Hillsborough 1987 semi v Leeds. I had no alcohol (often a key factor to enjoying the atmosphere), stood right at the top left of the kop with a superb view of pitch & SBA.

SISU...reasonable...compromise...errr - that's not going happen then is it?

...& you might be right. All I'm saying is that the FL are not in a position to divulge ANY information about the plans IF they actually have any. So asking them to divulge it is either a bit naive or a contrived attempt to make them look silly...which they need no help with.

Don't think many were anything other than thankful at the time. Me included - as I've pointed out many times previously. They (headed by your hero Joy) have since sullied the name of our club through their antics to get the Ricoh at a steal. Personally I applaud what I believe their aim is - to...

They have not said they haven't seen any evidence. They are pointing out that it is outside of their remit to share any details of whatever they may (or may not) have seen. Any enlightening information on the issue is the club's owners to divulge...otherwise they are setting themselves up for a...

You might be right...but almost the complete opposite thinking - could it be that this is being done specifically to make us a more attractive sale?

I do agree with your sentiment...although at least this is a slightly more transparent way of doing things. There is one owning company, one board...before we enter the tangled web - a good sign that we are on the periphery of the web rather than in the middle of it (at least that's how it seems...

And it did a job for them...3pts to our none. It was always going to happen, someone sometime playing strong-arm tactics to beat us. It will happen much more often from now on too I would guess. Now we must settle down for the real battle as we might well toil in through the long winter months...

I agree that this would work too...though I think rubbishing another club because of our plight might not go down well in some quarters & actually lose us sympathy!

Just giving a straight simple answer to the straight question.

We wanna go home We wanna go home We are from Coventry We wanna go home

If the club rents the Ricoh...it is conceivable the revenue generated on match days would benefit us under FFP rules. Owning the Ricoh means increased costs in mainaining it & employing those that make it work, BUT profit from concerts conferences etc would also be classified as revenue for the...

Nobody knows who is talking to who, about what nor any offering...if indeed anyone IS talking to anyone else at this stage. It might be that someone somewhere HAS managed to get this situation by the scruff of the neck - & do things IMO properly - privately rather than publicly (which they are...

Thing is the game is not played fairly throughout. Cheating is rife & takes many forms. Diving is just the more obviously damaging as a penalty may result. It goes much deeper...even down to appealing for a throw-in through habit (or sense of duty even in some cases I'm sure!) despite knowing...

I can assure you that in the unlikely event of a massive positive change in my financial fortunes...I may consider going - in the more likely event that my financial fortunes will not change...the thought of going there will not cross my mind.

I think we can call this one NOPM vs NOPM Fundamentalism!

Once you are in these places...after 24hrs if you venture outside in the heat - all you really want to drink is water anyway!

That's a good point! They don't speak Farse (or Farsi!) - it's Arabic. The event is, as usual, being dissed by the media at every turn. Even our own Olympics was dissed by some right up to the opening ceremony. No doubt the political footballing people fuel this so that it suppresses...

Bit of an obtuse argument for me that one...they'd get that money whether people listen or not. Just the same with Sky money. WE have no choice but to support them through the BBC due to TV licence fees, & taxes.

Teams are always going to try harder to contain our danger men...that's when extra quality in other positions has to be called upon & shine through (Moussa/Blair for example)...but other days we will hopefully make more of those other chances created.
