    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Problem with that theory is by the time we moved out they would already know what shows were and weren't booked. We're working on summer 2016 and 2017 now, it doesn't just all get thrown together at the last minute. And besides that the concerts bring in far far less for ACL than you seem to...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Its absolutely impossible for you to assert as fact that had the council been truthful the outcome would have been the same. The council have been found out and for some reason there are a handful of people who point blank refuse to see any wrong in what they have done and seek to place all the...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Let's all rejoyce at how they council have played a blinder and most likely caused long term damage to CCFC and CRFC. Grendel's post was opinion, he was not directly involved and had no inside knowledge. CCC were part owners of ACL had full access to the accounts and should have clearly been...

    Is Football Crap These Days ?

    I don't understand why things like diving and having a go at the ref aren't clamped down on. Start at the top, ever PL game is televised so why don't the FA review every game and if there's a dive it's a post game red card, fine and ban. It will be chaos the first few weeks but they'll soon...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Can't agree with that. This is a council we're talking about and they have now admitted repeatedly lying to the taxpayers of Coventry. Some people seem to be so against SISU they will let CCC get away with anything. There should be uproar at this. Look at the hammering Fisher got for suggesting...

    "Smaller" clubs now bigger than Coventry City.

    Probably see a small bump up but not much. I think you'd have to wait until post Xmas and a serious run at the play offs before the crowds started to go up, even then I don't think they'd go up significantly until the very end of the season. There's been too many false dawns, people don't care...

    "Smaller" clubs now bigger than Coventry City.

    Looking at that list if you look at all those teams average attendance now have we had the biggest drop?

    Sisu Out Group

    Maybe they're hoping anyone who's not single will decide it's better to miss the match then be moaned at for going to the footy on valentines day and they can take the credit!

    So who are the back room staff and their duties at CCFC?

    There's 8 in SPs management team looking at this years team photo. There's Pressley (manager), McFarlane (assistant manager), Oggy (goalkeeping coach), I think the physio's name is Dave something, think they have a fitness guy and someone that does all the science and analytics. If that's right...

    Sisu Out Group

    I can't support a protest like that, how does it benefit our players and help create an atmosphere telling people not to go to games and hoping it's a record low attendance?

    U18's -v- Man City - FA cup

    He can't understand how they're losing as they've been terrific. Also said they look great in training :p

    about anything in particular?

    Acl

    If this JR appeal goes SISU's way could the sale to Wasps and the information in the ACL accounts prove a problem for CCC. Two things that got mentioned in the court case was that CCC made the loan to protect its investment and that the loan was secure due to the value of ACL. We now know that...

    What's the best Coventry City season you can remember ?

    All supporters need hope, it's doesn't have to be hope of playing in the top division. For some, maybe the likes of Crawley and Fleetwood, playing in L1 is probably above where a lot of their supporters ever expected them to be. Same with Yeovil getting into the Championship. Works both ways...

    If this is true, SP has not only lost the dressing room, they're mocking him to.

    What you're probably seeing is a combination of things. The tactics and team selection being poor don't start things off well, you've then probably got some of the team (I'd guess the younger ones) doing what they are told, the more experianced pro's ignoring SP as they know his tactics are...

    If this is true, SP has not only lost the dressing room, they're mocking him to.

    That's the problem isn't it? They must be laughing at him, watching him bomb players out and then bring them back in. How could you respect him after that. It's not like it's one player he's bombed out who's bucked their ideas up and forced their way back in it's totally random. There's been a...

    "Smaller" clubs now bigger than Coventry City.

    I've always thought of us as a similar club to Norwich and Southampton, no idea where I first got that from to be honest. The depressing thing now is seeing teams like Crawly and Fleetwood in the same division. I'm under no illusion that we're a big club or anything but it's just miserable to...

    If this is true, SP has not only lost the dressing room, they're mocking him to.

    Don't think so, last week he was forced to make changes to the personnel and system thanks to injuries and a late change in the line up. We played well in the first half but in the second Walsall could easily have come back into it as they changed their tactics and SP couldn't or wouldn't...

    Lowest crowd since 1962

    It's a bit worrying how many season ticket holders aren't turning up. I would guess most season ticket holders live fairly locally, if they can't even be bothered when they've already paid for their ticket what hope have we got of persuading people to pay £22 to go?
