    32000 crowd

    How on earth can you on one hand say nobody would go if CCFC moved but claim Wasps move is a great success. The trick would be not moving somewhere like Northampton where there is already a similar level team. I find it hard to believe you genuinely don't notice the Wasps signage and...

    Owning our own stadium is it really a must?

    That ties in with what I was told which was £400K a season before the move to Sixfields but included what we paid for directly. I was told there was an increase when we returned as we were having to pay for things that were included in the old lease such as match day parking for players, media...

    Owning our own stadium is it really a must?

    Indeed it is revenue. The way I look at it is owning a stadium costs a certain amount in maintenance and other costs per year and against that you get access to various revenue streams. Renting a stadium also brings costs in rent and matchday costs and against that you get access to limited...

    Investment on the Horizon?

    There were rumours, pretty much started on here and with no basis, that Red Bull might try and buy us but it is now being said that they have approached West Ham.

    Free transfers

    We don't need someone who hasn't played all season, is looking to improve their fitness or is totally past it. Ideally we want to find a top L1 or championship player who has moved down the pecking order and is struggling to get minutes. The player might be up for moving if their first choice...

    A good potential site for a new ground in Coventry

    I didn't say it was their job I said it was an opportunity. SISU and Fisher need to be shown up as much as possible. Unfortunately the fans running on the pitch or articles in the CT aren't going to do the job. Lets look at it logically. The club don't extend the deal at the Ricoh so have to go...

    Investment on the Horizon?

    Isn't there a clause in the stadium deal that hits the current owners in the pocket if they sell within a certain timeframe?

    A good potential site for a new ground in Coventry

    Yes it was. In my opinion the more pressure that can be put on them the better. The more their statements and promises can be shown to be false the better. For me it would be far better for the council to be saying they would support any application 100% and where possible highlighting suitable...

    A good potential site for a new ground in Coventry

    The council are missing a golden opportunity to expose SISU here. They should make it publically known there is a suitable piece of land available, Woodlands for example, and say they will do everything they can to support an application to build a new stadium there.

    A good potential site for a new ground in Coventry

    There's new housing on part of it I think and a Sikh temple (?) being built on the other side. Not sure how much space that leaves.

    New Poll - lets see what we really think...

    More in hope than anything else I've gone for just survive.

    Owning our own stadium is it really a must?

    The owners of London Irish are currently looking to move back to London (potentially to the ground in Brentford that was offered to Wasps). London Welsh have already moved back to London after the move to Oxford nearly destroyed the club. Half their players have left and they may not make the...

    Warwickshire CCC

    As has been rumoured for a while Ashley Giles has left Lancashire to take charge at Warwick. Great appointment and hopefully things will turn around. Seems to be a bit of a mess at the moment with a poor season and players leaving.

    Match Thread Peterboro. v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 31st Dec

    Given how well they're doing and how badly we are doing wonder if Slade will be tempted to try and set the team up for a 0-0. Not a fan of not going for the win but the way things stand at the moment teams look like scoring every time they get in our half.

    32000 crowd

    Anywhere in the country would be fine wouldn't it? Just be good business. Wasn't there talk at one point of a FL team in Belfast, maybe we could move there. Do you walk around with your eyes closed? Funnily enough most rugby fans were saying the same about Wasps when they moved here.

    Ben Stevenson

    Think that was £1m before tax and interest so doesn't mean at the end of the financial year there will be £1m left over. And even if there is a profit after tax and interest you need the cashflow to be such that it can be spent in January. Anyone expecting Slade to be handed £1m to spend is...

    Slade's first post-match comments...

    Venus came across as defeated and like he didn't know what to do to fix it. Slade sounds like he's got a list of things to work on and an idea on what to do. Of course we now have to wait and see if he can turn them around.

    Match Thread Bristol R v Coventry Match Thread - Monday 26th Dec

    Well at least it's only taken him one game to work it out and he's not saying everything is fine, just need abbot of luck or similar. Feel our season will be decided on what he can do in the January window.

    Match Thread Bristol R v Coventry Match Thread - Monday 26th Dec

    Did we get the wrong player by accident why we signed Turnball? There were Southampton fans up in arms he was being sold and claiming he was on the verge of their first team.
