    15 games to save his job.

    It’s a good job that after the last ten manegerial departures we have been saved from mediocrity. Thinking about it, for us to be mediocre would be a step up as for the past ten years we have simply been awful. Sacking managers doesn’t work.

    Throwing the season away

    From a paper on Downs Syndrome We know many people with Down’s syndrome face abuse on the street every day including having the word “mong” shouted at them. When Ricky Gervais or others with similar prominence use this word, people hear it and think it’s alright to use this word how they see...

    Desire, passion & commitment

    That was the worst performance I have seen from Kelly-Evans. However, he was just back from injury, not properly fit and so harsh to judge him as a footballer in that way. Stokes gives his all every match but I think lacks quality when over lapping.

    15 games to save his job.

    Is that Chris Houghton, the life time guy who left Birmingham City for a bigger, better job at Norwich (from which he was sacked)? What knowledge have you got of Sisu’s backing for him? If you have inside info on the budget it would be interesting to share. Were you calling for Robin’s to go two...

    Max Biamou

    Anyone who watched the game today and is fair minded would know that Biamou played well today and was deservedly City MoM. He is a good footballer who holds the ball well and brings others into play. He is not Cyrille or Dion and he certainly doesn’t score enough goals, but to label him as...

    Comparison of drop in spectators from relegation to league 2

    I was reading an article about Accrington Stanley in this months When Saturday Comes (a good football magazine that is worth a read if you haven’t tried it. As likely to have something about Macclesfield as Man Utd, not all PL froth). Their owner seems a really good bloke. The shirt offer is for...

    Attendance Prediction

    There isn't an argument. Ticket prices are too high, here and at other clubs too.

    CCFC v Accrington a modern L2 record

    This will boost (distort?) the average attendance figure by over a thousand per game.

    Fifth Round... / Brighton Ticket Details

    I’ve got a season ticket and tried for an Exeter ticket in our allocation but missed out. The answer on this occasion was to buy a ticket in the home end. Anyone without a ST could have done the same.

    Fifth Round... / Brighton Ticket Details

    This was the system that used to be in place here a few years ago. It still gives ST holders priority over non ST holders but pushes ST holders who also travel away further up the queue.

    £5 tickets for Accrington - Community Day

    I think the Charity Sheild attendance from City fans is the record away following in this country (55k?).

    Reid's Loan Expires on the 6th

    I think some people would cut off their nose to spite their face. If Robins thinks he will improve the team or the squad by Picked then I wouldn’t have any objection to that. The club are paying his wages so might as well get some benefit from him. He would certainly want to put himself in the...

    Sky Blue song

    I think you are right with name that tune, Blaze Away. The version of this I remember featured Bobby Gould with Ronnie Rees as the wizard on the wing. Willie and George were just before my time!

    Coventry transfer deadline day

    Was he not at fault for Nazon’s volley squeezing between him and his near post?

    Coventry transfer deadline day

    I think Burge is improving season on season. He doesn’t kick badly every game but has admittedly been on a bad run kicking wise since the Exeter mistake. Prior to that game he has had a long run where his kicking was okay. I think he is a target for some people who ignore the good pieces of...

    Coventry transfer deadline day

    I think if we get promoted Burge will be the keeper next season.

    Match Thread Coventry City at Forest Green Rovers Match Thread - Saturday 3rd Feb

    Is it pay on the gate or do you have to be a member to buy a ticket?

    The good the bad and the ugly MK Dons stadium

    I left the Northampton match early last season and spent the last few minutes of the game on the hill talking to some of the guys from the Trust. The word one of them used to describe what he had seen(from the Hill) and heard from people like myself, leaving early was that it was “toxic” inside...

    The good the bad and the ugly MK Dons stadium

    I don’t think the protests at Northampton (pitch invasions flares etc) were anything to do with the Trust. Pitch invasions yesterday seemed to me to be only for the self publisiation of those that ran onto the pitch. As mentioned on another thread, it takes away from the players who have...

    "McDons" - yet another humdinger at Franchise FC (TLS match report)

    Great comment about those on the pitch taking the limelight from those that deserve it.
