It is a town though? It's a part of Greater London which is classified as its county
Brentford isn't a city/town in its own right, it's just an area of London.
Well... the city of London is one square mile.Brentford isn't a city/town in its own right, it's just an area of London.

Brenmtford is a defined place. Brentford is Brentford.
tbf I kind of agree with your general point, I was splitting hairsOkay, I'll accept I'm wrong on that one. My only excuse is I failed O level geography
6 miles thing. Fisher probably sought clarification regarding a new ground at some stage.
I reckon they would stretch it to 9 (Nuneaton) to keep us in the league, but don't you think no player would join us who was any good, so we end up bust anyway, just slowly. better a quick death and start again
Solihull moors are in the process of making their stadium football league standard would that be an option 12miles from the centre of Coventrytbf I kind of agree with your general point, I was splitting hairs
Although it's fraught with difficulty. What's acceptable? Brandon? Baginton by Tollbar? Rugby? Shipston on Stour? The Ricoh's barely in the city, after all... but Northampton's a bit off!
Can't believe I'd almost forgotten this classic. Griff Rhys Jones's Cyril whatsisname piss take is spot on too.

Bit of a tough sell among our fanbase!Interesting thread.
So basically the real issue with us going out of existence is how tightly the EFL apply their non-existent rules?
That’s possibly the best thing. Rather than targeting theee rather large, unconcerned distant organisations (Wasps/Sisu/CCC), surely it’d be better to target the EFL and the owners of other clubs grounds in the local area?
“GIVE CCFC A PLACE TO STAY”
Would be a totally different feeling if fan driven than Sixfields, hopefully meaning less trouble for the tenant and more fans for CCFC while stuff is sorted.
Later stuff can target Wasps/Sisu for a permanent solution to the ground (“Build a ground”/“Give is a long term deal”). But the immediate focus can be on people that *will* respond to media criticism/MP waffling (the EFL) and who have heart strings to tug (other fans rather than the owners specifically).
Would people get behind a ground share to buy us some time?

What a load of old shite that was! Just listened back.
“Until we have blood coming out of our eyes” what on earth is that about? SISU agave no emotional connection to the club or the City, even extinction wouldn’t end with blood on their eyes!!
As for Danny Murphy, prick!
Relieved nothing he says has any truth in it.He's on, just said he's leading a consortium that are buying the club from sisu, an offer has been accepted but it means he becomes full owner.
Thoughts?
Actually Danny...practically every CCFC fan already has a copy of '87 & watches it with tears in their eyes, dreaming of what might have been.
If we had played in, & had a good run in Europe in '88 things might have been very very different. Sadly, we will bever know.

I like how you can tell that he has a classical education from the language that he uses. I remember reading about a graphic plague in Roman times in Tacitus which culminated in "bleeding from the eyes" and also of course, Oedipus stabbed his own eyes out with needles. Cos he'd killed his dad and shagged his mum and felt just terrible about it. Not sure that Tim's being allegorical here, but you never know...Will do everything we can til we have blood coming out of our eyes to play in Coventry

So a lot of anticipation, excitement and build up to be let down after 2 minutes.
Doesn't sound familiar at all

If we get kicked from the league would the golden share be taken back?
The needle returns to the start of the song. The owners have had so long to sort it out and haven’t they need to move on if they can’t sort it. It’s tricky for the efl cause they don’t want to allow franchise sport and they want to support the history of the team but how long can they wait for a resolution? The new ground should be ready soon surelyInteresting thread.

It goes to whichever clubs are in the EFL.If we get kicked from the league would the golden share be taken back?
Notts County May get a reprieve then!It goes to whichever clubs are in the EFL.
So normally whichever club(s) are relegated from L2 to the Vanarama lose theirs and the club(s) promoted to L2 take their place(s) and shares.
If a club was kicked out they would adjust promotion and relegation to suit the situation to maintain 72 clubs in the EFL.
Sure they will be full of thanks to us if they do.Notts County May get a reprieve then!
