I meant in terms of they won't ditch Coventry City to go and support, say, Villa.It's not like deciding you don't like Tesco anymore cos of bad value and poor experiences so you shop at Asda instead.

Done. The big thing for me with the paradox is that you need to grasp that the supporters ARE the club. No fans, no club. And whilst we are customers, we get worse customer service than you would expect from any retailer or other entertainment industry. Unlike customers, we cannot "shop...

Agreed about the bopycott and new fans, but that math's doesn't add up: I'm nearly 42 and it's the lowest league position of my lifetime!

Yeah you need to get the missus to knit you one of those half and half scarves! Don't think they sell them for those two clubs together, oddly.... Apologies for the sexism.

Painfully, yes: he played alongside McAllister and was one of the many players not close to his wavelength when he was player-manager. Meanwhile half of our best players were down the Memorial Park training as part of the Bomb Squad. Pead did go on to get into the L2 Team of the Year for Walsall...

Well Noon is definitely a legend-at Nuneaton. Bates and Mackey might have a claim for that at The Brakes too, but I don't think Bates hung around that long cos they were at a very low level back then. Mackey's had two spells there I think but didn't recapture the glory or the goalscoring of his...

They'll be along in 30 years when nobody can recognise or remember them!

Yeah and tbf Whingy is probably a legend to my little brothers who were about 9 and 11 years old when he scored the screamer against Derby, which is a higher level than they have much memory of us playing at since. Not as much of a legend as Whingy on here is though, naturally. :)

Two of them could form a band, The Flying Pickerings. One of them has already had a single in the charts after all in '87. "Nick to the left of me, Ally to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with Pead". It's a shit business....

Nah the disciplinary record for "snapping in half" so many of the opposition would mean we'd struggle to field a side!

Lincoln.

Bearing in mind my earlier post about the fake traffic reports on CWR, maybe we should inundate them with fake travel info around the Ricoh area before and after Wasps games?!? Either they'll put people off going (if they read them all out) or CWR won't be able to tell the fake from the real...

That post match interview he did with Robins was painful to listen to, possibly the worst one yet? Robins sounds like he utterly loathes him and think's he's an incompetent idiot. "Willis came off injured (wincing sound), bit of a worry?" "What have you got that look on your face for?" "How's...

Local radio in a nutshell, that! If the adverts promoting their other shows are anything to go by and my memories of WM in the 90's accurate, their everyday listeners are a bit...special?

Only probably? You're so negative, Otis. Although yes, I suppose Real Madrid may pip them to his signature...

I know what you mean. For both, in a way-the second beat a lot of bodies on the way in too. I'm going with the theory that he expertly placed both of them! They were both beautifully curved. I bet he's good at golf. Or snooker.

You jest, but I didn't go to the Checkatrade final and I wouldn't bother to go to this-but I would have done before we went to Northampton. You're actually talking about the "glory" fans who have been to less than a dozen games since 87 I think...

Yes but my point is why I don't go. No move to Northampton and like loads of others, I would have carried on renewing my ST in whatever division. Moving was a line in the sand. The legacy of that is that my habit-and routine-of going to see City play every home game was broken and with a very...

Yeah it's what Northampton did to me too. And it's a hard sell L2, not really the thing to re-ignite the most pissed-upon flames ever is it? I'm amazed at people (like one of my oldest mates, so not new to supporting City) who think this is one of our "most successful season" in decades. Of...

He played really well from what I remember and won the fans over a bit! Good on him, one of the game's characters.
