    Dale Evans .......

    When I heard him on the radio on Friday he just sounded so implausible,"Can someone gives me Gary Hoffman's number?" But he has kept going despite getting dogs abuse apparently. The fact that he would be willing to subject himself and his family to even worse if this all turns out to be a wind...

    Dale Evans .......

    Listened to Coventry and Warwickshire for the last two news bulletins. No mention of this. Is that; no news is good news or that Dale is just having us on?

    Latest Sky Blue Trust leter to Timmy

    What about removing the club from Coventry and moving it to Northampton. Would this not be evidence of neglect. Even the judge commented that the purpose of this move was to distress ACL, not for the good of the club. When you look how much that move cost the club in terms of lost revenue and...

    Match Thread Luton Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 28th Oct

    I think we will win 2-0 as well. We have been the better team in every game we have played this season with the possible exception of the game at Accrington. All of this without playing very well. I think a team that comes at us will allow us to pick them off. I will probably put a tenner on...

    Imagine if Sunderland came to town....

    Link to the game on YouTube. You can see the amount of Bristol fans on the Kop when they scored their second. Segregation seems pretty ropey but no trouble as I remember.

    Imagine if Sunderland came to town....

    Just being pedantic so apologies. There was nothing like 20k Bristol fans there that night. Seven or eight thousand maybe. They were allocated a good part of the Kop. However, West End, Sky Blue Stand and Main Stand sides as well as at least 50% of the Kop were sky blue. What did the Kop terrace...

    The all new sparkling positivity thread

    Has Robins had a change of philosophy this season? During his first spell and for most games when he arrived last season we played slick, fast flowing football. This season we seem to take an age to get the ball from defence to attack ( excluding when we hoof it). The loss of Andreu and the non...

    Just got back from this. I have to say that I didn't realise how big this place was. It is like a factory. I would think that anyone who worked here would be sad to see what was once obviously a vibrant place run down and neglected. During its heyday the CET must have been a fairly big employer...

    Prehistoric Robins and his favourites!

    I don't think Colchester threatened our goal once. Not excusing what was another poor display by us.

    City of Culture Bid

    Sorry if mentioned already, I haven't read all of the posts. Port Vale, bottom of League Two at the time, played here a few weeks ago wearing a special kit used to promote Stoke's rival City of Culture bid. Now they do have genuine potteries opposition in Stoke City, bigger club, better history...

    My son is in his third year as a teacher. The highest mortgage he could get on his wage was 90k. There are very few houses in the Coventry Nuneaton area for that. His wife has just found a new job and returned to work after the birth of their first child. She has a one year contract that may or...

    City of Culture Bid

    I think you are misjudging the impact of the fall we have had. To most football fans we are a fairly big club fallen on hard times. The stick I took today at work in Chelmsley Wood for the fact we were beaten by FGR proves the point. They know how far down the pan we have gone, but their...

    City of Culture Bid

    I agree with you. The fact Wasps are here I think is down to Sisu and the games that they played. I am sure there are lots of views on Wasps. My own view is that they were a south east based team. That's where their roots were, that's where their fans were. I hate the idea of franchise sports...

    City of Culture Bid

    I was listening to someone from Hull on the radio recently. They have done really well out of their City of Culture status, millions of pounds pumped into the local economy. I hope Coventry is successful as it would be a force for good in the City. I just can't understand, if it is true, a bid...

    What an embarrassment!!

    It's true. Fisher said at the Trust meeting we would have a top eight budget so at the moment Robins is achieving the position that his budget is dictating. It could therefore be said that for most of this season he has over achieved. Interesting to see the knives already starting to come out...

    City of Culture Bid

    I was talking to my son as we walked across Tesco car park after the game tonight. Hard to be made even gloomier after that result and performance but what he told me made me more depressed and also annoyed. He told me that the presentation put forward by the body promoting Coventry as The City...

    FA cup draw

    Two wins then draw Tottenham away. We always beat them at Wembley.

    Is It open at the weekend? Would like to have a look around. I think there is a short film on the move to Northampton too.

    What's the possibility of us being at The Butts next season?

    Not at all. I love them all! Simple comment on how children brought up in the same way will develop in their own way.

    What's the possibility of us being at The Butts next season?

    I have four boys, all now grown up. The elders two are big sports fans and come with me to the football when ever they can. The younger two hated sport and hated football.They both now take part in sport ( runnning and badminton) but still have no interest in football and Coventry City despite...
