It’s comedy gold and hugely predictable once they lost. As someone else commented, listen to them you’d think it was like Agincourt with the air thick with bottles, piss, bags of night soil, sandwiches, and the odd kitchen sink being hoyed doon (I’m going to use hoy from now on). Lurid tales...

Probably the hardest and scariest defender in an era of hard and scary defenders in the 1970s. Yet again feels like a part of my early life has gone forever. Sad news. RIP Tommy and massive respect.

Wonder what they would do if it was the last game of the season and with ten minutes to go they are drawing and Barnsley losing, meaning that if they draw they’ll go up but if they concede they won’t? What would the fans want them to do? Especially if the opposition just need a point as well.

For the authentic and authoritative voice of Sky Blues fans ask Grendel for an interview.

In a word...amazing! Loud, passionate support from start to finish. Must help the team away from home no end to have that backing. Proud to have been a part of it.

Not in Blocks 14 and 15. Would be like the stewards and police were recreating the Normandy landings if one of the lads had a beer.

Well, well, well! It all used to be so straightforward, evil SISU, desperate to grab the Ricoh on the cheap and going on a rent strike to distress ACL so that they’d have to sell. I thought they took the club hostage when they went to Northampton so me and the lads never went. Doesn’t look half...

West End! None of this new fangled West Terrace stuff. But it was a terrace then. Packed in behind the goal, just lads, mostly teenagers, every week the real tension of a probable attack from the away fans unless we were playing Norwich, Ipswich, QPR or Southampton. Scary sometimes but oddly...

I like “very almost,” going to start using that!

Lucas, Seppala, Fisher or Stripey scum They might defeat us Or 4 years, Ann only said 4 years, Ann only said 4 years, she only said 4 years

Done. I didn’t go to Northampton. There had been a survey sent out by the club and I indicated my reluctance to go. Tim Fisher called me up and I told him I thought SISU were taking the club hostage. Ended up being invited to a meeting at Ryton, livened up somewhat by the emotional...

It makes no sense at all. Lucas did say that CCFC and CRFC would be protected. She said that to reassure everyone so that the Wasps deal could get through without creating too much uproar. That wouldn’t have worked if at the time she’d limited the assurance to 4 years, there would have been...

Fairly straightforward I’d say. It appears that Lucas & Co said back then that a condition of the sale to Wasps was that CCFC and CRFC should not be adversely affected. Now it suits them to deny that they said that, and so they claim that the adverse affect had a 4 year expiry. Observer is...

One of my favourite moments from last night was when David Meyler was asked about how much coaching Oggy does. His reply was along the lines...”listen, if some feckin goalkeeper came up to me and tried to feckin tell me how to play Centre midfield...”

David Meyler was very open about being shut out of the picture at Reading. It’s clear he will be a real leader and from all three it seems that he’s already positively influencing the dressing room. Nice little vignette about him physically ejecting Nigel Adkins from the dressing room because...

Held tonight, inaugural meeting, very well attended. Guests David Meyler, Dom Hyam and Bakayoko. Good fun, Meyler on particularly good form. These events are great for fostering a real sense of togetherness between fans and the players whose human side we can often forget. Clive Eakin and...

Under English law there is no time limit for prosecuting sexual assault! You could be looking at 5 years for serial offending.

How do you put a figure on it? It’s not just season ticket holders. It’s not just the aggregate of all who have attended a game this year. It’s everyone who has ever supported the club. The club’s demise would affect everyone who has ever had a dad, brother, girlfriend, mate, whatever, who...

I go and watch Cov RFC occasionally with a mate, if we’re away somewhere crap. On Saturday he went to The Butts while I was at the Ricoh. Says he was running late and got to the car park at the ground about 5 minutes to 3. As he was paying the attendant his fiver a bloke with a London accent...

Hugely frustrating not to beat such a limited team and given that they had no control over whether or not we shot accurately they were lucky not to lose by at least three goals. We weren’t unlucky because missing sitters isn’t bad luck but a lack of skill or composure. Having said that we came...
