I see some of our fans went to the game yesterday. Presumably all of them season ticket holders. Slightly odd, but fair enough. They bought season tickets before we went into this phase of collapse. But they must have gone with the purpose of protesting against the owner. No one has any other reason to be there. As I understand it, Coventry fans and indeed staff showed some support for us. So playing their song, whatever it is, seems a reasonable thank you. If word gets to him, our owner will not be happy. A signal of thanks to the away side for their stance on the protests.

Well done, and thank you

What an odd thing to say

Can you have a go at explaining why you - and people like you - make this sort of comment? No one argues that you do not have a right to go to the games, or to make your own mind up. Literally, no one is arguing that at all. So when you say "I have a right to decide", you are howling at the moon. Of course, you have a right to decide. The argument of the majority of fans is that revenue streams should be shut down as far as can be done, and we would call on all fans to boycott. Your case needs an argument, not that it is lawful to supply revenue, but that it is the right thing to do. Just as the argument for boycotting is not that "we have a right to boycott" - true, but irrelevant. It's that while it may well not be decisive, it's action towards the only thing that the club currently needs, which is the disappearance of Chansiri.

I sometimes think the supervolcano can't erupt soon enough.

No. I want my club back. I

The fans who went tonight are despicable. "It's a chance for us to go because it's cheap". "Support the team, not the owner" And most stupidly of all - "It's a free country and I am entitled to go". Morons, all. The fan base is, in fact, reasonably united. Good boycotts for both the cup games. We'll not get to 100pc. Doesn't alter the fact that the people who went tonight are despicable.

It is in the great scheme of things a small number. As it was for Leeds. The Leeds story was of a boycott, rather than of a few thousand halfwits who we could well do without. All the same. Halfwits they all are, and irritating ones too.

Good stuff. Let's not be dismayed by the inevitable fact that some of our fans our wibbling cretins who deserve to see their club disappear. The Leeds boycott was well observed. In normal circumstances we'd have had four times as many there. We'll not get 100% for Grimsby. But we can hope for a decent haul. I imagine him as Smeagol. Clinging on desperately above the fiery lake of Mount Doom. Time to stamp hard on his fat fingers.

Good piece. In the end, it probably comes down to the fact that he's a pathetically stupid human being. He's got the £100m in his mind, from some vague thought process of how values have inflated and likely will continue to inflate; and a sense that he should be recouping money put in. All thorough nonsense, of course, but he is borderline messed up, and can't be reasoned with.

Great journalism. Mark Twain said that he had never actively wished for a man to die, but there were people whose names he had been glad to see in the obituaries. As to the morons buying tickets and products, I wish them all stubbed toes, cancelled trains, and bad weather holidays.

The early 90s team was very good, but not great; it's a sad state of affairs that for me age 59 it's the best of my lifetime (and I don't expect to see a better one). On its day it truly was great, and during that purple patch from January 1993 through to kick off time in the League Cup Final it may well have been the best team in England. But that didn't last, and wasn't built on.

I'm surprised if that's controversial

That is true, and "for years" takes us back a long way. It could be very flat in the early 90s when we were going well. When Hillsborough is at its best, it's great, but much of the time it is mediocre

A subtle and fascinating analysis.
