    Lowest ever league pyramid position

    Not quite! Final position 74th this season. We effectively finished 76th (1926) 74th (1927) 82nd (1928) 76th (1957) and 84th (1958) when the 3rd division was split between North and South. Lowest for 60 years though, so not worthy of a pitch invasion!

    Match Thread Tamworth match thread

    Went to Tamworth yesterday. Enjoyed the game. Always difficult to assess pre season games but good goals scored. Ponticelli was constantly trying to get into good positions but only had two opportunities. Muffed the first but took the second really well. Bayliss (4) played well as did Steadman...

    How many away grounds have you done with CCFC?

    I'm one of those saddos that have kept a record of every football match ever been to. Have visited 82 of the current 92, 77 with Coventry. In total, have seen Cov play at 102 grounds and have been to 143 altogether, many non league. All on a spreadsheet, with help from my son, who is only 2...

    New Site

    Hi Nick New website looks good. If it's easier to use on mobiles I might contribute more. Usually struggled to even log in- my fault probably choosing a non-user friendly user name!! Can't recall using the likes button much so if people don't like me I'm not too worried!

    The Worst Team - GK

    Many to choose from but my vote would go to Raddy Avramovic. He also conceded the goal that Steve Sherwood scored for Watford (their goalie!) Apparently provoked an argument at half time between him and then manager, Bobby Gould.

    Best City XI of All-time (Strikers)

    Best partnership was Wallace and Ferguson but Dion Dublin is the best striker I've seen at the club and Robbie Keane the most talented, but was only here for a short time. All things considered I will say Dublin and Wallace. 70s

    Best City XI of All-time (CM)

    Haha! Me too! Remember selecting a best ever team about 15 years ago. The team hasn't changed (no surprise really!)

    Best City XI of All-time (CM)

    Terry Yorath and Steve Hunt. 70s Boateng, McAllister and Emerson all excellent suggestions as well.

    Wilson or Armstrong ?

    As much as I am a massive fan of Callum Wilson, I said to my son after the first few games Armstrong was better than Wilson. I've seen nothing to change my mind since. Wilson is maybe more physical but is 5 years older!! Imagine how good Armstrong could be in 5 years- he already is so much more...

    Best City XI of all-time - LM/LW

    Won't disappoint with my selection either! Tommy Hutch all day long - the best and most exciting player I have ever seen! Part of a great 77-78 team that scored for fun! 70s

    Really hope Leicester win the Premier League. Who's with me?

    NO!!!! Living in Hinckley, I would never hear the end of it, place is swarming with Foxes fans!! That said, I have a grudging respect for the way they are playing and for the supporters getting right behind them. I would say they are certainties for a Champions League place but please....not...

    Interesting Read - Pressley Speaks

    Quite right that the apprentices should be helping out with all the mundane jobs around the football club. Helps to keep them grounded. Regularly noticed that they used to collect the balls up after the pre-match warm up (often Ryan Haynes!) Pressley had plenty of good ideas but never sorted the...

    Worst Stadiums

    I think Luton stands out. Carlisle isn't great, particularly for away fans! A non league ground which comes to mind is Rushall Olympic. There is a slope from side to side so that standing at the lower side you are eye level with the opposite touch line!

    Best Stadiums

    Best two stadiums for me are Old Trafford and the Emirates. Hillsborough always holds a special place in my heart as well - QF, SF, Oggy's goal! Enjoy going to many of the smaller grounds as well.

    Who's been to the fewest stadiums?

    Surprised at how few away grounds some of the guys on here have been to. Prefer away matches to home, and have started to go to a few neutral games each season (mainly non league). It becomes a bit of an obsession! 77 of the current 92 grounds visited. 115 grounds visited in total if you include...

    How old were your kids....

    My son was only 5 when I first took him - a 0-0 draw v Everton! He's now 25 and we go to 20-30 games a season. Last season went to other games as well, mainly non league. He loves his football but wishes Cov could have a good season occasionally! I was 10 when I went to my first game- my sisters...
