It's a Coventry City forum...There is a Wasps forum where you can just talk about that.It's a forum, you can choose to post on any thread without judgment.
I don't have much to say on the footballing side, I don't see the games live & would rather not post things like "goal yea!!!, Get In!!!' and all that sort of crap.
My biggest annoyance is with SISU.
Sorry, I find this harsh. Might have a rather different opinion to many, but I do also remember having at least the consistency to avoid the Checkatrade final too.
Many have reasons not to go up. Personally I find the pro-Wasps line a little strange, but in this instance I fear I agree with him and OSB, that there's a difference between hoping they go bust, and expecting them to (as of this moment, anyway!).
Can we get on with the (however unpalatable!) debate about why Wasps aren't necessarily rosy, and persuade peeler in the error of his ways?
In this instance yes. You're a supporter or you aren't.That's because you see everything as black or white.

I apologise, maybe I should have toned down my language. It must be difficult for a franchise rugby supporter to understand the passionate tribal nature of football fans.NW, Exactly what a forum is for, they don't have to agree with my standpoint, but you can be civilised in doing so

You are not a Coventry City supporter. You may used to have been but you're now a franchised rugby club supporter. You may struggle to come to terms with that but it's a fact. You may be a Coventry City supporter again in the future once our parasitic owners leave but you are not now. At the worst time in the club's history you chose not to support them but to give your support to a rival.

Then on that reckoning there are only about 7-8k supporters of CCFC at the moment.
So Fred Bloggs who emigrated to Australia in 2010, but still stays up at silly hour listening to iPlayer is no longer a supporter, because he doesn't go to games.
Or young Gordon Bennett who is 6 and who's Dad has no interest in football so won't take him to the game isn't a supporter.
Nonsense, you can be a supporter without going to games, not everything or everyone in life fits nicely into your black and white vision.
I didn't mention going to games did I. I said abandoning your team for another team.Then on that reckoning there are only about 7-8k supporters of CCFC at the moment.

That man in Australia is supporting the club with ifollow revenue. That child will be asking for kits and badgering his dad to go to games. The thousands missing are, in the majority, not taking your deluded stand point but are disillusioned with it all and decided that occasional games are better value for money.
There are ways of supporting without going to games. Choosing to completely abandon the team that is still there on your doorstep is waiving the right to call yourself a supporter.
Anyway, it's been nice talking to you all today, but I've got to go, other things to do.
For the record, generally I only ever post on here when I'm at home in the afternoons, which isn't very often as I work up north.
Up the Sky Blues!
Nar typical Grendel reply.I don't want to join the pile-on, but would like to say Grendel's black and gold post further up is a lovely zing.
And that sir sums it up.As my grandfather used to say 'Supporters support the club with their money, anyone else is a fan'.
My anger isn't against CCFC, it's against SISU.
I want promotion this year just as much as anyone else who posts on here.
So why don't you help the chances of the team but getting up to the Ricoh and supporting our team? That would help give Robins some cash right?
Admittedly, I don't go anywhere near as often as I'd like but I don't live locally. Equally, I don't spend money watching parasites.
Sorry if a repost, but this is the new planning application for Higgs:
Coventry City Council: Planning Application Details
...it includes a new indoor 3G football pitch, and I wasn't aware that was proposed until now (but then I have tried my best to avoid this thread, so apologies if it has already been discussed).
Can you guarantee the cash would go to Robins, I don't think so.
Corbyns and Theresa Mays magic money treeWhere do you think the money comes from to pay players wages etc???
As my grandfather used to say 'Supporters support the club with their money, anyone else is a fan'.
It looks like 60 x 40 on the "Football Hall Floor Plan" which you can access via. the Planning Application link. Have you seen a different size mentioned somewhere?Presumably smaller than the existing pitch which is 60x40m.

I haven't been following this closely, but wasn't it the case a while back that Wasps were going to have the site, leaving CCFC only the unsatisfactory option of renting a hall for short periods when Wasps didn't want it. Now it seems more positive, because there will still be a hall and with Wasps going elsewhere CCFC will potentially have fuller access to the indoor pitch?
Multiple accounts? 'Up the Sky Blues'.
Yeah.right.
Funny that.Otium's directors were paid £115,500
I had an account years ago when SBT first started, which I stopped using for a while, I forgot the password, I couldn't change the password because it had an email address that was no longer in use. So I set up another account, hardly the worlds worst crime. I've only ever used one account at a time.
Nick knows all this, but still uses it to try and discredit me when he can.
I'm a sky blue fan just like you whether you like it or not, I supported them through the 70's, 80's 90's & 00's, but I will never go again until SISU are gone.
Do you mean like the strange ones that have been banned?Funny that.
If you were a sisuist he wouldn' mention it or even check it out.
Your own comments discredit you enough and point out your hypocrisy. You won't go again, but then go when there's a bit of positivity then stop.Otium's directors were paid £115,500

More made up nonsense from you, one day you might even get close to actual facts.
