If you're contacting the Guardian, I'd go for The Fiver ahead of their general letters address. Captive football audience and far more likely to include it as a story on their email too (if only to pad out their word count). [email protected]...

If we ever do return to the Ricoh and everything is rosey again and as it should be, I'd like to keep that stand at Tesco. You can catch shoppers who'd otherwise not bother traipsing across to the stadium, and lazy folk particularly like me.

I had no idea this was even possible.

I've just skimmed the thread, but BBQ in Australia is the kind of protest I can get behind.

I wonder if Hoffman can present his proposal directly to them?

Right, if the pheasant plucker's son turns up, nobody say a word. Especially not fast.

I get the idea, but I don't see it as workable. Sphinx are a football team playing in and for the city, which is about as catch-all representative as you can hope. With nearly everything else there is disagreement (look for instance at how many people have already declared the club dead).

If Sue owns a red lorry and a yellow lorry, we're in some real trouble.

Because these new clubs are all presented as the complete antithesis of what SISU do, at a time when people are most emotive about SISU (Coventry United seems the most cynical of all, the 1883 version may not be in the same realm). Sphinx aren't being run by evil tyrants from what I can gather...

I thought you were imploring Hoffman to sue a fan for a second there.

'Oppress', sweet shit. So what have I done to hold you down that's any worse than you implying that fans are traitors helping kill the club? Opinions shouldn't automatically be respected. If I was trying to rid you from the face of the board (like reporting posts that are mean to me, yeah?)...

Can Hoffman take this offer directly to the Football League?

I'll give you a minute here, but just to help you along: 'What fan in shock having an opinion different to yours attending......... :facepalm:'

Seems to be working alright from what I can tell. No time travel or forgetting which threads are marked as read.

You do come up with this guilt-trip shit on a regular basis, but this will make you indirectly twice as complicit as the hypothetical people you're slagging off. SCAB. SCAB. BOO.

I hate when this kind of thing is presented as a 'club statement'. I mean, technically that's correct, but it's not Coventry City saying this stuff, it's the dickheads taking it away.

I'm going to give them 2p for every time you pull out that mawkish bullshit.

Big no for me. The United and 1883 efforts just smack of cynically preying on emotions, and in Sphinx the city already has an non-league team close to the very centre of the city who could do with extra support. Far better them than NOTSISU AFC 1987

It was still telling me that posts from 6.30 were 9 mins ago. Shift and refresh and it seems alright.

I think that put me off a little. It looked great but you'd have to take up yoga to get comfortable playing it over those big stands. I'd end up using it as a battlefield for my green army men, Black Hawk Down style.
