    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Why all the angst? Wasps are history - from this day forward the CBS Arena will be referred to as the home of Coventry City Football Club - Wasps are just a footnote in its history. What a result that is. The man taking over is a. genuinely fucking loaded and b. has previously owned a...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Are you seriously suggesting that the owners of the club also owning the stadium would be bad for CCFC? Not with you. If you want SISU here for the foreseeable, NEC ownership pretty much guarantees that.

    Safe Standing

    It baffles me how the issue of safe standing is treated as some sort of social experiment that might have dire consequences, when every week tens of thousands of football supporters stand on traditional terracing (think Peterborough, Exeter, Carlisle, Accrington and many others); while many more...

    The 150K was just for today's game (so it has been said), but these seem to be rumours. Gilbert said 'a substantial amount' but hasn't confirmed exactly how much, but refused to deny it when somebody mentioned the 150K figure.

    If SISU don’t purchase the stadium…

    But we don't though. This is the 1st genuine opportunity the owners have had since their failed bid in 2013 to take control. They may take that opportunity, they may not, but until we know what's the point agonising over it? Let's just back the club through a difficult week. And it will be...

    Well it won't be 150K to cover match day costs, but it was effectively ransom money. Pay this or else. I suspect we've effectively covered this month's payroll with the 2 payments made. I don't say this as though it is fact, but it has been reported by a few people and it certainly wouldn't...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Nobody is sucking up to anyone. Droaning on about what should have happened 8 years ago serves no purpose, it's just noise at this point. The reality is a harsh one. We have to play the hand we have been dealt in the here and now. That means finding a venue for Tuesday if needed, and if the...

    Well perhaps in a cartoon reality that's true, but in this reality he has been right about many things. Doesn't mean to have to like him or approve of how he operates.

    Nailed it. Some people are being incredibly disingenuous. It is a complete red-herring.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Eh? We signed a 10 year lease. There are many clubs operating in the EFL who own neither own the freehold or the head lease of the stadium they play in. Should they all be building a stadium on the side just in case? Even if SISU had properly started the process of planning a new ground 3...

    Probably one of the dumbest takes I have ever seen on the issue. And it's a fucking crowded field.

    I'm not saying he is right about the pitch repairs, but he has posted things on here that suggest he definitely has a contact within the club. Either that or he's mastered the art of time travel.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Worst case I think we might be looking at a game or two behind closed doors. The logistics and cost of moving to another venue probably isn't viable. I think this is sorted pretty quickly even in that worst case, it's in everyone's interests. That said, I've not fully considered the impact of...

    Match Thread Tuesday v Rotherham Match Thread

    Will be more home fans for this one than last week. Remember we'd sold over 20K for original fixture and not everyone will have returned tickets. You can see on plan that sales are ahead of where they were for Sheff Utd game.

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Sheffield United Match Thread - Wednesday 19th Oct

    Neither were they though, they kept playing long, straight balls to nobody. I notice how the match highlights skip the 1st half completely, neither team did anything. Our ball retention was poor, but they were pressing like maniacs. That did impress me, that they managed to sustain that high...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Sheffield United Match Thread - Wednesday 19th Oct

    Not buying that we were 'awful' last night. Created little sure, but thought we competed well, and apart from the two speculative efforts that hit the woodwork, SU didn't do much. In fact, did they create a genuine chance all night? Cancelled each other out for the most part, and hardly a...

    Clearly watching a different game to me then. Even their biased comms said we deserve the lead. Not sure what you're seeing. We've comfortably had more possession, and they've had one weak effort on target.

    Am I the only who thinks we've played OK? Cardiff haven't done much at all. Why is it daylight robbery?

    Strong L1 vibes from that line up. Only one change from the BC line up though and that's a game where we competed and could have won, so who knows, but fearing a long afternoon tbh.
