    Cov Back To Ricoh speaking to Ann Lucas Today

    I find it a bit suspicious that we only ever hear from this group at times that would seem to suit SISU, makes me wonder if there's someone behind the scenes promting them. It would be very convinient for SISU if, assuming the JR gets kicked out, there was a report that placed the blame with CCC...

    Sixfields or Cheltenham ?

    When I lived in Cambridge I used to go and watch Cambridge United but it's nothing like the same. Just went along as it was something to do, my mates were going and it was relatively cheap (even had a visit from the mighty Sky Blues for a pre season game!). At the time Dion had just signed for...

    Coventry vs Tranmere - Match Thread

    Don't believe anything Fisher says to be honest but with this he's really backed himself into a corner. People were openly laughing at him at the forum yet they continued to claim they could cover any losses caused by the move. If they then turn round and use lower revenues as an excuse for...

    Coventry vs Tranmere - Match Thread

    I believe club owners are allowed to put money in as equity which is then included in FFP calculations. Our owners have said it doesn't matter if we don't turn up they have the money to cover the loss of ticket income. Look at the numbers who travelled to Wolves and who are going to MK Dons and...

    Is this true? Surprised they haven't already gone out of business then. Everyone knows if you don't own your own ground you're in trouble :whistle:

    I can't for a minute believe they had some grand plan to take over Northampton but if they can't get the Ricoh what do they do? We all know the figures for building a new stadium don't stack up and you can imagine at some point it will cross their minds that if Northampton get relegated to non...

    Coventry vs Tranmere - Match Thread

    Makes Tuesday nights game against Rotherham pretty important. If we can keep a clean sheet and grind out a win hopefully the team will get their confidence back.

    Coventry vs Tranmere - Match Thread

    There's no way Wilson and Clarke can be expected to score every game, they have to have a dip at some point. The question is when they do can the rest of the team step up, either need more goals from elsewhere or the defence to tighten up.

    Coventry vs Tranmere - Match Thread

    always a danger of a result like this when you're playing a we'll score more than you style of play. do people think we're letting in so many goals (not just today) due to our style of play or is the defence just not doing their job? will be interesting to see how the side responds now.

    Coventry vs Tranmere - Match Thread

    It would be interesting to know what the response has been from the crowd given what has been said by those that go about the fantastic atmosphere, everyone getting behind the team, no criticism of players etc. Easy to be like that when we're winning but now we're having an off day are they...

    The ones I've been offered were through a mate who has a business in Northampton who have dealt with NTFC before, not sure if the offer came from NTFC or if it was coincidental / SISU trying to get some local sponsors.

    Everyone has to make their own decision. Personally I've been offered free tickets a couple of times and have chosen not to go as I feel going gives legitimacy to the actions SISU have taken and that non attendance is really the only form of action we have. I do think attendances being so...

    IF there is a new ground built........

    Didn't Edgbaston used to be in Warwickshire until the mid 1970s?

    IF there is a new ground built........

    What does Albion mean in club names? Does that relate to anything?

    The Ricoh

    So if we follow the Derby route Joe and Hoff buy the ground and give it to the club with Joy and Tim ending up in prison :D

    Les Reid podcast report part 2

    Unbelievably Les seems to have got a second story out of this weeks Lamptey podcast and I find this one a poorer piece of journalism than the first and I didn't think much of that one! http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/sky-blues-fans-divided-over-6332419 I posted a summary of...

    IF there is a new ground built........

    Its a bit ridiculous for people to be saying anything outside the city boundary is a no go. That said it's pretty clear that every step further away from the city boundary will mean more people who feel it is too far away and won't go. It's a pretty unique situation, other teams who play...

    Not coming back.

    I'd be interested to see the business case for that and how they proposed to turn a profit as on the face of it paying out £50K and taking none of the ticket revenue on a 9K attendance doesn't seem to stack up. Was the attendance a lot lower than expected or was it pretty full? If it could be...
