The thing is that all clubs seem to have success at some stage, winning league 1 or league 2, getting to the play offs, having a good cup run. We have had nothing, for thirty years. The years before 1987 were pretty barren too, hence the 40 years statistic. I think that we are the least...

Clive Eakin mentioned last night that Fisher will again not be on the phone in on Friday. Is this a) because he can't be bothered b) because he doesn't want the inevitable flak c) because something is happening behind the scenes or d) none of the above.Let' hope it is c).

I said, tounge in cheek, on another thread that the ideal would be someone buying CCFC and Wasps. Then amalgamate Wasps and CRFC, call them Coventry and get them playing in blue and white! We would have two Coventry teams playing at the Ricoh, one of them a premiership rugby team. On a more...

Leicester and Derby have the same soulless shell. They seem to have done alright after their ground moves. Depends how the move is managed. Sisu have had more than enough time to have sorted out the mess left by others. The fact is they have made it far, far worse.

Where do you get your figures on the budget from?

What about actually trying to increase turnover so that the break even figure is higher. How about starting that that process by not alienating the fan base, by actual genuine engagement with them rather than continual lies and misinformation. The problem with Sisu's model is that the break even...

I would bet that the infrastructure at Forest Green, Tranmere and Wrexham is all on a more professional level than ours which is sort of the point he was making. Do you disagree with the central point of his post?

I caught the tail end of the JH era, started going in the promotion season. I don't think anything will rival those 6 years he was manager. However, I would agree with you. The Fergie Wallace team in that season was the best I ever saw, better even than the cup winning team. It was just such a...

The Norwich game was wonderful. Norwich came back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 by half time I think. We then lead 4-3 and 5-4 before Jim Blyth's last minute penalty save. Ian Wallace scored an amazing overhead kick but my favourite goal was scored by Bobby MacDonald who bent the ball into the net...

Sorry only just seen this. Proves what I said above. Some people love to slate Their own fans. Don't know why.

Last half century takes you back to 1966. We had an average of 28000 in 66-67. The 3 seasons following promotion we had average gates of over 30000. Over the years we have had many gates of over 30000. The Fergie- Wallace season of the late seventies saw an average of over 23000. Stands to...

You should look at the average gates and also the high gates for the late sixties. You are completely wrong.

Average crowds were never that low. The big difference was that anything he did he did it in what he thought would be the the best interests of the club. Yes, he made mistakes second time around. You exaggerate the anti JH feeling of the time. Amazing that if he was so reviled he always had...

I think the boy involved in the incident was a Coventry fan who was a Geordie and actually lived in Newcastle.

It would not be the same if we actually have owners who care and who are honest. Straight away you have a big improvement. If you think the only thing wrong with Sisu is that they don't throw money around you are way off the mark.

I did say no proof but history so far has shown no club our size has gone to the wall, therefore not quite the contradiction you make out. If you are right what we are left with then is death a few years down the line with Sisu or death because Sisu have given up or liquidated and there is no...

I've had a season ticket every season since 1971, Northampton excepted. This is my club, I will never stop supporting it no matter what happens. However, I am nor sure I will renew my two STs next year. That is not because of the crap football. I am used to that. This may be the only way I can...

Still with us, still in the league. Have owners that care about them Arguably on the way up. I would certainly swap places with them now. They have hope. We don't.

Can you name a club as big as us that has faded away? I suppose it depends on how you define "big". You could say we are a third division club with gates of 9000 and are therefore small fry. However, history, tradition and potential supporter base has to be taken into consideration. I can't...

i can't see this mentioned anywhere else on here but apologies if I have missed it. At the end of the phone in there was a call from the chap who is the chair of the Diamond Club. I think his name was Ray. He really laid into the SCG saying that it is made up of people who are to afraid to...
