Our figures are down quite a bit on the previous season in League 2. About 40 iirc.

It's for the whole of English football. I'm not sure how much you can read into this though. For those interested: Stoke 80 Leeds 49 Aston Villa 42 Sheffield United 41 Manchester City 39 Manchester United 36 Sunderland 34 Tottenham 34 Chelsea 30 Newcastle 30 Bristol City 28 Derby 28 Arsenal...

I always find it galling just how many games you can afford to lose in a 46 (44) game season in order to achieve automatic promotion. The idea that we can go a whole season and lose only 6/7 times seems so unlikely. That's just the cynic in me because we've never experienced anything like...

This is a man who once walked from Tamworth to Highfield Road to get to a game. Proper commitment that! Look forward to you coming over pal.

Under Sillett we finished 10th, 10th, 7th and 12th in the top flight, won the FA Cup and reached two other cup semi-finals. He was a terrific manager.

Bristol Rovers are, correct me if I'm wrong, from Bristol. Yet, when they were exiled to another town for NINE seasons, there were none of the pendantics from what I recall, just a recognition there was nowhere to play in Bristol. They stuck with the club until they were able to return. So...

It was an accident tbf. Got stuck behind it. May have cleared now though.

M6 is a joke. 90 minutes to get from Ash Green to ground. We're literally the only people here.

That's one option, the other being the overpriced piss they'll serve in the hotel bar. Hopefully the developers who have bought the old Rowleys Green Social Club site will now proceed with the plans for a pub rather than the fast food restaurant. They have permission for either, but the...

Not sure this is in the right place Nick, so please feel free to move it. I notice that a planning application has been submitted to CCC for a new hotel at the Ricoh. It is not on car park C though, it is on Judds Lane opposite car park A. Can't say for sure, but don't think this has anything...

Productive day at work this. U23s on the PC and cricket on the laptop. Practically a day off. Bapaga looks a talent.

I reckon this will sell out quicker than most away games. The last time we played them it was New Years Day and the following was only 1300 or so, but it was only 3 days before the FA Cup tie at Barnsley where we took a very good following. Judging by all the requests I am getting from...

The club are losing money on the coaches and are having to subsidise EST to run them.

He is doing very well, you can't argue with that. His goal yesterday was unreal. We saw flashes of it, but it didn't quite work here. Sometimes a player moves to a new club and they're just the perfect fit. That's happened for him and he has cult hero status down there now, so good luck to him.

Sorry, but it is. Some people seem to exist in this weird virtual world. I like to think I know a lot of city fans, friends, family, colleagues, and not one has ever called for Robins to be sacked. Have you ever heard a 'Robins out' chant at a game? I haven't. Not once. He gets his name sung...

That's absolute bullshit to be fair.

The average league gate so far this season is 6442, so not the 5K people keep referring to. This is before we've played many of the bigger sides who'll bring large followings. We might feasibly get 11-12K when we play Sunderland. But there will be the odd 4K gate for midweek games. We might...

Blackpool and their mulleted 'game mob' turning up when Cov are playing in Birmingham, where almost everyone in attendance is wearing specs and a replica shirt, is one of the most tragic things I've ever seen at the football. So now, when we take 3K for the return fixture, loads of lads who...

I read that thread earlier (they usually have a Coventry thread once a week that is good for a laugh) but actually there are a few being quite complimentary.

That's funny, on my last two trips to Blackpool there were no home fans, I'm mean, literally none. Ah, but poor you, lapped up the sympathy from the 'football family' then didn't we. Absolutely no class whatsoever. Then wade into ordinary fans walking from the ground trying to earn wanker points...
