    The Good Business Sense of SISU

    Don't they need to go first before this can happen? Part of the problem has been that our influence as fans is very limited, protests have a limited effect, some people taking a NOPM stance. Despite everything done and said they are still here. How can we have any influence in the direction of...

    Brighton / Coventry

    I seem to remember to that in some of their darker days that they would have a certain nominated game in a season where fans of other clubs would attend a Brighton game wearing their own clubs shirt as a sign of unity and support. Maybe we might even get SUFC or SAFC fans coming to one of our...

    Brighton / Coventry

    I think that of all the clubs that have been in trouble over the past 20 years or so Brighton, as you say, were in the position most similar to ours. Shocking owners, ground sold from under them, having to play home games 60 miles away. They have survived all of that plus nearly going out of the...

    Tim Fisher: Fun Facts

    Tim's favourite programme when he was growing up was the lunchtime legal drama Crown Court. This gave him the vast and comprehensive knowledge of the whole British legal system that he has today. It allowed him to declare with confidence and authority that the judge was "wrong in fact and in Law."

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I have a smile to myself (or even a slightly manic chuckle) when I hear they have lost. Particularly pleased when they went out of the European competition to Leinster a few weeks ago. Childish I know, but I can't help it. Talking to some people (2 separate occasions) who have bought season...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I know this is going around in the same old circles , but one last time, if Sisu hadn't taken the club to Northampton ( and remembering that this was for their own ends, not for the good of CCFC), Wasps would not be here.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I'm not sure what you mean by pre Sisu. All I am saying is that Sisu had the chance to nnegotiate a deal that was in the best interests of themselves and of CCFC. They chose not to do this.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I don't agree with the club moving at all. It is simply ironic that Sisu's underhand tactics worked to Wasps advantage by leaving ACL in a weakened position. A move that has proved catastrophic for CCFC. Why would any City fan be pleased about that? it is also amazing what you can achieve when...

    Pick a decent league 2 team + Target signings

    I felt that the team against Charlton was a goal scorer away from being a good third division team.Therefore they should be very good in Division 4. Robins has transformed them from the Southend game( the worst game and performance I have ever seen) into a team that look like they can win games...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    The fact is that Wasps negotiated their terms, did Sisu even try? Sisu also helped in the Wasps deal by distressing ACL.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    City always had the option to buy half but Sisu didn't take up the option.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Certainly not excusing Sisu's part in this because without Sisu and their Northampton shenanigans there would be no Wasps.

    Champs

    I remember it well. Happy days. There was a feeling that our club could reach the very top, in those days not an unattainable dream. "City, City, City Champions" was a realistic prospect.(chant of the day).

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Agreed this opened the door for Wasps but until they arrived it was ours for the taking.

    Crazy Stats For Next Season

    I am sure that if we had a game like Portsmouth did this weekend against Plymouth at the business end of the season we would get a 20 k plus attendance.

    Ogrizovic retiring end of season

    I never felt that Hedman was anywhere near as good as Oggy. Whereas Oggy would always put his head in where it hurt, as witnessed by his frequently broken nose, Hedman was always a lot less likely to damage his good looks. I think their respective employment and life styles since they both...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Wasps arrival in Coventry was supposed to have no adverse effect on the two existing clubs. I cannot see how Wasps being here has any positive effect on the football club. Their arrival has, on the face of it, taken away any chance of us owning the stadium that was built for us. With regard to...

    Identical?

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Wasps being here can be directly linked to Sisu taking us to Northampton. It is down to Sisu that they are here. However I think that they are as much of a franchise as MK Dons and have left the communities in which they started and who supported and kept them going. They have no affinity or...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    When Sisu first took over, like most City fans, I was pleased. I thought it was a new beginning with wealthy owners. Did you realise and say at the time what a disaster Sisu were going to be? Elliot and Hoffman involved in the running of the club or continue with Sisu? You would sooner have...
