    Season Tickets

    Thanks for the link. It says ‘Early Bird Season Ticket prices remain the same as for the 2013/14 season, again as goodwill and reflecting the cost of travel for Sky Blues fans attending our matches at Sixfields Stadium.’ Wonder if it’ll be the same approach as then i.e no increase on last...

    St Andrews confirmed!

    Hopefully the club will have planned for the worst case scenario of the ground share being needed including considering season ticket prices, whether there will be print at home tickets and match packages etc. From a practical point of view, I’d find it difficult to attend all games and...

    St Andrews confirmed!

    I’m so disappointed. For purely practical reasons I won’t be renewing a long standing season ticket. I worry about the consequences of this for the Club in the long term. Unlike the Northampton season, I blame Wasps as much as if not more so than SISU for where we are. I can’t do St Andrews...

    If we move

    I won’t renew my season ticket if we are playing out of Coventry. It’s a practical issue. I simply won’t be able to go to every game. Depending on where we are - Birmingham City likely, bBurton and MK Dons unlikely - I may go sometimes. If there are away matches with sufficient seats for the...

    Ground share will be a disaster

    If we are playing out of Coventry, I won’t renew my season ticket. I’ll go to some games - frequency depending on where we are. Likely to go more often if it’s Birmingham than say, Milton Keynes. I might go to more away games than currently, assuming I can get tickets. If I see actual evidence a...

    Tim said we are moving to rugby

    I read this as a denial that Tim Fisher said anything about a groundshare at Rugby Town at the match yesterday and that the aim remains to play at the Ricoh next season. There’s is no denial of Rugby Town being a considered option. Not ruling out the rumours entirely yet!

    Trust Statement

    The Club needs it’s own stadium and the income generated to survive and flourish and I’d happily move to a new one in Coventry if it was built. I can’t help being sceptical that it will be though, despite SISU’s recent statement which, as an olive branch, is very welcome. Building a new...

    Burge - 4. Indecisive. Really poor distribution which is a must for a good keeper these days. Hugely visible error that led to a goal and others that could have. Mason - 6 Bright in places going forward. Combined well with Shipley to make that chance in the 2nd half, but should he have passed to...

    Ratings for Tonight

    Burge 7 - his good saves stopped us losing by at least a couple more goals. Almost an 8 but hard to give a goalkeeper that score when we lose 3-nil. Grimmer - 4 never stopped trying but not very effective in either defence or attack. Minimal impact on the game. Brown - 5 got to the byline...

    Match Thread Walsall vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 10th Nov

    Why were so many fans allowed to stand and watch the game from the walkway behind the goal? It’s for walking in and out surely, not watching from. If the pitch invaders had been at their seats, standing or sitting, the stewards and police would have been inside the advertising hoardings and on...

    Nephew's first game

    That sounds right. The pub was the White Lion and there was a newsagents on the corner - Janjuas? And the Paris Cinema where The Empire is now. Grew up nearby and went to St Mary’s where the new mental health centre is now.

    Burge - 8. No chance with the penalty. Didn’t concede otherwise and no errors in distribution. Looks more confident and I feel more confident in him. Brown 5 - gave away the penalty and not a great performance defending or attacking. Nothing stood out. Davies and Willis - both an 8. Defended...

    Jordan Shipley - is he good enough for league 1

    He’s not a player who gets you out of your seat but I think he does an important job for the team in terms of shape and solidity etc. When the strikers score or the flair players do get us out of our seats, Shipley is a part of the successful whole. When the chances created for other are missed...

    Blocks 14 to 16

    As a season ticket holder in Block 16, I’m really disappointed I won’t be able to occasionally bring friends and family by buying available seats for them near mine. I do go to watch the football first and foremost, but I love introducing friends to football and taking younger and older members...

    Notts County Second Leg - where does it rank?

    I’ve been asking myself this question. I didn’t make Wembley in 87 sadly. If you’d asked me before last Friday what my favourite game was, I’d probably have gone for the White Hart Lane miracle, the last game at Highfield Road, or the win at Wimbledon in 96. For me the very best games are...

    Nolan

    He is a poor manager now because he sets out his team to play the worst possible football. But he will never be a great manager because he can’t lose with a bit of grace. Be sick with disappointment, annoyed with decisions but say something gracious about your opponent. The capacity to do that...
