    Favourite manager ever?

    City: Eric Black. A bit like JFK, everybody loved him because he didn't get a chance to get it wrong. If he hadn't been sacked he might have slipped up and lost the fans, but it was the most sustained period of entertaining football (and big wins!) in a long time. Ever: Obvious choice but it...

    My Grandma...

    ...is coming to the charity game, along with her sister! They're both in their 70s and have always supported Coventry, but never been to a game. She always listens to them on the radio and when I was at university she would post the newspaper clippings of match reports to me (it didn't seem to...

    Worst game you've ever been too?

    A 0-0 draw at home to Brighton in January 2003. At least games where we've been battered have had some goals, this was just the blandest game with nothing to remember except the icy cold temperature!

    My latest ramblings

    Brilliant blog, well done. Have you sent this to the Football League? I've emailed them three times now and got a reply twice (I'm still waiting on my third reply, but then I only sent the message this morning) so at least they are getting back - even if they probably are just copy and paste...

    Creative Protest Ideas

    That's a really good idea. The downside would be that we end up giving them money (potentially a worthwhile sacrifice if it makes a loud enough message) and that we would have to take a large number in order to make it effective. It might also be demoralising for the players. Would be a damn...

    Creative Protest Ideas

    I think it might be too long - if you imagine the length of the words in most stadium seating it's normally quite short. Also, if it's too long it won't fit in one shot as the camera lenses won't be wide enough. That's why I suggested "SOS" as you could arrange people into 3 simple chunky...

    Quick Favour

    It couldn't find Joy Seppala, so it seems to be working just fine.

    Creative Protest Ideas

    I will definitely be at the Ricoh this Sunday. I've already got my girlfriend and family coming along as well and have started whipping up interest from friends. I think it will be a great image and powerful message. And I'm always happy to see Huckerby wearing Sky Blue, however old he is!

    Creative Protest Ideas

    I like this idea - I think if we did that we should all have something which sets us apart from the rest of the crowd, to make it clear who our allegiances lie with and so nobody can be confused about their sudden spike in attendances. Our Sky Blue tops would be the obvious answer, or some other...

    Creative Protest Ideas

    (I started writing this as a response to CarpyCov84's post about pitch protests, but went off on a bit of a tangent so thought I better start a new thread) The subject of pitch protests is being discussed more and more on here, and with good reason. However, I believe we need more interesting...

    Could a new team be formed?

    I have been thinking about a new Coventry club for some time and my biggest worry is that it will struggle to unite the fans. If we look at the (somewhat different) AFC Wimbledon model, they were set up with gusto and quite a lot of momentum (national press coverage, ex-players and celebrities...

    Could a new team be formed?

    Hi guys, I've just joined the forum and thought where better to start than on an angry hot-potato topic like this?! Personally I feel that SISU (in combination with previous ownership) have really tainted my view of CCFC and I am finding it nigh on impossible to contemplate supporting them...
