    Tom Fisher Q & A email

    So how can you access the food and beverage revenues? It is very difficult. ACL sold the food & beverage business to Compass for millions of pounds. Therefore, the contract on match day food and beverage is with Compass. Herein lies the big problem. We haven’t yet had any consistent numbers on...

    In praise of ... Paul Telfer.

    Remember seeing him put Bellamy on his arse when the two met up after they had left the City. The look on Bellamy's face was priceless.

    The pet hates thread

    The way the BBC has managed to allow Robbie Savage to re invent himself into a media personality. Still a prick in my eyes!! People, usually cockneys, who mis pronounce the word Birmingham and say Burnigham instead. That prick 'Spooney' is the biggest culprit I have noticed. Overweight people...

    Lost pubs of Coventry

    Remember sitting outside The Jolly Colliers drinking Vimto while the old man tucked away a couple of pints!! Can also remember watching the construction of the M6 by the side of The Jolly Colliers in about 1968ish.

    Should never have hired Jim Smith. An act of utter desperation from a Chairman who didn't have a clue!!

    Old Pop Stars to play in Coventry,who did you see

    That sounds right, it would have been the Black Rose tour the second time I saw them. Am sure the first time in 1977 they recorded the video for 'Don't Believe a Word' at Cov Theatre.

    Coventry University

    It does depend on the subject being studied. She needs to check out what kind of reputation Coventry University has for teaching history. Opinions will differ, but it will make a big difference when she comes to getting a job in the future. Employers take these things into account. Get her to...

    Which breed of dog should i buy?

    When my kid were growing up we had a collie retiever cross. He was fantastic with the kids and great company. He was also very useful as he would bark at anyone who so much as looked at the front door, but was smart enough to know when to pack it in. Very inteligent, loyal and a fantastic family...

    'Browns' in Cov City Centre

    Have never understood how this bar has ben allowed to operate such an arbitary door policy over the years!! It's basically, "If we don't like the look of you for what ever reason, you ain't coming in". Only in Coventry would such an attitude from a bar owner be tolerated. Would this be accepted...

    Joey Barton is 12 game ban enough?

    What was the punishment when Alan 'saint' Shearer kicked someone,quite deliberately, in the head while they sat on the ground? That was utterly dispicable, but as he was an England international at the time it was all glossed over. Double standards from the...
