Well in that case I look forward to away fans being moved much closer to the home fans as we have been repeatedly told it is the SAG that have blocked that happening.

Willis needs surgery. Doesn't really say what either of the injurys are. Not good news for either. Need a win on Monday to stop the doom and gloom merchants going to town.

The original plan had 2 trains an hour as the regular service, that service was to be extended to 3 carriages on event days with an additional shuttle service between Coventry and Ricoh stations running 2 trains per hour of 6 carriages each. At some point that's been massively scaled back.

As I said it is led by the council, more specifically Building Control. From the CCC website: Maybe the Telegraph could ask on what basis the SAG have made this decision. I can't see that it would impede access for fire or ambulance crews so that leaves the council, police and St Johns (an...

But the original proposal, when requests for public money were being made, had capacity for close to 2.5K passengers an hour. Now we're told maximum of 75 - that's a pretty big difference so what has happened there? If London Midland had paid to build the station and were saying it is low...

Nobody has said the council run the rail network. What has been said is that public money has been given to this scheme on the basis of a level of service which will now not be provided. Would you not expect there to be some sort of safeguard where public money is involved? Also if you actually...

Obviously its not good news him being out but lets face it he's had a couple of good games and wasn't expected to play every game this season. Not sure we can expect the wheels to completely fall off just because he's out for several months. Time now for someone else to step up. I'm sure if the...

The argument, that seems to come mainly from the EU, is that competition is of benefit to the consumer but I don't really see that. Sky hasn't gone down as a result of losing the Champions League, in fact its gone up. It won't go down as a result of losing the Ashes. So if you're a football or...

On the basis of this you're looking at close to 2.5K an hour capacity, admittedly that would be commuter level crowding with the carriages bursting at the seams but for a short trip that would be acceptable. Thats not too far short of 25% of our average attendance at present, I would suggest if...

Not entirely sure but found this:

True but I would suggest if you read that document you would have the impression that services would be increased not that the station would be closed on match days.

From the original proposal, which was the basis for funding being awarded:

Wonder if Lucas will be as keen to take credit now as she was when work started on the station. From the Telegraph report at the time the work started:

The lack of an increase from one train an hour was farcical to start off with but the ban on matchday use seems more to do with our old friends the Safety Advisory Group than the train operator, those sensible chaps that make away fans sit about 5 blocks away from home fans. Have a guess who...

A win next Monday and everything will seem nice and positive again.

He said he was going for a scan which would be ligaments wouldn't it? If he'd broken something it would have been an x-ray.

FFS we must be cursed. As soon as you think things are on the up something like this happens. Hopefully TM can either adapt the system so his absence isn't as much of an issue as it seemed to be on Saturday or bring someone in who can replace him.

What was his reasoning behind that? Did he think other clubs were sending people down to spy on us in training?

Don't think you've got much chance of the club showing before pictures, wouldn't want to embarrass themselves! That graffiti club crest you can see in the background would make a good t-shirt for the young-uns.
