Why don't they just talk about the onfield stuff as anything off the field is guesswork

I get the impression they struggle for callers so you get the same handful of people on every week talking about the same thing.

Maybe they need to have a think about changing the format a bit.

They need to drop Geoff Foster for me. Very rarely see him asking anything to anyone at CCFC that an actual fan might ask. And if that's his hands tied by the station because they don't want to rock the boat, well then they deserve their show to be dying on it's arse.

The show is poor , because we have nothing positive to talk about .

You don't need something positive to make the show good. Why not have a proper debate on the formation and going back to 4-4-2, question why we signed Reid and then play without wingers, get Dave Bennett on the blower for 10 minutes to talk about why traditional wingers would suit our strikers or Killer on the phone to discuss what makes a good centre back pairing. There's plenty of proper football conversations to be had that might make people want to listen and call in instead of just the same old whingers every week.

BBC Liverpool have a phone in every night of the week pretty much, which is made up of much the above you mentioned. Ex players in debating the goings on etc, it works and works well. Then again were talking about 2 teams that supporters do not put up with shit and wouldn't step one foot in their grounds if SISU were in charge.

The dwindling number of people who phone in kind of reflects the dwindling number of people who take an interest in our club and/or go to games. I used to listen to it religiously but hardly ever put it on anymore.
I did hear one caller tonight (I think it was Nigel) who said he couldn't give his ticket away anymore, I've had this a few times in the last couple of seasons. If one of us can't make it for any reason you offer the ticket around but we rarely find anyone who wants it.

I've gone from always having a season ticket and couldn't dream of not having one, too I wouldn't dream of getting one now and barely look for the scores...lucky for the club we are born into it so Ill be with it forever but still.

Too much of the show is taken up by people (rightly)venting their spleen. Not helped by having Nigel (sorry, mate) who comes on, spouts the same stuff, without being particularly articulate and adding nothing to previous outpourings. I can put up with not being articulate if you are passionate and have a point to make, but he and the constant 'we have an open invitation to TF and Anderson to come on here' make the Friday evening show a bit same old, same old. Agree that having Benno or other ex players would freshen it up.

Can someone answer me something. Do ccfc own the training ground? If so why are we not looking at developing in and around the training ground for the academy? I know the question is money but surely they can offset this to potential incoming from the academy, this would also keep all players/ staff in one location which will familiarise the youth teams for if/ when they make a step up towards the first team

We do but there is no room around it to develop anything. At best we could buy the Connexion and extend the site about but even with that its fairly limited.

The amount of land around the site and there is no way someone will sell it? Everything has a price, seems to me that they have accepted a no answer without persistence, if that question has ever been asked

Only land you could possibly buy would be Keller and that is likely to be far from cheap.

I'm working with a customer of mine who's looking at buying about 30acres of land about 500m down the road for potential redevelopment, if he can find land for development why can't ccfc?

Where would you build to extend Ryton then? North East is housing, South East is Keller and a lake, South West is Connexion and North West is Prologis.

It would be great if it could be done but I don't see how it can happen.

I don't know, I have limited details on the potential site, early days for this customer, obviously with a lot money doors open

Ryton is green belt too that's why we still own it. Otherwise Oggy in Bubenhall would have to move out whilst TF measured his garden for a proposed site ...............

This has been done to death. The sites aren't big enough even if the club bought the connexion site.

How Gillette and Hicks found that out too their cost, as soon as they started
Backtracking on promises and pledges, they were chased out of town.

I spoke to a woman tonight (yeah, I know, there's a first for everything).

She has a season ticket but hasn't been to a single game yet.
