    Transfer Shouts

    We have Dabo, Burroughs and Eccles. Burroughs went out on loan last season and if he has a future at the club there has to be a point at which we trust him to step in if needed. As for Eccles he is being dismissed as an option on the basis of one poor performance, prior to which he had always...

    Kevin Maton

    Council website says there is a by election for the Sherbourne Ward on 22nd September. Deadline for registering an interest in standing is 25 August if you fancy a dry run at it @Sky Blue Pete ;)

    Kevin Maton

    In this instance I completely disagree. The Council members from both major parties form a cozy club and seem in it together in regards of their support of Wasps. If there are elected members prepared to do the right thing then fine leave them alone, but this is about Maton who has clearly...

    Good Old Highfield Road

    It also looks like the car park behind it was a park or playing field of some kind.

    Kevin Maton

    I said 'independent' 😂 Grendel is clearly a Tory so Maton's supporters would simply say it was a backdoor ploy to bring in a Tory, so in this instance if an 'independent' couldn't be found it would probably be better to have a Labour leaning candidate - say Schmee or Sky Blue Dreamer for...

    Kevin Maton

    I've banged on about this before & not sure when he will next stand for election, but surely it would be worth putting up an independent pro CCFC/ anti Maton single issue candidate based on this back history (and any others like him whatever their party affiliation) to get him off the council...

    If its bring your own picnic, a selection of rotten eggs and tomatoes should do the trick :ROFLMAO:

    Never a dull moment at CCFC

    No I don't. I think these events have drained a lot of optimism from the supporters. A mid week game against Preston will not be anywhere near 23,000, particularly if we don't get a result at Hull in between times.

    Never a dull moment at CCFC

    The Rotherham game was looking like a crowd of at least 23,000, maybe more. It will be nowhere near that when it is eventually played. That will have cost us quite a bit on its own.

    Will we leave Cov again?

    How can we play elsewhere when the ITK's have already told us that we are struggling financially? We surely couldn't survive a season at Birmingham on 6,000 crowds and huge rental costs!

    Crowdfunding?

    Why should CCFC fans raise funds for the pitch when Wasps will still be playing rugby on it, and they will undoubtedly schedule more concerts on it next Summer?

    Gyökeres Bids

    His value is not what you or I think, sky blue glasses or not. As well as his proven ability, it is about potential, and ultimately how keen the buyer is and whether there is competition to buy, as well as how much we want to sell. In a scenario where we don't want to sell then any fee is...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Carabao Cup: Coventry City vs Bristol City Match Thread - Wednesday 10th Aug

    Early doors but reading some of this it looks like Eccles could be an early candidate to be a 'favourite' for the boo boys this season.

    CBS issues

    Absolutely gutted at this. Season has just started and its a complete momentum killer on the pitch. At a time when the ITK's are saying we're desperately short of money, this will also be a big blow to our immediate cash flow off the pitch however. With it looking like a fantastic day tomorrow...

    Stop the clock

    No, blocking someone when you have no intention of playing the ball is. To be honest its not so much the player 'in possession' I'm that bothered about, but more the secondary player who acts as a blocking screen to prevent players easily getting to the man 'in possession'. That to me is a foul.

    Fabio Tavares

    The trouble is that his pace offers us something off the bench that could prove useful to us now. Sending him off on loan takes that option away from us. We have already lost O'Hares skill set for the first half of the season by the look of it, so why voluntarily take another different option...

    Stop the clock

    The ball in the corner thing is still there for the ref to deal with in the existing rules. Most of the time the player protecting the ball has no intention of playing it. Likewise there is normally an additional team mate nearby solely acting as a blocker. It is to all intents deliberate...

    Team for Sunday

    Barring any late injuries I think the only change in the starting XI will be Dabo for Eccles.

    Are you bothering next week?

    I don't want us to play our best XI in this game, as it would give Millwall a fitness edge over us going into the following weekend game, and to me that match is far more important. Its also good to get game time into the squad in general, win, lose or draw. Not sure what the ticket prices were...

    Stop the clock

    This would eliminate the preceived gain from certain types of timewasting in relation to pissing around over corners, throw ins, free kicks, injuries & substitutions, whereby the time refs add on currently comes to nowhere near the actual time wasted. It won't however eliminate gamesmanship...
