    Taxi on the way

    If you have the righr manager you give him time. This club and the teams that represent it have been on a fifteen year downward curve. I think it will take more than 6 or 7 months and one transfer window to change things. Robins needs to be given the one thing none of his predecessors were-...

    Taxi on the way

    Honest Tim said we had a top eight budget. Now I know the truth and Tim are not comfortable bed fellows but I would have thought he would try and put forward the most positive scenario he could. Therefore the budget is more likely to be eighth downwards rather than upwards. Robins has been...

    Taxi on the way

    I saw all 34 top flight seasons. By 1976 our bubble had well and truly burst and 37k attendances were anything but the norm. I certainly don’t accept the dross we are served up at the moment. With good owners we have the potential to do at least as well as say Leicester or Southampton. Saying...

    Taxi on the way

    The answer to our problems is yet another manager. So to do the same thing again will actually work this time. How about doing something different this time and actually give the manager a bit of time.

    I thought that the story was that the town planners did away with more of medieval Coventry than the Luftwaffe in the way they rebuilt Coventry after the war?

    Coventry, City of Culture 2021

    You would hope that the development isn’t more concrete and glass buildings but architecture that will be sympathetic to the iconic buildings we already have. I noticed when on the school trip that the green space opposite the transport museum has a new building, I assume student accommodation...

    Need to knock it down before that happens.

    Coventry, City of Culture 2021

    I was on a trip with the school I work at this week to the Herbert and the Transport Museum. We also popped into the Cathedral ruins. The children, as always, really enjoyed the trip. The staff who came are all Birmingham based apart from me, not surprising as the school is in Chelmsley Wood...

    Great news for Coventry. It seems it will be a real boost to the City. Can anyone see any benefits for the football club?

    We've made the shortlist along with Sunderland. If we win it'll obviously be because the voting started 15 minutes late.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Boreham Wood Match Thread - Sunday 3rd Dec

    Not true. I’ve followed the City since 1967 and had a season ticket since 1971. FA cup tickets have never been included as part of the season ticket. Until a few years ago, why would they be? If you look at historical attendances, the FA cup always attracted bigger attendances than league games...

    Fa Cup Draw Thread

    Why would there be only 30k there? I am pretty sure that a huge amount of City fans would go if tickets were available. Fifteen percent of 80k would give us an allocation of 12k. I think we would sell that out and ask for more if available. I am pretty sure that more than 18k Spurs fans would...

    Beavon

    I can’t remember him having any gilt edge chances to miss. He could be criticised for not getting into positions to score but we have not made it easy for him in the way that we play. In the first few games he was trying to win balls in the air against 6 foot 6 centre halves, that was never...

    Do Wasps own this site? Is it green belt?if they don’t own it it will be interesting to see if they have the funds to buy and develope it. What would Bradstreet do?
