Ian Wallace was my 1st idol, then Gary Thompson. Followed in later years by Nuddy and Dion

No Stoke was the 1st match on a Friday evening, then Luton followed by Everton.

Best: Gary Thompson’s winner v WHU in the home leg of the LC SF - really thought it gave us a chance of going to Wembley for the 1st time, followed very closely by Keith Houchen’s goal in the Hillsborough FA Cup semi final. Worst: Cyrille scoring for Villa in the 2nd minute last game of the...

If you are willing to drive to Oxford Parkway the train comes from Oxford rather than Birmingham so in theory should have more space

Block 229 arrived @ 23.11

Driving from Faringdon (Oxfordshire) with my daughter to Ickenham, food, couple of beers, direct tube into Wembley.

We are there too!

Same here

Condolences to his family and friends. Like so many I didn’t know Mark but his posts on the club’s finances were always informative , insightful and a bloody good read. On a personal note I too am a qualified accountant and a lot of his posts were way over my head. He was obviously a very...

I can relax now

Last time I went there was an evening game when Kevin Kyle scored a last minute winner

People slate Allen as not good enough for this league, neither is Godden for top half of Championship

Me too. Ian Painter hit the bar for them, Stuart Pearce stuck ours away

Good shout. I drove back from university in Kent that morning to be there and stood very quietly on the the Holte all game. Terrible start and yes we were awful and never looked like we could get back in the game - I think a very young and raw Paul Furlong played for us that day. I didn’t know...

I remember so many of the games previously mentioned but one that stands out for me is the 3-1 FA Cup win at Anfield in the 90s. We weren’t planning to go but changed our minds that morning and went up not expecting too much. After Liverpool scored the 1st goal we ran them ragged and could of...

I agree I have sat in block 1 or 2 for the last few years. There’s never been any trouble down there - sure there has been some verbals and mockery but surely that’s part of the experience isn’t it, or it supposed to be like going to church? The Sunderland game has been mentioned- there was no...

My point is that I disagree with your assertion that “Coventry is very much a football city”. Maybe in the 1960s or very early 70s but since then? No. Nearly all of the people who I know that attend regularly don’t actually live in Coventry Apparently Leeds, Newcastle and Sunderland are...

I’m talking about the whole time I have been supporting the club. How is it we could take c16k fans to Wednesday in 87 when the Saturday we played them at home in front of 14k, including away fans? 30k plus v Crewe, 28k v Gillingham, 40k plus at Wembley twice, where are they all now?

All excuses - and I’m not slagging off anyone who goes to games, it’s the ones who only turn up for big games. I used to attend a lot of games when we were in Birmingham ( not all admittedly) but could I get a ticket for our ‘home’ match in the FA Cup v Birmingham?
