Well the inevitable Clarke goal is out the way, lets get back on level terms ASAP.

Nearly missed the kick off, fell asleep with the dog on the sofa. Too old for late nights out it seems.

Whatever the view people take of our long stay in the top division you can't argue that we've had nothing to cheer about since. As STP's post shows every other team has had success one way or another since then. Its not really asking to much to have a decent season occasionally.

Of course we'll never know but I suspect if CCC hadn't got involved the likes of Robinson and McGuninity would have looked to get out. A new owner may well have decided the new ground was a bad idea and exercise the buyback clause on HR.

£50 for 3 games is a great offer. Near the top of the league, decent signings, playing entertaining football. Would be all over this if I lived nearer. Will probably have to make do with one home game next month.

A lot of people keep saying there will be defections from labour but so far the only move seems to have been to labour! Membership has shot up by all accounts as well. Before too long they'll have had more new members join since the result of the leadership election than the Lib Dems have in...

As the saying goes if you lie down with the devil you wake up in hell. Only had a quick scan but it seems pretty likely they're headed towards admin. Now if there was a partially redevloped ground going on the cheap who might be interested?

Apparently Wasps need use of the hospitality facilities so its been moved to later in the year.

I've lost track, is this who Mowbray was talking about when he said he was looking at someone that would play in the U21s?

I know there's an element of predicting the future when preparing a FFP budget but what were the FL doing signing off on a budget that needed them to double their attendance? What a farce.

They should do a different cover for each club. Can't be that hard to do these days.

The more interesting stat would be what % of the fanbase that were attending prior to stadium moves continued to attend following the move. Given Wasps assertion that a huge % of tickets sold are to CV postcodes could it be that a similar % of their fanbase stopped attending. The fact that they...

I couldn't name a single rugby player without looking it up. I know Wasps had one player who had waited all his life to play at the Ricoh and then left them! A quick shout around the office and no one here has the slightest interest in the World Cup or rugby in general, not scientific I know...

Even with the huge number of free tickets and the publicity around moving to the Ricoh they were still only getting an average of about 15K a game with a couple of exceptions (the first game and when all the Leicester fans turned up). We are averaging over 11K in the third tier. Their...

Be very interested to know what, if anything, was shown to the FL to indicate progress. We're now into year 3 of a 3 year project for a new stadium. Even if you allow the 2 extra years for slippage surely something should have happened by now? When this whole charade started I thought they'd...

For inclusion in the city plan do you have to actually give details of a potential site or just say we need 60 acres? The way the Coventry city plan is talked about is that any site that becomes available is to be used for housing but I'm not sure all those sites have been individually...

ACL took out a loan to purchase the lease. There was an agreement that any profit ACL made would be used to make overpayments on the loan so until that loan was repaid our 50% stake would have generated no income for the club. Of course originally we were supposed to get 50% of the freehold but...

That's easy, Coventry.

Don't they run a shuttle bus from the station to the ground? If they don't they should do.

Well the rent on the ground is £100K, I can't find a rent for the club shop but unit 2 is £30K, no idea how that compares in size. Is anyone still at Citybase or have they moved to the Butts and / or Ryton. Can't imagine the Butts is costing a lot so the rent is probably around £1m cheaper...
