In 1967 I was on special train number 3 for the long away trip to Carlisle on a. FRIDAY night, we lost 2-0. Remember playing bingo on the way home and won 8 quid a. fortune for a 15 year old back in the day. Got back to Cov about 2 in the morning and walked back to Radford had to knock the old...

Does Oggy get some praise for that ?

He might be a better "owner" than we give him credit for

Don't think it's for any other reason than to get match fit and upto speed,

Is it ? Give examples !!

So what's the plan then ? in your opinion

I'm not saying Malcolm Allison would have been a success but I think he would have been at that time a better bet than Noel Cantwell who apparently could have been Allison's assistant anyway. Allisons career as a first team manager wasn't brilliant admittedly. Who should we have got ? going back...

GPE you are spot on mate, those you have mentioned and one or two others have defended sisu for years, a lot of it veiled and backed by "I support ccfc" whatever. This ground issue is serious and is starting to bubble and I believe our future as a football league club is at stake. The bottom...

Why would BCFC move from Dt Andrews ? A ground within walking distance from the city centre and unable to fill anywhere near its capacity

My old man god rest him was well in with high flyers at the time connected to ccfc and he insisted to me Malcolm Allison was to be announced as our manager and he was bringing Noel Cantwell an old West Ham teammate as his assistant, Allison would have been the ideal successor to Hill equally...

Not read all the threads so apologise if I'm repeating any. This was always going to raise its head I've brought it up on here a number of times. Anyone who says the EFL doesn't have the power to do anything don't know what they are talking about to be honest. The EFL is not a dictatorship it...

The period between Hill and Milne were in my opinoin wasted years, and the blue print to our years of continued struggle in the top flight the appointment of Noel Cantwell was totally the wrong decision for ccfc at the time that being a rookie untried manager. Cantwell had good points he got our...

Roy Kirk had left way before JH became manager and Frank Austin soon after he came our full backs then were Bill Tedds and Frank Kletzanbuer both from Beduff I believe good Beduff name Kletzanbuer. Hill's first signing was Roy Dwight, Elton's uncle, then he signed John Sillett and Willie...

We ain't good enough and fans know it and fear the worse. As for booing what else can supporters do, they've spent money probably over. 100 quid and got shite in return and let's not forget the boos were for the manager too, he selects the players and tactics, seen as a bit of a messiah at the...

Ponticelli has to be good enough, good enough to play and mix it with seasoned pros who have been round the 4th division block a bit, miles different to what he has experienced so far, when he is and is ready for his chance I'm certain Robins will pick him, at the moment he is a prospect no more...

Robins had to replace virtually a whole squad with a new one, this is never easy and will take time to deliver, it might not deliver. Goalscoring is always the deciding factor, MRs brief flirtation with a bit of success here last time was the goals from McGoldrick and Lean Clarke to an extent...

Going on that station and mingling with supporters was undoubtedly provocative I have to say almost deliberately. It is the right of anyone in this country to go anywhere but common sense dictates you don't do that. I suspect it won't happen again and should it I fear for his safety to be...

Won't look out of place walking the streets of Coventry in that shirt will he

At this moment in time I find it difficult to gauge where we might be in 2027 but for now I see little prospect as we are now of being much better or higher than we are I just don't see any desire in being a lot higher from our owner to be honest. Very depressing when you think about it, then I...

It isn't so much new players we need more the players we have being set up and playing the right way
