    Burge

    One thing that the team relegated to League Two were not was good. (although with a proper manager at the end of that season, Robins, that changed). I don't remember Burge being any worse than anyone else under Venus or Slade. He was also in the League Two Team of the Year, voted for by fellow...

    Genuine Question-SISU

    Because we were on a downward spiral when they took over, it was inevitable that this would continue? When you think of the people they employed or who they involved with the club, Ransom, Deliu, Igwi, the text a sub guy and finally Fisher is it any wonder that the governance of the club was...

    Genuine Question-SISU

    It was a Sisu appointed manager who took us very close to relegation that first season. They had the chance when they arrived to turn the fortunes of the club around. Through their own incompetence they failed to do this. My reply was to a poster who put forward the idea that Sisu are perhaps...

    Genuine Question-SISU

    The fact we have had those two promotions is only as a result of the previous two relegations. Yes, appointing Robins was a masterstroke but came after seven or eight less than successful appointments including the employment of Venus and then Slade. The two spells away from Coventry can be...

    Ricoh - Gut Feeling

    If you could guarantee that Wasps are going to go bust or are going to clear off back to London then fine. The fact is that you cannot know with any certainty how long they will carry on for. If it is a war of attrition it will be costing the City as well as hurting Wasps. What if they don't go...

    Ccfc link for player of the season

    I think Walsh has been outstanding. I think he has had the most influence on the team and the way that we were able to perform. I loved watching Dabo too but I would put Kelly in second place.

    SBT Awards: Goal of the Season Nomination Thread (Voting now Open)

    The Walsh goal in the league at Bristol Rovers had a great build up. I would still go for Biamou at Peterborough.

    Adi Viveash

    And how would they know? Surely all that can be said from the outside looking in is that Robins and Viveash are a good team?

    Fisher on Talksport

    He also talks about `The Board' which in effect is himself and Boddy.

    SISU

    The last four years have finally seen success on the pitch, albeit at a low level (the level they took us to). In that 4 years we have seen a continuation of legal action, a period where the head of the academy was touring school playing fields to see if one was a viable academy site as it...

    FA Cup

    Three years ago in the FA Cup when we played and beat Stoke, a giant killing act, there were three divisions between us. Next season we play on equal terms. It shows how quickly things can turn around.

    Standing in the pissing rain at Forest Green.

    The Cambridge defeat you mention was actually a decent performance and one of many games we should have won but didn’t. The team were actually applauded off that day. The worst ever performance by any professional sports team in the history of sport must be our 2-0 home defeat to Southend in an...

    Line up for championship next season

    I'd say that tracking back was one of Thomas' strengths. He was always ready and willing to get stuck in and had often won the ball for himself before setting off on one of his runs.

    Promotion party

    True, but until we won the thing there was no cavalcade around the city centre, horns blaring, flags waving etc.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    If the option with the lowest votes dropped out each time a ballet takes place, eventually they would end up with only two options left. Hopefully they will stick to their original two options.

    Promotion party

    One of the things I remember most fondly about 1987 was coming out of the station to walk to the City Centre and being met by scenes more suited to Turin. The ring road and roads around the city were bonkers. Cars going around with people standing out of the roof lights, flags waving horns...

    Gustavo Hamer - CONFIRMED

    I think Kelly has been a revelation. He seemed a mediocre fourth division player when he first arrived. However, for the past two and a half years he has been a huge influence on the team’s success. I think he has earned a shot at proving he can play in the league above. Robins may have other...

    What happened to £20 is plenty? Real danger of pricing out a portion of potential supporters if those are the prices.
