    Taxi on the way

    The only evidence that I have seen about the size of the budget was Fisher’s statement about us having the eighth best budget in the division. As I have mentioned before, I am sure that Fisher would want to give the most positive picture he could, no reason for him to say eighth biggest when in...

    Tom Bayliss

    Stevenson played really well when he first broke into the team. Really harsh to write off a young player who has shown in several matches in a higher league and in a struggling team that he can play.

    Who could/should you have supported?

    Must have been great to hear first hand about Carrie Bourton. Guaranteed goal a game man in the old third division. There must be hardly anyone left who saw him play.

    Great win + injuries

    Thought Vincenti was playing well when he got injured against Wycombe.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Chesterfield Match Thread 1st Jan 2018

    Davis looked at one stage in the first half yesterday like he would have to come off. He ran the injury off for the game but there is still a possibility he will struggle to recover in a two day turnaround.

    Police yesterday

    Obviously was a big away following for Carlisle as we were listening to BBC Radio Cumbria on the way home and the Carlisle version of Clive Eakin commented to Keith Curle that if they had regular away attendances of over 800 his transfer kitty would have a big boost! Incidentally Keith thought...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    I agree, there is nothing we can do about it now but I still think it is right to challenge the notion that it is okay for Wasps to be here. It is amazing how many people I have met in both Coventry and Birmingham who go to their games but don’t see that there is anything wrong with them being...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Surely the whole purpose of a professional sports team is to play, entertain and be a part of the community that fostered it? If, as you say, Wasps were floundering in Wycombe then they should surely have cut their cloth accordingly ( something that CCFC have had to do over the past few years)...

    How much would promotion cost?

    Having seen division 4 at first hand for the first time this year it has surprised me how bad the standard is, even when compared to the league above. I think even Sisu may struggle to get us relegated from this division. I am sure they will give it a good go however.

    Second loanee imminent

    Not sure why people think Nazon is on his way out. Certainly Robins seemed keen on him staying. I haven’t heard anything quoted from Nazon unless I have missed it. I hope he stays as he is different to all of the other forward players we have.

    Our Away support v The Championship

    The Sheff. Wed game was a night midweek match that was televised. I remember watching it at the old GEC club. As midweek and televised it was not surprising that the away support was down. I do wonder if Ifollow will start to hit away attendances. I thought it was only for fans overseas but...

    One of my favourite festive games

    Beaten into second place by Ernie Hunt’s goal versus Burnley, early 70s.! (Shot from inside his own half, meant it too!)

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    I am sure they haven’t put a ceiling on how far they want to go. It may take time but I am sure that they would want to go as high as they could.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Also shows how careful long term planning from owners who care can reap rewards.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Another win too. What a great season. I would love to see them back at the top and showing Wasps who the City’s rugby team really are.

    Match Thread Port Vale - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 26th Dec

    I hope we win but can see it being a real battle. We deservedly beat them at home but they nearly sneaked a point late on after being outplayed. They have changed manager and improved a lot since then. I think it will be tough.

    Friday night games

    I am not saying that there weren’t thousands of Gloucester fans there, but I have to say I didn’t see them. I saw one guy wearing a red and white rugby shirt which I assume is the Gloucester colours. Thousands of yellow and black wearing people. A lot more diverse crowd than you would see at the...

    McWankty

    Regis was just played in the wrong way. I’ve said before Cyrille was a real Rolls Royce of a player, pure class.

    Christmas coming early apparently? / Dale Evans...

    But probably easier to get rid of and replace.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Wycombe Wanderers Match Thread - Friday 22nd Dec

    Almost like the argument that it was better to play at Sixfields as the atmosphere was better there than the poisonous one at the Ricoh. (Nonsense of course). I would like to see as many City fans there as possible.
