Was Nigel Winterburn from round here?

Yeah I'd agree that a key would be really, really useful. I use the old 'Champ Manager' approach where players start at 6 and therefore anything below that is a 'bad' game and 6 is basically bang average (and likely to get you dropped). Ratings of 5 indicate having had a notably poor game...

I think it's understandable to be concerned what they think given their status as landlords to CCFC as it could impact on their approach to extending our tenancy. This isn't the same as saying they're right to boot us out, it's just a major source of concern to a lot of people I think.

You're right, i'm definitely not! Im clearly a bit guilty of basing that post on my experience since the 90s. I supose the 'well supported' element would have to be looked at relatively, were the crowds in 67 generally amongst the top clubs at that time?

I think 10-11,000 is disappointing if you consider the potential we should have. However it's probably not bad for the league we are in and the level of ill feeling the owners have generated within the city. We have never been a well supported club (given the size of the city) and I think that...

Burge - 8 saved well when called upon and generally looked solid Thompson - 6 played well considering I think he looks more of a centre-half than fullback. Few errors but not much going forward either. Willis - 8 Dominant throughout and made some crucial interventions at times Davies - 6 Solid...

For a moment I thought Coventry City legend Fabien Debec was on his way back.

Burge - 6 Not a huge amount to do but didn't make any major errors Brown - 6 Seems wildly inconsistent. He made some good last ditch tackles/blocks today but often these came about as he was out of position or behind play. Willis - 8 Did make a few glaring errors in the opposition's penalty area...

I can't see the present owners plumping for the civic colours any time soon! Personally i'd like a reboot of the old purple and yellow monstrosities we've had in the past.

The first booking for 'simulation' looks a bit weird, the guy just throws himself into a gambol and gets back up!

Phew!

He hit an absolute piledriver into one of the Wycombe defenders at the weekend, I was surprised not to hear splintering bones as it cannoned away.

I feel she probably has the greater justification!

I can see why Wasps would refuse to have us there but i think there are two other ways they could look at it (hopefully). CCFC brings income and there is no other viable tenant in the area. Turfing us out would likely have no bearing on a SISU decision to continue legals or not. If they were...

This is pretty much exactly how i felt/feel. I've never liked them since that tie!

Not so much a great story but i have a vivid recollection of staying up to 'watch' on Ceefax the penalty shootout we had with Sheffield United (FA Cup 97/98 i think it was).

If they do then id have serious doubts about us playing at the Ricoh next season.

I wonder what the 'consequential submissions' under consideration are. Would SISU be likely to have lodged a request to appeal in advance? It also says 'parties' suggesting it may be both sides making submissions.

He was alright but another one of those players that seemed better against us than for us (not as extreme as Michael McIndoe though). The name comes from something i overheard on the old West Terrace that just stuck with me, there wasn't much razzle and dazzle going on with him that day!

There's plenty of hot air left in old Fishface yet I reckon. The 'Plan A' statement could just be a way of setting up the excuse that they wanted to stay there all along but the nasty landlords won't let them. It reminds me of his statement that the ground share at The Butts was 'on in terms of...
