    Where do you think the stadium site in Coventry might be?

    Old Courtaulds site, Old Church Road? I'm not sure if there's something on it now, but I think it's big enough. I have serious doubts about the veracity of the idea though, as others have said, why would the FL need to get involved if it's within the city?

    recommend a box set to watch

    Exactly. Zombies - slow, clumsy, not that bright. The centre-halves of the horror genre (vampires being the prima-donna "don't mess with my hair, no, no, please not the face" strikers.). So, with this in mind shall we set up camp: a) In the middle of a huge giant field, with great visibility...

    recommend a box set to watch

    I'll second Justified, love it. Anything based on Elmore Leonard's writing is usually pretty solid, imho. The Shield, the first series, was breathtaking at the time - first example I can remember of a genuinely bad cop being the 'hero'. Lost track of it though, so don't know how well it...

    Coventry parkrun

    So, start at 9:00am... then run 5km. At my usual pace, I should just about be done before dark, though the days are getting shorter. I'll give it a go. :)

    Favourite Ever Pub And Club ?

    Another one here for Scholars. I used to end up there regularly after drinking all day for home games. Despite being slightly the worse for wear the guys on the door were always great with me, including the boss. Every now and then I'd get in free too. I use the Nursery and the Hearsall...

    Northampton....

    It doesn't matter to me that Northampton fans didn't rise up against our ground share with them. That's history and the blame for it doesn't lie with them. I don't want any club to go under because of the crap actions of their owners.

    I Bloody Love Him Already!

    Not having a dig at Cole here, WM, but trust me on this - these fellas don't pay tax at the same rate that the likes of me and you pay tax. ;)

    Not to me ferret, but then I am a bit slow.

    Premier league star to sign

    Bugger me, it's on the radio and everything. I thought this was a wind up. Blimey. :)

    Premier league star to sign

    He was a ref as well - literally, who's the Bastard in the black. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segar_Bastard I went to school with one of his distant relations, Segar Megadrive. Ouch.

    CCFC in schools

    Indeed - isn't that something like "What do you love about sport?" or "Which sports do you love?". There'll be someone hereabouts who'll have better French than me. Certainly nowt to do with food, as far as I can tell. What's French for 'pies' anyway? :)

    December Stadium Deadline

    I'm afraid the worn out line that Wasps aren't from London is utter bullshit trotted out to pretend that this isn't somehow a franchise. I can live with people supporting Wasps, if that's what they want to do and they can live with themselves doing it. What I can't tolerate is this sort of...

    December Stadium Deadline

    And again, I find myself in agreement here. Worrying. I wonder if the missus has secretly upped my dosage without telling me. ;) Like pretty much everyone here, I have very serious doubts that SISU have any genuine plan for a stadium, let alone a comprehensive one. I'd be right behind your...

    December Stadium Deadline

    Here's the question again, because you seem a bit obsessed with the whole 60-acre thing and planning permission thing Is anyone in the city council going to help the club find an area for the stadium? Who knows what's available until someone actually looks. As others have mentioned maybe...

    December Stadium Deadline

    I know we come at this from different places on much of this, SBT, but I absolutely see what you're saying here. I suppose the only argument against it is SISU's suggestion that it's going to be partly funded by having retail space available. If true, of course, that will make planning...

    Refugees welcome?

    The problem with tear gas, as I understand it, is that it's quite difficult to aim. I suppose if you froze it you could just fire it in lumps at the 'underserving poor' males, say between the ages of 18-50. Even better if you were careful and just fired at the ones wearing "Benefit Slacker...

    December Stadium Deadline

    The question was - is anyone in the city council going to help the club find an area for the stadium? I've said what I think the answer to that is, and why. The council can't legally hinder an application, but if they don't support it then they can certainly make it a lot more awkward for it...

    December Stadium Deadline

    Rather the opposite, I think. The political support is all behind Wasps, as well it might be. If Wasps goes tits up, or just ends up with low to middling support, then it won't look good for the Councillors who endorsed selling it to them. As far as CCFC goes, the council need CCFC to stay at...

    Burge is going to give me a heart attack!

    That's exactly what I'd say. We should get right behind him when he plays, but personally I think we could use someone else in there at the moment. Any other managers watching the Burton game will surely highlight his poor handling of the high ball, and look to target that weakness.

    Mowbray says... / Marc-Antoine Fortune

    Good signing this, like it. Like TM says, there's a lot of experience here and at a very decent level. Happy. :) Edit: At 2.32m he'll also come in handy for cleaning the gutters and getting the ball out of the trees at Ryton. ;)
