    Podium Mizuno Mile, New Years Eve, Battersea Park. That'll be a change from a marathon! Can't really suggest for other people..... but i think its important to have a goal somewhere down the line to keep focus. For me the overriding goal is the European Mountain Masters Champs in late May in...

    Ruud Van Nistelrooy applies for Coventry Job

    Tbf "getting us promoted and keeping us up" is getting way ahead of ourselves. I'm not sure we're in a position to be worrying about the consequences of that happening just yet.

    What’s your expectation for the new guy?

    Good luck with that.

    What’s your expectation for the new guy?

    Season is written off after last week. Got to give the new guy a chance. Binning him off at end of season (or even this time next season) is just going back into the old cycle of revolving-door managers.

    OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked

    We should probably remind ourselves that the general consensus on here was recruitment was very good and we should be making Automatic Promotion, playoffs at the very least. In a similar way that recruitment was made out to be awful early on in the previous season, when it turned out to be...

    Whilst the City match was on today, i was heading up the M1 to Long Eaton for the National Masters Cross Country Relays. 5 legs of 3km each.... pretty flat, but plenty of twists and turns, and surfaces ranging from stone to slippery mud. I ran the 2nd leg for Godiva, taking over in 5th...

    Birmingham Airport Locked Down

    I was there a few weeks ago and it was utterly ridiculous. And there was still a lift not operating. Arrived at airport before 4am, well over 2hrs before departure time, and still only just made the last call. So bad that for my next flight i'm going down to London City rather than fly direct...

    Birmingham Airport Locked Down

    BHX being reduced to a smoking hole in the ground would actually improve the passenger experience (and would drastically improve the queueing times)

    Robins Out Poll pt3

    Yes.... they've also started poorly but they were a Premier League side last season and i don't expect to beat them on saturday. We really could have done with beating QPR.

    Robins Out Poll pt3

    "Robins out - if we lose to Luton"...... would be a frankly ridiculous decision to base it on the outcome of a single match. What happens if we beat Luton then lose the next two or three.... does the next match become "Robins out" if we lose. Surely people can see that we've come so far...

    Club night with Godiva and we were on a 30 minute continuous effort, up and down the hill on Westwood Business Park. Went through 5km in 19:20, and just about held this pace through to 30 minutes (with a distinct wobble with about three minutes to go) 11 miles for the session, and 4 uphill...

    Don't get me wrong.... i'm with you in general..... i perhaps worded it wrong. I believe fans are free to moan if they like..... but i don't think anything good comes of it, i don't necessarily think they should..... and of course personal abuse is a different matter entirely..... the best...

    I think fans are entitled to if they want.... whether they perhaps should is a very different matter. On the subject of entitlement.... i think that a lot fans assume that because they pay for a ticket/season ticket/etc entitles them to a guarantee of success...... just because they were...

    Some of our fans

    Funny that those who voiced a note of caution before the season started, that we weren't necessarily going to piss it this year..... were told we need to "believe" and "trust in Robins" Generally by the same people who are now suggesting we replace him.

    The holiday 2023 thread

    Similar to posts above, i'm off to Sicily next May (although i'm racing there so half holiday, half "business"!). By necessity i'll need to stay on the east of the island, and have booked flights into Catania (from London City....... it was cheaper to go Business Class from London City...

    Which got me thinking about some geographical things.... England is split for Regional purposes into North/Midlands/South. With Bristol & West being the top team in the Midlands at the moment (and indeed one of the top teams in the country)...... but they're not really the Midlands are they...

    Unseasonable warm weather at Aldersley Wolverhampton yesterday for the Midlands Cross Country Relay Champs. Some last minute jiggery-pokery with the teams, and i found myself running 3rd leg (of 4 legs) for our 1st team. On the opening leg our guy had a stormer and came back in 5th place...
