The support in Coventry for its football team is even poorer than many people realise.

It's a lot less than 4%. Don't forget all those fans who go and support CCFC at the Ricoh and don't live in the City.

Ah yes, I can see he's a concerned European.

I'm wide awake thanks. 20K over five years for the UK. Hardly the millions you suggest. Nothing like a bit of scaremongering though, eh?

There's a few on this thread.

Are you Nick Griffin or Nigel Farage? One or the other, surely?

You know what Tony. Me and you fight like cat and dog over CCFC and what's best for them, but I have to say I agree with everything you say on the stuff in life that REALLY matters.

I'm not into the rock thing or anything (apart from Lizzy) but I do love 747 (Stangers In The Night). It is a classic. Wheels Of Steel was good too.

They could have held on to their "community asset" for a few more years and waited for SISU to disappear, which one day they will. It was doing marvellously don't forget so there was no need to sell to the first franchise that knocked on their door. "Thanks for the offer, Wasps. The money is...

And I meant it from both sides. SISU won't be here for ever and Lucas et al won't be here for ever, but the decisions they all made will be.

Which makes the 250 year lease even more frustrating.

I was lucky as that was my time. 77/78 were the seasons I started going to all home and most away games. Still my favourite time. It even trumps 87 for me for the sheer enjoyment of it all.

Similarly if you dare direct any criticism at the council for giving Wasps - the outsiders - a 250 year lease than will probably be the death knell of the club then you are a SISU lover.

So would I, Otis. So would I. Nothing would make me more happy than Wasps going to where they came from. And where they belong. Unfortunately though they have another 249 years. I only wish for our own stadium because I can never ever see us getting hold of the Ricoh. And again, I agree...

Yes he certainly did "get the finances". Straight into his back pocket.

True. Then again Lucas said a club should never be ripped from its community. I, for one, hope this new stadium one day comes to fruition and we never have to look at Wasps insignia every time we play at "home".

Thoughts? I hope such a site exists and one day the stadium will exist. We can leave the Ricoh to Wasps then.

Great result for us that.

What the hell? A person working for a football club who supports another club?! Fuck me, that's a shock. Who'd have thought it. Presumably Mowbray, Oggy, Venus et al all supported City before they came here?

He seems to average one a day so I'm sure there's more stuff on the way.
