    New Ground - Safe Standing

    I know what you mean about being sucked in to a pretence. Everything Fisher has said about a new stadium has been an embarrassment to himself and to CCFC (although he never seems to mind that, and of course it has suited his wider purpose). However, the new guy doesn’t seem like the kind of...

    New Ground - Safe Standing

    Unfortunately, you combined your great point about safe standing with a reference to the new stadium, which can be like a red rag to a bull. Still, you didn’t deserve the outright abuse you got (before the worst of it was removed).

    New Ground - Safe Standing

    I’ll assume that you’re a genuine poster, as I have no reason to believe otherwise. In which case, the responses you’ve had so far are an absolute disgrace. Cheers for posting, it’s an interesting question and definitely to be taken on board if the stadium idea ever turns out to be more than...

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    Here are two links which might help to clarify all these freehold/leasehold questions, or (more likely) just start another series of abusive arguments. These confirm my recollection i.e. that SISU made clear that they were OK with a long lease, but that it had to be unencumbered / unfettered...

    telegraph report fulham want mowbray

    Seriously, I think you are making far too much of this. When there are exciting or controversial things in football matches, I’ll most likely chat about them with my family and friends. It’s a spontaneous thing and then it’s gone. I rarely feel any desire to express my feelings about a game...

    Chris Cattlin. I agree with Rupert's great summary of the options, but Spider shades it for me. 1960s

    So, Reice Charles Cooke...

    I think he made the correct judgement to go for the ball yesterday – he just didn’t show enough strength. If he’d stood on his line and let it swing across our 6-yard box, Sharp would probably have scored anyway.

    So, Reice Charles Cooke...

    I agree - but then we have to be prepared to accept that it could cost us promotion.

    So, Reice Charles Cooke...

    That is pretty much how I see it. But I agree with those who say that we need an experienced keeper – IMHO we’re not doing RCC or Burge any favours by putting so much spotlight on them in a crucial season. Young keepers always make plenty of mistakes, and I dare say TM would like an older head...

    Mowbray interview

    TM was philosophical about the various incidents, and I like that from a manager. What’s the point in managers and players ranting and raving and feeling sorry for themselves, with important games coming up? He said “we’ll keep doing what we do”. I was ranting and raving btw :)

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    Which thread are we on – the Allard Way one, the Butts Park Arena one or the M6 junction one? They’re all so similar it’s easy to lose track :)

    It could be here ?

    ... and I dare say that's right too.

    It could be here ?

    I dare say you're right, it's probably all a bit too late now.

    It could be here ?

    Nice try Tony, but please remember it's an established truth around here that you never go to the games ;)

    It could be here ?

    Unfortunately it would also mean splitting the liabilities, and SISU don't think the Ricoh is a viable enough business to carry any debts. That's how we got here.

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    If this is indeed the case, it would introduce a strange new sense of sanity to proceedings. I’m not sure I could cope with that.

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    I’m going to assume for argument’s sake that Les Reid wouldn’t have got this completely wrong. I don’t see why CRFC shouldn’t have two suitors? Anyway, I’ve really felt good at the Ricoh recently - so if CCFC seriously want to move out and build another stadium, it would at least help if I...
