    Match Thread Coventry City - Leicester City Match Thread - Saturday 13th Jan

    My hatred of Leicester stems from being a kid, and City not being on the TV much as the featured game. ( big understatement ) Leicester had this big inflatable tent over the pitch that they blew hot air into, to keep the ground playable in hard frost. This meant that they seemed to have a...

    Sunderland Fan In Peace

    Sunderland was the First Cup final i saw on a colour TV. Myself and my Dad went over to a neighbours house to watch Sunderland beat "Dirty" Leeds. That game back in 1973 was probably the reason i loved the FA cup so much, and longed to get there to watch City lift the cup. The flags, the...

    Worst fan you’ve ever sat near

    Sat next to a guy in the Sky Blue Stand, back in the early 90s. He was prob in his 30s sat with his Mum, and they would have a blanket and a flask to keep themselves warm. What annoyed me was his clapping. He clapped like thunder. Never heard anything like it before or since. The noise went...

    Match Thread Preston North End FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 4th Nov

    It was clear the ref was sticking to the rules after his demotion. I didnt know the "intent" decision on the penalty was actually a rule ? as from behind the goal i thought he'd booked their forward for diving ! ......but that decision, and also his awarding for a foul throw ( something i cant...

    Atmosphere at Today’s Game
