    Playing in our city

    Coventry is the right place to be playing next year, and I’d say we have even more clout in negotiations now. But I’d seriously worry about the pitch, I’m sure that’ll be a big factor in negotiations, at least from a footballing perspective. If it’s Birmingham again, then so be it.

    Happy League Champions Day

    Absolutely brilliant. Of course it’s not the same as being there live and with fellow fans and players, but that doesn’t really matter right now. We are Champions and we absolutely 100% deserve it. We’ve been incredible this season in every sense, and that includes the fans who have continued...

    Happy League Champions Day

    Bought my daughter the home kit at the start of the season before she was even born, and I’ve been waiting for the right time to put her in it. I think today is going to be the day!

    George Floyd

    Those videos are absolutely shocking. The push on that second girl is horrible. The police all look like overweight men on a power trip, embarrassing.

    Running

    Cheers. I tend to look at Plot a Route and then use Google Maps to try and ascertain if they are actually runnable paths etc, and to get my bearings, but in this instance it’s covered by trees so hard to tell! I think I’ll have a rough route in my head based on your comments above and I’ll have...

    Running

    Thanks both. I should have said I’ll be coming at it from Winding House Lane and ultimately then heading south-west as you look at the screen shot, towards Beake Avenue. So my rough plan was a loop round an area within Prologis Park - just not sure what’s viable?

    Club shop

    Just ordered too way too much stuff on the website. Not sure why a grown adult needs the official shorts amongst other things, but I convinced myself I do for ‘round the house’ or for all the football I'm currently playing....it means I’ve also inadvertently made myself a full kit wanker (but I...

    Running

    I recall a few people mentioning Prologis Park as a nice place to run? I’m planning a route for the weekend which takes me that way - any recommendations on any particular routes around there? Ideally about two miles. I’m not sure which of the trails outlined here are actually open/runnable etc?

    Coronavirus Isolation - TV Shows to Binge

    Has anyone watched Space Force yet? I really like Daniels and Carell, so tempted to give it a try but reviews aren’t great and wasn’t overly impressed with the trailer.

    Running

    Ran a 3mile/5k PB this morning. I recently discovered the segments section on Strava and the short run I usually do on Friday included four segments, so attempting to make the top 10 was my motivation!

    Running

    What are the main benefits of it? Thanks Rich - I will bear Northbrook in mind, however I’m not too keen on joining a running club yet, although that will change at some point. I appreciate forums are all about anonymity, and I don’t know enough about it so it may not even be an option. But...

    Two years ago today....

    Just watched the highlights from the day; surprised the level of emotion I felt watching them. Incredible day and an amazing feeling after so many years of shit. Notts County away is still the best game ever though!

    Running

    Slowly upping my weekly mileage and have completed two half marathons, one last Sunday and one the Sunday just gone and I am planning to complete a third this Sunday. It has upped my weekly mileage to ~32 miles per week. I am running most days, with a second longer run (7-8 miles) on a Wednesday...

    Cheers! Any tips?

    Running

    Thanks Tom - I saw that re privacy for just friends but it also says it may mean you are excluded from certain events/challenges etc! Think I am still going to go for it though. Great running! I have been slowly upping mine without thinking about it too much, but now I have realised it is...

    Coronavirus Isolation - TV Shows to Binge

    Started watching The 100 with my partner. Three seasons in and still enjoying it. I wasn't sure at first as it starts a little too cheesy and americanised but storylines progress and become more complex (even sci-fiy in places) and intriguing. Obviously nowhere near the levels of depth and/or...

    Smart Watch

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I went for a Garmin Venu in the end, it was between that and another Apple Watch, but we found a great deal for the Venu so thought I would give it a try. It arrived today - not as intuitive as the Apple Watch, but going for a short run tomorrow which will be the...

    Running

    I have been managing to up my running over the last few weeks, and ran 25 miles last week and 28 the one before. I ran a half marathon on Sunday morning too, in a time of 1:52 which I was happy enough with. I don't class myself as a proper runner and at the minute it is about the distances and...

    Smart Watch

    I am on the hunt for a new Smart Watch. I did have an Apple Watch which randomly died before Christmas, and I have been using my old FitBit Charge 2 since, however that has now also decided to die. Neither can be fixed - I have tried myself and taken them to various shops who confirm the same...
