    How close to sell out crowd at the Ricoh?

    If they charge full price I'd guess 15k but if they leave it a £5 I think it should go over 20k but I'd be surprised if it came within much more than 10k of a sell out. Maybe if we get Bradford and they sell out we may end up with a few more.

    Remember the night Chelsea forgot the away kit?

    Yes, I remember Strachan played a blinder that night and Frank Leboeuf throwing his shirt off at the end and spitting on it. Very Gaelic.

    Im Sick Of This

    Go on any forum for any club in the country and you'll find people being negative. Whether that's not getting in the champions league or not winning the title or sitting mid table in the third tier. If you don't believe anything could be done better then well done you. Most people always see...

    The Senior Generation of Sky Blue Fans

    The problem now is top level football is so easy to see on the tv. When I started watching City in the 70s it was match of the day and probably Star Soccer on a Sunday and that was it. The odd live game if you we're lucky. To watch live top flight footy you had to go up the City. It's hard for...

    Gordon strachan says we will win

    The only one I remember was Garry Pendrey. I think he had someone Miller at the start. Wasn't Mick Brown Phil Neals assistant? I enjoyed Strachans teams in the main so I havent got anything particularly bad to say about him. He said some unfortunate stuff but was getting some serious stick at...

    Tottenham v Coventry match thread

    If Thursday is such a big game. Do you think the crowd will be as big as the Shrewsbury game especially when you could buy a ticket with lost money from down the back of the sofa?

    Strong Enough to Compete in the Championship?

    At the moment we are still mid table in league one so I think its a bit soon to consider how good this group of players is compared to championship teams. For arguments sake I would guess we are at least 5 players short of being competitive in the championship but unless we get out of this...

    FA Cup Memories

    Ignoring 87 the most enjoyable games Ive been to were the away games at Liverpool won 3-1 and Villa won 1-0 Dublin, Boateng, Huckerby team and the away game at WBA with Nuddys winner off the post. Worst games were the Sheff Utd qtr final defeat and Derby at the baseball ground we were 2-0 up (I...

    Where were you in 1987 ?

    I was also there and had just had my 17th birthday. Didn't go to the charity shield though and looking back and haven't a clue why.

    Yes and if we don't get out of it we will be playing in it for ever and you can enjoy the JPT every year.

    Not Interested in Spurs game

    If I could pick one I'd go for a win over Spurs all day long. JPT was shit last season and the season before that and just cos we're in it doesn't change that, it's still shit. If we win the thing I wont complain but I wont be having a party either.

    Not Interested in Spurs game

    I wouldnt exactly say I was making it up as we didnt get 15k about 14 times last season meaning we did get more in the rest. Of the seven games you mention (and the only other game where we broke 13.5k was Portsmouth) three of them dont break 13,800 home support so its pretty close really. I...

    Not Interested in Spurs game

    Last season we had less than 15k about 14 times and when you look at the higher attendances normally they were higher because of the away support. Our home support was 13.5k last game and thats about as good its going to get in this league and about as good as it got last season apart from about...

    Fm2013

    I've got it on the ipad and I must have been stealing from the club shop. I got sacked in my first season in November when we were 7th in the league. A bit harsh I thought. I couldnt get another job at the same level and had to drop to the BSP. Now Im back in league 2 in my 3rd season on the...

    3rd Jan 1998 FA CUP 3rd Round Liverpool 1 Coventry City 3

    Nice one, great memories. I can just see me and my brother on both the second half goals. We were right against the barrier about 3 rows from the front.

    Attendance against Shrewsbury

    14k I reckon. It would be great to get more but being realistic we only get big gates (18k+) when the away following is at least 4k and do you think Shrewsbury will bring more than 1k?. So I reckon 13k home and 1k away.
