He has far bigger balls than those who slag him on faceless internet forums

No we wouldn't say it to his face because were all to scared. Get real.

Who do you think he is, a heavyweight boxing champion? The guys just a fat prick.

Fisher will get his comeuppance one day.

Not by any of the spineless yes men that have backed him down to sixfields though.

Did I say the opening was not a success??? ... Look it's normal, whenever a new store is opened, out of curiosity people will go and see what the new place looks like, others would purchase many items while they are there (remember Xmas around the corner) , some will just browse. That's Psychology for you. Just because there were large numbers of people there, that does not reflect how well the store will do in the next 12 months time. Most likely it would be no different than the CCFC official shop that were in West Orchard and at the Ricoh Arena, which as I recollect were always virtually empty on Saturdays.

I personally think this superstore is a waste of money while we sit in league one or maybe Championship next season and to top that a massive divide with the owners and its customers . Its all an expensive gimmick and a gamble, though I hope I am wrong and it is a success but I can't see it.

So no it is not desperation, its what I see happening hence why the new superstore does not excited me as yet.

On a positive note, it's showing maybe SISU are showing signs of having ambitions for the club by opening this superstore, but I won't hold my breath on it regarding the Ricoh or a new stadium.

Of course they do... but do we need a superstore when our past official stores were not exactly bustling with customers and were lot smaller? There priorites are all wrong. a small or medium size store would have been more sensible for now don't you think?

Playing at home in Coventry supersedes all this does it not???

Look, I honestly want the superstore to succeed, but I just can't see it happening. In the last 10 years we have not been playing in top flight, therefore in that time our fan base has got smaller and smaller and remember it gets even worse as we no longer have a home to play in. Many Coventry youngsters rather support Man Utd Chelsea, Arsenal.. etc .

Lets face the facts, with past failed management and running of this one's successful club by not just SISU but the Bastard Richardson has took us backwards 40 years as we stand.

Really, how many customers does CCFC have left that will fill and keep this superstore going all year round??

So it's win win for you then.
It fails - "Told you it would"
It succeeds - "I said I hoped I was wrong"

Then we get a new thread with a link to this one and you are an Internet hero for the day. I can't fucking wait.

No Hill,


If it fails, - Sadly I was right and I will not have the pleasure of saying I told you so. That's is not me. Sometimes silence consists of a thousand words.

If it Succeeds - "I will hold my hands up and admit it I got it wrong. Then I will happily post here to that effect.

What else do you want me to say Hill?????????????

Internet hero???????? Oh please grow up.

btw ... I put it on record to say that this superstore will not be reaching up to its full potential as expected . It will operate in the same way as with the other smaller official CCFC premises of the past, half empty in midweeks and weekend's.

TBH I went today at 10.30 to get my MK ticket and yes it was empty out of 7 punters 4 were buying tickets but to be fair that is always the way it has been.
The Ricoh was too far away as is the new one unless you live that side of the city.
Most people will only pop in if they are already there shopping.

Some of the stuff just on here that has been removed has been pretty heavy and I know if I was really rich and people said things like that I'd have prices on heads

That's a lot of flesh, though..laws of physics means that if the prick moves, the outer layers are sure to reach Valiant eventually.

True but haven't heard anything like that happening. There seems to be a disparaging myth that Fisher had disappeared from public. He hasnt.

But he has refused every invitation to talk publicly on CWR in the last 2 months. That's a fact, not a myth.

It won't reach it's potential until we've won the champions league, then it will be rammed with mancunians and cockneys glory fans desperate to get a ccfc replica shirt......




On a serious note, if we get back to the Ricoh, it would be better to only have the Ricoh shop open on matchdays and keep the 'Superstore' as the main store.

If you can run it with basically admin staff doing the tills, I don't see why you can't keep it open longer (and run just one shop). I'm sure there's stuff that needs doing and that seems to have been how it worked at the rent-an-office on Lockhurst Lane.

So people are moaning about the size of the store and that it won't be fully used but then they moan about SISU building a 15k or so stadium as it isn't very ambitious even though that is about right for our attendances? Maybe they are just being ambitious with the super store?

Is it open properly from now or was it an advance opening? I might have a squizz on Sunday. Outwith all the obvious mess and shit going on, the location of this is a dream. The club shop at the Ricoh seemed more isolated and you had to do that lap of the ground with the horrible speed bumps to get away. Fucking speed bumps.

Aren't the speed bumps at the Gallagher retail park even worse?
