Tim Flowers might be available. He's a local lad and has played for us before. He's only just past his 50th birthday and I'm sure his hip replacement should be ok by now.

I think it is simply down to how desperately starved of any shred of success City fans have been over the last 30 years. So even a meaningless trophy like the Checkatrade is seen as a straw to clutch at. The classic example was the 30000+ that saw the Crewe match. If we had, say, been to a...

It must be the bleakest place on earth. I remember going to Boundary Park in the 70s for a pre-season friendly and it was freezing cold then.

He is one of those players that has a lot of talent but does not have a body robust enough to play professional sport. There have always been players like this and you do have to feel sorry for them. Even people like Michael Owen always had some sort of physical weakness that plagued their...

That was in February 1974 when there was a power crisis. Clubs were not allowed to use floodlights, hence the earlier kick-off time. City's regular kick-off time then was 3.00 although in the 60s we did start at 3.15 for quite a few years, an idea of JH I believe, when we were getting gates...

You have sort of summed up the problem. There are so many factions among CCFC fans, all with their own ideas and people to blame for the mess the club is in. And that suits the owners of the club just fine, while they all snipe at each other about what to do about it. Sisu = Divide and Rule...

Anyone with a real sense of humour could book a room at the Hylands on Warwick Road. The reviews on Trip Advisor are hilarious......

That was mine too. We were stood in the paddock opposite the main stand that day and had a great view of it. It was actually Hutch's first goal for City IIRC. The tragedy is that the goal was recorded but is never shown. At that time BBC2 showed a few highlights on the news of a game that...

A points deduction would make little difference as they are unlikely to deduct as many as we will be adrift by the end of the season. Remember that Fisher and his cronies got us 2 x 10-point deductions as part of their demolition of the club,

I did wonder if the fact that we have history at Sixfields might create some problems at today's game. It could be that this was the reason for getting a PL referee today, and maybe that worked against Willis who may have got away with it with one of the usual saps we get every week. Not seen...

That's no good. I'm not on a submarine!

To be honest it's not been our century, has it!

One win on the trot would be a miracle at the moment!

I think it's very harsh to say City fans deserve this team or this club. The main body of supporters have been vary patient and tolerant considering the fact that there has been no sniff of success since 1987 and no top 6 finish in any division since 1970. Imagine if that had happened...

Shouldn't be a problem. The way things are going, I would cross that bridge when you come to it!

Agree with most of that. But that wasn't taken at Highfield Road. It looks like it was taken at Highbury if I'm not mistaken.

I am sure you are right. It was Leighton James that scored the free kick and it was later shown to have been an awful decision. I remember Bryan King being in goal at Arsenal when we lost 5-0. We were four down at half time and King had a nightmare, leading to Gordon Milne saying after the...

Yes, £11m may well sort Charlton for a while. They have rubbish owners, too, don't they? So who knows how much of that would be invested in the team. Even a couple of million buys a lot in the bargain basement we are in. One thing is for certain. If CCFC sold someone for £11m then I think...

No fear of that at the Ricoh then. City fans have had nothing to celebrate for 30 years!

Yep, we've had quite a few messiahs over the last few years. Unfortunately, every one of them turns out not to be the messiah, but a very naughty boy!
