That would be a very interesting scenario. If we did a Southampton/Norwich and got into the Premier League, there is no way, surely, that Sixfields would be approved as a Premier stadium. It could even coincide with the host club being in the Conference. So where would SISU be able to find...

:wave: Hope it bloody chokes her.:wave:

I believe they haven't got a snowball's chance in hell of getting planning permission at Brandon. The locals seem to have plenty of clout, and the road access is notoriously poor, so that alone would kill off the plans. Appeals processes could take years too. So I think the club are using this...

It sounds like you live not too far from me. I left Coventry in 1996 and have lived in Sutton since then. I started supporting City in 1963 and had my first season ticket in the West Stand when we were promoted in 1967. Never missed a home game in all that time, and moving here made no...

No from me too. In fact, they could send a limousine to collect and return me, provide a match ticket, a 3-course meal beforehand, and a free bar at half time, and I still wouldn't bother. Move back to the Ricoh and I'd have my season ticket again without hesitation.

I would say it is standard business practice to reduce prices to try and increase sales if you are struggling to attract customers. So I am not surprised that prices are so low, given the fact that only 10% or so of last season's customers are still turning up. The difference is that this is...

Had it been a run-of-the-mill ref rather than FIFA one, it is likely there would have been 2 red cards. Common sense is not an option for those trying to ascend the greasy pole.

I have to say that Sheffield Utd are dire. Normally they are very competitive and you know you've been in a game whatever happens. But not today. They just don't look up for it at all, and it's almost like damage limitation already. Webster should have seen a second yellow. But even if we...

The brown egg-timer kit was unpopular at the time, but became quite iconic. That sometimes happens when the team of the day was quite decent, which it was. I did despise the recent brown kit, which was a completely different shade of brown and looked cheap and nasty. How we ever played a...

That win was away though. 52 years ago last week that we last beat them at home.

Gary Collier played twice, both away from home and both defeats. So the home fans never saw him play. He never lived up to a quite decent reputation and departed to the American League. He was a poor signing in one sense, but we actually made a small profit on him when he went, which was a...

Best management ever at CCFC? What utter shyte. I seem to recall we had quite a few years of Derrick Robins as chairman and Jimmy Hill as manager. Does that not count? More like these current chancers know nothing about that era.

It's a pointless question because of all the factors involved. So to boil it down as much as possible, my conclusion is that Coventry City FC, in any meaningful and sensible form, does not currently exist. So the answer is Neither.

Like many others, I don't believe there is a serious intention to build a new stadium. But let's indulge the fantasy and try and make sense of it. What is the likely capacity of a new stadium likely to be? If it is less than about 20000 that shows a complete lack of ambition to eventually...

I believe that many stay-aways are almost past caring about the Sisu/ACL situation. The thing that really matters is that the club is no longer playing in, or near, Coventry. So it is no longer an option for Saturday afternoon. I doubt most will support anyone else - I certainly won't be -...

It is obvious that Seppala doesn't know anything about football, and specifically does not understand football fans. 90% of her client base is staying away from the business simply because it is no longer in Coventry. If and when it returns, 2016 at the earliest, how many will return? She...

It is correct that the new generation of fans will be lost forever. They will form other allegiances, or take up other activities, and if and when the club returns to the city there will be very few youngsters of that age group bother to turn up. But it's far worse than that. The diehard...

I am another that thinks the kit is awful. But I never buy one anyway. As for the charity, I shall not be donating any money. But I wouldn't have anyway, not a cause that interests me at all. So none of this will make the slightest impact on me financially.

Whenever expectation is at its highest, City never fail to disappoint. So I can see a draw today in front of about 1800.

The Kettle factor could be influential today. The FL's worst referee over the last few years usually has some negative influence on the game. He is a shocker!
