    If we did .....

    Speaking personally I travel 30 odd miles to Coventry 25 times per season, yes to watch the Sky Blues, but also to visit family, my home town and, in a strange way that I can't explain to pay homage to my parents and grandparents who made a good life for their kids after living through the blitz...

    There is no reason to support a club like CCFC for many years other than loyalty based on it association with the city. The 2 CANNOT be separated without the club losing it raison d'etre. Not the ground, Not the colours, Not the players, Not the manager, Not the style of football. A club...

    Mutton Gone. Now It's Anne v. Joy

    It really is tedious that the grown ups have to wade through sh@g it or kill it or insult it willy waving every time a woman is mentioned.

    Total respect for that position. If we all took this stand I would hope the FL would step in and remove the Golden share and somehow grant it to a new entity ... Trust, ACL and a consortium of local businesses?

    If we did .....

    I think you would be wise to stop and think. This is massively bigger as an issue than disliking current owners. The act of taking a club away from it's home town/city is a step too far for, guessing here, the vast majority of fans. We are not a franchise. We are fans of a club representing...

    ACL: "We are absolutely flabbergasted by Tim Fisher's statement today"

    Queue, Malevolence Inconsequential All lovely words.

    If we did .....

    Well I wouldn't but I take your point that many would. The real issue is how many people are prepared to accept, on principle, a move away from Coventry, when we have a perfectly good stadium sitting empty and all it needs is for our owners to stop their remorseless campaign to claw back some...

    Yam Yam Land

    Closer for me as I live in Dudley. Will not be renewing my 20 yr season ticket though and reluctant to go at all if current owners remain. May attend warm summer fixtures ... Hard to say at present

    Skyblues Trust email received this afternoon

    10,000 fans paying an average of £15 per ticket = £150,000 income per match. Minimum of 23 matches. How can CCFC not afford £400,000 rent even ignoring F&B income? I know they have to pay the players but still there is no excuse to move from Coventry.

    Skyblues Trust email received this afternoon

    If, for the sake of argument, 100% of CCFC fans spoke with one voice and fans' representative groups told the FL/FA that we will not attend home games outside Coventry, under the present circumstances, could the FL/FA be persuaded to take the Golden share off the current owners and give it to a...

    An Apology to CCFC board

    Any comments I make are not the views of the CCFC player called Oakey, Graham, an excellent right back from the 70s. They are not the views of anyone called Oakey, as I am not called Oakey They are not the views of anyone whose nickname is Oakey, as it isn't my nickname. They are not the...

    The Evolution of the Beautiful Game

    We have allowed our clubs to be kidnapped by any crook who has access to a big enough wad with the purpose of increasing his wad. If the club is successful, by chance, most fans are happy. If not then look for another crook or chancer to start again. Meanwhile the fans pay the ransom in higher...
