    South Stand home end?

    Fletcher I think, said a mistake was made when the ground was planned and that away fans could not be put elsewhere, as leaving the ground would mean supporters mixing a lot more than they do now, resulting in more potential flashpoints. Think the police also objected on similar grounds.

    Rose unhappy?

    Think Rose should be offered a contract. Injuries have stalled his progress, but if the management team feel those problems are behind him then sign him up. Looked fine coming on as a sub in recent games. MR doesn't change a winning team very often, only where injury or tiredness is a problem...

    CCFC Promotion, computer prediction

    I think people underestimate Eccles. He has been getting better all season after a bad start at Sunderland and injury problems. Always happy when he is on the team sheet.

    Hull crowd

    I remember when I was a student, absolutely everyone from Newcastle and Sunderland were football fans of their home town club. This was an arts course where being into football was very uncool. Apart from me, there were no Coventry people who supported football even though we were in the top...

    Preston ratings

    Interestingly, the PNE commentators thought their player who had already been booked should have had another yellow when Vik turned him on the wing and was brought down. The ref never even gave a foul. I can understand why Vik got booked. Their centre backs were absolutely shagged out near the...

    That’s on Robins

    With our small squad, one of the lowest budgets and consequent injuries, he has worked miracles.

    Liam Kelly

    Great servant to the club. Thought writing him off like many did with Fadz was premature. Could still have had a couple of good seasons in him, but it appears injuries are building up and are likely to cut short his career with us.

    Fifteen Years

    That genius McGinnity who allegedly made his money when tipped off about all-seater stadiums by Robinson. McGinnity threatened to sue Nev Haddesley who ran GMK at the time and was a local sports reporter working in Birmingham. I think it was Adam Dent who castigated Nev when he phoned CWR. Nev...

    Contracts 2025/26

    I gather a lot of interest in EFL TV rights from streaming services when the current deal expires. This includes showing games on a Saturday at 3pm. Add in the possibility of the new regulator (jokingly named Offside) forcing the Prem to share more of the money, we may be better off than we...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Sunderland Match Thread - Saturday 25th Feb

    We have a system that suits our defenders and Wilson who is better at shot stopping than collecting crosses. It has given Wilson 14 clean sheets and would have been 15 if Hamer had not made a school boy error on the touchline. Either way, don't think it was Wilson's ball at all to collect. Our...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Sunderland Match Thread - Saturday 25th Feb

    See Mowbray is doing the old school, we have so many injuries but I can't tell you who they are. Expect a first choice team and no evidence of injuries. Used to work years ago lulling the opposition into a sense of false security, but wont work these days. So sad O'Hare hasn't played against...

    John Motson

    Motty was brilliant. A great commentator and person who had a soft spot for the city.

    Stadium after May?

    My gut feeling is a deal will be done but will not be as favourable as the last deal with clauses inserted depending on which division we are playing in.

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Sunderland Match Thread - Saturday 25th Feb

    Don't understand the hate for Mowbray. He is a bit old school and I can't see him doing a West Brom again. His only major error with us was thinking he could attract better players than we could afford and putting his mate in charge of recruitment. Has had a very solid managerial record and has...

    They have an amazing away record recently. We really have to be at our best and start on the front foot.

    Match Thread ⚽️ Rotherham United vs Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 18th Feb

    Our away form results wise has been poor since the World Cup. Lost 4 on the bounce with some good and terrible performances. Lot of away games coming up. Think this result (no matter how we play) will indicate where we are heading. Don't think they have lost at home for a bit (mainly draws).

    Transfer with Vik

    Week in week out opposition managers highlight Gyo as the best player in the Championship. The best player always goes to a higher league, usually the Prem. Wherever he goes, I doubt he will get the love or support he gets from Cov fans. Unless he gets injured like Callum I can't see us holding...

    1980/81 - Coventry v West Ham (League Cup Semi 1st Leg - 27.1.81

    I was in the West End that night. Forgot how many chances we had in the first leg and some in the second too. From the video, Hateley was really disappointing. West Ham fans were animals especially in the second leg (can't understand how I married one, although she is still gorgeous). How many...
