Oh come off it mate, he’s spotted the plumes of smoke over Nuneaton & bottled it hasn’t he 😏

If you had the KFC 🤔 definitely!!

Yes.

Sorry to hear, condolences to you and your family, RIP fellow SkyBlue 🩵

Really, a Hillsborough situation, with just over 30,000 in the ground, I was at countless games in the 1970’s at HR with well over 30,000 gates.

It would seem that London, Birmingham, Liverpool & Coventry were the 4 major IRA hotbeds on the mainland. Coventry was actually the scene of the IRA’s first major atrocity on the mainland, a bomb exploded in Broadgate Square killing 5 and injuring many others in 1939.

Yeah pretty much, it attempts to be a kind of social study of life in provincial cities at that time, racism, poverty, NI troubles, unemployment, riots, addiction etc. All the issues bought to the fore by the popular music scene of the day “2 Tone” and in particular “The Specials” A decent...

The story unfolds after 2 Tone has already been created, I really don’t think it‘s got anything to do with the creation of that particular genre, it’s more an attempt to show what life was like in those areas at that particular time. Though I do agree, it’s not all that good.

While the league table doesn’t lie, it sometimes doesn’t tell the whole story. Yes they are 6th but still 9pts behind Spurs who are 5th and a full 32pts behind leaders Liverpool.

Christ, I haven’t lived in Coventry for 45 year’s, but even I recognised Riley Square, Bell Green, The many shots of the ring road, the Cathedral and the estate in Spon End.

They could rescind any punishment already imposed on club’s, and start the process again.

I’m sure they don’t mind throwing points deductions at the likes of Forest or even Everton, but at some point they’re gonna have to apply the rules to Chelsea, Man City etc. Wont happen IMHO, I’ve always thought they’d find a way around it.

The stumbling block to that, would be the latest news reporting that the EPL are working towards abolishing points deduction as a punishment all together. all major news agencies reporting this now, so would be amazed if it didn’t happen.

Is anyone really surprised!! Football ‘at the highest level’ in this country mirrors our society perfectly, corrupt & rotten to the core 😞

I did 😇

That’s a pretty fair assessment tbh.

The standard of refereeing in general does seem to have gone down (certainly at this level) the only saving grace today was that he was just as bad for them as he was for us, which isn’t usually the case.

Nothing like a bit of success to get everyone at each other’s throats. Like it or not, professional football has changed beyond recognition & not least for the spectator, I used to seek out the area’s in the ground with noise, adrenaline & atmosphere, but I’m older now so not so much. I really...

I purchased 2 tickets last year for the play off final from a Newcastle fan, he then subsequently had his Club Wembley membership revoked, he’d touted the tickets online & been reported. Thankfully he emailed C W to say that I was a friend and no money had exchanged hands, I then received an...

They definitely are not allowed to sell their club Wembley tickets to anyone, In fact they’re not supposed to sell them onto anybody, if they’re not planning on using their seats they’re supposed to inform Wembley who will try to offload their seats 🤔 for a fee of course.
