    Just putting your hands on a player doesn’t make it a foul. Sounds like you agree with the “I felt a touch so I went down” baloney. Going to ground is, or should be, an involuntary action,from a push or a trip. I think Akinfenwa threw himself down when he felt Willis touch him. No pen in my opinion.

    I wouldn’t disagree. Sisu have stripped the infrastructure of the club. Two wrongs as far as I am concerned. First the multitude of crimes Sisu have committed against our club. However a franchise London rugby team should not be in Coventry. ( I know they are here because of Sisu’s despicable...

    Not saying half the price but sticking to the twenties plenty ideal sounds fair. ( In reality, still too high but fair enough in current structure).

    Yes, I was up there today, first time I have been around the Ricoh when Wasps have played. Thousands there before 2pm. When I got back in the car I put CWR on just to check the time of the KO which turned out to be 3pm. Not sure what they were all doing there more than an hour before KO but...

    More to the point, why do Exeter have a section of their ground where fans can watch more cheaply? Presumably because they realise that some of those who stand on the terrace would not go if the starting price for a game was £22.

    Stoke Details Confirmed - Saturday 6th January

    Ticket prices in this country are far too high and are exploiting the fans. However, that doesn’t excuse clubs over charging in the way that we do. The fact remains that for home fans to watch Exeter they can do so for £16, their cheapest admission price whereas for City it is £23. For...

    Should have said why can’t we have our own system that works efficiently. Sorry to sound like the old git that I am. If the club 50 years ago at Highfield Road, before the age of computers, was able to cope with average home crowds of 34k, with very little difficulty( including a huge walk up on...

    They may increase on a match day, I don’t know. The like for like comparison for cheapest entry is Exeter £16.50 Coventry £24 for home fans.

    Exeter ticket cost me £16, Exeter end, as I couldn’t get one in the away section. No extra admin cost as they don’t use Ticket Master (why do we have to use them?) and only 50p postage as opposed to a pound here. Total cost for a home game against Exeter would, I think be £24(ticket plus admin...

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

    As I remember, they were pushing for the play offs last season too. I am often disappointed, but in this league I look at the fixtures and think we should win every game. In this case. Wycombe are only a couple of points ahead of us coming to our ground. We have already convincingly beat several...

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

    Last season with deflated teams managed by Venus(I think) and Slade, we beat Wycombe twice.A lot of posters on here say that this season’s team is better than last season’s ( although I would not be sure about that), therefore should this not be a game we should win? Also the better combination...

    Presumably board meetings these days consist of Fisher talking to himself. I bet he still lies.

    Transfer Rumour Baker

    Totally disagree. If you look at his record in the first season in the third division he was in tremendous form. With the ratio you give he only played 4 or 5 good games.

    Christmas coming early apparently? / Dale Evans...

    Mm chance then for Hoffman or someone else to move in.

    Christmas coming early apparently? / Dale Evans...

    Not that it really matters as there seems very little chance that Dale will be taking over, but I would sooner Sisu were gone. Not because I think Dale is the answer. Simply that it would almost certainly be easier for a safe, reliable buyer to get their hands on the club from Dale than it would...

    Transfer Rumour Apparently close to signing 2 players

    If he wanted out wouldn’t he have let his contract run down?

    Just a thought on penalties. We rarely seem to get any at all. Last season, did we have one in the league? This season, almost half way through we have had none. A consequence of not having the ball in the box enough perhaps or are referees just giving less penalties? Compared to McSheffrey’s...

    Cheltenham Highlights

    Players will often whinge or moan to the ref at the time. I’m not sue too many would bother to continue the conversation instead of going straight down the tunnel. For what it’s worth, at the time I felt he went down far too easily. The video does suggest there is some holding going on but, like...
