    Who was in goal the furst game you saw ?

    I i’ve always thought (or assumed) that Bob Wesson was in goal for my first game, which was on the 6 April 1963, at home to Halifax Town. The score was 5-4 to City, with a George Hudson hat-trick, the other goals scored by Dietmar Bruck and Jimmy Whitehouse. BUT - the 11v11 record shows that...

    Pre Season Friendlies

    Seem to remember it pissed down and we were in the open? We played them off the park for 20 mins then conceded a totally daft goal and promptly fell apart!

    Lampard - Next England Manager

    Think Lampard is a shoe in IF he can make a success of managing a club in the Premier League. Think Tuchel is only in contract to the end of the World Cup so may well go after that whatever. The Nations League final between Spain and Portugal showed how far behind the best teams in Europe...

    Blog The One Goal Club: Conor Thomas

    But that was the late equaliser at Molineaux back in League 1. It was a cracking goal, and as anyone of a certain age knows, Wolves are the real enemy, so it was a goal that had me jumping up and down! Particularly sweet as some Wolves arsehole had run down the touchline giving us the v sign...

    Your personal City cult hero

    Willie Carr! I wanted to be him, and I think your heros when you’re a young boy remain your heros.

    season ticket sales

    Is it that bad? I understand that you’re paying double but I guess that’s the point of the family zone, it’s cheaper to enable young kids to go with a parent(s). It works out at £15 a week over a year or £40 a game for twenty games, for 3 of you. I might be out of touch and forgive me if I am...

    season ticket sales

    Thanks all! I live near Newcastle and don’t get to enough games to build points. So for away games I’m usually in the home end, which is ok, but would prefer to be with my fellow Coventrians.

    season ticket sales

    Am I right in thinking that buying a season ticket gives you no advantage when trying to buy away tickets, that it’s all based on points accrued?

    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 13th May

    He played really well as well. Had Wright in his pocket, though that’s not saying much, unfortunately. Ballard was immense for them as well, won everything in the air. Having said that, they had very little else, and we should have buried them. Still wake up in the night and see that goal. 😟

    Yeh, I think the defence is ok now we’ve decided on Thomas and Kitchen. We are capable of controlling the midfield and in Rudoni we have a very good player in the making. Our problem is upfront as evidenced by us losing a game last night which we controlled for large parts.

    Centre Forward

    You’re probably right there, it’s just not Simms. And as I’ve just posted, Wright isn’t the man to do it on his own.

    Centre Forward

    I disagree, I’m afraid, I’ve said it before, he’s a bit of a flat track bully, when things are going well for us he’s fine, but I don’t think he’s a player to dig us out of a hole. You’ve mentioned Vik, totally different player, he would take on a whole defense on his own, and go toe to toe with...
