    Well I've just had a look on their website,and whether we believe them or not, they are reporting unprecedented traffic at their ticket office,in store and over the phone. It appears season ticket holders have to pay as well, so I very much doubt whether they will be giving many free tickets...

    Some fair points there, but for a club that's only been here just over 2 years to get crowds over 30,000 is pretty impressive, or maybe worrying is a better word. It doesn't appear that they will be struggling team wise in the near future, so probably they are going to be a successful for years...

    Your telling me, just found it so depressing Saturday,seeing what should have been our ground looking full,with a vibrant atmosphere,realising just how far we have now fallen. With Wasps doing so well, it just is rubbing salt into our wounds. Our fans with understandable reason don't wish to be...

    Well you probably know more than me, as my rugby support is for Coventry Rugby,further down the pyramid. My worry is that seemingly a lot of our fans,still cling to the vain hope that Wasps will go under, and unfortunately (well for us) they seem to be building a solid fan base, and with this...

    Unfortunately just lately I have developed a bit of a morbid fascination re Wasps,and on Saturday I watched about 15 minutes of their game on my laptop . A few observations, firstly they had a camera in the away end,and the Ricoh looks mightily impressive when full. its just a shame its full of...

    Is Silence Golden ?

    Don't disagree with a lot of that. Of course I understand its a big game, but in future its seems they are going to have a lot more big games. The fact remains they have been here just over 2 years, and they can now attract sell out crowds already. Go back 3 to 4 years ago, and if anyone on here...

    Is Silence Golden ?

    Heard the depressing news this morning that Wasps are expecting a near sell out for their game this weekend. A lot of fans on here clung to the notion that when they got here the fans were only going because of the novelty factor, or because they gave out free tickets. Well unfortunately the...

    I think Burge is alright

    Yes he did improve throughout the season. If Burge's parents were Fisher and Seppala ,he would hardly be more unpopular to some fans. And yet just over 12 months ago, most fans were singing the praise of Mowbray,saying how good it was to get a 'proper' manager in at last with huge experience...

    D Day Today

    The issue to me is if Robins had decided to keep Cooke even as just as a back up,and discard Burge,then surely it would have made better sense to play Cooke in the last few games.It just smacks of not doing joined up thinking.

    D Day Today

    Like a lot have said, disappointed that he has let Stokes go, always rated him and fully fit, is a championship level player to me.Unless he has real injury concerns, or has been offered better terms elsewhere it would seem a bad call. I presume he has kept Cooke and released Burge purely...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    No the EFL would kick us out because we would not be able to fulfil our fixtures,without a ground. You and others clearly believe another club would agree to share their ground with us, you maybe right,although I have my doubts. The worry is we maybe very shortly finding out whose view is right.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    You say another club will agree a ground share, which club do you think that will be then? Walsall I believe said no last time,Leicester not a hope, Birmingham doubtful why would they want their ground to be used a further 25 times. After last time I doubt if Northampton fans would want the...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Exactly. What if Wasps maybe 'encouraged' by CCC don't agree a new deal,where will we play? Can't see Birmingham,Walsall or even Northampton agreeing to a ground share,when they will surely realise the open fan hostility to such a move. The Butts is surely a non starter, is a Nuneaton ground...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    But if there was a takeover by Hoffman then he would still require a training ground/facility, for the club to continue. Hoffman could hardly buy the club, if SISU kept Ryton and the club had no where to train. So that is hardly a viable solution. In the same way it would seem inconceivable that...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    And you think SISU will pay for something like that, but plus of course there would be the small matter, they would need some land to build it on. Fisher has apparently spent the last 4 years looking for land for our mystical new stadium, so I wouldn't put too much faith in us getting any new...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    But if they sell Ryton, the club would have no where to train, no changing facilities, no gym facilities, and probably no medical facilities, it would be hard to imagine how the club could even pretend to be a professional football club anymore. Not sure we would get much for Willis, and there...

    CCFC worth - by lecturer in football finance Liverpool

    When you say 'our' strategy isn't working, we don't know that. What we do know is that it hasn't worked yet. Admittedly it may never work, but whose to say it may work over time. It maybe be a poor analogy, but Argentina didn't surrender when we bombed Port Stanley airfield, or when we sunk the...

    Letters from Mark Robins

    That would be a fair argument if SISU held all the cards,but clearly that is no longer the case. Yes the old adage that possession is 90% of the law still holds, but SISU face 2 factors they have no control over. One they have no control over their short term revenue streams, and indeed if seems...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    A lot continues to be made of this idea that 'we' didn't ask enough questions when SISU first arrived. Firstly i doubt any normal fan will get to ask any questions or have any meaningful influence on any takeover back then or now. Secondly asking questions back then would have made a single jot...

    Well at least that would be more honest.
