    Hang your heads in shame

    Fact - Under Sisu we have been relegated twice and last season, despite gaining promotion, finished in our lowest ever league position. Fact - Sisu took this club to Northampton effectively holding it ransom simply to distress ACL (see judge’s comments in JR 1). Fact - Last season’s average...

    Legals

    It would seem to me that they are using the legal system to distress first ACL and now Wasps. As others have said, this is battering people with court rather than in court. The fairness of their case seems to be secondary (if it is there at all) to their intention to keep their opponents tied...

    Stadium Deadline

    Brighton only played at Gillingham for two years. They were back in Brighton at the Withdean Stadium after that.

    Didn’t Pressley say that playing at Sixfields made it harder to attract players?

    Last 100k crowd at Wembley? Probably not this, can’t think of anything else.

    So it begins....

    That was a great Cup Final though. Porterfield’s goal, Montgomery’s save from Lorimer. I bet most football fans were really pleased Sunderland beat Leeds. I know I was.

    I go to the SBitC walking football. I love it. I am 62 next month and before doing this had given up any thoughts of playing football again. However, the sessions are competitive and there is the odd meety challenge (mostly accidental to be honest). At Finbarr's where two sessions a week are...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Bristol Rovers Match Thread - Sunday 7th Apr

    Performances, as with today, have mostly been good this season. In a lot of games the results haven’t reflected how well we have played. I thought we were excellent today until we got to the box. The passing and movement at times was superb. We could and should have won in a canter. Some really...

    Butts

    All these people who now go to Wasps, at least the Coventry contingent, if they wanted to watch rugby, had they gone to Cov, they would have given the City’s own rugby club a fighting chance of reaching the top flight. Imagine what Cov could have achieved if they were watched by 6k or 7k each...

    Butts

    It can’t be easy though having Wasps in the City. People who aren’t committed to Cov, young boys or girls just getting interested in the sport will see a top flight team playing in Coventry and probably plump for them over a second division team. Look at the difference in facilities too. When I...

    Agents Fees

    Very harsh, particularly on Burnley who are a great club with a long top flight tradition including title wins as recent as the 1960s. They have an average gate of 20k in a town with a population of 70k. There is an argument that can be made that they are the best supported club in England based...

    Priorities

    I don’t think it has to be which do you love more, club or city. The city of Coventry would survive the Ricoh folding. The whole project from start to finish has been fraught with difficulties. The fact that the stadium inspired by and built for Coventry City is now in the hands of a franchise...

    Woodlands

    So did I but it is a good walk. There is nothing really around the stadium itself. Not much infrastructure there at all in fact. Just one country road going past the stadium.

    Woodlands

    Shrewsbury is on a green field site miles from anywhere. Chesterfield is in More of an urban area but has dual carriageways within 100m of the stadium. It would be great if it were to happen but I don’t think it will be that easy. And that is still supposing that Sisu are genuine.

    EFL Stadium Vote

    Those pesky people at the Trust killing our club again. Now they have rigged a Football League poll that will somehow allow Hoffman to buy the club. What a devious, devilishly clever bunch they are! I voted for Option B but did so with a heavy heart. Looking at the results of the poll and...

    Matchday parking

    I have parked there for the past two seasons. The path through the park can be really muddy so on most occasions it’s a walk up Longford Road then back through Tesco. Through the park, when not muddy is less than ten minutes. The other way is a fifteen minute walk. Either way is okay.

    Checkatrade Final

    We had 43k or 44k at our Checkatrade final. Did either team match that? ( This is a question).

    Match Thread Barnsley vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 30th Mar

    You watched a different game to me then. Yes, there were spells when they were on top but there were also spells when we were the better team. In terms of shots, they had loads more than us, most from distance and most were off target. We had by far the better chances. Reaction of the fans...
