    Checkatrade - time to own up

    Warwick Uni students union are offering a ticket to Wasps v Toulouse for a tenner with free transport there and back! Tickets for all other games this season for a tenner too. A good way of generating interest but certainly a loss leader.

    To prevent false Wembley ticket claims amongst fans

    That's the trouble with this binary opposition between superfans and the glory-hunting 'most fickle fans in the country' in that anyone who hasn't so far attended a Checkatrade match is automatically publicly shamed. Having spent around £700 on season tickets and car park passes I have to date...

    Here's what we should all do

    I have been plucking up the courage to tell the wife to stop telling me what to do for years! Soon, one day soon...

    Nuneaton Town Takeover plus Ground

    Not sure about that, nor content with blowing Wasps at every opportunity they regularly regale us with the latest developments at, err, Birmingham Moseley RFC.

    Willis injured.

    Always happy to admit it when I'm wrong!

    Ben Stevenson - Brentford

    How annoying that someone who supported this club since 1969 in the top flight, saw European football once (would have been twice but for Heysel), saw us win the FA Cup, saw us signing Robbie Keane, Dion Dublin, Gary McAllister, Craig Bellamy and Mustapha Hadji, stood in crowds over 30,000...

    Holding Wasps to Account

    The CCFC/Cov RFC baked meats will coldly furnish forth the Wasps/CCC marriage table, gleefully reported by the Telegraph and BBC CWR

    Willis injured.

    Was injured even!

    Willis injured.

    Those that believed Willis were injured would probably also believe it if Fisher told them the cheque is in the post and that he won't come in their mouth.

    Holding Wasps to Account

    I am astonished at how lightly Wasps' part in our demise is taken. I wonder what the reaction would have been if, say Fulham, had slipped in on the blind side and taken over the ground built for us, then the academy intended for us. Yes I know SISU largely got what they deserved but CCFC were...

    Ben Stevenson - Brentford

    Shows what Sisu have achieved. We have gone from Ranson apparently wanting to resist a bid from Liverpool for Thomas, to having our young talent poached by the mighty, err, Brentford! Who'll be coming in and picking us off in a couple more years? Dynamo Long Itchington?

    Make Sure you have your tea before Bolton match

    What a bunch of arse! The most significant thing is that they aren't apologetically announcing that there's no food on Monday but that there won't be any for the rest of the season. That isn't the caterers making a cock up, that is the caterers telling the club to f off. I wonder why? It's...

    Match Thread Peterboro. v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 31st Dec

    As Big Wade Dooley was fond of saying (about Scotland) two chances today: slim and none, and Slim's left town.

    Will you be renewing/buying your season ticket next season

    Seems fairly clear to me. A pretty straightforward question to a group of people who are presumably fairly keen on Coventry City as they are on a fans forum, asking, in the light of the current situation, who is likely to renew or get a season ticket next year. Result pretty clear as well...

    Will you be renewing/buying your season ticket next season

    Have said on here before, have supported them since I was six in 1969. Got a season ticket at Cov RFC when we were taken hostage in Northampton. After the Gills game last year got three half season tickets for me and my boys. That went well! I had some faith in Mowbray so this year forked...

    Over a million in legal fees

    The point is that a million pounds invested in the team would have put a successful one on the pitch and in doing so increased crowds and so on. Before they went to Northampton Tim Fisher called me after I answered a questionnaire saying I wouldn't support it as it seemed they were holding the...

    Over a million in legal fees

    Spent so far by SISU according to the article by Neil McInnes in The Guardian on 12 October 2016 subject of a separate thread. Seems too significant a point to bury in that thread now. I presume it is a reasonably accurate figure. And for what exactly? To prove that the company SISU were...

    Playing SISU at their own game

    Well I'll look into it certainly. Won't be buying 3 season tickets and a car park pass next year that's for sure. Been going since 1969 but there comes a point where you can't stand by any more. The 'manager' selling Ryton is that point for me.

    Playing SISU at their own game

    What is the legality, I wonder, of season ticket holders who have direct debits, cancelling them on the basis that they no longer want the product? We surely don't owe them for matches not yet played and could defend any attempt to recover the outstanding balance on the grounds that their...
