    Saturday, 3pm, Jimmy's Statue

    We were too nice today. I got to Jimmy’s statue at 2.55 pm and could instantly see there would be no blockading of the turnstiles or the stadium car parks, we were too nice, I was too nice. All of us there were very polite and nice to each other and Wasps supporters and even to Wasps supporters...

    Saturday, 3pm, Jimmy's Statue

    I’m in. Blockading the stadium car parks would be my first option but I’ll go along with the turnstiles instead, better than us all standing by Jimmy Hill’s statue looking like lost sheep.

    Back your football club

    I’m in ! Season ticket as per usual. Northampton season did away games only but the insects have now made this personal. Birmingham away is fine by me as away games north I always get off at New Street and have a pint or two at the Shakespeare anyway. Let the Brummies have our hard earned if...

    David Busst article

    As a very young lad I was brought up in the Jimmy Hill pop and crisps under the Sky Blues Stand era which at the time was brilliant. Over fifty years on i can testify that Dave Busst and his brilliant Sky Blues in the Community team out perform pop and crisps x 1000. I currently play walking...

    Protest ?

    To my shame I could not be arsed with the whole day protest thing but instead decided to attend the Wasps / Ricoh part of the protest which the time of 9.15 am has been well publicised on social media for days. So I gets to the Ricoh and sits on my ownsome under the Jimmy Hill statue at 9am ...

    Wasps action

    Would affect the decision makers as well unless they go by bus to games. And who cares about their poxy supporters anyway.

    Wasps action

    There would have to be hundreds of us to do this successfully. About an hour before Wasps home games we sit down across and block the road at all the car park entry points ( and exit points so they cannot swerve us). When / if dragged away by police others take their place. We totally fuck up...

    Luton demonstration

    Quote from the reverse of the 6 and out flyer we held up today. “ Today is a great opportunity to not only get our voices heard by those that matter but also to show on live tv what a loud and proud fan base we are and what OUR club means to us and our community. “ The above quote ably...

    Ann Lucas

    It’s beyond belief this woman is going to be Lord Mayor. By rights she should be on trial for treason against the citizens of Coventry. And if I hear her start another sentence with ‘ I tell you what ‘ my head will Explode.

    Memorable Sky Blue debuts...

    I was at Bayern away. Had a beer with the injured Bill Glazier in the club house before the game. To be fair to McManus it pissed down before and during the game making the conditions horrendous for saving goals and he was up against DerbBomber Gerd . Muller.

    Memorable Sky Blue debuts...

    I started going regular 66/67 season so have seen many cracking centre halves play for City. The perfect centre half debut saw Larry LLoyd at Derby away 1974. He won every ball in the air just like loads of City centre halves before him. The difference with Lloyd though was that every header won...
