    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    I'm not throwing caution to the wind or championing anything. I'm saying keep our options open and get as much reliable information as possible to make an informed choice. Although in terms of 'repeating the same mistakes' if we could have an outlay of £10m and get a stadium complex like the...

    Dominic Samuel?

    Think its just because we had him before. More wishful thinking than anything based in fact.

    You are aware we aren't the only football club in the country aren't you?

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Again you don't know that because you don't know how any new ground would be funded or how much income would be generated. Who is better off: Team A have no debt and pay £100K a year in rent but receive no income Team B are £100m in debt but receive £10m a year in income Hugely oversimplified...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    I would rather we had our own stadium than play in an increasing Wasps branded stadium, that is absolutely correct. However if it is shown that staying at the Ricoh under Wasps is the best option then that would be the route I would support, albeit while hoping for Wasps to fail or a billionaire...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    They have seen figures for our previous Championship seasons, they have seen figures for 91 other clubs, they have seen what happened to Stockport. Can they be 100% certain, of course not, but that doesn't mean anything should be ruled out.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    That is all supposition on your part unless you've seen figures and business plans the rest of us haven't. We have been told by independent experts, who I would assume are more qualified to comment than you or I, that renting from Wasps severely limits are future potential. Surely isn't it then...

    Official January transfer window for CCFC

    Cole has said he wants to stay, dependent on the wage situation I can see him sticking around. Don't think its worth paying him a big money wage but if he's not doing it for the money I'd keep him around. As much as anything for what he can pass onto the youngsters. Have a suspicion Bigi is...

    Official January transfer window for CCFC

    Because the club have stated several Championship teams have been scouting him I would imagine.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    What figures? Surely you know that being in the Championship or PL is worth more money. You also know that independent experts used by local media have stated that as a tenant at the Ricoh the best we can hope for is to be competitive in L1, that means should we get promotion we will be...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    But you're happy to follow the Wasps bullshit like a lemming. Why do people needs to get a new stadium out of their system. You haven't seen the business plan for either a new stadium or staying at the Ricoh so have no idea if we are better off staying or leaving. Why would any sane person...

    What was tm miffed about?

    Can't see what would stop the ref saying go to the stands or I'll send you off. In which case he won't have technically been sent off and therefore won't get any punishment.

    What was tm miffed about?

    Did he actually get sent off or just advised to go to the stand. CWR were saying he hadn't actually been shown a card.

    Agree, in a case like yesterday where they clearly weren't going on to cause trouble best to let them go on and then get herd them off. Saying that the speed of steward response to the keeper having a fan in his face was poor.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Independent experts dragged out by the CT and CWR have said we will struggle to compete in the Championship, let alone push for promotion to the PL, without stadium ownership. Yes a stadium will have to be paid for, but what is better. Would you rather pay £100K a year and stay in L1 with an...

    sh#t on the villa!

    From now on can we have everyone silent. A polite round of applause for any good play is more than enough noise. How many times this season have players mentioned our support and how much it lifts the team yet we've got a thread of fans moaning about song choice :facepalm:

    Coventry city fans

    If you're dicking around with players then don't be surprised if something like this happens. Saying that you know what the law is like, you could easily see their keeper being in trouble. If he'd actually hurt the bloke he'd probably get sued!

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    But they haven't continually moved. They formed in 1867 and played in London for 135 years until they moved to Wycombe in 2002. Every ground I can find a record of them playing at in London is within a 2.5 miles radius. They stayed in Wycombe for 12 years and have been in Cov for 1 but we're...
