To be fair, on the developments website, it said things going in there would represent Coventrys past, present and future.

I guess the Northampton programme covers our recent past....

Well the CT just clearly hate CCFC and are deliberately trying to unstable the club ahead of match day whereas the inevitable Mowbray out cries that will be on the phone in later isn't enough doom and gloom for CWR so have spun this story to keep the pointless moaning text and call count up.

Either that or it was an honest mistake.

No, no. I'm clearly being stupid. It's clearly the first one.

The CET must be playing at something, as it was so predictable a few hours ago what would happen

Just how much tin foil do you go through in your house? If you're not careful your mum is going to start thinking that you're a crack addict

Was I wrong earlier though when I said what the CET would do? (Apart from being slightly out about the time)

Channel your efforts at Sisu for giving us such a low profile that kids don't know we exist.

It actually says anyone can suggest items and the best ones will be selected and will be buried by pupils from selected school doesn't it?

So you're wrong, has nothing to do with school kids not knowing we exist.

Don't know. To be honest when we weren't in the time capsule the thread was moving so fast and I was at work so I didn't read every post. What did you say?

PS there was a winking man at the end. It was a tongue in cheek comment...

Even Tony has had to distance himself from the lies and prooaganda peddled by Italia.

I can't quite believe local residents actually put up with this sort of thing.

So we are in there after all.

Looks like you're going to need an industrial size vacuum cleaner to hoover all these feathers up Nick. If it helps I know M & J tool hire are open on Saturday mornings if it's too late for you to get up there tonight.

So it didnt bother you in the original reporting that us and the Rugby team had been missed out. I take it at that point you thought it was fair enough.

Who cares? Massive game tomorow and biggest thread on here is about a time capsule and if a City programme was in it. I really couldn't care less. City will be here in 50 years.

Go down the pub or watch a dvd or something. Jeez...

I smell BS.

The pics of what was going in on the CWR page were right before the stuff went in. If you watch the video you see them sealing the capsule and then burying it.

Now, 24 hours after CWR's initial post and the complaints starting and a full day since they were asked for comment and the CT ran the story we get told there was a program from months ago when we lost to a lower division side but that it had been missed of the list of contents and all the photos. Also hadn't been seen by any of the local media that were at the event where the contents were sealed into the capsule.

Lets face it, the thing is buried now so they could say anything was in it.

Exactly... If it was in thetre, a marketing company would have been straight out to clear it up. The council would have said that, rather than denying any responsibility.... Denying any responsibility for what, after all

You take it wrong. Don't do a Grendull, look at my first post on this thread if you want to know what I actually thought.

If you ask me some posters on here have been so crying out for a story like this because they don't like the poll results for the Wasps sub forum they didn't stop to think if this could be a mistake and took over this thread without being interested in what actually might be the case to try and prove a point. I still haven't had chance to read every post but some of them are nothing short of pathetic attempts to start/maintain a Wasps shouting match.

Well it demonstrates one thing to me.
The worst aspect of Fishers policy and tenancy of the hotseat
Fall all the faults of the arrangements in place and wrongs of how we got there, he has created a chasm which still remains between the Clubs very own support.
Gut renchingly sad IMO.
None I repeat none of the subsequent events nor contracts struck from his risking this clubs existence have been or were worth it
.
I find that the most heartbreaking element of the outfall of his leadership.
He should get his fat arse out of town and I can't believe we haven't driven him out.

What tit suggested that program!!!!
I don't want my club remembered for anything to do with the Northampton debarcle, aside the fact the fans stayed away making it an unviable idea. Also the thousands who marched in protest.
A picture of the March or a simple sky blue badge should have been in there.
As for the hissy fit in here by many over a bloody time capsule!!!!
Last time I heard about one of them was on blue Peter 30 years ago.
Let's just hope to God when they dig it up they will be amazed at how low we fell compared to where we will be then.
I'd rather we were missed out (by mistake) than that program though. Also it would have been a bloody mistake!!!!!!!!!
There isn't an evil woman in CCC towers stroking a cat (cat not the affectionate name for a cat) chuckling in an evil voice at striking a massive blow at SISU towers by excluding CCFC from the famous time capsule !!!!!!!
Listen to yourselves for a minute

While you acknowledged that it wasn't acceptable not to include ccfc or crfc, it is hardly an excuse to start a 'shouting match'.

