    Jodi Jones & Hyam

    I think Thomas has been great this season. I have really enjoyed watching him and having him in our team. It would be great to keep him for next season too but I doubt that that will happen. Yes, he should have scored more goals but he has and still does get in the positions where those chances...

    I know you can pay on the gate. Don’t know about the price.

    Rarely mentioned past players.......

    Yes, always liked Chris Cattlin. A whole hearted player who looked a bit ungainly but was hard and effective. I thought he was allowed to leave too early, not sure who Gordon Milne had lined up to replace him. I remember there was a campaign by fans to try and get Milne to reverse his decision...

    Remember Hateley going well. I think the tribunal fee set was £50k and, as you say, he left Portsmouth a year later for a million.

    Rarely mentioned past players.......

    From that team Oakey, McDonald, Gillespie, Hutchison and Wallace would be in my all time City team. Fergie would be one of the subs. Yorath the best captain I have seen. Also loved Blyth in goal. There were so many great games that season.

    Rarely mentioned past players.......

    I can’t remember if his contract was running down, but Pearce definitely left for a fee. The surprising part of the deal was that his price was lower than that of Ian Butterworth who was no where near as good a player. They both left for Forest at the same time. Oakey was such a whole hearted...

    I’d agree with this except I think he was a right back. Best left back Bobby McDonald. Two attacking full backs like those in the team- wonderful!

    Stewards will check all bags

    I go to most away games. At nearly every ground bags are searched and people going in are frisked.

    Video Coventry v Oxford U

    I didn’t see this with the goal but they were definitely doing it on corners in the first half. The player is standing virtually on Burge’s toes leaning back into him, as the corner is taken he reaches behind and tries to hold onto him. Burge did complain to the ref in the first half but maybe...

    Can We Stop the Binaries?

    Not wishing my life away. I am looking at the prospect that my team might never play in my city again.Sisu don’t care about club or fans. If we are out of the city and it is not costing them money I think they will find that acceptable for as long as they have a chance of getting some of their...

    Feelings Towards Ricoh Arena Now

    I loved Highfield Road and wish we had never moved. All of the heartache of the last 10-12 years would never have happened. However, I don’t think the Ricoh has ever had a chance to thrive as a football stadium because things have been so bad since we moved there. A winning Championship team...

    Can We Stop the Binaries?

    Because they lie all of the time, they could reassure all of the time and it still wouldn’t mean anything. At the age of nearly 62 it is possible that yesterday was the last Saturday game I will see City play in Coventry.

    Tim said we are moving to rugby

    Although Butlin Road is a better and bigger ground than Liberty Way, access and infrastructure are not as good (still not very good at Liberty Way). However, in Nuneaton there would be less objections from residents as it is on an industrial estate and there is much more space for the erection...

    Tim said we are moving to rugby

    I haven’t been there for a few years but if it is still the same, there was only one fairly narrow cul de sac up to the ground. I am pretty sure that there were only one set of entrances, beside the social club. That would be a real problem getting a few thousand “home” fans in, never mind the...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Oxford United Match Thread - Saturday 23rd Mar

    Not wanting to put a downer on things as on the pitch everything is looking good. However, could this be our club’s last ever Saturday match in Coventry? There, I’ve said now! I think we will win today (I always think we will win however and quite often I am disappointed.

    Noel Whelan/Dave Bennet

    I never really rated him that highly when he was here. I always felt he had the potential to be a better player than he was. However, if you look at his Coventry goals compilation on YouTube, some of them are outstanding. He must be a member of a very exclusive club being a player who scored a...

    Speedie was off the scale on the old swearometer!

    Kelly should make the home games then.

    Crowd on Saturday

    I agree with this. Either a lot less than 15k for Morecambe or a lot more than 17k than got Notts.
