It's only Sisu and about 6 on here that need to move on.
Stop the JR and get into a favourable deal with Wasps before they change their mind.

I can't forgive them until they have finished their cunning plan.

He is still right. A brilliant quote from him.

"Anyone who can't accept a legal judgement from a high court judge isn't looking for a fair result."

Something like that. I couldn't agree more. Coventry city with a bit of investment could still be a big club.

So you've not 'moved on' then. You just think those who don't agree with you should.

If only Robinson moved on in 2001 and allowed the club to go into administration at that point. Perhaps then a sane person would have ditched the Arena idea altogether!

Absolutely. The Arena has been a disaster since conception.

If I could have 'liked' this twice, I would. Oh, for a few pints in the Humber 'Hotel' and a wobble across the park to Highfield Road.....

Ironic when you could arguably blame Robinson for a fair chunk of our issues now.

I think I actually miss the Humber more than some of the footie on offer at HR! But yes - if only we could wind the clock back.

Don't worry, Sixfields never happened, we also never sold wilson, clarke, etc. No point dwelling on the past, look forward to Rochdale.

Italia had moved on within 24 hours of ccc selling their shares to wasps....

There was a terrific punch up in there once. Landlord's brother (as I recall) got out of prison and came straight to the pub to even things out with his brother - who he accused of playing some role in sending him down. At least that's what I think he was shouting as he picked up a pool cue and stated smashing up the bar. Good times!

I agree SISU and CCC should move on, lets us fans pass the time arguing about the right and wrong of whats happened. Either start getting serious about a new stadium or begin negotiation about buying into the Ricoh and getting revenue streams.

The current state of limbo is damaging and destabilising.

The one and only place I have ever got asked for I.D. And I had been drinking there for about 3 years. Someone had told the boss I was underage. So I showed him my driving licence. It was my 18th birthday and had gone in quickly with a mate for my first legal pint

At some point everyone needs to move on and look in a forward direction. We need to get back to the needs of CCFC and that being important to everyone but especially to whoever owns and supports CCFC. Doesn't look like we are at that point though
