There are probably enough toilets, but the entrances are too narrow. Need to ask the landlords to do something about it?

Another thing – Ben Turner dealt with absolutely everything thrown at him today with ease, after only just coming back from major ankle surgery. I believe he may only be contracted until next summer. If we can make it into the Championship, I’d love to think that we could compete with Cardiff...

You might be right - but I haven't seen anything from him this season that suggests he's over the hill at just turned 34. Maybe Wolves were guilty of a bit of "ageism"? Anyway, I'm happy that we are benefitting.

That we need to offer Sam Ricketts a contract for a couple more years - hugely influential.

Some of the posts here have been moving to read. I too experienced the decline of a family member, now no longer with us. But it’s a joy to think how much that person gained in life through what Jimmy Hill did for CCFC. Thanks Jimmy.

I actually get the feeling that the Butts may be a serious plan. I went past the other day, and the existing stand (which I think must easily hold 4000) only occupies a small proportion of the site. It’s still cramped though, and would limit how far the club can go. But if it was done right...

Bobby Gould of course. And Peter Hormantschuk - I always liked him.

Wow, I had no idea this thread was still going. Being “anti-franchise” is principled, but surely when fighting any battle you have to take reality into account? If Wasps represented a specific place, and/or their move had met with anything like a proper protest from their supporters, I’d have...

I agree with all of that, and I hope Blair Adams soon finds himself playing for someone who can get great performances out of him like Robins did.

I wouldn't argue with that - and I don't pretend that I'd make a good football manager :) But in this case IMHO a very good player seems to have ended up getting into a downward spiral, and I hope he can turn that around. Adams was one of the catalysts for that great spell under Robins.

I completely disagree, but there you go.

I thought Ben Turner was top drawer before he left us, and his sale (for £750K I think) was a shockingly poor bit of business. However, if he’s had an ankle reconstruction and not even played a full match of any sort since, it would be amazing if hits the ground running for us. But TM watched...

It’s a bit disorienting to be looking down the table from the top end. Nice view though.

What the hell is TM playing at? :whistle: Thanks Astute - I'm getting the hang of the little yellow things now ...

Gotcha – I can now see your comment was just as Astute as ever ! Those little farticons (or whatever they’re called) take some interpretation when you’re my age …

So we trust the manager, but not the player he trusts. There must be so many factors TM takes into account before choosing the starting 11 (including the physical condition of each player) that we can’t possibly know. He’s not done too badly so far.

There might be ways you could slightly increase the size of the butts and make them a more attractive shape. Things like diverting main roads, knocking down pubs and petrol stations, and taking chunks out of little parks - physically possible but expensive and no doubt highly controversial.

I’ve just noticed that the Butts site has one huge advantage that no other could possibly match - the Local Government Ombudsman’s office is quite literally next door :) So this time around, the running disputes with our Council landlords could be sorted out on the spot, without recourse to...

I don’t necessarily disagree with you Stupot – I just keep coming back to the unavoidable feeling that Coventry only needs one stadium, and that it’s more viable for all concerned with two high-profile clubs rather than one. Regarding Arabs and Russians – both those parts of the world are...

Incredibly pleased about RCC’s longer contract. For all the exploits of the loan players like Armstrong, watching them never gives me the same pleasure as seeing an actual CCFC player doing well. Can’t wait to see Maddison back in action.
