Had this at work a couple of weeks ago. I made a comment and the colleagues in my immediate vicinity (2 x plastic Man Utd fans, 2 x plastic Liverpool fans, 1 x decent Villa/Leamington fan) happened to disagree. One of the Utd fans basically told me my opinion was invalid because I support a 4th...

I'm a reasonable runner. Did a track session last night of 5 x 1km reps. Knocked out the reps between 3mins35 and 3mins45 which is a fairly tough pace to maintain. If you put those together, without the rest periods you get around 18mins (Although i could not do 18mins for a straight 5km run)...

Even the out of town places are poor though. Central Six is full of crap shops (who wants a discount furniture store and a Poundland so close to the city centre), and as for Gallagher, well that is possibly the worst collection of shops in the country...

My thoughts on some of the points raised here... I have a fairly new girlfriend who is not a native of Coventry (nor the UK for that matter), so have been looking at Coventry from the eyes of an outsider to some extent. Yes there are good points to it. Spon Street. The area around the...

Only came across Grimsby fans once and they were very impressive. Albeit it was in a local derby for them away at Lincoln, so probably to be expected that they would be good on that occasion.

Some guy at my new place of work was harping on about the supposed 3000 odd tickets apparently sold, and has 'heard' that we've only actually sold 800 proper season tickets, and the remainder of the 3000 was made up of corporates/kids/freebies (how you have a freebie season ticket I do not know...

I've been there for a game as a neutral. I think the town itself has enough nice pubs, chip shop, cafes etc, to cope with a ccfc invasion, unless we are bang on for promotion and looking at taking more than say 2000 there (I don't think the away end holds that many anyway). The ground is in a...

Chetwynd - Whitestone offy - Attleboro Snooker Club - Rugger Tavern - Pen & Wig - Elliot - Bilberries (shit hole) - Millenium Breaker is indeed the beer of champions.

I think there is very much a thought amongst fans (of all clubs) that if you make the playoffs, you go up. "Must make the playoffs" etc.... Unfortunately it doesn't necessarily equate to promotion (for around 75% of the teams who make the playoffs, according to statistics).... You'd like to...

Not a fan of Forest Green Rovers, mainly as they seem a 'new team'.... But would grudgingly admit it would be a good away day. Decent ground, away terrace if I remember correctly, and the town it is in is quite nice. Dagenham another London trip is always a good shout. Would also like Tranmere...

That's fair enough and I applaud your dedication to the club. However if you didn't visit the odd match as a neutral then as already said, you would miss a lot. I've been to a lot of matches abroad and would never have the chance to do this watching city. It does give you a perspective on the...

I see. Apologies to Skybluedan as well then. At the end of the day we're all city fans and if the football wasn't so piss poor we'd probably have better things to do than argue. At risk of unmasking my "anonymity", Mr Eccleston of the telegraph is a close personal relative, so the suggestion...

Moff I don't know why you're getting so worked up.... You had a bit of a pop at someone I'm close to, I took a bit of offence and called you a wanker, probably unjustified, I'll admit that. Let's just leave it at that. I've no desire to go on some crusade arguing with everyone. As for...

You've pretty much backed my point up there. Moff accused me of not "frothing at the mouth" over the comments against Simon Gilbert. I've not made any attempt to defend him, if he comes on here as a public figure, then I'm sure he knows he's going to get abuse. I rather suspect he doesn't care...

Personally I do not know Mr Gilbert, and I do not read the Telegraph or follow their website, so I do not know what people's problems are with him on here. I do think it's typical bully-boy mentality though, and half the people on here are happy to hide behind anonymity and make comments,whilst...

I'd also point out that Ben is as die-hard as it gets when supporting city, so when slating people at the Telegraph, please bear in mind that whatever your reasons, a lot of people there are just normal people like you and me who live in the city and support the side.

When you've finished commenting on people's appearance (which to my knowledge, has no reflection on their abilities as a journalist), then please feel free to PM me if you would like to comment further on your problems with Ben. In your defence, I'm sure you are one good-looking bastard, whilst...

Benfica was way before that. 96 or 97 I reckon. Because we played Bayern Munich a year or two after whilst still in the Premier League, and fared a little better, I think we only lost 4-2 in that one. Incidentally the Bayern fans were the best I've ever seen from an away side at City.

Cov vs QPR in Ibiza the summer before we started at the Ricoh, which then led to the trouble at our opening game at the Ricoh (vs QPR)... I would day not usually, but let's face it, City fans go down to the likes of Nuneaton and Hinckley every pre-season acting as if they are "taking over" the...

Not 100% sure, it's possible that it's just their club policy. At Bedworth United, two further divisions below, you can do what you like. I would guess that they would be unlikely to relax this, let's face it, Us, Wolves, Rangers, Liverpool, Nuneaton.... Even if it was only youth teams and...
