    Wow the Eccles haters are back. I thought he was one of our better players on a night that was a difficult one following the comedown from Sunday. That said, I certainly wish he and our other midfielders would take the option to shoot more often rather than take an extra pass, but I don't recall...

    Blackburn away

    Blackburn are desperate for a result. A mega following from us where they feel like the away team would put them at a disadvantage. They would lose far more money from being relegated than the extra income 3,000 more Sky Blues fans might bring them. Their decision makes sense for them unfortunately.

    Peter Bankes needs investigating

    I find it hard to believe the VAR guys were wilfully biased, but I can definitely see them being subconsciously biased in favour of the 'big' team and that if Man U had scored the same goal it wouldn't have been overturned. Also seen a lot of justification for the neutrality of the officials by...

    Train strikes

    In other words the managers were required to be scabs - industrial relations strategy for beginners!!

    Villa away...

    The Villa fans I know all felt they were running the gauntlet on their trips to HR, but unless your jouney as a home fan involved being in close proximity to away fans immediately outside the ground, on Gosford Park, or on the way back to the station, you could easily have remained oblivious to it.

    Match Thread Birmingham City - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 13th Apr

    Their local businesses were welcoming, but any of our our fans walking back to New Street after the FA Cup ties at their place might have an alternative view on how receptive their fans were.

    Fa cup tickets

    Once the 50+ points period has passed perhaps the club should also open up to i follow account holders based abroad, many of whom I should imagine would like to come back for the match, but unlikely to be otherwise able to source tickets directly themselves.

    Item Thread for those looking for FA cup tickets

    I'm guessing the sarcasm and wariness is based on the new forum members suddenly appearing asking for tickets, which could be a ploy used by Man United supporters who can't get tickets through their own club to try and get some of ours instead. Obviously this shouldn't apply for people who have...

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    I think the cheap JSB prices will definitely go. Will still need to cater to our future support base though, so will be interesting to what level increases are made in that area.

    Fa cup tickets

    Is General Sale still one ticket per person (with account history)? Not sure if it is the case but I would have thought it logical at that point for season ticket holders and those with tickets purchased through points history to be allowed to buy at least 1 extra ticket each?

    Video Coventry City v Cardiff City highlights

    Am definitely looking at it differently to you :) If you are judging only by both players feet then for me Wright was definitely onside as Bowlers left foot is playing him on. The questionable part is where Wright's shoulder is in relation to Bowler's left foot, and for me that is marginal and...

    Video Coventry City v Cardiff City highlights

    Wibble! Not sure how you see it as being so clearly offside! It is a marginal call whether Bowler (player 1) was playing Wright on or not, and I don't think there could have been too many complaints if it was given. However, with the manner of the 2 goals we conceded it is probably just best...

    Lineker was gutted

    People see what they want to see. If he has convinced himself of the Lineker smirk, nothing will change his view on that! Personally I thought MOTD were very respectful of us on the day we were relegated, and made a lot more of us going down and our history in the top league than many other...

    Leicester points deduction

    I thought the same. Taking legal action into the Courts and outside football's own jurisdiction would seem to set a dangerous precedent, and doing so would surely be frowned upon by the football authorities. I would have thought that any adverse outcome would then likely be higher as a result...

    Never again

    Well said Evo. I know you were iffy about bothering with the Oxford game earlier in the season, and I was quite exasperated with people continually calling every draw a crap one, when to me winning each round was more important than drawing one of the big fish in the early rounds. Unless...

    Next supporters forum 18 April

    While we may well lose some of the old regulars it's hard not to envisage the club's upwards trajectory not attracting other supporters into becoming season ticket holders. At the moment it is feasible that without a season ticket, it might be difficult securing an individual match ticket with...

    Next supporters forum 18 April

    Can't agree with the sentiments for season ticket holders getting refunds for non attendance. They already get tickets at a generously discounted rate compared to buying on a match by match basis, and have the luxury of knowing they are always guaranteed a ticket for any big cup or play off games.

    Leicester points deduction

    I grew up in Rugby in the 80's and while there were a few Leicester fans about it was definitely a Cov town, with quite a few mainstays of the Legion living there and having a very visible presence about the town. Don't recall seeing any group of Leicester fans about the town at any time during...
