You can see a vendor in the photo of Ernie Hannigan and Bobby Moore

Given that you could either go over or under the turnstile quite easily and cash was involved there was a bit of a three way win. The club could pocket tax free cash,as could the gateman, whilst intimidating fans or those with little kids could save a few shillings. I think it was two...

My first match was either the Hibernian friendly or home to Burnley. 1969 anyway and I was six! Loved the club, the players, the kit, the fans, the ground. Started on the Spion Kop with a box to stand on. Used to long to go in the West End but didn't dare till I was about ten. Grew up in...

They all look rather butch to me. Doesn't everyone?

Ernie Hannigan and you know who in front of the West End

Photos from The Coventry City Football Book by CET journalist Derek Henderson aka 'Nimmo', my Xmas present in 1970 (along with an orange and a lump of coal to suck on)

Love the fag!

The West End...again

Ah, those were the days...

Going from top of the table to bottom in a year!

Wright and Agyei were bad but Jesus was far worse IMHO

Mate of mine got community service for lamping someone. He had to spend time picking up litter and suchlike. Bet he'd have rather gone on the radio.

My cheque is in the post! Fnar, fnar

Did they get Geoff Foster in off the street one day? Stumbled across him commentating on Wasps recently when he obviously had a heavy cold and it was comedy gold. I think the average cat would do a better job. I also love how touchy Eakin gets when a caller suggests they could be more robust...

Warwick Uni students union are offering a ticket to Wasps v Toulouse for a tenner with free transport there and back! Tickets for all other games this season for a tenner too. A good way of generating interest but certainly a loss leader.

That's the trouble with this binary opposition between superfans and the glory-hunting 'most fickle fans in the country' in that anyone who hasn't so far attended a Checkatrade match is automatically publicly shamed. Having spent around £700 on season tickets and car park passes I have to date...

I have been plucking up the courage to tell the wife to stop telling me what to do for years! Soon, one day soon...

Not sure about that, nor content with blowing Wasps at every opportunity they regularly regale us with the latest developments at, err, Birmingham Moseley RFC.

Always happy to admit it when I'm wrong!

How annoying that someone who supported this club since 1969 in the top flight, saw European football once (would have been twice but for Heysel), saw us win the FA Cup, saw us signing Robbie Keane, Dion Dublin, Gary McAllister, Craig Bellamy and Mustapha Hadji, stood in crowds over 30,000...
