    my tickets for Vale, signal 1 stand?

    Same situation. After a bit of research I believe it is the new name for the away stand. A bit crap though as the ticket names just the stand and no turnstile numbers. Turn it over and the map shows no such stand and has turnstile numbers. Just checked on ticket bit of Port Vale offal and is...

    How many are complete stay-aways this season?

    Season ticket holder for most of last 40 years (only lapsed for one season when 2 kids were first born). I will not go to Northampton, unless someone can convince me the club had no alternative. It would be 140 miles round trip from here in Dudley, but I would do it. I went to Shrewsbury and...

    Women says the most stupid things

    You undermined your point with Women says. You either mean women say or woman says. You stupid boy. You not noticed over 20% of football fans are female?

    Take me home, Otium

    A bad review is better than no review? How about, In our Coventry homes We speak with an accent, exceedingly rare If you want an arena, an empty one's there. OR I wanna go home, I wanna go home Sixfields' a groundshare It's not our real home.

    "My view is that football or no football, not enough is happening at the Ricoh Arena"

    Most of us are unable to discuss any issue without apportionng blame. I blame the media. Oops

    Will you?

    No credit at all. We all know if genuine offers had come in players would go. Our owners have their own agenda and financial calculations. They have to have players, after all. TBF. We have always been a selling club to a degree. Pity the club is at such a low ebb and the squad so small there...

    Stuff ACL and the council I'm fed up

    Sorry to rain on your parade but the answer is one word: DEBT. If we build a new stadium we have to borrow money or have new investors and, annoyingly, they expect to be paid back with interest. So most of the revenue streams go into servicing the debt. We also have to pay all the bills to...

    Maybe you should choose friends more carefully? That is the most pathetic excuse I have ever heard.

    NOPM to ACL Idea

    Since HMRC also voted against the CVA should we all stop paying all our taxes, refuse to buy fuel because of the duty, refuse to buy alcohol or cigarettes which have duty on, any goods which have VAT etc? ACL had to pursue a creditor, legally bound to do so. SISU did not have to take the club...

    Preston ticket sales

    The issue should not be what the attendance is at Sixfields but what it could have been at the Ricoh for the same fixture. sixfields = 3,000 Ricoh = 11,500 Sixfields = 3,500 Ricoh = 12, 500. See what I'm doing here? Every small rise at Sixfields would mean a much bigger rise at the...

    Preston ticket sales

    Mustang, easterngreen and northeast, Please understand that NOPM is not, primarily, about trying to force SISU out by starving them of money. It is about, we will not watch home games outside Coventry. Do you see the difference? You are right that the first one may not "work" You are wrong...

    Show me the NOPM campaign is working...

    FWIW I think SISU will move the club to wherever they can do a deal that keeps the club alive. They didn't PLAN to move to Northampton, it was the nearest place that would have them. If they get a better offer they will go somewhere else in 3 years. If not, we will be homeless in 5 years and...

    Show me the NOPM campaign is working...

    Just to reply to the Dudley suggestion ... where I live. Dudley has Wolves, WBA, Walsall & Villa a stone's throw outside the borough. Look on a map. Blues & Kidderminster are close too. Everyone here supports those teams.

    Show me the NOPM campaign is working...

    Mustang, it really is very simple: The owners cannot do anything without fans. They need our money. They are not getting my money until they return the club to Coventry. That's it. They must return or sell or liquidate. We cannot second guess their plans or how things will pan out. We can...
