    Hypothetical January Transfer Thread

    I notice John Akinde is fit again and playing for Barnet, and quickly getting amongst the goals. He always scores goals at this level despite playing for a mid/ low level team & while I know it would involve a transfer fee of some kind, I really think it would make a big statement to both our...

    Fa Cup Draw Thread

    Football fans have long memories!! It was 1980 according to this. The 10 worst examples of footballers behaving badly | Sport | The Observer, which ties in with how I remember it. Half my family are from Nottingham & my first away game was last game of the season at Forest in 1981. Shilton got...

    Fa Cup Draw Thread

    No that was in his Forest time. I'll be surprised if our match is picked for TV, & I reckon the crowd could be 15,000+, but I don't think they are a big enough draw for a 25,000 crowd.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Boreham Wood Match Thread - Sunday 3rd Dec

    I first had a season ticket in 1978. No recollection of cup games ever being free as part of it.

    Having seen how you put the blinkers on when posters disagree with you I know I am wasting my time arguing but I'll give it one go. Most of those that don't go blame SISU either for the Northampton fiasco, letting Wasps get the Ricoh or overseeing our fall into this god awful league. None are...

    I probably know about 100 people that would regard themselves as Cov fans, but I can count on one hand those that go to games at the moment. While many of those that don't go will quote SISU's mismanagement as a reason not to go I've never heard any of them actually say they are part of a NOPM...

    Beavon

    Anyone remember Kevin Drinkell? I'm sure he went his 2nd season with us without scoring a single goal despite having players around him like Regis, Speedie, Gallacher & Smith who set up plenty of goals between them. Ironic thing was he scored loads of goals everywhere else he played.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Crawley Town Match Thread - Saturday 25th Nov

    You are joking? Time wasting is chronic, particularly so in this league and is the biggest driver in making games so dull. It has a much bigger impact on the game as a spectacle than diving or poor refs. Yes you want your team to win, but sport is supposed to be about entertainment, which can...

    The quality of football has to be a big effect on our crowds. I didn't think there would be much of a gap between League 1 & League 2 but I was wrong. Luton seem the only team that aren't negatively set up. The time wasting tactics employed by the likes of Crawley right from the kick off just...

    JH and Garry Thompson - 1981

    While JH had obviously been great for us in the 60's he most definitely wasn't a success when he returned as Director & Chairman. The break up of that team was very sad & his linking his business interests in the US & Saudi to the club was both questionable & harmful to the club. Despite JH's...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Mansfield Town Match Thread - Saturday 11th Nov

    While it would be wrong to put all our hope's on Ponticelli's shoulders I'm not writing him off just yet. He's got a lot to learn still obviously and he is not going to physically match the typical League 2 defender, but he is already light years ahead of our other forwards in his positioning...

    20 years ago today since....

    I have no idea whether Richardson refused to let Dublin play in the Luton game or not, but if he did so he didn't bother to tell Strachan, as he was furious with Dublin. What is fact however, is that Dublin was already cup tied having played (and scored) in the previous round, so if he told Adge...
