Presumably the Telegraph is free to print whatever it wishes? I was under the impression that we have press freedom in the UK and the Telegraph is under no obligation to print Reid's ranting's.

No it isn't, we were the 11th best supported team in the division. 1 Liverpool 39582 2 Manchester United 39152 3 Arsenal 29910 4 Everton 27771 5 Tottenham Hotspur 25921 6 Newcastle United 21059 7 Chelsea 20118 8 West Ham United 19802 9 Sheffield Wednesday 19797 10 Nottingham Forest...

Our support was much higher than that in the late '90's. I'm afraid this "we were never supported well in the premiership" line is up there with "CCFC always had to win on the last day to stay up" in terms of mythology. Average CCFC attendances in the late 90's: 1995/96 18,907 1996/97 19,625...

Yep, all those clubs were in the exact same position as us.

From this website, its pretty good: http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/englandcontent.htm

Size of city doesn't always correlate. Leeds only get a bit more than what we were getting a few years ago, and the Leeds area has over twice the amount of people living in it compared to Coventry.

As recently as 15 years ago we were a much bigger club than Brum.

Its just a shame that the club deserted us and broke that loyalty isn't it?

Lack of desire to protest, acceptance of Wasps, and low attendances are all caused by just one party. And its those things that will kill the club. All parties may have done things wrong, but only one party is responsible.

Whether you agree with protests or not, the fact that so many can no longer be arsed to protest about anything is a very worrying sign.

Most footballers aren't role models anyway. As I said before Gary Madine isn't exactly someone I would want my kids looking up to.

I take most of your points there, but I can't agree with you on McDonald I'm afraid. I don't agree that he did anything worse than most young lads on a night out. Also, regarding mob rule, I wasn't saying that members of the public shouldnt be allowed an opinion, just that I really disliked...

I loved Civ 3 & 4, very addictive games. I hadn't even heard of this new civ game coming out.

Haven't tried this myself, but this looks like it should have everything you need to get a working copy. http://www.play-old-pc-games.com/2013/12/09/civilization-2/

My issue isn't whether he done it or not, I accept the verdict of the court. Its about who administers justice in this country. The law, or the mob? Ched Evans is a free man, entitled to the same things in life as the rest of us. Who, other than a court, has the right to interfere in his life...

Says here threats were made to club staff. Disgusting if true. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30727729

All this talk of role models, I wonder how many parents on here would buy their kids a city shirt with Madine on the back?

Looks likely that the attackers were French as well. Some similarities to the 7/7 attacks with that.

Who got themselves into a situation where the club was virtually bust? Who went cap in hand begging the council to build the stadium? Who signed the contract that they negotiated on?
