It pains me to say it, but I’d have my money on Wasps to stay up rather than go down... they deserved their win last night against one of the better sides in the division, and will pick up enough to stay up with a degree of comfort. I doubt they will challenge the top half though unless last...

To be fair it’s not unexpected.... some dickhead “genuinely feared relegation” a few months ago after one of our defeats... I think we were 5th at the time...

You knew what I meant... ok if we want to be exact, we are only 3 points off the 2nd placed team.... the point still stands... if people think the season has been a disappointment then they have short memories. I’d be disappointed if we didn’t make the playoffs, but Robins appears to be the...

Some people sound like they think we have an automatic right to be in the autos, due to size of club... The same thing many of us mock Sunderland for having the exact same attitude.... how’s that working out for them at the moment...? the dropped points are frustrating, but we are...

If the weather’s (and my legs!) are good I’m heading over to Kingsbury Parkrun for a pb attempt....

this really.... I genuinely mean this, Bentley’s Roof Leicester is a more entertaining and interesting read than this place at the moment... I only really log on to post on the running thread now.

Not accidental... but I do a lot of long-distance races in the mountains.... my longest race I’ve ever done started at 4am and took 18 hours... obviously 18 hours in the middle of nowhere leaves a few issues, shitting being one of them... The nerves and early start had got to me, and I...

Bumper day of cross-country for Cov Godiva yesterday... due to the rain, a few Midlands venues were postponed and moved up to where our race was being held, in farmland between Stoke and Crewe... Ladies off first, and Nuneaton and Tipton Harriers looked like they were fighting it out for the...

I may be wrong, and my apologies if so.... although I’m sure I read that on the WaspsBS thread...

I’m sure the above is true, it sounds a ludicrous thing to make up... But disregarding the above, aren’t these wankers supposedly meeting the Football League....? Why do they still continue to “represent the fans”...?

Ran a fell race in bitterly cold conditions on the Shropshire hills today. 1hr37 which was a pb by 6mins, and finished 42nd (i’d never previously got in the top 80).... although I was slightly downbeat to not get under my target of 1hr35.... although most people I spoke to said they were the...

racing on Boxing Day...! the intriguingly named Devil’s Chair Dash...

Strong week of training so far.... track session on Tuesday.... 4000ft hill session Wednesday.... 11 miles last night. a couple of very gentle runs this evening and tomorrow morning, then off to a fell race in Shropshire on Sunday. It’s the 3rd race in the Shropshire champs, and my first...

I took a Coventry Godiva team up to the Rossendale valley in Lancashire for a Fell Relay Race yesterday. Weather was fairly tame this year, but underfoot conditions and the boggy terrain was as bad as ever. Our fastest guy went first leg and came back in a stunning 5th position.... I was next...

I recall a night out in Cov, some group of lads started to cause some agro.... I decided it was inevitable to kick off and got in first, and lamped the ringleader, apparently breaking his nose.... we jumped in a taxi and got out of there... stupidly we went back to the Colly the following...

Burnley were in Europe two years ago... admittedly not through winning anything... but isn’t our greatest achievement (apart from the cup win) getting into Europe... not to mention their history.

Leicester are currently superior to Manchester United, and for what it’s worth they seem to be going the right way about staying at the top end for a substantial period. I’ll get slated on here for it, but fair play to them. Football in this country needs a shake up, and knocking one or two of...

Most people in my club who’ve done it seem to think that it’s slower than Cov. Although I think that’s because they are not strong on the hills, and that steep little hill just knocks a little bit out of them. My pb is at Bedworth... I think it possibly quicker than Cov, but it can punish you...

will be at least a few weeks, possibly mid December, but I’ll say hello if I’m down...!

Great stuff and good luck with Northbrook. If you really want to improve then clubs are the way to go. If you get involved at the Midlands Road Relays next spring (Northbrook usually have a large contingent there), look out for the Coventry Godiva flag and ask for Pete the fellrunner...! 10...
