    If CCFC were a restaurant

    I think we would be the kitchens at the Hylands Hotel on Warwick Road. If anyone is unsure, read the reviews on Trip Advisor! http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186403-d193204-Reviews-Hylands_Hotel-Coventry_West_Midlands_England.html

    Bristol city predictions

    Bristol are a decent team at this level and look certs for promotion, albeit early days. We are a mediocre squad on a poor run and with plenty of injuries to make it worse. With everybody available we would struggle to get a point but with the team we are likely to field I can see nothing but...

    Anyone now thinking of jacking the whole thing in?

    I know what you mean. At least I have seen a bit of success in my time as a City fan. What depresses me is the thought that we are at a lower level than at any time in my 50 years as a fan with the worst team we have had in all that time. If I thought there was any hope of us even getting...

    Anyone now thinking of jacking the whole thing in?

    Regrettably, the answer is Yes. We got our season tickets immediately on the return to the Ricoh. In retrospect that was a bit of a rash decision and I wish we had watched a couple of games first. The Gillingham game was great, but it was the occasion rather than the football. Since then it...

    Knee Jerk Reaction....

    Perhaps Pressley does think he has time, given the fact that he's just signed a 4 year contract, which is unheard of at this level. I thought when I've listened to him after recent games that he is certainly complacent about our plight. He said we were terrific after Crawley and thought we...

    Why we are on the slide

    Do you think it will take 5 years for us to get into League 2? Or Division 4, to give it the accurate name!

    Knee Jerk Reaction....

    I agree. Pressley is always banging on about the standards he has set at the club. But those standards seem to revolve around workrate, intensity, pressing etc. These qualities should go without saying - no team will succeed at this level unless they are willing to graft for 90 minutes, The...

    Only Won Eight Games From 35 In 2014

    Pressley disagrees. He said we were 'terrific' against Crawley. Then he thought we dominated the second half today and deserved something from the game. He has never criticised the team for giving less than 100%, including today. I wasn't at Crewe but even Eakin & Foster thought we deserved...

    We are poor and so is our manager

    Yes. One point per game through the whole of 2014 is relegation stuff.

    Robins in advanced talks with Scunny

    Why do so many people fail to grasp this point. To us, football clubs are an object of our loyalty. To players and managers they are the current employers. Just like us, they will move on if a job is offered with better pay and prospects. People slagged off Leon Clarke when he did what any...

    The Future

    Sisu's best chance was always to get at least a half-share in the Ricoh but they have seemingly blown the last of many chances to do so. Their management style has been a disaster almost from day one. They could have been involved in a world class facility but failed. Even if they do build...

    Bristol City bringing a big(ish) following down next Saturday

    You are quite right. It is like having a restaurant where they get a new chef and the food deteriorates. Word gets around and people stop going. It then takes a lot of work to rebuild the client base because people have been disappointed previously. You can reduce prices to try and tempt...

    Private seat licenses

    So am I right in thinking that Simeon Jackson is a PSL holder who won the draw to get the No.12 shirt as an honorary squad member? That was lucky. He's done a better job than the old biddy who sits near me, for instance.

    Ann Lucas Comments

    She was simply playing safe, politically. I still think they cannot be blamed for taking the only offer on the table when Fisher &Co have said they have no intention of staying once their Fantasy Arena is built. She may claim to be a city fan but first and foremost these people are...

    100% of ACL, 250-year lease, £20m. C'mon Mr Fisher!

    This is exactly what I have been saying. The council, now they have agreed to sell the place, are legally obliged to get the best price they can. If Sisu bid more than Wasps then it would put the council in a very difficult position if they refused it. Sisu have never had any intention of...

    wasps crowds

    I think it is impossible to predict what interest there would be for a top-flight rugby team in Coventry. It certainly used to be a big rugby city when Cov were one of the country's top 2 or 3 teams. Coundon Road used to attract good crowds and there is still a thriving local rugby scene in...

    Wasps officials have held talks about making Ricoh permanent home

    I wonder if McGinnity still runs the company that manufactures the different coloured seats for stadiums. He could make a few bob here.
