    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Unless Starmer starts saying what he is going to do, rather than what he isn't, he's not going to pull in many new votes. I think he's just relying on traditional red-wall voters returning to the fold because he's not Corbyn, and Tory voters not bothering to turn out because they can see how...

    Upgrading season tickets

    "Hello, you're through to the Coventry City order prevention team - how can't we help you today?" 😁 At least you tried to do the right thing mate...

    Wobbly back 3

    I'd say you've got to hold or give, but do it at the right time. You can be slow or fast, but you must get to the line. 😁

    Rob Gurney

    It took me a while to get used to Clive, but I think he does a good job. Who cares about the odd slip up. Good partnership with Oggy too, whom I always enjoy listening too. Gurney was terrific in the old days, and it'd be great to have him back, imho - clearly we're strengthening the squad...

    Red light cameras

    "Accidentally", eh... Reminds me of my favourite traffic copper's line... "Just building up speed for take-off were we, Squadron Leader?"

    Red light cameras

    First it's dodgy MOTs, and now it's running red lights. This isn't GTA V you know.😄 I suspect they're on, though I've never seen them flash in all honesty. I might get a 1 COV number plate off ebay (the Lord Mayor's car from memory) and run it a dozen times to get Maton nicked. 😄

    Expect another delay

    The 'pre order brigade' are your low cost, high value, loyal customers, who are paying up front for stuff. Pissing them off is stupid, expensive, and probably impacts an easy income stream next season when some will hold off buying this way. This could clearly have been handled far, far...

    Expect another delay

    In my experience, the way to minimise customer issues is to get the comms right. It's about being open, honest, and fair to people, especially when things have gone wrong. The club consistently screw up on this, and people are understandably annoyed. Thinking people should just shut up and put...

    Expect another delay

    Which bit is out of the clubs hands, exactly? The comms is very much in control of the club, as is the process by which they release the stock (when it finally arrives). It seems fair to me that you release first to the people who've already paid for stuff, and were promised it ages ago.

    Transfer targets

    My <insert team name here> supporting mate, says that <insert new signing name here> is so useless that he offered to drive him here himself. 😁

    Expect another delay

    I don't know about "crying", but I don't see why the club should get a free pass on awful service just because they're Coventry City and we support them. If anything, I think most people have been reasonably tolerant. If it had been any other kind of business most customers would have been...

    48 hours remain

    Darn it, if only we'd bought the right strikers. It's not like proven top level strikers are hard to find or particularly expensive. We should ditch Simms and Wright straight away and use the money to buy Harry Kane or someone like that. Like Gyokeres, if you're not on fire immediately you're...

    Things that annoy you

    Which reminds me, I've not had a pie at the ground in years. Do they still heat them to nuclear core meltdown temperatures? That could be moderately annoying/scarring too...

    Things that annoy you

    I just remembered one.... 'Pies' that are actually just meat and gravy in a bowl with a slice of pastry sitting on the top. That is basically criminal misrepresentation.

    Things that annoy you

    Please, please,tell me you've just made that up! I'm not going to Google it either! 😄

    Worst kick off of all time?!

    San Marino, Stuart Pearce. Close thread. 😄

    Long throws

    Until they give additional points for artistic interpretation, a goal's a goal no matter how it gets there. I'll take an ugly goal all day over ten gorgeous misses. Use every weapon in your arsenal, attack in whatever way makes the opposition uncomfortable, imho. Variation is a good thing...

    Death List 2023

    James Taylor too, with very long hair. Looks a bit different now, but then don't we all! 😁
