The newspaper is on a course to self destruction isn't it. By cutting what you called the 'news team' to reduce costs, you almost certainly damage the quality of the product and so sales fall... which mean you have to reduce costs still further, which damages the quality of the product even...

I don't think I'm being unfair, or spinning. It was a lot to do with the council, because it was the council that pushed forward a bid for a national football stadium in Coventry. It seems to always be forgotten (or largely dismissed) how the council was dead set on building a stadium in the...

Somewhere I have a picture of Lucas standing in front of a billboard lorry that the council was using to promote the idea of a national football stadium on Coventry. The council were the ones really pushing for the national football stadium to be in Coventry, if you don't believe me read...

Why might the Telegraph break cover? Try Googling this 'OUT/2016/2034' Funny how the asset stripping of the Coventry Evening Telegraph has gone so unnoticed.

I think that probably moves us on to the ins and outs of the Tesco deal and I suspect none of us really know what the truth is about that.

Does Patrick Suffo still live in one of those flats, we wouldn't want the club coming into conflict with Coventry United.:D

The prospective dumping of the club in favour of a new national football stadium also puts paid to the myth that the council was going all out to help CCFC. The council wanted to build a stadium as it thought it would economically regenerate the north of the city, the club was just a patsy.

Nearly right. Where your memory is a little adrift is on the idea of doubling up. If the national stadium had been built where the Ricoh is now CCFC wouldn't be playing there, the plans for a national stadium didn't include us...

You left out the bit about the council's scheme to have the national football stadium in Coventry didn't involve CCFC playing in it. See the last paragraph of the attached linked article: http://www.cwn.org.uk/politics/coventry-city-council/2001/08/010820-national-stadium-boost.htm

I won't be buying the book because I don't want someone profiting from the predicament the club is in. On the subject of local journalists in general, I think the standard now is pretty low. I can't believe that any of the local hacks will be presenting Newsnight in 20 years.

There is the former built vehicle car park (and overflow) at the former Ryton Assembly Plant. The site is large enough for a cheap off the peg bowl and it might be classed as 'brownfield former industrial land' by a sympathetic council. According to the draft local plan there are another site...

Really it needs someone to trawl through the document and even then there are vague references to things that might mean a stadium might be missed. For example, in the infrastructure section of the local plan it says: "Improvements to the A45, including new roundabouts to provide access to the...

It seems to be a rabbit puppet that appeared on television in the south west. The book is about Exeter City: "Gus Honeybun... Your Boys Took One Hell of a Beating tells the story of a lifetime aboard the emotional roller-coaster of inconsistency which is Exeter City - one of English football's...

I see 'the book' is being published by Pitch Publishing Ltd. According to it's website this fine sports publisher invites submissions from aspiring authors. Other unmissible works published by Pitch Publishing include: 'Saints and Sinners - Southampton's Hard Men', 'From Oblivion to Hampden -...

I've read the posts you've made in the past, so I am know you will understand the draft local plan that's been published covers a long period (15 years). I'm not sure others may understand the long term nature of the local plan. Flagging the site for possible housing development in the local...

I do wonder about the clause in the local plan about the training ground site: "Implementation of site allocation DS3.9 can only occur when adequate replacement of pitch provision is made to the satisfaction of Rugby Borough Council and Sport England in accordance with national planning...

I've found the training ground site on another map: It's designated DS3.9 - that's the site the new local plan says is ok for the development of 75 houses.

There is something that doesn't quite add up in the documents published on Rugby Borough Council's website. There is mention of a site on Leamington Road in Ryton: "DS3.9 Leamington Road, Ryton on Dunsmore** Up to 75 [houses]" This is where the club has it's training ground, but the local...

The club has now made a statement on it's own website. http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/jimmy-hill-way-road-renamed-3321528.aspx

The other point to make is that that club can't win. If the club spends more than allowed and gets fined people will be on here complaining that it's evidence the club is being poorly run.
