Got talking to a few Bristol lads in the Wheatsheaf and they were impressed by the Ricoh but they said why we haven't got more supporters ? I thought about saying it was because of this and that etc but just came out with it's because we're crap.And they all nodded and agreed !

The European Championship is well under way now and the British teams are doing okay. But it got me thinking about a British team made up of former City players that I've watched over the years and here's my eleven who in their prime I reckon could have been a force to be reckoned with. Playing...

Wasn't Bristol City's manager Cotterill on a short list for the managers job here in Coventry before Pressley got the nod ? What a great job he's doing there as they are unbeaten and on top of the division. Makes you think I wonder if he could have done the same here ?

We fought hard to get back to the Ricoh and our persistence paid off eventually. But sadly the feelgood factor hasn't lasted and crowds are poor due to many factors,but the reality is that we are fragile as a football club due to poor ownership which has now culminated in a rugby club coming in...

Steven Pressley says he likes to watch top teams play and hopes to pick up ideas etc and try and copy them. Well if he watched Roma last night play against Man City he must have been impressed at how they play the game ? Fast build ups,counter attacks at pace,and solid defending,they are a...

Interesting piece on twitter about ticket prices. To go on Liverpool's Kop sets you back £46.00. A season ticket at Arsenal will cost £1,020 but to watch Bayern Munich a season ticket is a snip at £114.00 ! I paid £24.00 on Saturday to watch a league one match at the Ricoh. Something stinks here...

The majority of us like a drink before and after a match and even at half-time but on Saturday against Preston I've never seen so many fans leaving well before the end of the game to head on back to the pubs,and when I got back to the Wheatsheaf a large group were in there supping away and...

In the pub last weekend a bloke at the end of the West Ham v Liverpool match let out a big shout as he had bet on the Hammers to win at 3-1. I think he won around a hundred quid.I stopped betting on the Sky Blues ages ago as they always let me down so just have a bet now and then.What's the...

I keep hearing how great our away support is and although we get a good following on the road I feel until we start getting a decent crowd at every home match,and I mean in the twenties,we can't seriously say we are a well supported club.The Gillingham game was great but followed by a poor...

Saturday's game at MKDons was a bit of a let down to be honest as I expected more especially after the good news a few days before. But I have to remind myself this is League One football these days and let's be honest it is of a poor standard. So for anyone who hasn't been to a game for quite a...

I have a friend who supports Norwich City and she has just told me we've got a quality striker who if he stays fit will score a lot of goals for us.He was well liked at Carrow Road and she reckons we've got a player who can be a fans favourite for us. Let's hope he is the real deal then !

With talk of a return to the Ricoh and with a new season just started plus the rumour of Pressley maybe going to Huddersfield,is tonights match irrelevant and a hindrance ?

We all love the beautiful game but is it starting to lose the plot ? Players constantly on the move,clubs plunging down the leagues,barmy owners,crazy wages,dodgy contracts,short and long loans,and managers sacked on day one of a new season.It's hard to keep up with it all ! I'll always be a...

A friend of mine has read his books and even been to one of his conferences,which sell out huge arenas. He was on the City's books as a youth team goalkeeper,but is more well known for his books and talks on conspiracy theories and secret organisations etc.But is he a harmless crackpot or...

Any fans on here used to collect football annuals and put pictures in scrapbooks ? As kids we used to fill autograph books,get books for Christmas,and swap cards etc. Do kids still have that excitement and enjoyment now or is it all on computers ? My two sons weren't as mad keen on collecting...

Why has my thread about Malcolm Dugmore not being shown ? He was a fan so one or two might not know of his passing. Sorry it's not cheerful news but I was asked to put it on the site.

I heard on Saturday that Malc Dugmore has passed away from a heart attack aged just 46. He was a big City fan from Eastern Green and I got to know him and his mates from the Wheatsheaf when we were at the Ricoh.He was a great bloke who got a degree at Coventry University. His funeral is next...

A mate of mine loves Chess but to be honest it looks too difficult for me, plus you need loads of patience which I haven't got. Can anybody tell me why this game/sport is so popular ?

Having been a fan since the Jimmy Hill era I've witnessed many OMG moments like the Hud being told he no longer fitted into Jimmy's plans.Denis Mortimer being sold to Villa was a shocker,and many fans are disgusted at how Baker is being treated currently.What other moments have made you go "what...

I walked past the Ricoh on Saturday evening and stopped and stared at it for a while,and I got that feeling you can get when you bump into an ex girlfriend,and you look at her and think bloody hell why didn't I treat you better,as your really attractive and a bit of a stunner.So if we do get...
