    Antisocial Neighbours

    Used to live in a flat and it was fine for years until the council decided to rent it and placed a stereotypical 'chav' couple in there. They would have massive fights (police were called on more than one occasion), had blood down the shared hallway one morning, shared front door got smashed in...

    Any electricians on here?

    If so any ideas what might be wrong here. Was sat at home last night, lights flickered then everything went off for about 10 seconds. Came back on and then 5 minutes later went off again and stayed off. Thought it was a power cut but turned out to only be my house. The weird thing is the...

    Big announcement tomorrow - Ricoh Arena

    No chance it would have been anywhere near to £150K, more like a third of that. If CCC think it was £150K they are either doing something very wrong or money is going somewhere it shouldn't. But even if it was £150K you would have thought it was worth it to bring 10 times that into the city...

    booing

    Its very odd. I can understand people booing if we're in a relegation battle and have just been thumped at home but we're having the best season most of us can remember!

    Big announcement tomorrow - Ricoh Arena

    They did indeed. Radio One Big Weekend 2011: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/bigweekend/2011/lineup/ Which is, or at least was at the time, the largest free music event in Europe. And is broadcast on BBC radio and television. The host city has to stump up about £50K worth of infrastructure for the...

    Big announcement tomorrow - Ricoh Arena

    Maybe they should ask Lucas why, if this is worth so much to the area, the council turned down 2 free concerts at the Memorial headlined by Foo Fighters and Lady Gaga? Surely that would have had similar worth?

    Big announcement tomorrow - Ricoh Arena

    They need to have words with their PR team. Shouldn't really be tweeting last night saying there's a big announcement tomorrow if its not until next week.

    Attendance v Walsall

    This has happened a couple of times. You've got 4,600 empty in the away end and then the blocks that aren't open. Then lets say the Telegraph stand only had as many blocks open as the away end (does that sound right?). That's 9,200 empty seats which means in the main stand and the Tesco stand...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    The tickets they do actually sell are cheaper than at Wycombe so you could have a bigger (paying) crowd but lower ticket revenues.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Well that depends what your options are. I would have been happy enough paying a reasonable rent to ACL with access to the revenues we need as the primary occupier with our branding in place. Less happy on a similar deal playing on a pitch churned up by rugby matches surrounded by Wasps...

    Chris Stokes

    Agreed. There's been a lot of complaints about our defence recently but if you took those 4 out of any L1 lineup they'd struggle. Hopefully Martin and Stokes will be back sooner rather than later. Think Mogga will be looking at getting some short term cover in.

    Big announcement tomorrow - Ricoh Arena

    Well that was a huge anti-climax.

    Thermos Flask

    Following the matches on twitter every home game you get to just before half time and get a timeline full of people complaining about slow service and queues. Doesn't seem like much is being done to try and fix this.

    Still in the mix with Mogga planning to bring players in to strengthen the squad. Don't think its time for people to start giving up yet. Get a result on Saturday and things are looking decent.

    Bollocks. Time for Madders to get his late winner.

    Looks a good crowd, how many blocks are left to open, can't be many. (pic stolen from twitter)

    Kicking off late (not delayed just running behind), will be our fault if Sunderland get relegated.
