    Otis' open letter

    Otis is wrong, both in fact and in law. This will now go before three very senior dwarves.

    Open letter from Joy and Tim

    I would take this with about three shovels of salt. It is indeed about time that SISU got real, abandoned their failed shenanigans and either talk or slink away but everything they do is calculated. They have said before that they acknowledge their communication with supporters has been...

    Acl to comment on Ricoh arena position

    It is time now for the Football League to act. To be fair to them last year they were backed into a corner with little time to think before the season started. They probably took the view that the worst thing that could happen for Coventry City and it's supporters would be being unable to...

    Record numbers expected at Saturday's march

    I think it's time to stop recycling the SISU-suiting line that suggests 'all sides' are somehow equally culpable. Richard Keough's reported comments were a good example, hinting that everyone was acting childishly and needed to grow up and talk. Read Justice Hickinbottom's analysis. There...

    Have Sky, Times, Guardian, BBC been informed of the march?

    I'll tell you what the March achieves. It denies SISU the opportunity to insinuate that they are acting in the best interests of Coventry City Football Club. That's the line they would love to peddle. If several thousand supporters attended Sixfields they would break the land speed record...

    Plus ça Change: The High Court Damning Of Coventry City

    I am a little bemused by the suggestion, also repeated elsewhere, that SISU desperately attempted to return the club to the premier league. It has been separately asserted that they spent around 40/50 million on this failed quest. Well it didn't seem like it at the time! Didn't Ranson accuse...

    Buying a Season Ticket

    Grendel, you seem impressed that the attendances at Sixfields are higher than at The Butts. Only just actually and rugby doesn't tend to attract much in the way of away support. I suspect that the number of Coventry people at both is quite similar. Some achievement that by SISU.

    Email From Football League

    Had the same stock response from them this week after I emailed urging them in the light of the judgement to reflect that they were being taken for fools by SISU and that the overwhelming majority of fans wanted nothing to do with them. Knew this would be the case but surely there comes a point...

    Bunch of Hypocrites!

    You'll find that the correct spelling is 'spectacles'. Hope that helps.

    Bunch of Hypocrites!

    Hypocrisy is something blithely bandied about by people trying to defend the indefensible. It actually means according to the Oxford dictionary the practice of pretending to have higher standards or nobler beliefs than is the case. So preferring Highfield Rd to The Ricoh and The Ricoh to...

    Buying a Season Ticket

    Got a season ticket at The Butts last year, thoroughly enjoyed it and renewed. Under 16s go free, lovely atmosphere, can take your beer into the stand, no arseholes and you get to cheer a Cov team in Cov. Not a bad protest idea either, large numbers of supporters switching to the rugby team...

    /what us fans need to know What if......

    Two scenarios 1. Somehow CCFC in its current guise returns to The Ricoh. First game back would be a massive event, a crowd of at least 15,000 and probably a lot more. 2. CCFC is killed by SISU and a Phoenix club plays it's first game at the Ricoh as a new Coventry club representing the...

    Coventry City owners Sisu found to have ‘seriously mismanaged’ club

    David Conn is wrong and his article is very unfortunate. I am confident that when the same facts are reviewed by three very senior journalists they will come up with the completely opposite conclusions.

    What happens next when Sisu appeal?

    Pissing in the wind. Judges always have one eye on the possibility of appeal before delivering their initial judgement. There never was a case here and the only surprise was that the second judge involved allowed it to go to a hearing. I expect J Hickinbottom may have something to say to...

    whats everyone doing then ?

    Supporter since 1969. Season ticket holder for years. Have both met and spoken on the phone with Tim Fisher. Will never set foot in Sixfields unless as an away supporter of Cov. My reasons? SISU state they had no choice but to move the club away from Coventry - utter lie SISU state they...

    Sandra Garlick on radio stadium

    How can this consultation committee make any meaningful decisions if they don't know the budget for the stadium? Either they know and won't tell anyone or more likely they haven't got the foggiest. They could make all sorts of fancy decisions only to be told that it won't work at that location...

    Who Cares

    Agree it is such a sad time. Went to my first game in 1969 aged 6 with my now departed Dad. Regular in the West End in the thrilling 70s. Life has always been up and down linked to City's fortunes. Indeed I used to think we were usually crap back then but how I would swap these days for...

    We lost 4-0. I had a great day out. My videos.

    Was umming and aahing about Notts County away. Went there last year but so far this year only match is MK away. Call me a glory hunting bandwagon jumper if you like ( on the other hand I have been going home and away since 1969 - just refuse to acquiesce to my club being taken hostage as part...
