But it is cool as anything to go onto a forum of a 3rd division football club all the time to defend a rugby club and a council. Why would you do that then?
Well that's your opinion.
Personally I think its pathetic to base your life around a 3rd division football club.
Pathetic, won't be attending Butts ever. PUSB!
You really are a wanker.

Are you suggesting that only those that agree with your views should be allowed to post?

Not really sure why they comment makes him a wanker? There are plenty of others to choose from, but confused by that one?
That would make it a very lonely place.
Calling somebody pathetic for going to watch a rugby match.
It's a forum for people who support the same club-talking in favour of those who've helped shaft it is just a bit odd.
Calling somebody pathetic for going to watch a rugby match.
Although I think fair play to anybody supporting local teams, I am not too sure why people come onto a football forum to go on about how they went to a Rugby match?
What are you talking about now? Are you just plucking random things out of the air now?
It wasn't me saying it was pathetic for people to base their life around a 3rd division football team. To which I asked does it make it ok to spend hours going onto a 3rd division football team defending other parties.
Where in that does it say people can't have their views and post them?
Ok. I will be sure to PM you all my rantings in future for you to approve the content before I post them.
I never accused you of running the forum in a dictatorial way, just in that post that is how it sounded.
You suggested that I "Spend all my time defending a rugby club and the Council".
That comes across as though the content of my postings are not suitable for this forum.
It didn't sound like that at all? Only to you maybe.
I just find it strange how you would find it pathetic people love CCFC and their life revolves around it, I am pretty sure there are still some like that yet you spend hours on here? Not that you aren't welcome to share your point, as everybody is. I just don't understand it?
I said it was odd not that it should be censored off the website.
You really are a wanker.
I think the thread should have been titled "The right choice for me".
I never thought the day would come when I’d choose to watch Cov Rugby at The Butts on the same day CCFC were playing at home. That day came yesterday and I have absolutely no regrets.
The game had everything you want to see from a sporting spectacle and I’ve never felt so proud of my home city since we lifted the cup in 87.
A rip-roaring hard fought game with passion, commitment and desire from both sides, the lead swung to and fro until a thunderous finish from Cov. It was a breathtaking performance against the odds and against a fully professional Ealing outfit. The team spirit of Cov made me immensely proud and that played a huge part in inflicting Ealing’s first loss of the season.
The excitement throughout the game is something that I’ve not felt when watching the football for a very, very long time. It’s exactly what I want do get out of a sporting match day experience.
Furthermore, it is an absolute pleasure to be able to buy a pint at pub prices, and be able to freely walk around the stadium with it and mix and talk with opposing fans. No police, no brainless stewards that have no ability to think or are capable of making decisions and no rip-off catering, everything that spoils match day experience at football games.
I can only imagine the game against Walsall was a dour, turgid goal-less bore draw. I can imagine myself sitting there feeling utterly dejected with what I would be seeing. Contrast that to yesterday’s rubgy when I’ve never felt so enthusiastic or been so animated.
Until there are signs that the quality of football and entertainment value improve with CCFC, then its Cov Rugby from me now on. At £15 a pop, there’s no comparison.
We don’t have a fixture next Saturday and I would seriously recommend anyone at a loose end to get themselves down to The Butts next Saturday when Cov Rugby host high flying Fylde.

While I get where you're coming from it's not something I could do personally. I support CCFC (not saying you don't!) and no one else, so I would find it impossible to go and do something else when I know I could be watching my team. I'm sure I would see more exciting football, fantastic players and brilliant goals if I went to see a Premiership game. However, it wouldn't be Coventry City so it wouldn't be for you.
Good luck to you and all that, but it's CCFC for me, no matter how you feel. I see you could "imagine" what is was like without actually being there too. Nice trick.
Torch, it's all about personal choice. The only Football team I follow is Coventry City, no interest in any Premier team or anyone eles. Being at the Butts is a great experience, very different from a football match and I think that all that Norman is saying is give it a go as not City game.
No, I get that, which is fair enough. It's the "I imagine it was shit at CCFC" bit that rankles me. If you want to move on, then fine.

I think the original poster is saying the matchday experience is better at the Butts.
Football in general needs to up its game on that issue, the plastic overpriced beer and food being a good part of the problem.
Also, I can't understand why there is no attempt to sell food & drink from the aisles, you know those tray vendors, is it down to some safety regulation nonsense?
