    General Election

    Well that went better than I could have hoped for. Hopefully the SNP losing 21 seats and down to 37% of the vote will stop Jimmy Crankie pushing for a 2nd referendum, Salmond & Robertson losing was a bonus. I had a real dilemna voting and even though the conservative candidate in Stirling had a...

    Carlisle and Blackpool, next season

    It is beautiful up here, but then there are beautiful parts of England too but we probably can't afford to live in those, and I only notice the lack of traffic when I come down the M6 and get past Preston. We are kind of committed to staying here until our son finishes his education, he starts...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I preferred Cadbury's version, the Aztec bar but it was stopped after a couple of years

    Carlisle and Blackpool, next season

    Haha, afraid not, 100% English, born in Lincoln & raised in Rugby. I do have a Scottish wife and an Anglo-Scottish son who thanks to my wife's disinterest in sport supports both Coventry & England!! I see myself as a modern day English missionary living in Scotland trying to educate the locals...

    Carlisle and Blackpool, next season

    Carlisle is the closest away team for me so that's one away trip for next season, might also make Blackpool depending on when it is plus hopefully a couple of home games

    When did the East Stand at Highfield Road get built?

    I think whoever was chairman at the time, may have been Poynton although the stand was built under Richardson, tried to buy the factory on the other side of Swan Lane but they wouldn't sell up. If they had we were going to build a much bigger East Stand with a bigger capacity and divert Swan...

    Michael Doyle re signing for City

    I am not convinced with Michael Doyle as from the few times I saw him play he seemed to specialise in giving the ball away and then fouling the player when trying to get the ball back but at least we are not waiting to sign players at the start of pre-season or 2 weeks into the season like we...

    Last game at White Hart Lane

    I always liked going to WHL and am pretty sure I never saw us lose there. The game in 94 was good and I even remember us having a laugh with the referee when he gave Spurs a corner and we tried to convince him it was a goalkick but the standout game for me was the 3-1 win the following season...

    My 26 years of being a Coventry City fan

    I'm sure I read somewhere that Sillett went to watch David Platt when he was at Crewe and wasn't convinced and bought Peter Billing instead

    My 26 years of being a Coventry City fan

    He was but he was a bit later, Strachan was manager when we tried to buy Albertz & McCann, can't remember who was in charge when we tried to buy Novo. I think we agreed a fee of £500k with Rangers but he chose to stay with Rangers.

    Smurthwaite v Fisher

    Can I be blamed too? I only manage to get to a couple of home games a season because of where I live but funnily enough I really like watching the team that I have supported for over 45 years play. If I lived back in the midlands both my son & I would both have season tickets

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    ...or Sepalla already had other arrangements and couldn't meet Hoffman on Friday and is meeting him when she is available.

    Match Thread Scunthorpe v Coventry Match Thread - Sunday 30th Apr

    I don't live in Coventry & I suppose Callander is not glamorous enough so can I be from The Cayman Islands?

    Match Thread Scunthorpe v Coventry Match Thread - Sunday 30th Apr

    Can I be chairman, I can't be there so surely that qualifies me?

    Steve Hunt

    The US soccer team we were originally involved with was Detroit Express and they became the Washington Diplomats when JH moved the franchise.
