After 15 years of under achievement and downward spiral, who wouldn't feel like giving up? We'd dropped out of the old top flight like a stone in '85 and despite every year thinking we'd be getting back to the big time we contrived to get worse until we found ourselves in the third tier. Twice...

External voice here, feel free to ignore if you want. Back in 2000 Stoke were penniless, in the third tier and renting the then Britannia Stadium. As a lad I watched my team lift the Micky Mouse trophy at the old Wembley. Having been too young to watch us win a 'proper' top tier trophy at...

Can I ask a genuine question? The article says "The land surrounding the stadium that is ripe for development may well be tempting". Is that really true? As far as I can see from Google maps there's a triangular patch of empty land the other side of the railway, but apart from that it's hemmed...

Sweet Jesus, never before have I seen somebody well and truly miss the point of a post so badly. I hope there are keener minds than yours coming to your club's aid. Anyway, good luck in your fight folks. PUSB.

Yeah, we were fortunate for sure. The point I'm making though is that you may or may not be lucky and get a decent buyer out of this whole administration fiasco. If I were you I'd be looking at contingency plans for the continuation of football in the city of Coventry, which in your case is...

Fifteen years ago we were in the third tier with dwindling support and a council owned stadium. We were fortunate to be bought out by a chairman with enough cash to buy the stadium and hence we now are where we are. But hey, bicker away and reject outsider observations if you want.

Reading football message boards is often an exercise in futility. But yours seems more futile than most at the moment. Your club is imploding around your ears and here you all are point scoring in the great SISU vs. ACL "I told you so" game. It's utterly pointless bickering from your...

Rushden & Diamonds or Hinkley is one thing, but Port Vale? Jesus Christ, I'd rather share with rats. They ought to focus on finishing their ground first before tarting it around to clubs on their uppers, as if you don't have enough to deal with already. Fortunately for you it's all bluster...

One thing I was going to add to that, is once you get past what we Stoke fans like to call 'The Chris Karmara, Brian Little and Alan Ballocaust' then you might have some 'Lou Macari' years to look forward to. Of the last nearly 30 years of football, those Macari years being promoted from Div 3...

Hello Cov fans, By no means a gloating post, more of a 'been there, done that' from a fellow fan. I've been reading this forum for a while now with increasing alarm. No fans deserve to lose their club as you are threatened with doing. As a Stoke fan raised in Kenilworth, whilst all around...
