Funnily enough, other than Derby (who I guess are just about local), I'd also say Sheff Weds in terms of away trips. Man City a couple of times, Man Utd a couple or three. Stockport was a good day out, I recall. :)

Except that with regard to the liquidation threat, it's a matter of record that it was also made in meetings with ACL, AEHC and CCC. If that threat comes from the head of the company in those meetings, and then again later in the press, you'd be a bonehead to disregard it. This especially if...

Rubbish. I'm telling you what I felt. Who are you to tell me I felt something different? It might have been shit for you, but that's your problem. Don't make out that everyone here feels the same way as you. I had a pretty good time there myself, for most of the years I went - otherwise I...

Fair enough mate. It's Friday, and I'm a bit hot. Apologies if I got a bit snotty. Enjoy yourself at the Godiva. :)

No mate, I followed the team pretty much full on from the late eighties through until a few seasons into the Ricoh. I can remember the Neal era. Don Howe too. In terms of win ratios, I suspect that Neal was far from the worst manager we've seen at CCFC. I can only stand by what I felt and...

Ah, sorry, I've read this as you saying that if the worst happened, and the club was liquidated, that that would be it for most if not all supporters. (A made-up scenario, btw). I've then suggested (or offered my opinion) that that might not be the case. And then you seem to have said that...

Yep - I'm not saying you're wrong, although I suspect that HR gradually grew as the club improved its status and following, whereas the Ricoh was very quickly too big for us. I don't remember HR, even in the 80s, ever feeling quite as empty as the Ricoh could. If this sounds like I'm...

No - it's not a fact in my imagination, it's an opinion. My opinion is that we'd pick up a fair degree of support - your opinion is that we won't. Your opinion is no better (or worse) than mine. But if the best argument that you can come up with is that my opinion is a 'fact' in my head...

The turnstile bars were painted Sky Blue (or did I just make that up?). I think it was the history that made it personal to me, rather than the decor. The Ricoh never saw a First Division/Premiership game for starters, so for me it kind of started off slowly and then went rapidly downhill...

Blimey, can I just say that I'm feeling a bit sorry for Torchy here - he's made a couple of not unreasonable points and he's being hammered. I mean, I hate the bloke, but I still feel obliged to be at least a tiny bit polite. ;)

I see what you're saying, but to be honest not owning the Ricoh never really bothered me. Not being able to get a pint at half-time, that ticked me off good and proper though. I used to console myself with the thought that the cash never made it back to the club anyway! If we ever get back...

In your opinion. Just because you wouldn't be arsed to go, doesn't mean that alot of other people wouldn't. We're getting 2,000 at Northampton. Like I say, I'd rather it didn't happen, but if it does it isn't necessarily the end.

To be honest, I hope that no one goes down the 'Conspiracy' road, as I don't think it's going to help us get back to the Ricoh. But since Labovitch seems to have implied that ACL and CCC might have conspired against SISU, I think it's only fair to consider the possiblity of the reverse option...

Resources from a fanbase far beyond that of most non-league clubs, and I daresay from a few local businesses. I don't want the club to go pop, but if it did I can't see that we couldn't work our way back up the pyramid.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not here - but I'd have thought if you're a taxpayer you would be thankful. Why should the Council have to pay their own costs? The judge decided that the JR failed, and on that basis SISU lost. The loser generally pays the winner's costs. It's a...

Couldn't comment on OpenCart, but I've got a few ideas/contacts for possible designers for you, perhaps (the company I work for is in the app/website business too, fwiw). PM me your email, if you like.

I've met Fisher, briefly, as have a few others on the forum I think. I don't care much for what has happened to the club under his reign, but if you met him on an individual basis I think most would find him amicable and intelligent. In truth I found myself rather embarassed, because when I...

Don't forget the link, or Simon gets beaten. ;) http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/peterborough-winger-danny-swanson-having-7357682

Which leads me to two (moderately) interesting points. 1) Have CCFC declared JS as a director to the FL, which I think they are obliged to do even if she's a 'shadow' director (Section 3, Owners' and Directors' Test...

It's not a million miles away, that. I think there might be a bit of arm-wrestling over the F&B, because as mentioned that belongs to the company set up with Compass. But as you say, they're getting nothing at the moment. This is the key to negotiation though, everyone has to give a bit, no...
