    Ticket office staff losing jobs

    There was no print at home option last season on a package.

    Ticket office staff losing jobs

    In a way, yes. I want a decent service, which we haven't had for a while. They want us to buy tickets for their matches so they have an obligation to provide that decent service. If they don't, people will vote with their feet. Good customer service should not be an optional extra, it should...

    Legal action 2

    I think it's human nature not to want to deal with people who are threatening legal action against you. Put it this way - I own a rental property and if my tenant was threatening to sue me, I would issue a Section 21 notice for them to quit at the end of their tenancy term. Irrespective of the...

    Ticket office staff losing jobs

    It appears that it will be neither cheaper nor more convenient for us. We had match packages last season but nothing has been announced yet. I would expect to be able to print off match tickets from a package next season and I would not be expecting to pay a booking fee to do so. It looks at...

    Ticket office staff losing jobs

    At least there was a system. I never had problems with season tickets, cup tickets or whatever before the move. Getting rid of the staff was always going to be a disaster and I'm sure many people who may have gone to games simply didn't bother over the last two years because of the ticket...

    Ticket office staff losing jobs

    I would think it's a far more serious issue that all those staff that were employed when we had a proper ticket office have lost their jobs, particularly following the Northampton fiasco. It used to be properly staffed and, back in the day, efficiently run. They clearly couldn't continue to...

    breaking news? at 5pm today

    Exactly. It's a war the football club cannot win. They are completely lacking in any bargaining chips. The only way I see for progress is for them to formally cease their completely vexatious litigation and try to get a long term agreement with Wasps to use the Ricoh with some benefits from...

    Fisher: Butts Park Arena is our preffered option

    Fisher must be barking mad if he seriously thinks BPA is a viable option. It has little potential, certainly not a Championship level stadium, and in truth is no better than non-league because of access. If we moved there, that's likely where we would end up.

    New kit??

    Well, it's a 'truly awful' from me. Most clubs have some sort of distinctive theme to their kit. We seem to cobble something dreadful together every time and get it right about once in five. This is as poor as I can recall sonce the one that looked like it had been used by a painter and...

    Hard men of the 60's and 70's

    If City needed a specific marking job done in the 60s it was often given to Brian Hill. He was often under-rated but was a very capable player and few got the better of him in such situations.

    RIP Ian Gibson

    Very sad news. Ian Gibson was genuinely one of City's all-time greats. He was eclipsed only by Tommy Hutchison in the time I've watched City, and had he managed to stay clear of injury he certainly had the ability to rank alongside Hutch. We have lost a legend.

    Where does everyone see CCFC .............

    I can only see us plodding along as an established mid-table L1 team, probably still at the Ricoh. This is a slightly optimistic view if anything. If the Ricoh is no longer an option, the BPA will be a non-starter in my view, and I fear for where we would be. As others suggest, it could be...

    Is the Butts deal imminent?

    This has been my impression from the start of the suggestions that we move to the BPA. The rugby club get about 1000 people for their games, which is insignificant in terms of what happens in the surrounding area on match days. The idea of even 10000 turning up for football is a non-starter...

    Sunderland Fans bitching again

    It would have been nice if both Sunderland and Newcastle had gone down. Then they could have had their little local derby in the Championship where it belongs, as nobody else is interested in it. Had Sunderland, Newcastle and Aston Villa all been relegated, it would have been a clean sweep for...

    Sunderland Fans bitching again

    Yes, 40 years, during which time they have been relegated on several other occasions. Do they have someone to blame for each individual relegation, I wonder? They are really sad individuals, many of whom will not have been born in 1977. Very few will actually know (or believe) the facts of...

    Horacio Carbonari

    I always thought we should have bought Mark Fish to play alongside Youssef Chippo.

    Happy Anniversay

    Has to be just about the greatest day of my life. It may be 29 years ago but I can still remember every detail of it. Not bad considering I usually can't remember what I had for breakfast these days!! The best bit was probably the fact that none of us ever thought we would ever experience...

    Who is the one player.....

    The man to have got us more goals when they were drying up would be George Hudson. He was a class above when he played at this level.

    So , what are our owners going to do now ...............

    How can City aspire to anything even remotely near what Leicester have done while we have such useless and incompetent owners. We are destined to stay where we are for the foreseeable future as I see it. So I am wondering who are our rivals. Burton and Walsall may both be promoted. So the...

    Most home wins in a season since 1987

    The season at home has been great for me. We bought 6-game packages and the games we picked were: Wigan (2-0), Chesterfield (1-0), Gillingham (4-1), Bury (6-0), Bradford (1-0) and Sheffield Utd (3-1). So that's P6 W6 D0 L0 F17 A2 Pts 18. No wonder that at half time on Saturday a mate was...
