    Ricoh Arena Concerts are back on for 2016

    While posting in another thread of Wasps throwing money at additional entertainment on match days it got me wondering how their Marianne Faithful show went. Quick google tells me it got cancelled due to poor ticket sales (strangely didn't seem to be a problem on the rest of the tour). Of course...

    The EU referendum

    The first answer there shows exactly why this is a waste of time Broadly we know what staying in the EU means. Nobody knows what leaving means. You're voting on a wing and a prayer. To have a proper referendum this all needs to be sorted out ahead of time so we know what voting no actually...

    Next 3 Games

    We don't just need a win, we need to string together a run of 2 or 3 wins. We can't rely on other teams being crap and dropping points all the time to keep us in the top 6.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    How is this anything like what Wasps are doing? For a start nobody expects to pay full list price for a new car. And thats before you consider the discount levels. You're comparing a 20% discount on a new car (which in reality will be a lower % as I would imagine it is discounted from list...

    Council Hearing Match Thread

    Anyone know what % of eligible voters picked Labour last time? Council elections get some really low turnouts. Found some stats for 2012. 26% turnout and Labour got 54% of the vote. That would mean Labour being in power after being voted for by 14% of the electorate!

    BBC News: Doctors urge schools to ban tackling in rugby

    Something is going to be done. The NFL have been looking at this issue recently and have determined the younger you are the more likely you are to get concussions (and that's with all the protective gear). Think it was something like a high school student was twice as likely to get a concussion...

    Rochdale attendance

    You're assuming its the same people every week just with some deciding not to go. There will be a hardcore that go every week but then you're looking at fluctuating numbers every week. Some people will go a handful of times a year but will make an extra effort if its a 'big' game or we're doing...

    CCFC Accounts, £1.9M Loss

    But if John Doe phoned them up SISU tomorrow and said here's £10m for the lot but I want it with no debt etc outstanding that is still possible?

    CCFC Accounts, £1.9M Loss

    Is this massively different to when SISU took over themselves? At that point the club had debt to various people, Robinson etc, but that wasn't all paid off as part of the takeover. Would a takeover of CCFC in the same manner be possible. So for example the club is purchased for x from SISU on...

    short term thinking expecting long term results

    If they want to be signed by someone else surely the have to play as well as possible. Same really with the 'head turned' thing. If a player has an offer from a team at a higher level then will be keeping tabs on him. If his form goes to shit the offer could be withdrawn.

    That's nothing compare to a game kicking off late.

    Council Hearing Match Thread

    How has that idiot got another high paying job without having to give up his existing one? If Lucas is to be believed he is one of the two council representatives at ACL who were so incompetent at their jobs they believed ACL to be breaking even when it was making a loss.

    The FA and FL really need to get some rules in place to bar sex offenders from being able to register as players. You can easily argue that they have contact with kids, are examples to the community etc.

    time to call a spade a spade!

    I get the argument that our overall record and our position at the end of the season are both likely to be better than last season. that is of course an improvement and would have been good enough for me before the season started. However from where we were a couple of months ago its pretty...

    Adam Johnson

    Good to hear. Had a news alert on my phone saying he'd been found not guilty! Glad that wasn't right. Seemed pretty open and shut.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    They've used that trick before. Pick one of the supposed 'big' games and to all intents and purposes give you a free ticket to another game. I find all successful business give away their product for free :facepalm:

    Intention doesn't come into it. He broke the rules - that's it plain and simple. Where intention comes in is with what punishment he gets. You could say, and I would agree, it was unintentional, doesn't really impact on anything and has since been corrected so there will be no further...

    short term thinking expecting long term results

    But if a lot of the squad was under contract and got promotion I would have thought if they were surplus to our requirements we could get some money for them. Players that have success behind them would be in demand wouldn't they? Sure there would be L1 clubs who would want them.

    Even Mutton accepted that he failed to disclose it, and once he was aware it was disclosed! The only people who are saying it didn't happen are the council committee!
