Not having seen any of the players before I thought it was the under 18s playing. It reminds me of Poole from a number of years ago when they had to use school kids. They were tonked every single game. Trowbridge Town who were a bunch of cart horses just brushed them aside 10-1. If this team...

I am sure Appleton can do whatever he likes. He managed to sell a company with no apparent assets. If he wants 50% he could get it. Sorry Otium could. If the option was legally defunct someone would have said it by now. I would also point out that SISU could by now own the entire ground. CCC...

Perhaps it is time we acknowledged we are no longer in the prem and meeting these teams week in week out. The sky blue song was changed when we got in the first division. It originally had third division teams including Colchester United. Perhaps it should reflect current realities.

So Wasps coming to Cov might actually benefit Cov Rugby if thousands like you start going to games. Were you one of the 16000 who went to the Gillingham game and not the next home game?

Everyone keeps banging on about CCFC needing to own their own ground. That is nonsense. What they need to have is access to the real estate around the ground. The ground itself will never generate enough revenue to support the club and especially not the beer and pies. And that is just to make...

and hence why CCFC get 10K paying £22 a game and not 30K paying £10.

I haven't seen the team and can only guess at what is happening but it seems to me that SP was brought in specifically because he has gone on record about working with youngsters and bringing them through. ie to reduce the wage bill. It would appear that is exactly what he has done. A team of...

What almost everyone on this (and almost every other thread) fails to appreciate in their biased rantings is that CCFC will never own their own ground. SISU could/might and that is a very different proposition.

In my opinion the injury to Steve Froggatt was crucial.

You're not a politician are you. You are happy to hold your hands up to the council presenting a 'better' argument than SISU in the JR (and hence that SISUs case was valid but not sufficiently strong enough) but not to berating anyone on here who held the opinion that SISU were wrong and have...

Its horrible isn't it? Ostensibly this statement offers some hope for a change of attitude. Ultimately there are so many opportunities to make it mean something else that you cannot believe it. And given past history we are entitled to some scepticism. I haven't read the full 36 pages but...

The problem with ACL doing any deal with SISU is that they cannot trust that SISU will stick by their side of the bargain. Say they come to a deal to transfer the Ricoh over a period of time. They could not expect it to be a smooth process. It would be painful with SISU / Otium constantly trying...

The problem with the valuation of any football ground is that the possible market is one. Not something most valuers experience when valuing property. Would other people be interested in buying. Not when the tenant successfully decides whether they are going to pay rent or not. It makes it...

it is quite ridiculous to blame Roy Hodgson He has picked the younger players, he has played with more adventure than many managers before him - just as everyone (including all those expert sportswriters) wanted. What he hasn't got, which is what all his predecessors had, is a decent group of...

you can't blame the car park attendant for the club under-selling its asset

Milan has one stadium for two big teams

If this is true I wonder how or why we got to a situation where we don't have one. Or even much chance of getting one.

That's my point. They don't care about individual fans. You may disappear but if 'Coventry City' were in the prem other people will go. Of course the flip side of this is if we stay in Div 3 no one will go.

To be fair to SISU in this, football no longer has any affinity whatsoever with its roots. Many teams hardly have any players born in this country never mind in the town they play for. A large proportion of fans don't live in the town they support. This can especially be said of ManU where most...
