    Jack burroughs

    I thought Jack played well last night. He was the LWB and did not look out of place against a reasonably strong West Ham team. His defending was very good but he did not threaten much in attack. I think 40+ games in L1 will only be a positive experience and good luck to him. I thought the...

    Jack burroughs

    I live in Lincoln and have a ticket for the game vs West Ham this week - looking forward to see how he plays. All the Lincoln fans I speak to tell me he is one of their best players- quick, aggressive and strong. The season in L1 could be the making of him 🤞🏻🤞🏻

    The post about the poor family suffering domestic abuse was so moving. It brought tears to my eyes and was so humbling. Keep the fantastic work up.

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    I really liked Thomas but as someone said he often played like he was our best player having a bad game. I read he has had some personnel issues and it may be that he is going to Bristol because it is near his home town of Cheltenham. If that is the case I wish him all best and hope he has a...

    Club Legends

    Surprised no mention of Trevor Peake as I see him as probably the best defender I have seen play for the club. It’s easy to think of the the goalscorers and midfield aces but Peake was superb for many seasons. I am sure if he had played for a more fashionable club he would have got international...

    Membership / Season Tickets

    I would put Newcastle up there as well due to distances they travel. It amazes me to see them filling away ends for weekday evening games that involve a 500 mile round trip. I remember them playing at the Ricoh on a Tuesday evening with approx 3000 fans and thinking I wouldn’t like that journey...

    Video Mark Robins | Barnsley Reaction

    As a lifelong Coventry fan I would like to congratulate Robins on transforming the club’s fortunes. We have probably now retained our championship status despite suffering a disproportionate number of bad injuries and having one of the smallest budgets in the league. I am now hopeful that the...

    Season Tickets - Rallying Cry!

    I agree this is a massive turning point and we must do all we can to engage/excite our potential fan base. The tragic issue over the past few years is that the next generation of Sky Blues fans have been turned off by the poor form on the pitch and not playing in Coventry. I used to work in...

    Commentary on ifollow

    I agree and I have now turned all commentary off iFollow. The away commentary is dire and usually incredibly biased. I prefer just to watch the game and formulate my own opinion. I still find it incredibly stressful , far more than attending the games in person.

    Steve Hunt

    Steve Hunt was my favourite City player, particularly when he went from the wing to central midfield. He was a class act and fully deserved an England cap, albeit a couple of years too late. The game against Southampton when he launched himself into a torpedo headbutt on Steve Williams? was...

    Most goals by of City player in first team match

    I remember having a debate with my West Ham supporting mate on who between Smith and Paul Ince was the better prospect. At the time I really thought Smith was going to be the man. Well one went to Milan the other to Grimsby so proves what I know. I still believe as a 20 year old Smith had...

    Most goals by of City player in first team match

    I remember the Wednesday game well as I took both kids on a bitter winter evening. The friendly gatemen said how good it was to see 2 young girls at a footie game. Unfortunately my young son was not best pleased with the comment. We absolutely murdered them in the first half and somehow went in...

    Is anyone else feeling the pressure?

    Yes I agree it is very stressful watching on the ifollow. I have even taken my Fitbit off during the games as it was registering very high heart rates ! I now live a 2 hr drive from Coventry and get to about 12 games a season after I moved from Cov and stopped renewing my season ticket. It is so...
