If I am consulted about the new stadium, I think I will suggest that they install a unicorn-racing track around the pitch. Far-fetched? Well, they started it....

I guess you've not looked at Sickipedia tonight then. Less than 5 minutes, I reckon.

I have said before that the majority of the 90% who don't go to Sixfields are sick and tired of the politics, the bickering and the bullshit, whoever produces it. They just want to get back to watching the team in the city. So as soon as they return, and given the fact that the team is doing...

I'm afraid this is what the pro-Sisu brigade have never understood. The 90% or so of fans that no longer go to home games are not necessarily making any sort of anti-Sisu protest or boycott. They (we) may not like Sisu or approve of the way they have run the club. But the reason most don't go...

Bradford Park Avenue's ground when they were in the league was Park Avenue. Peel Park was Accrington Stanley's ground.

Pressley is saying he wants to go on a journey with Coventry City. The only journey that interests me is the one back to the Ricoh. Until that happens, it will not be possible to unite the club as he wants to do.

Over those 5 seasons Clarrie Bourton scored 142 goals, 49, 40, 25, 26 and 24. An excellent record, but that still means we scored 360 goals from other players.

They were incredible stats from those 5 years in Div 3 South. In the other season, 34-5, we scored just the 86 goals, making a total of 502 goals in 5 seasons to keep the average over 100. Looking at the tables from those years, it is notable that all the serious scoring was done at home, as...

I remember Happy (Dave Kelly) from those days too. I used to go to all the away games in the 70s and he was always there, squeezed into that sheepskin coat, with a big grin on his face. He did have a high pitched voice and never had a bad word for anyone, really easy-going guy. I used to...

Yes, I take your point. Get offered a new job on twice the money, and would you care that half your time would be spent drinking tea in the canteen? Of course not! But what I was trying to say was that they think differently about football to supporters. The fans often expect a player to...

I can understand why a minority of people do want to continue to watch the games, irrespective of any other factors. I have known people like that, and if I'm honest I was like that in my 20s when I never missed a game, home or away. My thoughts are also that the more people that attend the...

It will be all about money. Newcastle would pay him a salary that would make his current wages look like pocket money. Pro footballers don't think like us, they are on a career ladder and what the hell if they are on the bench or out on loan. Look at how many players are content to do just...

We have been climbing the table quite quickly because, obviously, the teams near the bottom are not picking up many points. It will take longer to climb more places because those we are chasing now are picking up points. Sounds obvious, I know, but there are a group at the top who look like...

I can't bring myself to go either. While they are in Northampton, they aren't really my team. And that's what hurts. Listening to CWR, Linnell just made a comment about how the current form shows that the city of Coventry can actually have a successful team. And without a shred of irony.

I think the facts speak for themselves. Sisu must be getting desperate when 90% of the recent fan base is sitting at home listening to Clive Eakin. Fisher reckoned that if the team was doing well, there would be 7000 there, which would have filled Sixfields. Yet that would have meant...

No, Division 3 South. We beat Clapton Orient, remember!:confused:

Eddie Jordan used to be a regular at HR in the posh seats. I presume he was always a guest of the club rather than buying a ticket. That rent-a-gob John Gaunt used to do the same at the Ricoh, always in the directors' box with Robinson, McGinnity & co. He used to brag that he never paid for...

I'm not quite as old as you, but after 50 years, the last 46 as a season ticket holder, I have not seen my team this season and am not likely to. I live near Birmingham so there are a few games not too far away, but Nick's comments show a complete lack of understanding of us older fans. I used...

She only(!) paid about £6m for it around 5/6 years ago, so even if it's mortgaged, she has a fair chunk of equity in it. I doubt she shops at Lidl.

She would need to sell her house in Kensington then. Current market value is around £10 million, give or take the odd quarter million. Any takers?
