    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    After all the conjecture and protraction he'd better score 3 in the first half today or the knuckle draggers on Facebook will be slaughtering him, Robins and demanding Ponti be recalled immediately- actually surprised some aren't writing him off already

    In The Times today

    Ordinarily I am fairly ambivalent to England matches as they are invariably boring, meaningless friendlies or dull qualifying games however if I was to compare England winning the World Cup to Cov scraping out of Div 4 via a play off - sorry no comparison. Winning the world cup is a once in a...

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    There is no loyalty in football be it clubs to players, players to clubs even fans to players. Clubs want instant success, players want to maximise earnings in a relatively short window so it's not really surprising that these things happen. Only surprise is that some folk get all worked up about it

    Maddison

    The idiotic cretinous knuckle draggers embarrassing themselves and their fellows fans on twitter are a disgrace. Maddison is a very talented kid who has raised his game to a new level last season and deservedly gets a chance to try his luck at the highest level. Leicester are no longer rivals -...

    Civic reception

    Being exiled in Cheshire I couldn't make it down for the parade but looks and sounds like another great bonding exercise between the club and the fans. The re-routing to honour the tragic Platt-May family was a terrific gesture and congratulations to whoever made that decision - it is these...

    Lee Burge

    Before the game I said to my mate (a Wolves fan up for the day) that our keeper was dodgy and prone to the odd mistake - after the game he was questioning my assessment in no uncertain terms saying he looked bloody good. I agree that he has matured and there maybe bigger priorities

    Fisher

    Here's hoping he crawls back under whatever rock he has been hiding for the past 12 months and lets Robins and Boddy just get on with the job. Bridges have started to be built between the fans and the club and his reappearance will destroy that in a heartbeat. We are on a fragile upward...

    Fisher

    Fisher is the chief architect of our downfall along with an owner who does not care one iota about the club except as an irritation and vehicle for potential legal actions. The club has generated its own revenue and (for once) invested in wisely in Robins and some players good enough to get out...

    Go for it, go for it City!

    A win today could be the start of a new era for City. The Checkatrade was a nice distraction but promotion is actually real success - something we haven't experienced for years and something tangible to build on.

    Would promotion bring some supporters back

    Things have definitely improved since Dave Boddy came in with a more club centred approach. Has helped that Fisher has disappeared into the background and SISU / Council / Wasps crap has not been so prevalent. Overall I believe people are just fed up with the whole "political" nonsense and are...

    Would promotion bring some supporters back

    I believe our illustrious owners will not invest one single bean more than they have to to keep club alive whilst they pursue their legal actions but if I was in Mr Boddys shoes I would be trying to build on the goodwill a promotion (which obvioualy hasnt happened and might not) and foster a...

    Would promotion bring some supporters back

    If we got promoted and club set about marketing it on the back of the feeling of goodwill towards the club we could add a fair few. If fans could see some real investment in trying to create a side capable of doing well in League 1 then that would also help. If we do go up and then scratch...

    Safe Standing ?

    Green Paper uses a ration of 1:1.8 - in Germany the figures differs from ground to ground, between 1.2 and 1.8 but a safe average would probably be 1.5. For a bit of economics on the issue The proposal continued - The sums: Stadium A - Safe Standing Roadshow.co.uk

    New one-off striped kit for the play-off final

    Personally I shall be squeezing my aging overweight carcass into my '87 cup final replica shirt and be feeling smug that mine looks like the new one without the outlay!! Normally I am one of those who thinks there should be a law against fat old blokes (like me) wearing tight replica polyester...

    New one-off striped kit for the play-off final

    Just had journo from Daily Mail asking me for a comment about this none story - apparently "if you like it and want one buy one, if you don't want one, don't" wasn't the reply he was looking for. Seems someone is trying to take focus away from the real issue which is winning and promotion. If it...

    Nuneaton MP to raise CCFC home next season in Parliament

    If we had owners who were reasonable, actually wanted a football club and weren't litigious animals then the EFL could use there own rules about tenure etc and get the club to sort out the mess. Basically they could demand the club shows them a realistic plan for either building a new stadium...
