    The October rumour

    Yep. Wimbledon played Palace at Selhurst Park as the home team. Pretty sure Charlton did too during their ground share.

    Match Thread Watford vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 27th Aug

    2005/06 since you asked! The point being made is that Watford are a small town club who are punching above their weight. Nothing wrong with that at all, but have some self awareness. Some of the bed-wetting on their forum is laughable. I've said it before, but when people say we're a fickle...

    The October rumour

    Not really. We were averaging over 20K in the 1st 3 seasons at the Ricoh, and getting over that on an irregular basis all the way up to relegation. We also averaged over 20K in our last 4 seasons in the PL. But yes, we wouldn't get close to that regularly this season if we returned, perhaps...

    What do people actually want?

    But what if, before the end of the season, there was progress on a new stadium and we got as far as a formal planning application? I doubt that will happen, but if it did that changes everything for me. I could put up with an extended exile with a clear plan. Without that, it will be a difficult...

    What do people actually want?

    How long did Bristol Rovers play in Bath for, was it 10 years? There is certainly precedent.

    She's also got family in Coventry. She visits the city often.

    Match Day routine / Pubs

    If you're going straight to the ground, highly recommend the Roost. Proper football pub. Gets very busy and good atmosphere.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Gillingham Match Thread - Saturday 24th Aug

    No sign of that at the moment. Ticket sales seem to be about the same as they were for the last game at this point. Might be a bigger walk-up tomorrow though. Tuesday's shenanigans and with it being a warm day and a bank holiday weekend might add a few.

    Watford - Pay on the gate?

    Yeah, thought that would sell quickly. Then again, they're still not on general sale. It is £24 and a crap away day which doesn't help.

    Looks like this will be the lowest league gate of the season by a distance, Gillingham have only sold 260.

    Pre Match Conference - Gillingham

    Yeah they all do. SE said the exact same thing about us yesterday. We learn nothing from these. Do questions get asked about injury doubts etc. but just don't get answered? Sounds also like he is hinting that he won't make any enforced changes tomorrow.

    Transfer Rumour Incoming - Callum O'Hare - Season Loan

    You're over analysing it. It's simply a quirk of geography. We don't have a natural rival, much like Leicester. I've not met a Forest or Derby fan who gives a toss about them. I have, however, met Leicester fans who hate us with a passion, but then others don't care that much; but it's the...

    Could be interesting in the pubs and train station today

    I mainly talking about the the first. When you're young and have a few beers inside you at the football, you can get a bit excitable and overstep the mark a little and react to situations a little too easily. Most of us have been there to a degree. When you get a bit older and mellow you look...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Gillingham Match Thread - Saturday 24th Aug

    It is going to be very warm on Saturday if the forecast is to be believed. I always worry when teams try to press us high as we witnessed last night, but I can't see that happening Saturday in those temperatures. I can see us having a lot of the ball. It should suit us, just hope we're not...

    ifollow 2019/20

    I'd like to think the club don't get penalised and lose their revenue share from the refunds issued. If that's the case, I'd rather not claim it back.

    Match Thread Portsmouth vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 20th Aug

    Well all said and done, we've drawn 3-3, with 9 men and having gifted them 2 goals and we had a goal disallowed. Great character and evidence, if it were needed, that we have what it takes to do well this season. Certainly plenty to work on, but fuck me, what a result that was.

    Ha, don't worry, inside I'm fuming and nearly launched the cat into orbit. It's frustrating, but trying to stay upbeat.

    Pretty predictable hysteria. Hasn't been much in this game in reality. Silly error for the 1st goal. They haven't exactly looked comfortable either, Hiwula should have done better with that chance. Long way to go in this game. We lose it, we regroup and learn from it. No need to panic.

    Cllr Jim O'Boyle about the council / land for stadium

    Yeah, that's probably the best option. Forget trying to gain multiple seats on the council and focus solely on that one seat and cause a bit of a fuss. Would need a good candidate with a lot of backing. Ultimately you're reliant on the electorate in one ward, but with a good campaign, even if...

    Cllr Jim O'Boyle about the council / land for stadium

    It is why it was very frustrating we voted against having an elected mayor. In that system you have an individual who is directly accountable to the electorate. People can stand against that individual on a level playing field, and in a direct election like that a candidate could win easy...
