  1. Irish Sky Blue

    One of my favourite festive games

    Beaten into second place by Ernie Hunt’s goal versus Burnley, early 70s.! (Shot from inside his own half, meant it too!)

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    I am sure they haven’t put a ceiling on how far they want to go. It may take time but I am sure that they would want to go as high as they could.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Also shows how careful long term planning from owners who care can reap rewards.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Another win too. What a great season. I would love to see them back at the top and showing Wasps who the City’s rugby team really are.

    I hope we win but can see it being a real battle. We deservedly beat them at home but they nearly sneaked a point late on after being outplayed. They have changed manager and improved a lot since then. I think it will be tough.

    Friday night games

    I am not saying that there weren’t thousands of Gloucester fans there, but I have to say I didn’t see them. I saw one guy wearing a red and white rugby shirt which I assume is the Gloucester colours. Thousands of yellow and black wearing people. A lot more diverse crowd than you would see at the...

    Regis was just played in the wrong way. I’ve said before Cyrille was a real Rolls Royce of a player, pure class.
  8. Irish Sky Blue

    Christmas coming early apparently? / Dale Evans...

    But probably easier to get rid of and replace.

    Almost like the argument that it was better to play at Sixfields as the atmosphere was better there than the poisonous one at the Ricoh. (Nonsense of course). I would like to see as many City fans there as possible.

    Just putting your hands on a player doesn’t make it a foul. Sounds like you agree with the “I felt a touch so I went down” baloney. Going to ground is, or should be, an involuntary action,from a push or a trip. I think Akinfenwa threw himself down when he felt Willis touch him. No pen in my opinion.

    I wouldn’t disagree. Sisu have stripped the infrastructure of the club. Two wrongs as far as I am concerned. First the multitude of crimes Sisu have committed against our club. However a franchise London rugby team should not be in Coventry. ( I know they are here because of Sisu’s despicable...

    Not saying half the price but sticking to the twenties plenty ideal sounds fair. ( In reality, still too high but fair enough in current structure).

    Yes, I was up there today, first time I have been around the Ricoh when Wasps have played. Thousands there before 2pm. When I got back in the car I put CWR on just to check the time of the KO which turned out to be 3pm. Not sure what they were all doing there more than an hour before KO but...

    More to the point, why do Exeter have a section of their ground where fans can watch more cheaply? Presumably because they realise that some of those who stand on the terrace would not go if the starting price for a game was £22.

    Stoke Details Confirmed - Saturday 6th January

    Ticket prices in this country are far too high and are exploiting the fans. However, that doesn’t excuse clubs over charging in the way that we do. The fact remains that for home fans to watch Exeter they can do so for £16, their cheapest admission price whereas for City it is £23. For...

    Stoke Details Confirmed - Saturday 6th January

    Should have said why can’t we have our own system that works efficiently. Sorry to sound like the old git that I am. If the club 50 years ago at Highfield Road, before the age of computers, was able to cope with average home crowds of 34k, with very little difficulty( including a huge walk up on...
