I remember the reasoning behind why they chose stripes in 1986. The club claimed that they were easier to pick out for the players against a background of sky blue seats. This was at a time when gates were frequently 10000 or less. On that basis I reckon stripes are a pretty good bet for next...

I don't regard Wasps as relevant at all to most City fans. I don't suppose I'll ever go and watch them although clearly some do. The inescapable fact is that the move to Northampton was a disaster for the club and a major factor in the decline in attendances as many don't bother any more. I...

Just to clear that up, Bristol's sub that night was Cormack. City didn't use theirs. You could only name one substitute in those days.

I'm afraid it's the end of the line for us. I've had a ST since 1967 except at Northampton but this is my last one. That year away broke the continuity and this season has been abysmal. So few games have been entertaining or enjoyable. So we are not renewing. We have felt cheated this season...

It was some time before Barry Manilow, Otis. The first example of people holding candles/lighters/matches up during a gig was for Melanie at Woodstock in 1969. This event was what inspired her song and LP 'Candles in the Rain.'

I would say that Andy Madley's performance last night was probably the worst I've seen at the Ricoh all season. Given that the standard of officiating in this league is as bad as the standard of football, that is quite an achievement on his behalf. I don't think he was just poor for us either...

I've had a look at the website and it seems to be an organisation called Bristol Sport. Other sports are involved too but it doesn't seem to actively involve the council, it is a private company pulling it all together. It looks like the model that should be adopted in Coventry, bearing in mind...

Sisu have done an appalling job of marketing the club which is why there are so few fans left. They could be working with Wasps to sell the whole package. I was in Bristol yesterday and got hold of a leaflet that is being distributed to homes in the city. It is headlined "Two Clubs in...

Yes, financially successful, certainly prior to their running of CCFC anyway. Fisher in particular has never really understood his customer base which is why we are in the mess we are. I simply cannot see why he is still in a job. Seppala is entirely about money and seems to have neither...

I think you are right. Seppala can't be stupid - you don't get to have a £10 million house in one of the swishest parts of London when you are stupid. You don't get that by throwing money around either. I'm not so confident about some of the others running the club. Waggott and Fisher do...

Just for clarification, Jim Brown used to be a director of a very major bank in the City of London. I've known Jim for many years and have no doubt he could run rings round the lightweights that run our club when it comes to finance and accounting matters. He is the ideal person to be...

Every summer half of the players leave and are replaced with ones who are not quite as good in order to save money. This is why the current squad is so poor, especially when compared to those of a few years ago. This is the trend that must be reversed by ditching everyone we can and investing...

I think I might pay as much as £64 to watch City next season. I must have missed it so I'm assuming that this is the price for my season ticket.

That's not actually saying much. Steven Hawking would be as much use up front as him.

A real shame. The best of the loan players and our only real goal threat. This leaves us in a heap of trouble, I fear. I did suggest as he walked off last night that it looked a bad one and could end his season. The bit of luck we had on Saturday came back to haunt us. I seriously doubt...

You misunderstand, my friend. Arena 3000 refers to the new stadium's capacity.

We desperately need a buyer, we all know that. I think that Sisu will be gone sooner rather than later. What worries me is whether they will leave behind anything that resembles a professional football club.

Not surprising, they know nowt about football. Now then, which of their hacks has a name that rhymes with 'Fool'?

Exactly that happened at Highfield Road in 1998. We were playing Sheffield United in the FA Cup and a player called Marcello equalised right on half time. He took off his shirt to celebrate and threw it to someone, but had an identical one on underneath. I am not sure if he got a yellow...
