The Telegraph article (http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-cardiff-city-left-10626902) says that it’s Turner’s left ankle which has been injured. It sounds potentially serious, but one small consolation is that it’s not a breakdown of the right ankle he...

I wish all the younger members of this forum could have experienced the Jimmy Hill years in the 1960s. Those times were pure magic. I was just a kid, but it’s still so clear in the memory. At the time I thought the Sky Blues had some sort of special right to score goals whenever they wanted...

I’ve had a lot of problems with CCFC’s operations over many years. But on this occasion they can’t be faulted – sending out tickets by post this week would be a recipe for disaster (unless they charged for some sort of premium courier service, in which case they’d be criticised for ripping...

I spotted Gillespie on a coach full of City fans after the game too. My God, that day was heaven! Anyway, this decision isn't difficult - Gillespie and Peake. 60s (the only other player I even came close to choosing was Roy Barry)

Not sure about that SB - certainly the abusive post I was referring to wasn't from you.

I know what you mean about being sucked in to a pretence. Everything Fisher has said about a new stadium has been an embarrassment to himself and to CCFC (although he never seems to mind that, and of course it has suited his wider purpose). However, the new guy doesn’t seem like the kind of...

Unfortunately, you combined your great point about safe standing with a reference to the new stadium, which can be like a red rag to a bull. Still, you didn’t deserve the outright abuse you got (before the worst of it was removed).

I’ll assume that you’re a genuine poster, as I have no reason to believe otherwise. In which case, the responses you’ve had so far are an absolute disgrace. Cheers for posting, it’s an interesting question and definitely to be taken on board if the stadium idea ever turns out to be more than...

Here are two links which might help to clarify all these freehold/leasehold questions, or (more likely) just start another series of abusive arguments. These confirm my recollection i.e. that SISU made clear that they were OK with a long lease, but that it had to be unencumbered / unfettered...

I think I can help you there:- Joy Seppala speaks over Coventry City Ricoh bid against Wasps http://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/joy-seppala-speaks-over-coventry-city-ricoh-bid-against-wasps-4239/COVENTRY City are set to table a “conditional” bid for joint ownership of the Ricoh Arena company...

Seriously, I think you are making far too much of this. When there are exciting or controversial things in football matches, I’ll most likely chat about them with my family and friends. It’s a spontaneous thing and then it’s gone. I rarely feel any desire to express my feelings about a game...

Chris Cattlin. I agree with Rupert's great summary of the options, but Spider shades it for me. 1960s

100% agree

I think he made the correct judgement to go for the ball yesterday – he just didn’t show enough strength. If he’d stood on his line and let it swing across our 6-yard box, Sharp would probably have scored anyway.

I agree - but then we have to be prepared to accept that it could cost us promotion.

That is pretty much how I see it. But I agree with those who say that we need an experienced keeper – IMHO we’re not doing RCC or Burge any favours by putting so much spotlight on them in a crucial season. Young keepers always make plenty of mistakes, and I dare say TM would like an older head...

TM was philosophical about the various incidents, and I like that from a manager. What’s the point in managers and players ranting and raving and feeling sorry for themselves, with important games coming up? He said “we’ll keep doing what we do”. I was ranting and raving btw :)

Which thread are we on – the Allard Way one, the Butts Park Arena one or the M6 junction one? They’re all so similar it’s easy to lose track :)

... and I dare say that's right too.
