What, not even Bramall Lane? Frequently voted one of the best football grounds in England?

There was an architect involved with the Ricoh? I don't imagine it will take pride of place on their CV if there was. A value-engineered, soul-crushing piece of shit if you ask me. Would love to be playing there against Brentford obviously, but it is not and never will be a place that has...

Are you sure about that? Someone I know who lives close by says it has been bought by a housing developer?

Oh please. What a few of those going to Sixfields have said (not all, and I cannot speak for everybody) is that if people turned up there in numbers (people like yourself) it would be much easier to orchestrate large scale protests - the sort of stuff that would be reported in the media and...

Not sure that's right. CCFC received 2500 and have a couple of hundred left. The 2750 figure I suspect is the total, so should be loads available for POTD - although I do know quite a few planning to do that.

There won't be any trouble by virtue of the fact the possibility of it has been talked about beforehand. After the Wolves game, police will be all over it. No history between the 2 clubs. Will pass off without incident. I remember last season when we played at Walsall, and Blues were hosting...

I think they anticipated Wolves would take that, so it was allocated seating from the off. They started selling tickets to us on an unreserved basis assuming we would not take as many as 4500, hence the maximum they can now give us is 4000 based on the 90% rule. I think 4K is about enough...

Extra Vale tickets now available on offal for anyone interested...

Why would anyone try to manufacture a rivalry with Nuneaton? It is a measure of how far we have fallen that people would want that. Forest fans don't care a toss about County, and that is a league side from the same city. How much do Leeds really care about Bradford? It will be a dark day in...

The club was set up long before it was confirmed that CCFC would not be playing in Coventry this season - so that they set it up for that reason is nonsense. If they had called it AFC Coventry and played in Sky Blue, it was have had a lot more sympathy and support than it has. If they did...

I don't get this idea the club were' happy' with the deal. As said above, it wasn't the best deal, it was the only deal. MM was very quick to state in media that the terms imposed on the club were not great - it is why he kept repeating that we needed 'crowds of 23,000 to break even', in other...

Agree. It's as though some people feel genuinely hurt that they don't get to walk around advertising the services of a parcel delivery company (or such like). No sponsor is fine by me.

Indeed. It's almost as if they are glad ACL got one over the club and that our former owners were every bit as idiotic as the current ones. It genuinely seems to give them pleasure.

The stadium is almost empty anyway, and it has created zero media interest for the past 3 games. Nobody cares. The boycott is the most lame and pointless protest we could possibly have adopted.

Oh I love it. I love the fact I can see the ricoh from my house, but on matchday I have to drive past it and on another 35 fucking miles to a town I hate to sit in a shed with 2000 OAPs and kids, while a team full of Coventry youngsters gets nothing like the plaudits it deserves. And all...

He didn't need to pass it on, it was all over the media, ACL made sure of that. It was in effect an empty gesture though. What ACL should do now is make a public statement stating that they are prepared to offer Otium a rent deal based on £150K a year and put the ball firmly back in SISU's...

But you acknowledge that for this to be visible, there needs to be people inside the ground? I would happily wear one to home games. Perhaps an idea for the trust - I am sure they could shift a few and it would snowball as the season goes on.

That's what I'm talking about. Imagine how on top that is with a full house. None of this 20 yards of no-mans land you get behind the goals at the ricoh and other new grounds.

I am sure they had input, which only makes what they came up with worse. The stadium was value engineered, and that is why most new grounds are crap. Wasn't ours designed by the same architects involved with the Walkers Stadium? The end of the day, if you are going to build a venue that can...

Those were the days.
