    A shame our government would never challenge the Saudis in the way the Canadian government has. More interested in selling arms to them.

    SBT Open Meeting for the Ricoh

    If that's what you're betting the future of the club on you might as well start planning what you're going to do with all your free Saturdays next season.

    SBT Open Meeting for the Ricoh

    Was going to post about the meeting being a positive but it seems one step forward, ten steps back.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Do they not want people to take the sport seriously? Talk about stopping promoting and relegation and every team qualifies for Europe. It's like 'everyone wins a prize' at a school sports day.

    Pitch

    The pitch is shocking. This must be the fifth season in a row we've had these problems. You can excuse the first season back as the pitch was prepared at short notice and had been used for other events which left it in a state before anyone knew we were coming back. But when we've been...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. AFC Wimbledon Match Thread - Saturday 12th Jan

    Wimbledon are terrible but somehow managing to be better than us. They could easily have gone in 2 or 3 up.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. AFC Wimbledon Match Thread - Saturday 12th Jan

    Pitch is in a right state and we’ve not had any particularly bad weather.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. AFC Wimbledon Match Thread - Saturday 12th Jan

    Hope we're not going to be sitting back for a 0-0 today! Looks like Wimbledon are only playing 1 up front so looks like we'll have to work to break them down which we've struggled with. Need to get at them from the whistle and get them worried.

    ...increase in migrants across the Channel.

    Yes just Cov, well it will be the area Cov Council cover which might not exactly match the city boundaries but will be pretty close. Problem is developers can sit on the land. That then forces the council to unlock greenfield sites to meet the new housing requirements, land also owned by the...

    ...increase in migrants across the Channel.

    The council's brownfield register shows 253 hectares of brownfield land available. Regulations require a minimum of 30 new dwellings per hectare but the reality is around 50 so that's 7,590 to 12,650 new dwellings to start off with. The biggest survey of land usage in England, as far as I'm...

    ...increase in migrants across the Channel.

    Nothing to do with building houses at the slowest rate since the second world war?

    Over 20k so far for community day

    I've got a vague memory of Club Coventry being started as a more relaxed version without such a strict dress code but I could have completely imagined that.

    It wasn’t an easy watch that’s for sure. Interesting to see the responses on twitter, some trying to dismiss it as made up despite the fact it was based on real situations. In fact Loach has said they had to pull back on some content as, despite being factually accurate, it would have made it...

    Over 20k so far for community day

    Don't see how anyone can moan about this. Not like they're making out its a sell out, being totally up front about how many freebies there are.

    Wasps on the up? I hope not!

    Only person I know who goes to Wasps games is Welsh and goes to their internationals.

    Open Meeting about Stewarding

    Assume so, chap near me had a letter from the club on his way in to the car park the other week. Reckoned the safety group reckoned loads of people were getting run over which, unless he was making it up, is clearly bollocks. People wouldn't walk that way, it would be the longest way round...

    MP calling for Government intervention in Ricoh row.

    As he's a labour MP can't he get on to the Labour council and suggest they stick to their promises at the time of the sale or explain the discrepancies between what they claimed then and what they are saying now. He could speak to Wasps and say it unacceptable for Coventry City to not be...

    Open Meeting about Stewarding

    The barriers thing is nuts, just creates a problem where the fence ends. Reminds me of this. Apparently they've also started keeping the gate from car park B on to Jimmy Hill Way closed after matches as they claim people keep getting run over despite the fact hardly anyone walks that way...

    Wasps on the up? I hope not!

    To put that in to perspective 10th in the national table equates to 37 arrests out of a total attendance of 212,863 at home plus whatever we took away, which given how many we took to Wembley would put us well past 250K. And remember that figure isn't just people causing trouble, it includes...
