Stu, yeah in an ideal world Deegan is the box to box man I'd agree, but if we have no Clingan tomorrow I just feel as a more physically built player Deegan is better suited to breaking up play. As a stop gap measure. Bigi isn't really built for it. And a few people around me have commented that...

Bigi got to be given a bit more freedom. You can see the confidence he has and the skill to try things. Might be just what we need. Deegan, as a tougher harder physical player to sit a bit deeper. But they could always interchange. Keep opposition guessing. Whatever, the suicidal lack of a loan...

If the players rumoured to be unfit don't play and the club don't bring in anyone to help out this weekend, even on an emergency basis, it will be the tipping point (if we haven't already had that ten times already). A totally clear sign that they've no intention whatsoever to help Andy Thorn...

That's about right Torchy. They want a good team but they abandon them when things don't go our way.

Anthony Wordsworth at Colchester. 22 years old. 6 ft tall. Scores a lot of goals. Central midfielder. Certainy on AT's radar, we should be busting a gut to bring him in. If we had a board with any ambition. I can dream.

Mumford, you must have been one of those hardy 400! Yeah we seem to have sneaked a result or two at Stoke. Bothroyd got a couple of absolute belters for us a few years ago in a win there. & the cup run of course. Though saw us hammered 4-0 in the 80s & Tom English & Mark Hately were sat in front...

A few seasons back we travelled just up the road to Stoke. What, 70 miles. Hour and a bit. There were about 400 City fans huddled in one end. They looked freezing cold and lost in banks of empty seats. I sat on the side as I always do for away games. I admire the spirit of a lot of fans who...

Asbyjan, think your idea of everyone remaining in the concourses until five minutes before kickoff is a useful one. Sure it's only symbolic but an empty stadium would send a clear message about the depth of feeling. This way we can include those fans who wouldn't entertain the idea of boycotting...

Talking about atmosphere. Here's a link to a very full looking Kop, circa 1980s. Does anyone recognise themselves or anybody? Roy Clarke's site is terrific. http://web1.twitpic.com/6qd6uz

Sub, I don't like Sisu anymore than you do, but Tommy has a point. Either the stayaways support the club they say they love or they are just hurting their team as much as Sisu. Keep saying it, more fans, more money, better team.

Torchy, how right you are. The extra 18,000 would generate a minimum of £200,000 - enough to bring in a player I'd suggest. Or a useful loanee. But the stayaways don't see it that way.

The stayaways are still killing the club just as much as Sisu. I don't care what anybody says. We talk about Andy Thorn's hands, legs, everything, being tied behind his back but Sisu, much as I dislike them, are in the same position. Fans staying away increasingly limit their options. No fans -...

Coventry La La La, spot on mate. Valiant - think before you type. You're just coming across as foul mouthed.

CCFCROB, I'm not sure most on here do have season tickets. Or even go to games (some of them). We'll never know. But judging from what people actually say on here from time to time, some are very lapsed fans. As I said, I'm not that optimistic. I like the approach Thorn has to playing and when...

Torchomatic couldn't have put it better. It is the stayaway fans that are the problem. The fairweather ones. A big city like Coventry should have much greater support, we used to a long time ago. More fans more money. More money better players. Simple logic. But the stayaways come out with all...

Why would Juke want to go to Boro? Average or worse Championship club, money troubles, fans disenchanted, gates of less than 15,000, yawning empty spaces around their ground. Sound familiar?

Hey come on, from the figures I've seen there are no more than 250 people on here at busy times. its a tiny proportion of our fans. Calling it the heartbeat of the club or similar is stretching it. Sure there are some loud voices on here but it is a small number.

We all know we don't have enough fans. The stayaways being a long term problem. More fans, more money. Perhaps Spain's Getafe have a cunning plan to change all that. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/aug/19/getafe-fans-sperm-donors

Something from the COV MAD SITE, a bit of a read, but it throws more light on the background of the people now running our club. The article obviously relates to Southampton and dates from October 2009. The expensive flights from Portugal continue. More DYOR on my part required, but anybody...
