It's going to take more than that - they need to follow my advice in my opening post to even have a chance of turning things round

Some advice to SISU from someone who has supported CCFC since 1952. You have seen at first hand that given a sniff of success, the support is there. You first saw it when we returned to the Ricoh from Northampton v Gillingham and again at Wembley last Sunday. You must be extremely short...

What has happened to George Curtis ? Surprised he wasn't there on Sunday. We never seem to hear about him in recent years.

Anyone? Surely someone? 43,000 ? The Ricoh ain't big enough. You can't compare gates to when we were in the Premiership, times have changed. More money, star players - just kidding about the Ricoh not being big enough by the way. Look at Lesturd - 32,000 week in week out since they got...

My intuition tells me we will stay long term at the Ricoh. Forget the bull shit, the smokescreen, the willingness to mediate because in my opinion it's a ploy to remain at the Ricoh. It's the most sensible and affordable solution. Wasps will cave in because they need CCFC more than CCFC needs...

Absolutely ! In my opinion this will never happen. Any plans to accept a stadium holding only 12,000 without being able to increase to 25,000 would show a serious lack of ambition by SISU. Anyway, I do not believe this will ever happen and my opinion it's just another ploy to delay and further...

Look at Brighton as a comparison- similar gates to us, moved away from the old Goldstone ground to play whilst their new stadium was built and now get gates hovering around 30,000.

And if Duggins refuses they can blame the Council?

In my opinion this is a ploy in SISU's game. When mediation fails, they can use this to their advantage, surely?

I reckon the cup tie v Sunderland gate was even higher due to gates being crashed open - probably over 60,000

Yes, I was there!

I have to admit I was nearly convinced by Tim Fisher - until I looked back! A bit like Pavlov's Dogs, I am so used now to statements made in the past not coming to fruition that I am reluctant to believe a word he now says. He always comes across as being sincere, appearing to be a past master...

Am I right to assume all this will go tits up if SISU don't withdraw all legal claims ?

How do Coventry Bears and Coventry United fit in with this plan? There's no way four teams can use BPA

Yes indeed!

It's good to know that a few of us on here go back as far as the 1950's. It's good to look back and rekindle memories- we should start a Veterans club for the over 70's !

And of course Gordon Nutt - another winger we sold to Arsenal, I think.

Thought we bought him from Snowdon Colliery?

Yes, we sold him to Man City and I went to White Hart Lane to see his debut v Spurs

Totally agree - seems to be a ploy SISU would use judging on past experiences! I wouldn't trust them an inch.
