    Bassette

    I like him already, especially in the cup game where he made his debut. But he got booked for that challenge on their keeper on Saturday and then had to hold back a bit afterwards. I don't know if it was a fair booking because I haven't watched it back but he gave the ref the reason to think...

    Is this Highfield Rd?

    Is that the top of King Richard Street? You can just see the edge of the shop that used to be on the corner of Mowbray Street on the far right of the photo. Grew up on Mowbray Street so love to see photos of around there. I wasn't born until 63 so one of my first memories - apart from wondering...

    Match Thread Stoke away 10th August 12:30 - Opening day!

    The day is here! So happy and can’t wait for 12.30. I want us to concentrate on the league this season and get one of those two automatic spots. Not bothered about a cup run or Wembley. I want to be in the CBS celebrating automatic promotion, driving around the city waving flags and going in a...

    New CCFC App

    I had to change my password - probably forgotten because for tickets I use my supporter number -but apart from that no problems getting in. I like it. Good to have news in one place and a bit of a go to for more official news, seeing as the Telegraph doesn’t really do that reliably anymore and...

    Supporters forum - 21st August

    Would the club consider pop up shops for kit releases in future? I think a lot would sell that way as impulse purchases. As an example, I really like the new home shirt but don't go to the Arena except on match days or into town. Now obviously I could go to either but I work full time and have...

    Safe Standing and Segregation

    That will be harder to do than it sounds. Some people will be standing because those in front of them are. I say that as someone in B16 who wants to sit. I would likely appear on the cameras as someone standing in my seat but it's not through choice most of the time. I have considered moving...

    Access all areas at CBS

    They should do this more often. I'd love to do it. Hopefully as it sold out they'll realise there is some interest.

    Transfer Rumour Oliver Dovin

    Given they are mid-season makes sense they needed a replacement signed first. Feeling really hopeful about this now.

    New kit thread

    I love it! I'm not someone who rushes to buy a new shirt because I only tend to wear them to games but I will be buying that one asap 💙

    George Boateng is back and Rhys Carr appointed as 1st team coaches

    This rings bells with the recent interview with Dr Claire Marie Robert’s. Didn’t she mention individual stats and coaching? Perhaps she is starting to shape the approach to things more and Viveash didn’t agree or something? Maybe Rhys will do more individual coaching plans?

    Transfer Rumour Brandon Thomas-Asante

    It's this for me. If we really want to challenge for automatic promotion - and that is where I want us to be, not in the play off lottery - we don't need back-up players. We need players who might not be first choice in week 1 next season but easily could be first choice, and would be first...

    Callum O'Hare

    I think it's an age thing. Villa were the local rivals once - I vividly remember what felt like the whole of Highfield Road singing you're getting sacked in the morning to John Gregory, and how sweet that Moldovan goal at Villa Park felt. We haven't played them for years though so the feeling of...

    Football Ground Entertainment

    I don't think there is much of a pre-match culture with football in this country - in the sense of organised stuff on the pitch etc. People tend to have their own routines of pre-match drinks in a pub, or even down in the concourse. I went to Munster v Saracens a few years a go at the then...

    Are People Moving?

    We are staying in block 16. We like the view we have and the people who sit near us, although obviously some of them may move.

    Some perspective please (for the bedwetters)

    Whilst in some ways it's fair to say be professional and get on with the next game, i think the FA Cup semi outcome probably affected the players more than the fans. I don't think I was alone in being disappointed in the outcome but having a predominant emotion of pride - pride in out fightback...

    Miles off promotion.

    Colins made some good saves last night but didn't he also create some panicky moments with his distribution? The last 2-3 weeks I have found myself thinking I want us to have a really good keeper. Our keepers of late have been okay to good I'd say, or good enough for where we were. When did we...

    NEW SPONSOR

    Me neither, although I loved and bought the away shirt. I haven't gone wow I like that about a home kit for years I don't think. It's the away kits I've liked especially the two tone and baptistry window shirts. Quite liked the city of culture shirt. And I loved the navy 2021 special shirt...

    Ipswich fans planning to be in the South Stand

    I’d rather Leeds went up thinking of competition for promotion next year. Less likely that Ipswich will be battling for the automatic spots again than Leeds.v and that where I want City to be next season. That said I’ll be there just to give Ipswich a cheer if they go up.

    Sheaf

    I’ve accepted we sell our best players at their peak value since Dennis Mortimer broke my heart signing for Villa on Christmas Eve in 1975. There’s no excuses these days with all available stats etc. not to have potential replacements in mind. And make up your mind and sell early so the...
