    Match Thread Coventry City - Chesterfield Match Thread 1st Jan 2018

    Plans to go today got ruined at the last minute. Thanks to everyone for the running comments, although I’m seriously confused as to Biamou’s performance! Table looks nice now, and although I’m not always a big fan of Robins he deserves a lot of credit for keeping us near the top end in the face...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Chesterfield Match Thread 1st Jan 2018

    According to the BBC, after 36 minutes each side has only had one shot. That can't be right can it?

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    That’s a neat summary of the point, and if it was that simple there would be absolutely no room for argument. But it’s not, because not all moves are exactly the same. Many of the most vehement “anti-franchise, anti-Wasps” posters on here seem to think that London rugby clubs playing in places...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Fair enough, I understand the feeling, but I don't think wishing them away is going to get us anywhere. Here's a thought - Wasps get into trouble, some rich so-and-so takes them over, merges Wasps with Cov Rugby and calls the resultant entity "Coventry Rugby Club". Could people stomach that...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Just to clarify, when I mentioned a future partnership I was talking longer term, and not necessarily about getting into bed with the current Wasps owners. Like everyone else, I’d love to see both of the hedge funds out of the picture. The way I see it, you’ve got 3 businesses - a sleeping...

    Our Away support v The Championship

    We drew 0-0 at Old Trafford in 1980, and our pen felt very empty and lonely. With 40,000 Mancunians chanting at us, we needed good humour to get us through. It seemed like we had about 50 at the time, but I dare say it was more like a couple of hundred. Surprising I know, but we didn’t always...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    It’s always painted as black and white, when surely there are shades of grey. Wasps weren’t ripped from a local community (like Wimbledon to MK), they were ripped from a region, which diluted the impact. They’d been out of London for a very long time, on an industrial estate in a town way...

    Maycock signs extension

    I only saw him in one game (in the Trophy), and I really liked the way he played – athletic and positive. I really don’t think he has had enough first-team action to warrant the negative comments – as a young player he must be doing a lot right to be given this extension, so why not support him?

    Player Ratings

    Always interesting to read your in-depth assessments, thanks for taking the trouble. It almost feels like I was there (largely absent recently, but hoping to get to a couple of games soon). Very glad to hear that Stevenson is coming back into form and showing what he can do, and that the...

    Positive News for the Academy - Wasps pull out of Higgs

    It looks like 60 x 40 on the "Football Hall Floor Plan" which you can access via. the Planning Application link. Have you seen a different size mentioned somewhere? I haven't been following this closely, but wasn't it the case a while back that Wasps were going to have the site, leaving CCFC...

    Jones Injury

    It’s hard not to be really downhearted about this injury. Players like Jodi that make it worth going to games, and I really like the lad. Just hoping that he will come back even better. To try and find a positive in a horrible situation, at least it didn’t happen in July or August. Hopefully...

    Checkatrade DVD

    I see it's being launched in the week starting 11th December, and if you want to send it to Oz the deadline is the week before. It's a damn shame because it would have been ideal for friends abroad. Even by CCFC's standards, this strikes me a quite a creative way to try and prevent you giving...

    Match Thread Lincoln City - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 18th Nov

    What a great bit of news on an otherwise dismal weekend in the Flockhart household! I salute the travelling faithful, who deserve a few more cracking results like this.

    Sorry to hear about your woes CJ, it must be horrible. But it’s unduly pessimistic to say that very few recover fully – in the old days that was true, but most professionals seem to come back fine from ACL now, although it can take a long time. Theo Walcott springs to mind – didn’t he say that...

    Badges

    There is indeed a badge seller in the place mentioned Tommo. But if it's important to you and for some reason you can't get hold of one, I've found one you can have. Small oval badge, about an inch wide and half an inch high, England cross on the left, CCFC on the right. The pin's slightly...

    Put toBed Once and for all then

    Leaving aside the arguments about the SISU/CCFC relationship, the issued statemenrt does seem like a strangely specific denial of contact. Almost like saying, OK this guy may have had dialogue with people connected with the club, but as he hasn’t formally or specifically approached SISU Capital...

    JR appeal

    I've liked your post, but I don't like it if you know what I mean :( I take it we're looking at October 2018 then, FFS. Might be pushing up the daisies by then!

    JR appeal

    Genuinely, could somebody please clarify this? I don’t read more than a small proportion of what’s posted on the forum (CCFC despondency fatigue), and I’ve now seen a couple of references to having to wait a year for the next legal milestone. What’s that about?

    Anthony Andreu

    Would like to see him back as soon as possible, but I guess with that kind of injury it's not likely this season. One of the few "proper footballers" we have, and I agree with Robins that he's a big miss - I'm sure we'd be a lot more creative if he was in the team. As it is, there's far too...
