    Match Thread Coventry City - Burnley FC Match Thread - Saturday 5th Apr

    We've done that a handful of times in the last 50 years, mate. If 'big' is based on success, which I'd argue should be, both Burnley and Blackburn have spent much more time in the top flight than us (60/72/34).

    Match Thread Coventry City - Burnley FC Match Thread - Saturday 5th Apr

    Depends how you deem a club to be big or small. Current standings are purely money-based and Bournemouth have had a wealthy backer for the last decade. Prior to that they have spent almost their entire existence in tier 3 and 4 playing in front of crowds between 4-6K. They're 'natural'...

    Amongst the best in the league? We're the best in Europe statistically aren't we? Agree, Rudoni feels key for this one.

    Struggling to feel much confidence about this. We tend to concede in most games and that risk will only increase without Dovin/Wilson. Burnley have conceded 6 away goals all season which is obscene so conceding first will potentially feel terminal. A draw will fee like a win and would give...

    I've just looked at the first goalscorer odds as well. Haji Wright 13/2 Thomas-Asante 13/2 Aidan Dausch 13/2 Ellis Simms 7/1 Poor Ellis. I've got as much chance of being in the squad as two of those above him.

    https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/136877-i-hate-derby-but/page/2/#comment-7699257 A lot on your forum seem to disagree. Ps you’ve taken the time to register on another team’s forum who you don’t regard as a rival. Mate, go out and have a beer or something.

    Agree!

    Sakamoto

    Certain songs work. It's the cadence, key and punchy nature of EMCs which makes it work. The Sakamoto doesn't work as a chant on any level.

    TOFFS Retro Kit Sale, CCFC gear too (closing down?)

    Probably because most clubs are now selling retro gear themselves whereas in years gone by Toff were the only real player in the market.

    Sakamoto

    Couldn't agree more. The current Sakamoto song just doesn't work as a football chant. You can barely hear it when its sung. Contrast that with EMCs which is pretty much perfect for a stadium chant, just like the old Co'H, Hamer and Gyokeres ones were.

    Coventry City 101 Greatest Goals

    Busst scored our goal v Wimbledon in the opening match of 94/95. I sat in the newly opened East Stand. Another pathetic crowd of about 10K I think.

    What are they doing in the Tesco carpark?

    We have to take food with us everywhere (my youngest is coeliac too). The options in and around the stadium are shite. Further afield Playwrights is brilliant (we go there sometimes) and Golden Cross in town is really good.

    What are they doing in the Tesco carpark?

    Speaking as a coeliac somewhere offering GF options would be a nice novelty. Literally limited to a jacket potato from M&S atm, and good luck getting a table in their with the kids on a matchday.

    Coventry City 101 Greatest Goals

    Yeah I have these. They were from the 95/96 season but didn't last long from memory. I'll dig them out.

    Careful. Our average attendance was 9K in L2 7 years ago and is now over 27K.
