    Security a bit over the top?

    My season ticket has been checked 4 times between the turnstile and my seat today, including at the bottom and top of the stairs out of the concourse when I was the only person on the stairs and the guy watched me walk up. Are we paying for this? It seems a bit unnecessary and borderline...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Scunthorpe United Match Thread - Saturday 4th Aug

    A good performance, thought we created a lot of chances and looked dangerous for the first hour. Last half an hour we really seemed to lack energy, and think this lethargy cost us the match. Don't understand the Biamou hating, I thought he had a good match today working the channels well and...

    Ponticelli

    I think minimum wage for a 17 year old is just over 4 quid an hour... based on a 35 hour contract 150 quid a week sounds about right to me. I guess some will be on more if they are a flight risk!

    Coventry City 2018/19

    I think we can finish top half, if we get to Easter in with a shout of the playoffs then I'd be thrilled. We have a young team, if they handle the step up and keep improving then who knows?

    Ponticelli

    It's not intended to be a post bashing the lad, he's very young and no doubt will improve substantially under the right circumstances. I'd always want him to do well, as I would any City player... especially one from the academy. My concern is he might regress under the expectation of playing...

    Ponticelli

    I'm a bit underwhelmed by Ponticelli's progress. Clearly the lad is a talented finisher from the goals he has scored in the U23s and occasionally for the 1st team, but he doesn't seem to have the confidence at the moment to be a 1st team player. He didn't seem to want to challenge today, maybe...

    GK - Burger LB - Brown RB - Sterling CB - Hyam CB - Willis CM - Kelly CM - Agogo LM - Allassani RM - Bayliss AM - Andreu CF - Biamou My team for Saturday based on what I've seen (or not seen in the case of Sterling, but Grimmer is looking out of sorts)

    Match Thread West Brom v Coventry City Friendly

    At this stage of preseason I'd hope we might have the core of the team starting together. Bit of a waste of time for fitness, they might as well have just chased a ball around Ryton.

    I know (pray) this wont be the team on Saturday. 4-0... the core is so weak.

    Bayliss to Derby

    Derby are currently a bit crowded in the central midfield positions, with lots of players who'll be on high wages and would likely rock the boat if not starting ahead of a lad with half a season in League 2. With their financial position as it is, I can't see this happening unless they can...

    Robins new contract!

    Bought my first season ticket since 2009 today on the back of this news... hopefully more of us start crawling back now there is some optimism about the place again and the team gets some investment to help sustain a second promotion challenge. The wife isn't too pleased.

    He was collosal tonight, at both ends.

    Best City XI of all-time (Left-back)

    My vote would be Stephen Warnock... wasn't here long at all but I think I'm right in saying he won Player lf the Year? Froggatt would be a close 2nd but much preferred him on the left wing. Started watching mid 90s.

    Still, better than not living in Northampton :-)

    Last day to get tickets

    Will actually cry if I have to go to sodding work before I get a ticket. Not living in Coventry has made life difficult to say the least...

    Not convinced the number is a queue number? If so pretty annoyed that mine keeps going upwards!

    Seb Hines On Loan

    Good player when fit... lets hope he can kickstart his career here. Pleasantly surprised we've signed anyone to be honest... with the signing of Nouble it all helps to keep the positive momentum building for Friday's return to Coventry. Let's hope the team put in a good performance and the new...

    Disturbing

    I'm happy about it... I feel that the council represents Coventry much better than the football team these days. I'd love for the club to be back in Coventry, but the current owners seem intent on increasingly turning the club into a basket case rather than following any obvious business logic...
