Why would it be controversial

We're charging £37 to watching bloody Norwich on Saturday, the same price for one of the big 6 is hardly unreasonable.

We're not charging the bulk of fans £37 on Saturday though are we? Just the select few who didn't get a ST.

If season ticket holders are charged £37, we probably won't sell out.

Didn't attend the minus 8 degrees game in L1?

Loyalty points revoked.
No, I only got into away games after I moved away from Coventry a year ago, probably because I got used to travelling nearly 2 hours for every home game. Before then, I’d typically do a handful away days in a season.

Maddison seems like a prick from what I've been told by everyone who knows/met him, nor does he ever talk about City since leaving us.. pretty sure he was a Man U fan anyway growing up

Somone has an agenda!

There are plenty of instances of his referencing us since leaving if you look hard enough from referring to McSheffrey as his favourite player when he was growing up, or his pleasure at scoring the winning goal against Villa because of his CCFC connections, or referring to us as as the team he supported on a blog that was referred to on this site earlier in the Summer.

No agenda just saying.. I've always seen him say in interviews that he supported Man U and there's loads of vids of him wearing a man utd shirt as a kid etc but never a cov one! But interesting I will try and find those examples

Except it was L2 - the coldest I've ever been!
Agreed. I remember the steward giving me the old rub down making small talk and asked what score I thought it was going to be, my reply was just a simple "as long as it's not 0-0". Thank god for that McNulty penalty!

That cup game at WHL….that 87 replica kit we wore felt very tinpot. Bale scored in front of us after about 10 minutes and it was all over from then on.
We thought that when Clive Allen scored after 90 seconds too. Fight til the game is won 😉

Does it matter who he supports?

Just don't get how you can be a cov lad born and raised as well as play for the academy and club but not support us, but anyway my point is more about the people who someone mentioned earlier about being happy for him when Incester won the FA Cup, like why? He doesn't play for us any more or care about us, when he plays against us at the CBS why should he get some kind of special attention, I liked him when he was a player for us yes but that's it, same with when O'hare or Gus plays against us later on in the season.

I've just been reading how the gate money is split. 45% each team and the remaining 10% into a pot. That pot is then split 50/50 between the PL (20) & FL (72).
I believed you but needed to see this with my own eyes. It's scandalous. By the rules, Tottenham’s financial gain from the match is greater than ours: Carabao Cup Rules

I may well be missing something here, but how will they earn more out of the game than us ?
At the end of the competition, the 10% paid into the pool account is split 1:1 between Tottenham and the other 19 Premier League teams and us and the other 71 EFL teams.

I watched the 87 cup final today for the first time in a very long while!! I never realised how immense Trevor Peake's performance was in that game. Has there ever been a better centre-half display by a Cov player? His game stats must have been off the chart.

One of my all time favourites. A rolls Royce of a defender.

No, they beat us 3-0 in a cup game at HR and then again at WHL.
Yeh remember that home one. Shortly after relegation wasn't it? Remember thinking the gulf between the teams was massive and how bad we'd got so quickly.

Just to clear things up

Maddison is a Cov fan. Had referenced us many a time in interviews and is regularly back here visiting his parents on hipswell highway

Played football with his dad for a while down Stoke Green around 08 - 2013ish. James was only young but occasionally joined in and absolutely took the mick out of grown adults, you knew he would go far

Still stops to speak to those he knows, read afew stories about him 'being a prick' but thats not my experience 🤷
