPR and an overhead-kick against Grimsby in a league cup game, but other than that looked less like a professional footballer than pretty much anyone I've seen. Just goes to show, scoring goals in Scotland doesn't mean anything.

Yeah, even looking at the image it doesn't look wide enough. The length is probably OK, but as the football and speedway seasons overlap it probably wouldn't be feasible to accommodate both. There is quite a wide run off area though (see below). Not sure where I'm going with this, but cannot...

For me, the best player I have seen in a City shirt. Proper legend.

I'm not sure the Cardiff comparison is relevant - the area they have to work with there is far smaller than what is available at Brandon. Like I say, perhaps there isn't enough space inside the track. My suspicion is that it is probably just too small - although I think Odsal Stadium was once...

No, but significantly more than 500-1000. They're bound to shift a good few at Xmas. Although we are both guessing I suppose.

Shrewsbury at home moved back 24 hours; announcements today that away coaches will leave from White St this season - it doesn't seem as though everything has been put on hold. Is this all part of the smoke and mirrors or just business as usual? I was quite hopeful yesterday, but starting to...

I don't know if the area inside the track is big enough for a pitch, but say it is, what would stop them moving to Brandon as early as next season - before any development work? It holds what, 7000, and would easily be passed by the FL. I don't know if it would constitute change of use, but I...

There are a couple short of 400 seats now showing as sold. You do wonder if some seats are actually sold or unavailable because they have been reserved and taken off sale. Strange that people are buying now. Even if I were going to buy one (which I'm not) I'd wait until after the outcome of...

Behave yourself. Not everyone could make it - doesn't mean they don't care. People protest about issues all the time, but nobody suggests that it is only the people who take to the streets that care about those particular issues. Some people were working, some on holiday, some exiled, others...
