Correction: They were promoted to the old Division 2 in 1974, where they spent two or three seasons (even played Man U when they got relegated). I supported them as a young lad back then, before rediscovering football when I came to Cov in 1982, and have been loyal Sky Blue ever since. Can't...

People are quite happy to slag the council off for not agreeing to enter the mediation process, but there has been no mention of Wasps or CSF. Am I wrong?

Regarding whether SISU and CCFC are separate entities and Jon Sharp could deal with the latter and not the former, the JR1 Judgment states that "The administrator sold the assets of the Football Club (including the "golden share" in the Football League) to another SISU company, Otium...

That's shit! Would love to buy better seats (e.g. middle tier behind the goal), but now no longer able to guarantee selling on my upper-tier tickets! Bastards!

Can you briefly summarise/paraphrase the relevant points, Italia? I did say it was a naïve question!

And this is only going to get worse with the new WMCA (is there a song in there somewhere?)

Can I ask a possibly naïve question? What subjects are they hoping to mediate on? That is, why is there suddenly a need to mediate? The fact that CCC sold their share in ACL at a knockdown price to Wasps (accepting a lower offer for that part of the business than CCFC had proposed)? The fact...

Riyadh, what connection do you have to the city? It may be that you are a Cov Kid exiled in Saudi, in which case I'm surprised that you'd not understand the sensitivities around the point you make about the relationship between Birmingham and Coventry. If you are by some quirk of fate simply a...

What about this odd covenant (allegedly) on the BPA land which says it can't be used for professional (sic) football? Wasn't that the Council's doing? PS I like the suggested idea of duel season tickets. Who's up first? Fisher Vs Duggins?

There was mention on the other related thread (now closed) of everyone having their DM laces confiscated at the turnstiles at the Goldstone Ground in the 80s. If the stewards reintroduced that practice at the Ricoh, would it be to prevent pitch invasions and other related aggro (ahhh ... a...

Handful since yesterday. Can't think why sales have dried up!

Helpful set of stats, but the assumption that the team governing the safety mark (i.e. in 20th place) shows as little desire to avoid relegation as we do is unlikely. I think it'll be April 1st, but could be sooner.

Many? Can you name me one?

529, row 9

How things have moved on since those days. I was watching a clip recently of an old City match in about 87, and we were still all behind those 9ft fences, with no hope of escape if something went wrong (not to mention the endless monkey noises from opposition fans whenever Cyrille got the ball -...

Well they had some eejit alleged academic expert on CWR last week saying that "he had heard that administration was a formal possibility". Absolutely no substance to that, but mere scare-mongering. Having said that, we have to accept that we are in a dire financial position, and it ain't gonna...

Easy clickbait not requiring any proper investigative journalism, AJS. Telegraph through and through!

As someone with relatives who are Bantams fans, the suggestion that this could be passed off as "harmless banter" is ridiculous. IMHO, it is FAR more hurtful than someone suggesting that their city has a high South Asian population. You try getting away with a similar comment about Hillsborough...

Of course it wasn't arson, FFS. That would have been mass murder. It was an accident waiting to happen with people smoking in an old wooden structure. Same immediate cause as the King's Cross fire two years later.

It's not pre-match coaching - it's a warm-up. Coaching is for the training ground
