    Southend Groundsman Sacked after game called off

    A lot of other games in the area off though and doesn't one of their stands block any sunlight from getting on the pitch (from memory, might be mixing it up with somewhere else).

    He'd been their groundsman for 27 years.

    Southend Groundsman Sacked after game called off

    Must be more to it, that seems incredibly harsh. Article says covers were on and heaters in use. What else were they expecting? See on their site they've signed goal machine Nouble. 18 goals in 151 games, what a strike rate.

    Coventry City fans to discuss possibility of supporter-led takeover

    Fan ownership is a great concept but I really struggle to see how we can do it with the unique position we are in. Hopefully the Trust have a workable plan they can share with us. The Portsmouth fans played a big part in rescuing their club and fair play to them for that but it is vastly...

    Anyone else watching the Oompha Loompa become president?

    Always happens, think its just people that want to smash things up not people who are really part of this, or any other protest.

    Walsall-last home game

    There's no corporation tax if we don't make a profit but we'd still have to pay income tax and given footballers salaries that's going to be a significant amount. And while the interest isn't being paid it is still appearing on the accounts.

    Fans need to look in the mirror

    Not guilty! Blaming the fans is a very dangerous path to take. Lets face it, anyone who was there on Saturday was not having an enjoyable afternoon so how can you blame anyone for not going. The flip side of that is 8K is low for a city our size, irrespective of how bad our recent history is...

    Walsall-last home game

    Actually I was responding to someone else saying nobody would buy us. If they believe that then what is the point in protesting for SISU to go? What about cashflow? Look at a situation like 12 months ago when SISU gave a short term loan, how would the Trust cope with such things. Hopefully that...

    Bees dead

    Thats a dangerous road to go down with sport isn't it? A lot of sports have dips in popularity, doesn't mean their professional leagues should pack up. If we're only going to keep football clubs going that have a fan base to cover their costs there's not going to be many left!

    Shit being a cov fan but put in perspective

    Good luck to the lad. Hopefully he can make a full recovery with no long term health issues. Sensible of Hull to get a statement out. Still a terrible injury obviously but in hospital and stable is much more positive than it was being reported as.

    Anyone remember the Spion Kop / HR

    Remember one game against Wimbledon where it was hailing so hard into the Kop it was near impossible to actually face the pitch and watch the game. And just to prove its not a new thing we lost by scoring a late own goal.

    Walsall-last home game

    Its gone from 12,570 to 8,996 which even my maths can work out is 3,500 less. So what do you want a protest to achieve? If no new owner will come in what sense is there in a protest to get SISU out?

    Walsall-last home game

    No it would mean more money going in to CCFC. It would also show any potential owner that CCFC might just be a viable club going forward.

    Anyone else watching the Oompha Loompa become president?

    Yep, the new White House Press Secretary has refused to answer any questions from the media as apparently they have fabricated the story of Trumps inauguration being poorly attended despite the clear photographic evidence.

    Walsall-last home game

    Or Fisher will continue to do what he's been told to do. Like last year with Maddison we'll sell players to cover losses. The £1m is EBIT as has been explained over and over. There's not a pile of money in the safe at Ryton that Fisher won't let Slade spend. This has been done to death, there...

    Walsall-last home game

    As always I would say the first thing is to work out what we're trying to achieve. A pitch invasion, even if it causes the match to be abandoned, won't bother SISU one bit. We'll get a fine and possibly a points deduction for the following season, both things that harm the club not SISU. If we...

    Shit being a cov fan but put in perspective

    Hopefully this is just the Mirror with their clickbait shite. No other news outlet is reporting anything other than he's in hospital and there's no comment from the club or hospital. If it isn't true and something they've made up for clicks then its pretty low. In any case best wishes to Ryan...

    Coventry Evening Telegraph

    There's an article today about takeover bids which obviously hasn't been done to try and stir things up. :smuggrin: This line did make me laugh "The most recent wild speculation centred around energy drinks giants Red Bull lining up a takeover, but the Telegraph was able to kill off those...
