Walking back up that hill from the away section with nearly 5000 Cov fans singing Que Sera Sera, it doesn’t get much better than that!

High time we brought back Alan Randall’s George Formby esque ‘Coventry City, Coventry City, We are the Sky Blues, Wherever we play, home or away, we’ll support you win or lose (repeat) City, City, we are the Sky Blues, City,City, we’ll support you win or lose’. Played when they came out in the...

Better get some practice in then

A big point of difference between Jimmy Hill and Mark Robins is that Jimmy had the backing of a very ambitious chairman in Derrick Robins (no relation). By the standards of the time Derrick Robins was also very wealthy, and prepared to put his money where his mouth was. Mark had, for the most...

Before the Leicester game there was a lot of talk about them buying seats in the Cov end, something they’ve tried before. In fact about 40 tickets were cancelled. Given that end of row seats in Singers Corner were released for that match it wouldn’t have surprised me when they scored if quite a...

TLAs everywhere! (Three letter abbreviations)

I went to my first match in March 1969. I was nearly 7. For some time I’d wanted to go with my dad. He’d bring the programme home and reading that took me rapidly from causing concern about my reading progress to devouring everything football related such as Goal and Shoot. The 4-1 win over...

Dewsbury-Hall today

I think my dog could manage that Leicester squad to be top of the championship.

The twat deserved the grief he got, kicking the ball into the crowd.

Still smoke signals from the Ponderosa!

If only Mark and Adi would read this forum and take the advice generously proffered, they’d be even better.

Me and the lad had a season ticket at Cov when SISU held CCFC hostage in Northampton. League 1 playing the likes of Old Albanian in front of 800 as you say. Mind you that was still relatively good support for rugby in that division. First watched Cov at Coundon Road in the glory days of the...

Block 15 as usual with the lads. Given my gentle advance towards senility and decorum I’m usually selective in joining in with the singing but I expect to turn the dial up to full bellow on Boxing Day.

I was also at the infamous match, at the tender age of 15. Kick off was delayed as 38,000 tried to pay at the turnstiles, including 15,000 from Bristol. We were 2-0 up and cruising. The fact is that if Sunderland got a point at Everton then either us or Bristol would go down. Bristol came back...

Used to be the way in the West End in the 70s. Two parallel barriers from back to front about a metre apart, filled with coppers, with both sets of fans flobbing at each other across the divide. The good old days.

A few years ago went to the old Dell at Southampton one bitter winter day with the old man who was about 63 then. Half time dad opened a hip flask with whiskey in it. One of their stewards told him to put it away. Old man told him to fuck off and nearly got arrested. Would have been one of the...

Glad you’re ok
