@Rich was that you running the Coventry Way today??? I went past a chap in a Northbrook t-shirt right by the entrance to the old Bedworth Rugby Club (i was going other way on an e-bike in a yellow top, hood up)..... Could swear it was you....?!? Midland Road Relays yesterday.... we had a...

For us it was Flying Standard, Forresters, Brewer & Baker, and possibly one in the Binley Oak. Remember standing in the garden of the Binley Oak on a gorgeous day before the Derby match, thinking this is the last time i'll ever have a drink here. We used to call the Forresters "the long &...

I tried to be realistic on that predictor.... drawing one of the "winnable" home games. Losing at Blackburn. Drawing at Boro last day of season. Winning most of the others... finishing on 72pts in 6th which was surprising, as i believe we'd fall short with 72pts.

We seemed to go incredibly quickly from a front two of Clarke Wilson, to a front two of Akpom and Delfonso, in a short space of time at Northampton. I was travelling there most weeks and saw some great high-scoring games.... then bought a half-season ticket around xmas time and i think we only...

Its a shit-hole.... Not saying you can't have a decent time there (i have in the past)..... but its an utter dump and i'll hopefully never go there again unless for football.

Still need to win 5 out of last 8 absolute minimum.... and probably a draw or two. Whilst i don't see us losing many.... i don't see us being clinical enough to put minimum 5 winnable games away.

I think this really hurt us and stopped us building momentum for even bigger crowds. "Only" 23000 at home to QPR on a nice day, 3-0 win. That could so easily have been 32000 coming back the next week.

Claiming that Coventry is everybody's "big day out" makes us sound like clowns (and is pretty inaccurate.... i'd say the only real draw we have as an away trip is the large allocation available).

Yeah that's awful. Non-league fan's favourite....

I personally much prefer traditional songs about the city, than songs idolising a specific player.

Sang at opposition keepers (i always remember it being sung at Thomas Mhyre most of all) Mhyre is his name, Myhre is his name, He stinks of piss he's got no mates, Mhyre is his name.

I remember hearing this in the 90s in the West Terrace on occasion.

Our tuesday night session at the Godiva/University track was a shambles... it was icing over before we started. Attempted our first 300mtr rep and it resembled a speed-skating race. So we went out onto the road to do the session. 15 x 300mtrs with 20 seconds rests. I was still recovering from a...

We like to see ourselves as a Leicester/Southampton/Norwich/Ipswich club in size and stature. We've had our problems, far more than most, but the simple fact is our crowds do not match up to those teams. Even Derby and Sheff Weds are getting 25k+ in the 3rd division, and Sunderland were getting...

Last time i did this was driving back from Hull away. Pulled in at a service station on the way home and was accosted by a minibus full of Scunthorpe "lads", who were heading over to me believing i was a Man CIty fan and worthy of a kicking. Once they found out i was a city fan and we'd just...

Raced on the fells yesterday at Church Stretton in Shropshire. For a local champs race there was a surprisingly strong lineup, so the aim was simply a pb, and a bonus would be breaking top 15. Due to it only being a short race (circa 50mins) i treated it like a cross-country race and went hard...

3500 is a phenomenal effort. Last time i went was the weekend before xmas, bloody freezing, within 10 minutes we were 2-0 down and Kevin Kyle had been sent off. Went on to lose 4-0 or 4-1. My "sea view in every room" B&B didn't even have a window in my room.

Godiva club night, and 2 x 2 miles round the outside of the Memorial Park, with 3 minutes rest. So from the main car park, down to Coat Of Arms Bridge Road, down and under the railway, long drag back up to Leamington Road, then back along Kenilworth Road to the start/finish. 1st rep: 12:21 2nd...

I think i was on GMK til the death. The old GMK which was on the Rivals network was the funniest football forum i've been on. Lost hours on that place, as you could freely post on other club's forums as part of the network. This site is a credit to our club though.

I said the same to a Sunderland fan today... His response was to agree, and said that they get bullied by more streetwise teams (as we did to them in the first half, to an extent)
