    Gordon Milne

    The Norwich game was amazing. However I think there was a n even better game, my all time favourite, earlier in the season. We were playing Man City at HR, a night game in October. They came into the game unbeaten and as league leaders. We were hanging on a bit in the first half and went in 2- 1...

    Gordon Milne

    Loved watching Gordon Milnes team's Exciting. Attacking Football with lots of goals. He deserves legend status for lots of reasons. However, the fact that he brought Tommy Hutchison to our club would put him beyond criticism in my eyes.

    Career ending injury while with city

    Healy was a good player for us as was Safri. I think that was also Garry Mcallisters last game before he left to look after his wife.

    Career ending injury while with city

    Graham Oakey is one of my favourite players. He played in what I think was the best City team ever, the Fergie-Wallace team of the late seventies. Although a fullback he was a great attacking threat and would take on and beat the opposing fullbacks with mazy dribbling skills. I remember a 1-0...

    Ernie Hannigan RIP

    Ian Gibson for John O'Rourke. This was a game against Chelsea couple of seasons before O'Rourke joined. Sad news about Ernie Hannigan. Names from my boyhood.

    Mowbray confirmed via club twitter

    It took JH 2 years to get us out of this division in the 60s. If TM does the same I'd be happy. Happier still if he did it in one mind!

    mowbray talks

    If they get it done and dusted then this could be the first season with a realistic prospect of a promotion challenge. Season after relegation there was a transfer embargo for most of the summer, Sisu not filing accounts. Then after spending the transfer budget Andy Thorne was sacked three games...

    One single significant event that shaped our season .......

    Forcing Baker out of the club was madness.He was easily the man of the match when Milton Keynes came here.How many goals would he have scored for us and how many assists would he have provided if he had been allowed to stay? I doubt we would still be in trouble. The sale of the stadium to Wasps...

    new kit details

    The kit I will always dislike is the home kit for the last two seasons as it will forever be in my mind the "Northampton kit." My favourite kit was the tramlines kit maybe because of the players we had wearing it.

    Next Season - General Changes

    I think the worst thing is seeing huge swathes of empty sky blue seats ( would be much worse if they were yellow and black however). It would be great to have City fans behind both goals. This would require closing off the upper parts of all stands except main stand where boxes etc are located...

    Tony Mowbray

    I like the way he doesn't chop and change the team. Once a player is in the team it seems that they will keep their place until injured. He has made the odd change, Reda for Martin for instance. However the nucleus of the team remains the same. To my mind a much better policy as the players are...

    When will Sisu go?

    I know the Trust have contingency plans ready for Sisu simply walking away which would keep the club afloat. I think a fan led club would guarantee that the Northampton fiasco could never happen again. Would a fan owned model have the money to see us moving up the league again, who knows? While...

    When will Sisu go?

    Are you making a distinction between Sisu as a whole making money and the club still making a loss? If this is true then surely they would still want to get rid of a part of their business (ccfc) that is losing money?

    When will Sisu go?

    My post should have said that I am not an accountant, now edited, sorry. To be honest, most of the financial stuff is beyond me. There seems to be differing perceptions of whether they are losing money or not. There biggest income must be season tickets.Match day revenue can't be great. As of...

    When will Sisu go?

    I'm not an accountant so maybe I'm missing something. If money out is greater than money in (which is surely the case with Coventry City) then they are losing money on this particular "investment". With years of failure behind them and no turn around in sight, why not cut their losses and go?

    When will Sisu go?

    A few weeks ago, before the departure of SP, it seemed that very few people would be renewing their season tickets. If We stay up, if Mowbray stays,if they put some money in so that he can make decent signings, then that situation may be reversed. If these factors don't come together then gates...
