    Petition for grilling

    I don't see much reason for the "be careful what you wish for" type posts above. I hold a lot of trust and faith in the almighty Truth. If an inquiry shows unseen conspiracies, devious business practices, negligence, etc., by ANY and/or ALL parties in relation to our club in particular, then it...

    There will be no perm signings

    My brother and I had a one-game trial for the youth squad back in '98, while we were visiting family in England for a week. It was against Nun Boro. We "were't want they were looking for," but I will offer myself up once more. And it's a free signing!

    Snowlanta

    I live in Atlanta, USA. 2 inches of snow fell here yesterday. All Hell broke loose, with drivers clogging the freeways and later abandoning vehicles, 1200 accidents, a baby born on the highway... Many drivers were forced to sleep in their cars overnight due to unpassable driving conditions, and...

    Transfer News On The Way

    SKYblueBlood, I agree. I can understand that Leon leads the goalscorers in the league, but doesnt't that say much more about the team around him to build chances for him to score? A good striker needs to be able to finish, certainly, but he needs to gel well with his teammates in just the right...

    New stadium land deal to be announced next month

    Ugh, I'm simply... disappointed? ?... about the whole notion of a new stadium on principle. I can understand that different parties have different opinions about values, revenue streams, etc. But, WTF! There is a perfectly good stadium being unused... Makes no sense to me... Feel free to...

    Are you looking up or down

    I am looking up. Losing today's game, against a second/first place team on Very good form is not the end of the world. But, It soured my day, for sure.

    Petition For No Ban For City Fan

    While I disagree on your position of bans, I do appreciate that you are bringing up a larger issue. What would be appropriate punishment for a spectator that enters the field of play? Should the circumstances dictate the punishments, i.e. for peaceful or violence? And I am not attempting to...

    Petition For No Ban For City Fan

    My opinion is this: A protester entered the field of play during a match (most likely) understanding that it would involve a ban, fines and/or jail time. He (probably) decided it was worth it, and prepared to accept consequences. From my understanding it was completely peaceful, to which I am...

    Do you think we could get 100,000 signatures.....

    Impressive! Just googled supporters direct and read up a little. This is exactly the type of organization that I was hoping might already exist. Thank you.

    Do you think we could get 100,000 signatures.....

    And in fairness, I think the biggest roadblock is awareness. We had a tremendous platform against Arsenal. Many of their supporters had no idea of our situation, or were mixed up about what our concerns really were. Some of them came onto this forum, or discussed it on their own forums, seeking...

    Do you think we could get 100,000 signatures.....

    For sheer numbers, contacting the biggest clubs' supporters clubs will net tens of thousands by themselves. A good message to include in the marketing of such contact is the line "Your club could be next." Arsenal fans on Friday proved that there is a willingness to unite behind a common good...

    Do you think we could get 100,000 signatures.....

    And a bonus to whatever politician wants to make it his or her only ambition to curry votes from passionate fans of any club. Here in America, crackpots are re-elected by whoever makes enough noise rabble rabble rabble.

    Do you think we could get 100,000 signatures.....

    I live in the USA, so may opinion on this may or may not be noteworthy. However, I agree wholeheartedly with the above statement and approach. An emphasis on fans and ownership is not enough, but a reminder about the defense of history (individual teams as well as the role of the game in the...

    If this shistorm ends

    The intransigence of all business parties involved leaves me with feeling much gloom. As for this season, I do not think there will be any move back to Coventry. A second full season in Northampton seems definite, but I'm still undecided about what may happen for years 3, 4, 5 or beyond...

    Twitter reaction to Why?-When? protest

    I should have realized that was the case. When I was thumbing through searching for the word Coventry I found loads about the game, some about the Why? protests. It was about 1:00 a.m. over here when I was trying to look, but I felt I was probably missing out by not knowing what the proper...

    Twitter reaction to Why?-When? protest

    For the first time ever, I wish I understood how to use twitter (someone on some post mentioned Coventry was "trending"). I tried searching around for a better feel of how the outside world responded to the match's signs. Are there any younger social media savy folk out there with the proper...
