    Match Thread Coventry City vs. MK Dons Match Thread - Saturday 11th Jan

    True. A couple of teams will do that though. Rotherham look strong, and maybe Ipswich have got over their wobble. Could be us, not ruling it out, but I'd be surprised, we're not free scoring enough. Top 6 should be fine though.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. MK Dons Match Thread - Saturday 11th Jan

    This season is very open. After 24 games last season the top 2 were 9/10 points better off than we are now. In any other season we'd be way off the auto spots. You do feel that to make the top two we're going to have to go on a long winning run at some point, but the evidence so far suggests we...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. MK Dons Match Thread - Saturday 11th Jan

    Very poor today. As soon as we missed those two chances in the 2nd half the writing was on the wall. Most disappointing was the fact that they scored with 15 minutes to go but we didn't trouble them once after that. Can't argue with the result today. 3 games against MK this season, two draws and...

    Coventry City of Culture 2021

    There is some of that which I won't argue with, but what I am saying was that there is significant progress. It isn't just about Cathedral Lanes. Three new eateries are opening at the Co-op in the next few weeks, a new restaurant on Spon St, Belgrade Plaza is now fully let, the units at the base...

    Coventry City of Culture 2021

    Completely correct. The city centre is far more vibrant than it was 10/20 years ago - both during the day and at night. There is no comparison really. The built environment is improving, there are new leisure facilities opening all the time, new eateries, bars etc. Retail is still...

    4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it)

    I doubt they'll pack the place out, but it was the draw many of them wanted and they seem genuinely chuffed with it.

    Coventry City of Culture 2021

    It's every 4 years, and I remember Hull getting a load of exposure and investment off the back of it. It's hardly the Olympics, but it's a good thing to have won and I think it will be good for the city.

    4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it)

    But the boss is a Blues fan and kicking out your own fans for a few quid extra wouldn't go down well. Much as I like the place, I think it should be Blues only that day if we play them. It's their boozer.

    4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it)

    Tbf, their fans seem delighted by it. There's a novelty factor for sure. Far worse draws we could have got financially - QPR, Millwall, Reading at home for example, far smaller crowd and no easier to progress.

    4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it)

    Surprised, I though Roost would revert to Blues only:

    4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it)

    People getting in a tiz over nothing. They'll be enough tickets for both clubs. Blues fans are suggesting it was agreed that they get Kop Stand and Tilton, we have away stand and main stand if needed. Makes sense.

    4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it)

    Possibly, but we've had up to 6K for league games. I think the novelty of playing at home against Birmingham in their home might bring a few out. Besides, when we played them in the FA Cup a few years back, I recall there were only 7-8K Blues fans in the ground, so I doubt they'd pack the place...

    4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it)

    But that's 5K. We'd potentially take somewhat more than that so why limit the number of our own supporters at what would technically be a home game?Probably make sense to give us the main stand also.

    Andy Street looking forward to seeing Coventry "Sky Blue"

    What's the issue here? Think I'm missing something. The idea is to celebrate the city's history and association with the colour blue, from 'Coventry Blue' to Sky Blue, and the official 2021 video features the football club heavily. What was the issue withe original tweet?

    If they choose a game between two 3rd division teams in an empty stadium they must be desperate!

    There's no money in the replay. The gate will be around 2.5K and prices will be reduced, and we only get around 40% of the gate money, it won't be much more than break even.

    SBT Veggie Society

    Tried a Greggs vegan slice today, was decent enough, textured gravy is the best way I can describe it, so pretty much like a normal steak slice. I've tried going veggie a number of times to support my daughter and for ethical reasons, but I'm just weak I guess. Have settled now for just eating...

    Iran & USA

    The US record when it comes to Iranian affairs isn't one they can be proud of. The role it, through Jimmy Carter and his deluded advisers, played in the revolution and overthrow of The Shah is a case in point. These were people who regarded Ayatollah Khomeini as 'moderate and progressive'. That...
