We will only truly be happy when someone is going around the pitch firing T-shirts from a big T-shirt firing gun.

Been two a couple of NFL games where firing t-shirts into the crowd was very prominent. I hated it. The yanks lapped it up.

Well they’re gonna have to get rid of the leopard print training tops somehow.

i'm always amazed that stadiums aren't built to be more future proof.
we should be able to pop some or all of the roof off, add another layer, then pop the roof back on.

an afternoons work, worst case.

Meccano style!

What scope is there to add capacity and some stage in the future - ignoring the politics and ownership issues? It's penned in by the road and rail but another 10k seats might be doable...

Given how much of a white elephant that train station is, they could revisit building a proper one whilst extending the CBS at the same time and combining the two. A football stadium with an underground train station.

I know it will never happen, but it's a nice useless thought.

Maybe in the year 3000?

Other fanbases were expecting us to revert to having a half empty stadium after we lost in the play offs - So it will be particularly nice to stuff one up them whatever happens

The Coventry City of now is a different beast

Why dont we think of now giving the away fans less capacity, 2000 to 2500 and we have more

Nah, we'll be living underwater by then.

Who is going to be our Maud Flanders?

More work would need doing to the concourse but this should absolutely be something to consider going forward. At 3000, our away allocation is one of the biggest in the league. Fine for games we don't sell out, frustrating for games like West Brom, Boro and Sunderland where we could have sold another 1000 with ease.

There were lots of moments where we could doubt Fisher (he gave us plenty) but when he proposed that small stadium, he proved himself utterly unfit to run our club, showing a total lack of understanding of the club, the city and the fanbase.

There was a thread about how big our club was potentially. Plenty on here saying we would never fill the CBS and how we are really a small club with little potential. I was not one of them.

Doug needs to find a way to get that bit of block 9 open

It's not up to Doug, it's up to us - We need to storm the fucker a la the opening scenes of Saving Private Ryan.
But nine months is a hefty campaign and some of us won't be coming home.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

One of the last games of the season we had a row of stewards in our stand to separate the fans why not put then in the away fans and cut their numbers instead.

It's got to be safer for them to be with the home fans and there will surely be insurance consequences to make that change. I don't see how it helps one bit merely to squeeze out 50 or 100 extra home tickets.
