    There's no escape from all this doom and gloom

    Had to wait for my daughter to finish drama and was sitting in the car bored with an hour to kill. All I could think of was Wasps and Sisu and ACL and CCC and our poor form and 3-5-2 / 5-3-2 and Pressley's baffling post match ramblings etc. etc. etc. Decided I would take my mind off it all...

    How about this for a franchise story

    The Indianapolis Colts have perhaps the most complex history of any football team in the NFL. The Colts can trace their history as far back as 1913, with the founding of the Dayton Triangles. The team then went through the following changes: Franchise became a road team in 1924, although...

    Trust meet Wasps

    Trust say they have had a very encouraging meeting with the Wasps owner. Richardson says he sees CCFC as a partner rather than a tenant.

    Poland v Germany

    Just checking one or two results on the Beeb website and I noticed the Poland score tonight. 2-0 to the Poles. :o I then remembered that the game was on ITV4 tonight and wondered if anyone on here watched it? Looking at the stats you just wonder how on earth it ended up as 2-0. Possession -...

    Black and White

    As per usual it is nothing but. Lot of high horse riding going on these past few days on here I feel. Looking at the whole picture I can see why people's opinions differ and it's not just as straight forward as black and white as it may seem. Some is black, some is white, large chunks are...

    News from the meeting

    Would recommend people tuning in to CWR. They have been broadcasting some feeds from the council chambers. Leader of the Tories - Yes, in favour. Also surprisingly said the Ricoh was built with 2 franchises in mind. Lucas, leader of Labour- Yes, in favour. Talked about this putting Coventry on...

    If councillors believe that CCFC will leave and build a stadium outside the city

    They simply have to vote no based just on that don't they? If it means losing the top sports club of Coventry to an area outside the city, not governed by the city council, they have to vote against. Coventry simply cannot allow it's own football team to be lost from the city. They also have...

    New stadium - Let's suppose for a minute ....

    Forget about whether or not the new stadium idea has previously been pure fantasy for a minute and think about here and now if the Ricoh is sold. Suppose now Sisu believe the only way forwards is a new stadium, because they simply cannot get their hands on the Ricoh. What are the obstacles...

    Latest SBT statement

    There has been much rumour, speculation, guess work and conjecture concerning the story that appeared in the Coventry Telegraph about Wasps rugby club taking a controlling interest in ACL, the current leaseholders and management company of the Ricoh Arena. The Sky Blue Trust has spent the...

    Latest Preston crowd estimate

    Before tonight's game I would have said another 11,000ish crowd. We lost tonight though, so it's now probably down to 10,0000 as it stands. Lose on Saturday against Rochdale and it will go down to 9,000 and if it is raining on the 27th when Preston come you can probably knock another 1,000 off...

    Dave Gorman

    Just been watching 'Modern Life is Goodish' and just wondered if anyone else liked him and/or indeed, the show? It's an interesting one for me, because I find him humourous, but just not laugh out loud funny. Always find that relaying the recolection from the show to other people brings more...

    England Rugby World Cup - Women's

    Anyone watch the final, England v Canada. Have to say that women's rugby seems to be of a much better standard than women's football. Anyone else concur?

    Snapshot of your TV world

    Away from the monotony that is everything Sky Blue and to get away from all the repetitive threads, just wondered what is currently on your Sky Plus/Tivo/Now etc.box at the moment. What programmes do you set it to record and what's on there right now? I have a Tivo box. At the moment mine is...

    29th April 1967 City v Wolves

    Houch's old photos got me thinking. Now amongst all those pics is one of the open top bus ride around the city centre after we won the league in 1967. On 29th April was obviously that really famous game between City and Wolves at the top of the table, when 51,000+ were at HR. City won 3-1 and...

    I know this sounds a bit paranoid/conspiratorial

    But what do people think of these 2 reviews of this Aldi manufactured tie in product? Sound suspiciously dodgy to me and quite possibly dare I say, self penned. Basically here I have been looking at a cheap tablet for my daughter and Aldi have one on sale this Thursday 7th August for just...
