    Fly on the wall football films/documentaries

    I recommend a drama on Netflix called The English Game. It is based on true events and players from the latter part of the 19th century, and is about how football changed from being a sport for the wealthy to being available to the working class folk. A great watch, I spent an afternoon watching...

    U23s v QPR today

    I hope that Giles might play a part in this match, if he obviously cannot play in the FA Cup. Be nice to ‘see’ what he might offer (by ‘see’ I’m going from what others who will be there who can report on here...sadly I’m working today)

    Match Thread Tranmere Rovers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 1st Jan

    Darren Huckerby? One hat trick was against Macclesfield Town I think in the third round of the FA Cup, the other hat trick might have been against Leeds United? I stand to be corrected

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I’ve just noticed that next year’s Champion of Champions snooker will move from the Ricoh Arena to Milton Keynes. That will be another hit to the coffers. Certainly the semi finals and final appeared to have been well attended.

    Does anybody have any updates on the injury to Josh Pask? Any possibility he might be close to a return?

    That’s nothing though; Sunderland are stuck in 1977

    Favourite football ground that no longer exists (excluding HR)

    May I put in a vote for the old Wembley Stadium? The walk up Wembley Way to see those iconic two towers looming. Quite an experience and particularly on Cup Final day it made it special Now although obviously in the same location the towers have been replaced by an arch and even Wembley Way...

    Easy fixtures

    We helped put 2 of those teams in the bottom three by beating what is put out in front of us. By this logic, Manchester United’s first game against Chelsea was “easy” as they were second from bottom after the first day of the season...crikey how crap is that Europe’s League winning side!?!

    I’d just hope we would give him the number 52 shirt!

    Poll: Who to target

    I voted for Wasps. Living outside of Coventry, I don’t think there is much I can personally do that affects the Council (cannot withhold Council Tax for example, and not would I encourage anyone to do so), however I do intend to spend more money on Coventry RFC this year to hopefully contribute...

    First ‘Home’ Game Attendance

    I think if the club get the marketing right, and maybe if they throw in a surprise appearance by Tawny Kitaen to boost some numbers then we could see 5,000 come to watch a barn storming win for the Sky Blues

    Sightings of CCFC Footballers (away from the pitch)

    I’ve probably said this before on this site, but my mum helped Paul Edwards move into his house when he played for Coventry. I don’t know if it’s the same house as mentioned here. I will never forget sitting in our front room, when the doorbell rang and sure enough after entering the house Paul...

    Match Thread Leamington match thread

    Some of the sarcastic abuse thrown at Conor Chaplin on the official CCFC Facebook is quite disgusting and the stuff of a 5 year old’s mentality. Stating the obvious in that he did not score in the time that he was on and mocking him for that, but conveniently not mentioning that Hiwula, Bakayoko...

    Kit launch at Coombe Abbey

    We should do the domestic quadruple; League, Carabao, Checkatrade and FA Cup. Show that other team that play in sky blue how to win 4 trophies in a season!

    Kit launch at Coombe Abbey

    Have there been any details released about the colour of the home shorts and socks? Not that I’m intending to buy those, at my age!

    Preview Feature

    “The players may find it unusual playing in a different stadium”. They didn’t seem to struggle when at the Stadium of Light. In fact, with the exception of Bristol Rovers away, I’d say last season we were more disappointing at the RICOH...where we had to play on a ‘pitch’ that resembled...

    Seppala Interview on Sky Sports News

    I’d just shag her all day every day (particularly given the dry spell I’m on!) if we were still in Coventry, she is a very attractive lady
