A bad week - but tomorrow we make our voice heard (1 Viewer)

Ricoh Area is a great stadium. Stadium design nothing to do with lack of atmosphere. That's down to the Coventry fans themselves who are hardly passionate or committed enough for the size of the club and city. However due to the pathetic record of Coventry its hardly surprising the crowds are lower than you would expect of a city the size of Coventry.

We are in league one because of SISU. We will stay in League one or lower unless we move back home.

IMHO, Ricoh 2/3's full had a better atmosphere than Highfield road did in the many of the later years of HR.

Ricoh Arena isn't that hard to get to. I think people have got soft. 30 minutes walk for a lot of Coventry on the North and East side of Coventry. Yes the west side its a bit futher. Plenty of buses go there. Not everyone lives in Coventry anyway.

I judge "the Northampton MOVE AS PURELY a commercial tactic by SISU" similar to that the JR Judge said about Rent withdrawl.

Put it this way.

If someone said 27 years ago. You can have a FA cup win but you will have to move to some crap place in Northampton in the future to serve some commercial tactics
or
NOT have our glorious day in the Wembley sun in May 1987 but stay in Coventry forever.

I would definitely take the LATTER.

The only thing to contradict myself is the FACup is permanent and SISU are just a TEMPORARY nightmare.

We will be back to the RICOH one day.

SISU will eventually leave or maybe even liquidate Coventry City but they will NEVER win , Coventry CITY will survive in some form.

Just no idea what your problem is or who you represent.

And whilst Sisu are here CCFC will never win anything. Sisu don't know how to win, only lose.

Hopefully we will soon be rid of the Frank Spencer of the hedge fund world and we can begin to rebuild.

Reading that para by para was like watching a penalty shoot out. I scored it 5-5 between points that I agreed with and those I thought were complete bollocks. That's pretty balanced. We are into sudden death now, your next comment determines which way this goes....

I don't want to cause unnecessary hassle to the guy or his family right now but Jimmy Hill did indeed give us up didn't he? He went off to be a telly pundit and packed in Managing us just as he got us to the Old First Division.

There were mitigating reasons he did that, not going into the detail but you have to remember Derrick Robins was a bit of a tyrant

Stop being mean Grendel - if we're name-dropping, I once met a VERY drunk Clive Thomas in my Uncle's night club in Wales - he signed my blue and red City silk scarf (remember those?) then gave a penalty against us next time we played with him reffing (B*st*rd) - sorry to go off topic!!

AGREED! Just gave a whoop like at Murphs pen in the paintpot last year dropped me one pound pie and all.

There are mitigating reasons for everything other than the random cosmic background weirdness of the universe. Most of them involve fame and fortune.
