    Long Term Plan

    Exactly. You just have to look at who he gives as examples of not need ownership and the sort of deals they are on to see where he is heading. A few pence off the pies and pints isn't going to cut it. On the bright side italia keeps telling us we just need to ask Wasps and we'll get whatever we...

    Long Term Plan

    http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-fc-chief-says-10978189 More sense from Anderson but as always we need to see some action rather than just words. It seems from what he has been saying they are finally doing what they should have done years ago and working up...

    Who to renew?

    Stokes - keep Johnson - keep (as long as its low basic, offset with higher appearance bonuses) Thomas - I think for the sake of his career as much as anything else he needs a new start elsewhere Fleck - keep, might not have a choice in the matter though JOB - already gone and can't see him...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    And of course all our friends who only appear when the council get some bad press or there's legal action taking place.

    The EU referendum

    You're missing the point. You have no way of know what the situation will be should we leave the EU as it hasn't been agreed yet. Do you really think the likes of France, Germany and the rest of Europe are going to let us cherry pick the things we want to keep and bin those we don't? Of course...

    Council Hearing Match Thread

    Indeed but the point is we are now ruled by someone 86% of the electorate didn't vote for. To me that says we need to take a look at the system we have in place.

    The EU referendum

    Because clearly at the moment we only trade with EU countries :facepalm: Can you tell us what trade agreements are in place should we leave the EU. We may lose our trade rights in Europe so I assume something better has been put in place to replace them?

    The EU referendum

    So if we have an out vote are you saying there will be no more freedom of movement? What about all the British citizens that live in mainland Europe?

    The EU referendum

    Possibly. But there is also an argument that our electoral system puts people off from voting, especially if they don't support one of the main parties, as they feel their vote doesn't count. It also makes people more likely to vote for one of the main parties. For example you might agree with...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    But Wasps v Leicester is supposed to be the huge local derby that will easily pull over 30K. That is the equivalent of Man Utd v Man City isn't it? Its the exact opposite of what football clubs do. They will take a less popular game, say an FA Cup game against lower division opposition, and say...

    CCFC Newsletter

    Had something similar but that was for members. Not seen this one before. Good idea.

    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...
