Oh dear, you have taken this far too seriously haven't you? From your comments above, I take it that ambition is not one of your fortes!The Rafa Benitez thing was said slightly tongue in cheek but I have to say that it is not totally unrealistic that a premiership manager would want to come and...

Crikey, why so serious? (said in the style of the Joker) Lifting the mood perhaps? Dreaming perhaps? Or, could it become reality?

Could be a major coup? His p45 is waiting to be posted to the kings road club - stranger things have happened. :guitar:

I'm in Bedworth (N Coventry) and just bought a house here, so, midlands it is for me! If we get to Wembley, we should do a midlands seagulls coach? Anyone in? (await response after the semis!)

HT - Thanks. Ref embroidery, it's something that I helped an ex services mate of mine out with when he got into it and he was struggling some 7 years ago. I got him into some business with the services and that helped him massively. He is now the MD of the company and he is now re-paying the...

OK, to set the record straight. The purpose of the thread was to: a. let the good folk of NSC know what I am doing so if you wanted something done, I can help you out with something that will not cost the earth. (NSC rates!) b. Thoughts on my username Certainly did not want to end up as a...

I have sort of left the Army fter 25 years (official last day 6 Jun) and taken up work as a Director for Motif8 ltd (embroidery and printing specialists) so, if there is anything you require (leisurewear, sportswear (football, Cricket, Rugby et al), Company T-Shirts, polo shirts, softshells etc...

Yes and it virtually crippled us, as like Coventry, we had to pay rent and this was based on attendances and more. Us not moving to Falmer a few years earlier neraly broke us and I suspect there was a big element of good will that helped us in the subsequent years. If Falmer didn't happen, we...

Just so there's no miscommunication here, Trig, you're being pwoper nawty!!:)

Thanks. I often see binfests begin on here over miscommunications.

Appears to be quoted in a sarcastic tone? Unless I am mistaken as meaning is often blurred in e correspondnace!

A bit different from the Pompey saga where the majority of their debt was caused by overspending on players and contracts. This was of their own volition and demise. CCFC were pretty much forced out of Highfield Road (a great are for renovation and re-development of the City centre) and went...

Yes, they basically earn nothing as all rent goes to ACL. Unpaid rent has no doubt been used to pay staff/players et al. Allegedly, they owe £1.5m. The problem when you don't own your own ground.

I suppose it's like hiring a conference room in a hotel for a board meeting or seminar. No overheads, turn up, go home and just pay what is owed. The only problem with this is that you have no commodity/asset to rely on, let alone identity. Hotel goes bust, then what? Do a wimbledon franchise...

I have a few CCFC supporting mates who keep me informed as to what is going on. Basically, the club rent the ground on matchdays from ACL who run the RICOH on behalf of the City Council. CCFC need to attract 12000 every home game to afford the rent, everything else above and beyond that is...

Totally agree. It's the manner of our performances which are disturbing. I was genuinely looking at the last 3 games with optimism thinking that 6 points from these would not be too tall an order; we should be beating the bottom teams with the squad and quality we have. The problem is we are not...

I don't, as a rule, criticise Gus, or the team, but 1 point from 9, and when we have played 2 of the bottom 3 teams is very poor. 1 goal scored is also a very poor return. However, this has been the case all season and we are not as good as we really think we are. In my opinion, the team is...

I was there in the North Stand, it was against Sheff wed (we lost 3-1). No, he did not wear a track suit but he was lifted aloft to much applause. IMO he should never of managed us and if we had stuck with Bailey we would have had a better chance of staying up; however, we would not have gone...

Looking forward to this. Leaving in Half an Hour. Predicting a 2 nil win today. Ironic if both Brum teams are beaten by both Albions today!

Totally agree. Unfortunately, our tactics are the problem. Too slow, too predictable and no incision. Watching the game last night, you could see it etched in the players' faces that they do not believe in this system. For the 2nd game running, we have played a 4-5-1 at home - a very negative...
