    Crowd be interesting next week.

    The tone from some posters is that fans should support the team as things are going well and forget about the ownership issues. It has even been suggested on this thread that perhaps Sisu have learnt from their mistakes and have changed. I wouldn't call the major issues mentioned above every...

    Crowd be interesting next week.

    I think most people are well aware of what Sisu are responsible for. It isn't every little thing. It is the major threat to the existence of our club. Moans and gripes about ticketing etc are justified as it is they who have put in the systems that do not work properly (even if that is down to...

    Crowd be interesting next week.

    I think most supporters would be more reassured about all of the major issues that afflict the club if Sisu would come out and say what their plan is. The possibility is that they don't have one. I don't think that that is acceptable. They have a history of making disastrous decisions with...

    Great if we didn't need to hear from them. Unfortunately the fate of the club is in their hands including where we play.

    Crowd be interesting next week.

    What have Sisu done to show that they have got the message? We are constantly told that City and Sisu are separate. Well fair enough then. The team, under the management of Mark Robins seem to be going in the right direction. Apart from allowing him to get on with it, what have Sisu done? There...

    It is already happening. There was a City fan on 606 after the Notts County game. He said how well we had played and how it was great to get off to such a good start. The presenter then said "So the problems you have had over recent seasons are being solved." Credit to the City fan as he quickly...

    If it was simply about what they have done to the team then fair enough, mid Championship, back where they have found us. However, we had the option to buy into the stadium built for us when they arrived, we had somewhere for the academy to be based and there was no threat hanging over Ryton. If...

    Heard them at the three games we have played so far.

    David Boddy's Programme Notes

    One of the great things about Jimmy Hill when he was manager was that he never missed an opportunity of putting Coventry City in the headlines, often this was nationally as well as locally. As the club was successful, you could say it was easier for him. However, even when he started, before...

    I thought the season we had Clarke and Wilson up front was successful on the pitch (certainly not off it). We had an outside chance of the play offs, Clarke was sold and replaced with inadequate replacements. The only other "successful" season with Sisu that I can think of was under Mowbray when...

    Ticket Office

    I have just booked a ticket for the Yeovil game. I enquired at the same time about my son's season ticket which still hasn't come and about my ticket which for some reason now has a block on its use. The lady there told me it is categorically a CCFC ticket office matter and that they...

    I think there is precedent. Wilson was injured when Clarke was sold and we replaced him with Akpon who had priority over us for Arsenal youth games and the useless, lazy guy from Villa whose name escapes me. We also sold Jutkiewicz with no immediate replacement before getting Nimbly on loan (who...

    Reason Behind Saturdays Ticket Farce

    I thought tickets were still on sale on the day? When I got there they had only the one turnstile open. That was for tickets but also had an "Away fans £20 " notice on it too. I thought people were able to pay on the gate despite them saying that tickets were withdrawn?

    Coventry City Podcast

    I don't agree with everything he says about the games but I enjoy reading his reports. I think they are much more entertaining than a typical fact filled account of a game that tells you who shot over the bar in the 25th minute.

    City were 8/1 with Ladbrokes to win the league before yesterday's game. Now 6/1.

    Match Thread Grimsby Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 12th Aug

    It happened right in front of the away end so most City fans there had a really clear view. It was a stonewall penalty. The ball was in front of Vincenti who had a clear sight for a shot on goal and would almost certainly have scored. As he went to strike the ball a Grimsby defender put his foot...

    Jodi Jones - 100k?

    Not a problem. Just disagreeing with the point you made.

    Jodi Jones - 100k?

    Just answering the comment that he had no plan B. You lose 4 good centre halves in a season it is hard to cover which is the point Mowbray was making.
