    No doubt Brum will fancy their chances more if they can take us back to their place for a replay

    Mark Robins

    If he gets us promoted all the way into the top flight, provides sell-out entertainment and sets the whole of Coventry and Warwickshire alight with passion for CCFC, then yes. I like Robins and he’s doing a good job with this team, but the Jimmy Hill era was something else entirely.

    Mark Robins

    Anyone who compares Robins’ impact with Jimmy Hill wasn’t around in the 1960’s. But from the (admittedly limited) times I’ve seen us this season I’d say this could be the best footballing side we’ve had since dropping into the third tier (including the purple patches we had under Robins before...

    Christmas Quiz - Part Two!!!!

    Feeling brain dead and completely overwhelmed by problems atm, so despite my triumph last year there’s no way I can compete in this. Several of these have me stumped but I was interested to see the photo of the left mid in his advanced years, still recognisable. An out-and out winger really...

    Christmas Quiz - Part Two!!!!

    I believe I was a glorious joint winner last year. But deciphering the clues nearly cost me my sanity, and this year I suspect won’t have time. However, I’ve got the first two answers and it’s pretty addictive! Anyway, all credit to Grendel for taking the trouble to entertain us with this, and...

    L&W supporters club meeting tonight

    LOL - even more annoyed I missed it now. Yes, Shippers is a good lad, and all credit to him for winning people round with his performances on the pitch. You could always see he had the ability for a good career, but It must have been tough to ignore all the idiots slagging him off in his first...

    L&W supporters club meeting tonight

    Cheers GMLK - btw which former player was there last night? You could always call the well known Lillington kid Cozy Powell to drum up support.

    L&W supporters club meeting tonight

    Sounds like a nice event and I wish I’d been there, but I didn’t see this until it was too late – some very long days at the moment and I don’t have time to trawl the web all day like some of you wasters ;) Sky Blue Harry H it would be great if you (or somebody) could post a notice about these...

    Times article on Keith Houchen

    I think Houchen’s all-round performances in the cup-winning season are underrated, possibly because that moment in the final became so famous. He certainly wasn’t out of place in the top flight that year. He was absolutely outstanding, a proper centre forward, plenty of skill, reliable and...

    Transfer Rumour Matt Godden

    Well according to Wikipedia he’s scored 250 goals in 200 appearances for us, so hopefully that’s been put there by Marty McFly on a quick trip back in his DeLorean from May 2024, just after we pip Salford to the Premier League title.

    Ask Neil

    Grendel you want to pass on a range of views, which is a good thing, so here are mine in a nutshell. Over the years I’ve generally been sympathetic to the Council’s stance on SISU, and I haven’t felt any great antagonism to Wasps, who I regard as a South East franchise which has turned itself...

    Wednesday match at Warwick cancelled?

    I've just phoned the Racing Club guy and he confirmed that the game has indeed been CANCELLED (City apparently pulled out on Monday). He's going to ask CCFC to update the official website - not the first time the CCFC site has been wrong, I'm sorry to say. The Racing Club website (correctly it...

    Wednesday match at Warwick cancelled?

    Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but is there a game tonight at Warwick (as shown on the CCFC wesbite with a live countdown to the kick-off at 7:45), or has it been cancelled as stated on the Racing Club Warwick website?

    Six fields v St Andrews.

    I agree, soft words butter no parsnips! But actions are irrelevant too - how can they compensate for what is happening? Coventry City Football Club won't be putting football matches on in Coventry next season, which defeats the purpose of the club, even if some see it only as an inconvenience...

    Six fields v St Andrews.

    Leaving aside the endless arguments about who is in the right or wrong, a significant difference between Sixfields and St. Andrews is the tone adopted by the club. On this occasion, CCFC’s statement feels like genuine regret about the move, and a respectful plea for support from the fans...

    St Andrews confirmed!

    My feelings:- SISU – they blew the future of CCFC many years ago by dropping the offer for the Higgs share to £2 million, a catastrophic strategic error. They were used to playing hardball in a purely commercial environment, and had no political nous whatsoever. It has cost us everything, and I...

    New Signing - Fankaty Dabo

    Looks pretty decent in the video, but then they always do don’t they? Appears to be shorter than Robins, but seems quick and strong and can cross a ball, which can’t be said of too many others in the squad. Glad to see a 23-y-o on a proper signing, rather than another kid on loan.
