I reckon 8500. The casual/fair weather supporter doesn't really care that we put in a good performance last weekend (for 45 minutes anyway). All they see if we lost to "fucking Cambridge". And as mentioned above, Exeter for the same reason will not be a draw to those fans, top of the league or not.

Longford/Foleshill/Holbrooks Tile Hill/Canley/Earlsdon Wyken/Binley Bedworth/Nuneaton In my considered opinion, based on absolutely no facts or statistics...

Home to Ipswich in 1992, sat in the family stand. Chris Kiwomya opened the scoring I think, possibly a rebound after a save. We went 2-1 up and it finished 2-2. Peter Ndlovu ran riot down the left wing for most of the game. First away game was Villa in the mid 90's on a weeknight. Absolutely...

My thoughts... First half we were very lacklustre, after a good first 7 or 8 minutes. Jones looked the liveliest but his full back didn't help out by basically standing behind him, leaving him to come all the way off the touch line with two players to beat every time. We were bullied by their...

All the "heroes" who confronted and abused Tim Fisher today have done is spite themselves. Made themselves look like buffoons, whilst Tim Fisher walks calmly away as the better man.

Oh that's alright then.

It's just common decency in public though, don't you think? Or perhaps you think going up to complete strangers and giving them a load of abuse is acceptable behaviour.

Some absolute bullshit being written on here. The guy may be unpopular, but if city fans can't keep hold of themselves that they have to attack the guy (physically or verbally) when he's going home to his family then they need to re-evaluate their lives. Funny how the city fans are always in a...

We did 10 x 800m reps with 60 secs rest between each one, this week. Up there with the hardest track sessions I've done. That is a big amount of hard work, and that distance off only 60secs is incredibly tough to maintain. Great session. I need to get up to a Parkrun or something and see how...

It was in Foleshill actually. Probably less facilities than the Wheatsheaf...

I know very little about him really. I've got his book "Tao of Jeet Kun Do" and it's a beautiful book, and interesting to see how he picked what he thought were the best bits from various styles (such as Muay Thai, Western Boxing, Kali, Wing Chun, etc" My honest opinion is that whilst he was...

I'm not against cross-discipline fights as a rule... they are a bit more common in Asia, for example Muay Thai fighters against Chinese Kung Fu fighters, or the whole K1 series (although with slightly diluted rules to prevent the Thai guys destroying everyone in the clinch with knees and...

I think that to an extent, class would outshine brute strength and fitness in most cases. But it's a close run thing. Example I'd give is Pirlo (my fave player of all time) who several times made Gerrard look like a bumbling Sunday player. And Pirlo fairly strolled round most of the time...

Our session was 5 reps, with decreasing recovery between each rep. The recoveries between each rep were 2mins30, 2 mins, 1:30, 45secs... If you're very fit then getting through the first 3 reps and maintaining your pace should be fairly straightforward. But the final couple of reps are...

Sounds like you're a decent enough runner... Are you in a club? I'm at Godiva Harriers but short distance races like that are not a speciality of mine. I consider 3 hours a short race! But Godiva is the best training in the local area, and they concentrate on track/field/cross country, so they...

Mr Newport... I'll try and communicate to you why people don't seem to understand the comment on the Newport forum, without resorting to insults or any "top banter".... Someone on your forum mentioned your coaches going to Nuneaton (fair enough), and mentioned that putting that on our forum...

Had this at work a couple of weeks ago. I made a comment and the colleagues in my immediate vicinity (2 x plastic Man Utd fans, 2 x plastic Liverpool fans, 1 x decent Villa/Leamington fan) happened to disagree. One of the Utd fans basically told me my opinion was invalid because I support a 4th...

I'm a reasonable runner. Did a track session last night of 5 x 1km reps. Knocked out the reps between 3mins35 and 3mins45 which is a fairly tough pace to maintain. If you put those together, without the rest periods you get around 18mins (Although i could not do 18mins for a straight 5km run)...

Even the out of town places are poor though. Central Six is full of crap shops (who wants a discount furniture store and a Poundland so close to the city centre), and as for Gallagher, well that is possibly the worst collection of shops in the country...

My thoughts on some of the points raised here... I have a fairly new girlfriend who is not a native of Coventry (nor the UK for that matter), so have been looking at Coventry from the eyes of an outsider to some extent. Yes there are good points to it. Spon Street. The area around the...
