    Match Thread Norwich City - Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 26th Jan

    Not Boxing Day, we played that match on 27 December 1986. We played QPR away on Boxing Day, and lost 3-1. Micky Gynn scored for us. The match versus Spurs was astonishing though. The crowd reaction when Regis got the winner was remarkable.

    Match Thread Stoke City - Coventry City [FA] Match Thread - Saturday 10th Jan

    Don't the loan deals will have an expectation that they'll have a certain amount of time on the pitch? This was one of the reasons why Oggy has argued against loans - it puts constraints on the manager. It may also explain the termination of the loan to Portsmouth. If so, then playing them both...

    We usually park in the area around Cafe Fenton (e.g. Baker Street). Parking is free, the walk is fine and the locals are friendly. Cafe Fenton itself is a nice place for a spot of lunch. After the match you avoid the worst of the traffic.

    Do we think there's any chance that he'll play both Kitch and Woolfenden to give them more experience of playing together ahead of Leicester and Millwall?

    Yes, EMC was offside, unfortunately. It was a good call by the assistant referee

    I was in the Sky Blue stand. It was my brother's first game - what a start. I was absolutely convinced that Liverpool would still win right up until the 4th goal. I remember that sense of relief when Gibson scored that goal. Going into school the following Monday, with all the plastic Liverpool...

    Match Thread Ipswich Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 6th Dec

    Memories of that awful afternoon in February in the Cup vs Ipswich remain raw. They played a mostly second string side and beat us at a canter. This will be a good test of how far we've come (and how far they've slipped).

    Stadium update

    The steeper stands are a real asset. Far better sightlines, more imposing, it feels larger. But it doesn't have the slightly frightening over-steepened feeling that you get at Reading. It's a shame that the stand on the hotel side is so poor - it that was similar to the opposite stand, it would...

    Sheffield Wednesday (a) tickets

    Go to Kelham Island - the walk is about 35 mins or you can take the tram (from Shalesmoor) or the bus to the ground. Lots of good pubs there.

    Sheffield Wednesday (a) tickets

    Yes, we have had real problems with both Leicester and Sheff Wed. The ticket office staff just shrug their shoulders and call it a glitch.

    Stadium update

    The West Coast Maine Line is the busiest mixed-traffic system in Europe, not the busiest line overall (by passengers, this is the Elizabeth Line). But only a portion of traffic on the WCML goes through Coventry (the Rugby - Stafford portion carries a lot), so the WCML through Coventry is...
