    Thanks Clint. Very sad, but he had dementia, so hadn't been 'with us' for a while. Massive City fan (started going in 53) with a comedy name. He'll be on the scoreboard for the Brum game.

    Printers In Coventry

    My step Dad died recently and I am doing some stuff for his funeral. In the 50s he started as an apprentice in a printers in Coventry, but can't remember the name of it. The printworks were in Mile Lane, I think. Maybe Eaton Road. Can anyone remember what it was called?

    Scab?

    During that summer my lad had done a Sky Blues in the Community thing and got free tickets to one game. I resisted going until the first game in November, a 3-0 win against someone or other and then I caved in and we got a ST. I did paste anti SISU banners in the toilets on one occasion, but...

    Scab?

    I know people who still won't go to any town that begins with an N or anyplace that has an N in it. They get round it by saying they support Covetry City.

    Scab?

    I was in the Scab Club too, so you're in good company. Look at it as a badge of dishonour.

    For the next 35 years. That's why they were knocked out of the Cup yesterday.

    Ballboy

    In front of the main stand in our half. I presumed that was why Dabo was hugging him at the end.

    Ballboy

    Did I imagine it or did the ballboy punch the ball over the advertising hoardings when it was a throw to BC? If he did, good on him.

    Thought Maatsen was pretty poor even before the sending off. Kane was great when he came on. Hope he takes his chance now and he could keep IM out the side. Good to see CO'H back to his best and an incredible performance from Matty. Vital win.

    Terrible game from our point of view. We were chasing it early on and despite the goal never looked like getting a second. Swansea were in total control after going two up and they had so much space. Their keeper was taking the piss and passing it around for fun. Missed the first few minutes...

    The first player departure that I felt really gutted about.

    The official CCFC forum was good while it lasted and I quite liked the Telegraph one too. Has to be said though, Nick does a fine job and SBT is so much better than many of them. Luton's is definitely the worst of the worst.

    Swansea (H) - Tuesday 2nd - 19:45

    They were rubbish at the beginning of the season, but have come good now. They have some great players, I particularly like Piroe. I think we will need to be at our best tonight. Hopefully, Viktor will get his scoring boots back on. Gonna be chilly too.

    Brights contract cancelled

    What a waste of talent. Talking of waste of talent, wonder what Kevin Thornton does now?

    Brights contract cancelled

    Probably cost us very little, so we were right to take a chance on him. It's not CCFC who have lost out on this one.

    Or just use the tannoy. That's what it's there for.

    I'll get on with starting a Carl Baker and Eric Black thread then.

    I've always been torchomatic. I think I was member no. 2 after Nick.
