probably can’t afford too
Is it bad that i am at rhe point where i actually want them to take the Club Crest down?
I dont actually want us associated with that cesspit now. Probably the anger talking
@Tom Leach any comment? Surely as a Coventry city fan you will be pressuring your employer to ask wasps to drop the NDA (maybe even help run a campaign about it)
He is trying to find a positive wasps spin. Got to earn that £££
I know and I really shouldn't tag him for the nth time asking the same question but I'm just so frustrated that we have someone on here who claims to be a city fan and had the power to try and change things but doesn't. Look at Pete and Mark, they have achieved so much more than the local press in getting answers, it all stinks to high heaven
Pigs might fly. Wasps get a free ride . CCFC ownership get challenged on everything (often rightly so ).@Tom Leach any comment? Surely as a Coventry city fan you will be pressuring your employer to ask wasps to drop the NDA (maybe even help run a campaign about it)

But a completely inconsistent approach to the 2 clubs.
That's exactly it, it's the inconsistency that boils my blood so much. The telegraph ran a very successful campaign when we were in Northampton to get us back and they very rightly pressured sisu at every turn. But you are right, they will do fuck all and when wasps refuse to drop the NDA they will say that they have every right to and not question it
Dear Sir, As someone who remembers well both the 1954-55 and 1955-56 seasons at Highfield Road, I wish to rectify six inconsistencies, doubts or untruths contained in the testimony above: 1 - You say this was your second post. I can find no evidence of a first post. 2 - although it is true that is a long time since 1946, it seems most unlikely if you are claiming that you have been lurking here for the past 74 years 3 - although rudimentary floodlights were first installed in 1953, they were not of a type that you could hang off. The floodlights on pylons in the corners of the ground were not installed until 1957. 4 - Coventry City didn't play against Notts County in 1955. It could not have been in the League as Coventry City were in the Third Division South between 1954 and 1956. Notts County were in the Second Divison at that time. it could not have been in the Cup since Coventry City went out in the first round on 19th November 1955 beaten at Highfield Road 0-1 by Exeter City. It could not have been in the League Cup since that competition did not commence until the 1960-61 season. 5 - not a single game at Highfield Road in 1955 was attended by 50,000 spectators. The record crowd at the ground was on 29 April 1967 when 51,455 watched the Second Division title decider against Wolverhampton Wanderers. This was over 6,000 more than the previous record set against Aston Villa in 1938. 6 - Season tickets for travel were invented in the nineteenth century and season tickets for football date back at least to the 1920s. If you did indeed have a season ticket in the 1920s when football season tickets were invented, I put it to you, that you, as a man already of mature years, had no legitimate business in 1955 to be carried on your elderly great grandfather's shoulders. In fact, I put it to you that you were not carried at all! This whole narrative is a fiction designed to mislead and deceive the goodly supporters of this club. I urge you to desist from writing a further dishonest post, you unspeakable lurker!It's only my 2nd post on here but long time lurker. I've been going up the city since 1946 when my great grandad first carried me there on his shoulders after a 24 hour shift in the mines. I remember when I was hanging off a floodlight when we beat Notts County 4-1 in '55 in front of 50,000 cov fans but you couldn't tell which team was which because it was all in black and white. Anyway, I've had enough of the politics and lies from SISU. Even though i've had a season ticket every year since season tickets were invented (except for Sh*tfields) I'm jacking it in. SISU should just do a deal so we can all watch cov in cov. Away games only for me this year.
but you couldn't tell which team was which because it was all in black and white

Asked again to produce the evidence, he simply responded: “I am happy to stand by what Gary and I have said.”
He added: “Public opinion is firmly on our side and will remain so.”
Don't dump Jimmy in the Coventry Canal! We won't get the credit. SAFC will claim they did it.Jimmys statue & CREST
Ok when are we removing these ?

I've got a lot of time for Tom, seems a breath of fresh air to what's gone before.
Let's see if his paymasters allow him to do his job rather than rein him in so as not to upset their friends at Wasps.
Isnt the deadline a bit pointless though? They Initially said that we could return at anytime. Surely this is a bit sensationalist?
I’m aware of that but the club could have said ages ago - yeah put us down at St. Andrews. We might change thoughThe deadline was to know for the start of the season.
It's not really sensationalist to point out Wasps knew full well but just made things difficult up until that deadline
I’m aware of that but the club could have said ages ago - yeah put us down at St. Andrews. We might change though
That’s fine. But they could have just said, we had a deadline to announce a stadium - we’re currently announcing St Andrews, however talks are on-goingThey were being pressured to announce.
