I have to go with Strachan too. Mostly because the impact of his incompetence haunts us to this day. As others have said, the squad we had in 2000-01 was certainly good enough to have been mid-table in the Premier League. Strachan's mismanagement of the players and sheer stubbornness in...

Well, that's part of the point really. The squad seems to get that bit worse every season. Hence no progress.

If we are looking at the stats, we could consider our results for this calendar year. In 2014 we have won 8, drawn 10 and lost 15 times in the league. That is 33 games for 34 points. if that level of performance and return continues it is relegation form. It certainly cannot be regarded as...

I've watched the three home games since we returned, having not seen the team play since we left the Ricoh. The fall in the standard of the squad, in my opinion, is quite alarming. Pressley has certainly instilled a decent work ethic and they cannot be criticised for not grafting. But that...

How can it be surprising that our support is poor in relation to the size if the City? We have been historically poor for over 40 years. We were getting crowds of 30000+ the season we qualified for Europe. The potential has always been there, but the team has consistently failed to deliver...

Out of interest, what sort of crowds do Coventry RFC, Coventry Blaze and Coventry Sphinx get? I am assuming that the rugby and ice hockey attract around 1000 each, and I know that most Sphinx games last season struggled to get over 100 even without City in the mix. Also, what do Coventry...

I am certain that absolutely nothing will be done as a result of Pressley's complaint. The FA/FL simply will not contemplate re-refereeing games, especially as there is no disciplinary appeal involved. As far as refereeing performances are concerned, they do their own assessments so it would...

There are actually 4 La Liga teams in Madrid. Don't forget Getafe and Rayo Vallecano.

You are David Blunkett and I claim my £5.

Following Nick's challenge, I have logged on to the site. It is saying that I am NOT a season ticket holder, please buy one! It also says that the linked Friends & Family (my wife) is not either. :facepalm: Don't worry, Nick. Your tenner is safe. We're not going to bother after all...

I don't think the 'Gillingham Effect' was ever going to be more than just that one game. I know people who had never been to a game before that went, mums, wives etc, just because it was a completely unique occasion. The nearest thing I can compare it to is the turnout in Coventry when the...

Exactly the point. Similar cities to Coventry have teams where there has not been a consistent failure over the years. We should be at least on a par with the likes of Southampton, Leicester, Derby etc, who have seen hard times but also promotions and playoffs over the years. I have seen City...

Even when tickets are, say, £15 or so, some people would still not be able to afford to go if they were struggling financially, as many no doubt are. For a single person it may represent a slice of the weekly beer money. For some people it would still be impossible to find. As for...

What makes no sense to me is the idea that people need an 'excuse' not to go. It's not like you need to get a sicknote from your mum. If people don't want to go, then they won't go. It is entirely up to the club to try and attract people to the Ricoh. And it is entirely up to those...

It would seem that Pressley operates on the principle that if you kiss enough frogs, occasionally one or two will turn into princes. There have been an awful lot of his signings that turned out to be toads, it has to be said. In fairness, with little money to spend, this is no different from...

I may well take you up on that. Can you afford a tenner??

Just curious as to what sort of place it was in Amsterdam.....:whistle:

Nope. You failed in the first sentence. It hasn't happened which is why we won't bother. Having bought season tickets on the first day we still had to bugger about getting our tickets, and our STs have still not arrived. You cannot rely on them to sell tickets in a competent manner for an...

You still keep harping about this 'same seat' nonsense. Can you really be that dumb that you have failed to understand the points being made?

Of course people will deal with it. Have a look at the attendance for the Exeter game and you will see how people have dealt with it.
