    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    I'm not sorry really. I'd just got my Like-Post ratio up to 1.4 likes per post and don't want to risk alienating posters, who may like my posts in the future, by appearing to be on either side of a 'politics' thread. I was just beating a hasty retreat!

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    I've broken my golden football forum rule today, about not engaging in the non-footy stuff. I would like to humbly apologise to everyone involved.

    Who was mainly to blame for our relegation from League 1

    In a moment of rare weakness last week, I happened to click on one of the fan picked 'best in your lifetime CCFC XIs' they've been running on the offal and the poor lad had picked Reice Charles-Cook as his keeper. He was a teenager tbf but still! He must have seen at least one of Westwood...

    Who was mainly to blame for our relegation from League 1

    Suspect that was Mowbray's decision but based on a shitty SISU budget and was eventually a key learning point when they brought Robins in.

    I'd love a bit of council screwage along the way, but not at the expense of CCFC getting a ground. I hope we're able to manage both. I also think CCC will do whatever is in their powers to make this process as difficult as possible, hopefully that's very little though given the circumstances...

    Cheers. Just sicked up a bit of my lunch at the thought of Tim Fisher rubbing aromatic oil all over Slade.

    Who was mainly to blame for our relegation from League 1

    Mowbray's record from Jan 1st 2016 to his resignation 10 games into the season on 28th September 2016: P32: W7 D10 L15. 22% win ratio and that includes the 4 wins at the end of the 2015/2016 season when the season was already over and we couldn't make the play offs anymore, as well as 2...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Your reasons for believing in the stadium mk II so far have been: You're sweeping everything that has ever happened before under the carpet. Mark Robins has been allowed some autonomy in the last 3 seasons so things have improved. Tim Fisher didn't make the announcement. You can't see what...

    Who was mainly to blame for our relegation from League 1

    Some Sky Blue tinted specs there. We were still 11 points adrift at the end of the season!

    Who was mainly to blame for our relegation from League 1

    Mowbray>Kelvin Wilson>Slade>Venus and nothing to do with Robins.

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    There's a Czech documentary movie called 'Czech Dream' that was made 18 years ago now. Sometimes I'm reminded of the whole stadium debacle. A couple of Czech guys wanted to demonstrate the post-communist growth of marketing, consumerism and greed in the country, so they built the front of a...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Any idea of the general chronology of these types of builds and what steps along the way do require formal requests/submission to WDC? I would have thought that could give us a rough idea of the sort of time CCC or the fans could be kept in the dark for? Or perhaps I'm being naive and there are...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Fair enough but i think you are at one end of an extreme spectrum by being willing to take that leap of faith! :) I don't think it would be at all embarrassing for the Uni. If anything they can actually claim the moral highground of having been prepared to allow their land to be used to get...

    Must be my memory playing tricks then - I'm probably mixing it up with the FA Cup games. That made me feel like I lost a lot of matches last season because of needing replays with Ipswich, Bristol and Birmingham!

    Julien Dacosta - CONFIRMED

    Saturday should be another clue! Given Drysdale played well, if McFadzean is fit to play (I didn't see a reason why he wasn't involved but saw him on the training vids) then i'd expect him to slot in at CB and Pask to move over to RWB

    Julien Dacosta - CONFIRMED

    Gives over a month for Pask to work on the role in training though.

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    2 questions flipped: If the club pull out/fail to commit to the new stadium, for any reason, what do the Uni have to lose from the initial announcement that they were planning for a partnership with the club? And, how long are you prepared to wait for more details/information?

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Why do we need to draw a line under what has happened and just see what happens though? It sounds very passive. If we were playing at the Ricoh on a short to medium term rent deal then we could afford a more laid-back approach to the new stadium. However, given our short term route back to the...
