    Wasps on the up? I hope not!

    Let me start this by saying that I absolutely hate The Wasps Rugby Club. They waltz into the city riding roughshod over the heritage of Coventry Rugby Club and expect (and sadly get) the people of Coventry on board to go and watch the pantomime crap they call entertaining rugby. Now recently...

    Sisu - My message to you

    Having read and listened to the hundreds of tributes and positive stories regarding the Leicester Chairman it has made me wonder if Club owners and chairmen up and down the country (including Sisu) have started looking at how they treat their privileged positions as heads of their football...

    Should you be able to have a beer when watching the game at The Ricoh?

    What are your views on allowing alcohol to be consumed from your seat whilst watching Coventry City at The Ricoh? Apparently the EFL wants the 1985 ban lifted - I think this is a great idea so bring it on! EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey wants to lift the long-established ban on supporters...

    Lets sign Usain Bolt

    Think we should see if Usain Bolt fancies a move to The Ricoh. Would probably stick a few thousand on the attendances plus the worldwide PR would be awesome. We pulled off moves for Denis Wise & Joe Cole so who knows - we might be able to sort this one out. One of many stumbling blocks could be...

    New chants/songs

    Being at Charlton on Saturday and getting caught up with the singing I started thinking about freshening things up and thought of a new one for Bakayoko. To the tune of Karma Chameleon (Culture Club) - “Baka Baka Baka Baka Bakayoko” “He scores our goals he scores our goals...” “Baka Baka Baka...

    Wycombe Game Postponed?

    There is a good chance that the Wycombe game will be postponed due to International call-ups. Baylis - Sterling for England Shipley for Ireland It’s been a while since that happened due to Coventry players being selected. Weakened team??

    Hero to Zero

    Thinking of players we loved here who moved on thinking the grass was greener & spectacularly back-fired. 3 Recent ones that spring to mind - Marc NcNulty (although he could turn it around) George Thomas Duckens Nazon I’m sure the list is endless - but they must be players we thought were...

    Michael Doyle Testimonial

    This cropped up at the Leamington Supporters Club last night. Michael Doyle has been at The Sky Blues for 10 years (over 2 spells) which is unusual these days for any player. Should the club grant him a testimonial as a show of appreciation? If so who should the testimonial game be against? I...

    Does a Stadium Solution exist?

    Time is ticking and at the end of this season we may not have a home. Is there a quick "damage limitation" solution to this problem? I suspect that another 1 year extension might be granted in order to allow legal procedures to conclude and to keep the status quo until we get to a point of no...

    Throw ins - Are we missing something?

    Am I the only one who thinks we have a throw in problem? Our throw ins do not seem to give us any advantage at all - we seem to throw it to a player under pressure or simply throw it and instantly lose possession. Just noticed that Liverpool have taken on a dedicated "throw in coach". This guy...

    Attendances dropping

    Will Maddison be in the England Squad??

    I've a sneaking feeling that Southgate is looking at adding Maddison to the England Squad. I think he is good enough and I'm hoping that CCFC have a clause in his sale contract to Norwich stating that we are going to get a sizable payment if he does make it and plays a game. :emoji_fingers_crossed:
