    Time for common sense from us fans!

    If CCFC ever sell out Sixfields it is safe to say they would have got double, x3 or x4 that total for the same game at the Ricoh. So, it makes zero commercial sense to be playing there. Unless that is not their short term aim? Think about it.

    Stuart Linnell is a Muppet !!!

    As I see it NOPM is very simple. Fans do not give any money to the club until 1) the team plays home games in Coventry Some fans add a second aim 2) SISU sell up and leave. Now, as with any campaign there will be a range of approaches from literalist/ fundamentalists who go to great...

    Stuart Linnell is a Muppet !!!

    I think Linnell has not yet admitted that the NOPM fans make up about 90%. He seems to give the impression that it is split pretty evenly. As such he misrepresents the feelings of the fans. Someone needs to ask him directly, "Stuart, do you accept the vast majority of fans support NOPM?" Then...

    Stuart Linnell is a Muppet !!!

    I agree that Linnell was not fair and balanced tonight. I stopped the car and listened very closely. Try listen again at 35 to 45 minutes in. He was sympathetic and courteous to the chap who spoke about enjoying the match at Northampton and, kind of congratulated him for being a loyal fan. When...

    Council Leader Has No Intention Of Resolving City Issue - MEP

    I take it this is in jest? The misogyny on here is getting as bad as GMK !) Is it possible to have a thread in which a woman is mentioned without Insult it OR Comment on whether you want to sh@g it ?

    Les Reid interviewing Greg Clark today

    The FL, like the FA, and other sporting governing bodies, are not accountable and open to scrutiny like other public bodies. Their relationship to governments is a peculiar one, and very convenient for them to hide behind and make their rules up as they go along. This is at the heart of our...

    Ideas to keep pressure on?

    How about trying to get the Keep Cov in Cov message onto TV as much as possible. 1) Send a few on transfer deadline day to each of the big clubs training grounds or stadium wherever the cameras are with banners etc 2) Same with live Prem games when they do that vox pop thing before the game...

    The end of my 35 year + CCFC "home" habit.

    Much the same for me, actually. Been going for 40 years, seasn ticket most of those years. On Sunday I will be at the Ricoh. I will try to get to a few away matches but will not watch a "home" game outside the city. I will return when we are back in Coventry. Sad but disillusioned.

    Charity match update

    Underestimation I think. Many people at work, on holiday, no transport to Ricoh just for a ticket will pay on the gate, including me and as many as I can drag there. We will go late morning. I will be amazed if attendance is less than 15,000 and fully expect close to 20,000.

    "Save Chip"

    KEEP COV IN COVENTRY is catchy and memorable. It would make some people think about what the COV means for a second, long enough to be remembered and have an impact.

    "Save Chip"

    It was John 3, verse 16. Nothing about sheep and wolves! As it has been described as the Gospel in a nutshell it has been prominently displayed at sporting events throughout the world for many years. In USA it is also everywhere you can imagine, disposal drinks cups, napkins, flyers, toilet...

    The draw of The Ricoh...

    As you say it's about money. Most footballers couldn't find Northampton on a map. They just turn up at Ryton and get on a coach. This will just be an hour earlier than previously. That is all that will affect them. Exceptions will be the boys from Coventry area. I feel sorry for them.

    As a true Old Timer

    Chin up skybluealan. Am I alone in feeling we have let down the generation who inspired most of us to follow City? It will sound cliched to the young but my dad watched City before the war and he will be turning in his grave down Canley, with what's going on. The baby boomers have been a right...

    Sisu masterplan

    The club get all the ticket money 10,000 fans paying £15 per game x 25 games = £3.75 million That is how much money we will lose for the sake of about £ 100,000 in Food and drinks profits at Ricoh subtracted from £400,000 rent. The figures are approximate but it makes no sense.
