Some very creative suggestions, but surely it doesn't need anything more complex than the old Oggy chant ... Bigi Bigi Bigi! Oi Oi Oi! (etc.)

Hardly anybody was wrong - in reality just a small number of people on here wrote him off, based on what I don't really know. A few mistakes? I'm really glad that Bigi is back playing in a Sky Blue shirt.

There’s a photo of SISU’s legal team in the CT article. Is it just my imagination, or are they arranged in a downward spiral?

Great haul of China is changing European football and up to 30 more billionaires are looking to invest in clubs Might be worth the Trust sellotaping some ads in post office windows in Shanghai? We can at least dream - I mean some of these people must have the clout to sweep up the whole lot...

Have we now reached it? Losing tamely to the mighty Fleetwood Town in front of three thousand people, next to bottom in the third division, injury-affected squad full of mostly raw young players, no home to call our own, Academy under threat, owners universally despised, minimal budget, fan...

I didn’t know too much about Robbie at the time we signed him, except that opinion was divided on him, and going along to the game was hoping we hadn’t blown £6 million on a duff player. Within the first couple of minutes it was obvious he was pure class, and his debut goes down as one of the...

Thanks for the screen shots Nick – where did you find them because I’m damned if I can. I mean, the season is well underway and (incredibly) the Ticket Prices page of the official website still just says “Matchday ticket prices for the 2016/17 season will be released soon”. And when I sign in...

Saw Harries play in a pre-season friendly last year, and it was obvious he was going to be a fine player. After last night’s performance I am even more convinced, and I too found myself comparing his style with John Stones and Gary Gillespie (who would definitely be in my all-time CCFC 11)...

I haven’t had time today to read all the stuff, but I took the trouble to watch Mr. Fisher’s speech to the Committee. I know people are saying that it wouldn’t have made any difference what he said – but his performance was utterly shambolic, inept and pointless. So much so that I find it hard...

Earlier on, I was largely persuaded by Fisher’s letter to the Council, and taken on its own it made perfect sense. But reading that correspondence from CSF, the mind boggles at how badly CCFC have handled all the important decisions and relationships. It’s mental. We seem to bend over...

Yes, when reading this letter I found myself agreeing with just about everything, although as someone pointed out, it could have been 90% shorter :) It’s one of the rare occasions when I feel that the owners of the club may actually be standing up and fighting for our legitimate interests...

I agree - I'm a bit surprised that CCFC haven't made any reference to the combined effect of the two developments i.e the Wasps plan and the swimming pool plan, which is separate and hasn't been submitted yet, but is in the public domain. Not sure about the procedures around that, but no doubt...

Although you can’t appeal against a permission, there is still a way for it to be reviewed. From the links OSB provided (post #6), if the Council give permission in the Green Belt, the Government (Secretary of State) will have 21 days to decide whether to call it in. If so, it would result in...

Sorry to labour the point Nick, but when you say you “will” be able to, I assume that means you can’t do it yet? And are we talking here about one-off match tickets, or packages? Last season, the packages suited us well, but it was damned hard work buying them (I remember a couple of abortive...

Thanks for that Nick, but I'm not sure what you are referring to. Is there a new system for buying online printing your own tickets, and is that for one-off tickets or packages? The info may or may not be on the website, I've given up with going round in circles on there. As Ashdown says...

Season tickets are no longer practical for our family, and match packages suit us well. But in keeping with the long-standing traditions of CCFC, the website, phone systems, email, shop and ticketing arrangements all seem designed specifically to frustrate. Not a “meltdown”, just a very weary...

So true. But it’s hard to persuade the average man in the street to come and watch The Sound of Music on your 8mm projector, when Spectre is showing at the Imax. Not trying to be disrespectful to CRFC, just pointing out the commercial reality. I wish it was different. The other commercial...

Yes NW, I was aware of CRFC when I wrote that. The problem in Coventry is that its two main clubs (football and rugby) have displayed a spectacular lack of success or business acumen for many decades. Take away the 87 cup win (please don’t!), and you have 40 years of bleak nothingness from...

There’s no reason at all why Coventry can’t host two top-class sports clubs – in fact two should be far more viable than one because of the potential for mutual benefits. So how many more years of tedious politics, court cases and financial jargon must there be before we get there? Now it’s...

If the Academy can keep going that’s good news. Does that only take into account the current Wasps planning application, or has it been confirmed that we will still be OK after the likely swimming pool development?
