    Investment rumour.

    The airport land is owned by Coventry City Council, leased by Sir Peter Rigby's group, and planning jurisdiction falls under Warwick District Council. Having worked with the airport for a number of years, it will be sad to see it go...lots of potential there. But I guess this is another way of...

    Favorite EVER CCFC Player

    I'll probably be mocked endlessly for this, but Trond Soltvedt for me. Unfairly got given the moniker of 'trundler', but I always felt he did his job without fuss in the centre of the park. Never wanted to be a headline grabber. Also never sulked when he was put on the bench. Also met him once...

    Joining 'Greater Birmingham' would be good for the City, says Ann Lucas..

    to be honest, I was in favour of the Gateway scheme. That area of Greenbelt land was previously a sewage works and the Armstrong Whitworth factory. Plus, Baginton is already connected to Coventry by Mill Hill, the Stonebridge industrial estate and the bloody airport. I think the Gateway scheme...

    Joining 'Greater Birmingham' would be good for the City, says Ann Lucas..

    Councillor Lucas seems to be forgetting that she is effectively on a rolling contract and that it is we who decide her fate. She is behaving like a dictator. the following link is a few years old, but is nonetheless representative of what the future will hold if this crackpot idea goes ahead...

    Who was the last.........

    I'd like to put in a shout for Trond Egil Soltvedt. Was never a glamorous footballer, and I remember when Rob Gurney (unfairly in my opinion) gave him the moniker of 'Trundler'. Always stuck rigidly to his task in midfield. However, I remember the day we sold him to Southampton was the same day...

    Were the 2 Lady Godiva's models?

    I think there'd be plenty of people willing to pay to be given a chance to photograph those two beautiful ladies. You'd probably be able to cover the cost to rent the RICOH for a year. Anyway, put me down for a calendar.

    15 games left - 45 points up for grabs!

    We still have 4 of the current top 6 to play in these remaining games. 3 of those 4 are to be played at the Ricoh (Bournemouth is obviously away). Meanwhile Yeovil, who are currently just below us, also have to visit. We must turn out in numbers for these games, and ideally all the remaining...

    Saturday's games

    An MK Dons equaliser would be very nice in my opinion. Edit, that was written before they went 2 down. So two MK Dons goals would be nice now

    O'Driscoll

    I have a feeling it will be Roy Keane (managed Sunderland in PL) ex Forest player might win over a few of the fans...even though his managerial record is hardly brilliant

    Steve Cotterill

    According to Linnell on CWR, Staunton was doing a scouting job for Sunderland. He will probably be at Stevenage Borough's next game too then...

    Back to the future?

    Coleman in the hunt? I think the FAW will have something to say about that.

    Paul Dickov & Gerry Taggart!

    I saw Gary Breen and Darren Purse on the same flight from Faro to Coventry once...was in about 2006 though

    Candidates

    I have stated Kevin Blackwell on another thread, and given my reasons. Also, Jim Magilton got Ipswich playing some good football, and Glenn Roeder would get respect from players at this level

    Andy thorn has been sacked

    Would really like to see Kevin Blackwell apply and then given the chance...3 play off campaigns in 8 seasons (2 of which resulted in his teams reaching the Play off final), eye for talent: signing Jermaine Beckford for Leeds United...I think he could really get the best out of McDonald, Elliott...

    Skyblue Quiz

    I recall Huckerby got 2 hattricks in successive games, but cannot remember if they were both in the league or if one was in the first round of the FA Cup(against Macclesfield maybe???) Dion (v Chelsea, opening day of 97-98 season), Huckerby (one of those aforementioned games at least), Quinn (v...

    Sky Blues Player

    I guess I will find out in about half an hour....darn, I might have to put up with Linnell's wafflings for no reward.

    Sky Blues Player

    EastLancsCov, have you also tried using the Listen Live option on the BBC Coventry and Warwickshire website,in the event that your SkyBluesPlayer does not work? Only drawback is Stuart Linnell blowing sunshine up Andy Thorns huge arse. Apologies if you have already explored this option
