    OPINION: SAVE OUR CITY: Flaws in council support for Wasps move into CCFC academy

    I would very much doubt it Chief, the 'partnership' between CCC and Wasps has a certain odour about it. Largely borne out of spite, vindictiveness and duplicity. It makes me wonder if a team of like-minded oiks has been set up with the sole function of making life increasingly impossible for...

    OPINION: SAVE OUR CITY: Flaws in council support for Wasps move into CCFC academy

    And it could be argued the the City has hosted 4 top class clubs covering Football, Rugby, Speedway and Ice Hockey, all co-existing and seemingly supportive of each other. What has changed and what or who is the catalyst for change? And if the local authority is so insistent on Coventry as a...

    OPINION: SAVE OUR CITY: Flaws in council support for Wasps move into CCFC academy

    Whoever said “This is a plan to eradicate, destroy and cripple Coventry City Football Club by a non-Coventry originating entity, it shows spite and a lack of loyalty and the loss of young talent will be a great loss to Coventry to the benefit of neighbouring cities” has got it spot on...

    Sordell - How Many Goals ?

    An optimistic 22. If it's a good enough guess for the Euro 2016 Prediction League champion - Music Dating - then it's good enough for me.

    Is this something else the City could have got involved with?

    Good news, but why do I think the omission from the press release is another little dig designed to get under the skin?? Divide and conquer??

    Yes JHB...it put bums on seats back then. Bank on scoring one more than the opposition. With our lack of defenders at present, we might need to be scoring 3 or 4 to get any points ;)

    Nah....Reid on the left and Jones on the right surely. Shades of Gordon Milne with 4-2-4 and go for the jugular!

    To be honest Dorset, I won't mind too much if it chucks it down for the week. Not been for many years although we used to visit many, many years ago as a family with lots of good memories. Also a bit of a pilgrimage to my late Dad who introduced me to CCFC in 1966. Maybe a chance to visit some...

    Betty might also help to stiffen up the back 4 (or back 3).

    Tom Pope....

    I wouldn't be unhappy if he joined us. Saw him play a few times at Gresty Road, admittedly some years ago, and despite his size and potential threat from set pieces, he was able to link up play and pass the ball on the ground when needed. As with most Crewe players though, you get the feeling...

    Mind the gap

    Agreed. If it was us instead of Palace who had bought this unknown for £32m, would we as fans be ecstatic? Now this bloke might turn out to be a world beater but the door has been open for some time clubs are paying ridiculous amounts for average players and the agents and hangers on enjoy a...

    Mind the gap

    We also bought the likes of McAllister, Keane, Hadji, Chippo, Huckerby, Whelan, etc. Trouble is it wasn't our money and we fell out of the Premier League at just about the wrong time financially. All downhill ever since.

    Fixtures 2016 - 2017

    Yes, a supermarket taking up half the terraced end, built I think to alleviate financial problems at BWFC . Burnden Park was very similar to other grounds in the north west at the time such as Deepdale, Bloomfield Road, Ewood Park and Turf Moor - all delapidated and in urgent need of...

    Brainstorm

    Great idea. At a time when CCFC and CRFC are both being squeezed by the local authority and the franchise rugby club, we need to turn up in numbers to physically support both clubs. And if this were to be matched by some serious ambition by the respective owners, any sustained success on the...
