I'm not sharing my topless waitress with anyone. I insist on (at the very minimum) a one to one ratio, this rising to two to one if I buy a ticket in the main stand. I shall inform Ms Garlick forthwith. :D

Actually, didn't those original Arena 2000 plans call for a capacity of 60,000 or so? Good Lord, what were we drinking.

Now you're getting it. ;)

If you were going to build it, and rely on attendance and revenue from those attendees to pay back all of the debt it would involve, then it's going to take a very, very long time if you limit it to only 15,000. But if you're not going to build it, you might as well plan for 100,000 and a...

In fairness, I'm not sure it matters. I'd rather have the Trust (or someone like that) on this committee so that we've got the hope of feedback without the spin. Obviously, once this all goes down the pan, I'd expect all of the members of the committee to have their heads shaved and be marched...

I should add (before I get a kicking), nowt wrong with Bed'ff. Friendly folk at the Oval, I've always found. Couldn't resist though, sorry!

It's OK mate, I'll lend you a quid - it'll save breaking your twenty. :D

Given they're never going to build it anyway, surely we can be far more ambitious. I demand 100,000. :)

Although in fairness if Steve did jump across the table and strangle Fisher whilst shouting "SISU out", and then posted it up to YouTube alongside a message saying "I'm glad I did it", I still don't think there's a court in Coventry that would convict him. ;) (I'm kidding btw, in case you...

Fwiw, and imho etc., I think Simon's done a good job here with both his recent interviews. In essence, to me, it seems that both Labovitch and the new ACL chap, Robinson, have said something along the lines of "we've got a plan, and the future's rosy". When challenged as to the fiscal...

I think he came round the house once, it was either double-glazing or driveway cleaning. Charming chap, though somehow he seemed to end up with my wedding ring after we'd shaken hands. No chap, I don't know him. But him and Fisher have been caught out more than once in absolute lies. Why...

Do you know it, RFC, or do you just believe it? It's just that there's quite a big difference.

Also, if you did want a big outdoors show in the Coventry Area, wouldn't you want to book the much bigger Ricoh Arena than the 12,000 seat middle-of-nowhere Timmytown?

Two possiblities to my mind: 1) If he chucks enough mud around about things like fans being manipulated by PR companies, some of it might stick. 2) He really is paranoid enough to believe that SBT have been infiltrated/influenced by Weber Shandwick, despite there being little or no evidence...

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry, having read those minutes. ML sounds like an arse of the highest order. Is the SCG there to inform fans what's going on, or is it there to bully the Trust and accuse them of some kind of criminal activity? Interesting enough, Labovitch might want to be...

It's a fair question this. It's obviously much more of a community-asset if there's a football team there, I'd say. I suppose the gym (if it's still there), and the fact that it's a half decent venue for live music on the small scale as well as the big scale is no bad thing. And it's not just...

Blimey, has every thread tonight turned into a personal slanging match. C'mon fellas - lets discuss the issues here, there's some good points to be had from all sides surely. Fwiw, and back to the OP, I thought that it was a good article and interview. I want to hear that ACL's doing well...

Agreed. It'll take no little courage either, like Torchy's efforts. All credit to you for doing it, I'd entirely accept that the extent of my protest has been staying away from Sixfields so it's probably a bit rich me asking others to do something more active!

Fair enough. I hope you get better soon too, fwiw. We probably differ on everything, but we're still both Cov fans at the end of the day.

And just to go briefly OT, did you try a protest or not Andreas? Obviously it's your choice whether to or not, but it's pretty poor if it was all just a wind up.