Ccfc fans have been very passive throughout the while saga, IMO.

I think the councillors or the marketing company or Simon from the CET, will wait to 3 am and dig it up and plant the program in there tonight.
Or
They might just do nothing but snigger to themselves at getting one over SISU by pretending a program is in there when really it isn't!!

If it isn't they have chosen an odd programme to pretend is there? I was more disappointed to hear you hadn't been buried in the capsule.

Well. That's where we disagree and I'll tell you why.

For me as a CCFC fan the story (although untrue it seems in the end) was that CCFC wasn't included. On page one (some 8 long hours ago) it becomes evident very quickly that for some "CCFC fans" that isn't the story. Even some 6 long hours ago it's suggested that actually something CCFC related is actually in there (FP I believe) which is then quickly glossed over by some who clearly don't see CCFC being excluded as the story before carrying on with more drivel about Wasps inevitably pulling Italia into the mix to keep the fire's burning. Then all of a sudden things start calming down (presumably as more news starts bubbling through the knitting circle that actually something CCFC is included) and then I put a link up and with the exception of Nick everyone seems to have been called in for their tea by their mums.

At which point I (yes me) point out that actually the real shame is that nothing JH related went in (which really should have been the first thing on the list all things considered). Then all of a sudden a few people are starting to appear again (presumably they ate all their greens and have been allowed out to play again) but not with the obvious point about JH but claims like "it's buried now, they can say anything is in there that they want".

I think a section of our fan base has forgotten that they're CCFC fan's first and lost focus of the important things in life. Like remembering one of the most important people in the history of the club.

I think if they gave you permission to radar scan the ground it's buried underneath to prove that the ground hasn't been disturbed since the capsule was buried and then you personally dug it up by hand under the supervision of independent adjudicators, you confirmed that the seal had never been broken and you then personally opened it up to find exactly what we have been told is in there in there you still wouldn't believe it was originally in there.

I hope it's not. If it is we lost to Northampton so its a crap memory. Also it mentions the word Northampton bringing back far worse nightmares of a joke of a situation.

If it wasn't there now it it is then shame on you bloody lot for whinging about something so trivial that we now have a bad memory in there.

If it wasn't in there it would not have been due to an attempt to have a bloody pop!!! It would have been either someone didn't think about it or no one wrote in suggesting it.
SISU would not give a shit whether it's there or not.

If it wasnt there and now it is then I am annoyed with all you hypersensitive numpties and those idiots from Friargate developments for not having the balls to say. No one suggested it so no it isn't in there sorry deal with it.

At the end of the day it's a bloody time capsule!!!!!!!!

Get a grip

It will be getting mentioned in the hearing next week next !!!!!!!!

But that's just it isn't it,they haven't got one over on Sisu because Sisu won't give a shite. It's us they have got one over-the loyal, proud ,long suffering supporters of this great old club that has provided entertainment and inspiration to hundreds of thousands of working people over the last one hundred and twenty years.

It was sarcasm to point out the fact they would not have missed it out intentionally. As rightly so SISU would give a shit.
So this conspiracy stuff is bollox.

We went on the Croke Park tour during Ireland away in June. Amazing place. Absolutely massive. Around 80% of the English club crests on the wall are from here or London. Must say too that the way how the organisation is set up English Football could learn a lot. Some great ideas.

Time for you to start a thread saying how proud you are of ACL and the Council isn't it?

Could have been worse than Northampton - could have had a picture of Thorns ugly mug - then again you'd be digging it up then I suppose
