    Pictures of Cov in the past and Coventry Pubs

    Gutted that I never made it into the Codrington, Daz, it always looked like a brilliant pub from the outside but I just never made it into that part of town. The in-laws from Cheylesmore remember it with affection though, so your old man must've been getting something right. :)

    Mowbray's got a new job..

    Times must be hard at Chesterfield, at least we don't get our new managers to bring their own football to training. Probably.

    England Internationals Would Join Consortium Bid....

    I was there! In fairness Brody was a really nice chap to talk to, bit mad but quite good fun. Onye and Paul Clouting (the executive chap who'd been at Derby) were there too. Clouting, if that was his name, was very convincing and professional sounding and clearly had a plan to progress the...

    England Internationals Would Join Consortium Bid....

    In fairness you probably wouldn't mind having those two around for tea, if it's Micky Quinn though it's going to cost you a few bob in pies and beer...

    England Internationals Would Join Consortium Bid....

    I think it's this one Nick, OAKWOOD FINANCIAL ADVISERS LIMITED - Overview (free company information from Companies House), the one you linked to has been liquidated. With all due respect to Mr Jaspal, we've been here before and there are a few things about this story that make me nervous...

    red bull again

    Yep - I don't think there's any way that the FA/FL would allow us to change our name to "Red Bull Coventry" for example. Mind you, if RB spoke to SISU's solicitors they might say that they've got a chance if they take them on in the courts. ;)

    Mowbray's got a new job..

    Spot on. Thoroughly decent bloke, working under difficult conditions. Gave it his best shot, and when it didn't work out had the grace to leave without a fuss and at some personal financial cost to himself. I wish him nothing but success (except for this season if it turns out to be us or them).

    The Butts

    Ah, a stretched metaphor, you should perhaps warm up properly before you post. Still, makes a change from your usual straw man arguments I suppose. Basically then, you've got one bloke who gets paid by Wasps and it's easy enough to understand why he supports them. Fans like you supporting...

    Phone in

    Loads more people call when we're losing, or if Tim says something daft (redundancy alert), or we're in court etc. Maybe fewer callers is a good thing.

    The Butts

    You could be right LAST, though when I was up there earlier in the year and talking to the groundsman he was certainly still working for Masseys. In all honesty I wouldn't think it would suit CUFC's needs for their first team. I know that Masseys own team dropped out of the Midland...

    The Butts

    Indeed (if you're talking about HR, the Ricoh was techncially never ours to give up). Either way, it wasn't as stupid and immoral an idea as selling the Ricoh to a franchise - but hell as long as we've given SISU a bloody nose what does that matter, eh?

    The Butts

    Some people don't like football Rev, it's just a matter of opinion. At the top level Newcastle Falcons and I think Saracens have fully-synthetic 3G pitches I believe. Not ideal for rugby though; the Desso semi-sythentic ones like Wasps have laid are better for that... Additionally, we had a...

    The Butts

    I'm not sure about them buying Masseys in truth mate, the sports and social club have just invested in a new pavilion and other facilities up there. The deal to share with Cov RFC has been on the cards for a little while though - suits both teams I'd say.

    The Butts

    They've laid a semi-synthetic pitch, in fact which actually suits them better - don't kid yourself that our needs were front and centre when they did this. And give it time mate, they've only got the ground and the academy so far. Given they don't want to talk about a deal, and in any case...

    Best Coventry Central Midfielder?

    I saw him score at Wembley in the year that we signed him. Sublime passer of the ball, but I don't think he was entirely suited to English football. My vote goes for Lloyd McGrath, and always will. He was Sillett's first name on the teamsheet and that's good enough for me. :) (Gary...

    Snow nostalgia - who remembers this game?

    Bugger me - that's why I'm useless at cricket (despite really enjoying playing). I'm slightly colour blind. I always thought it was 'cos I have sod-all coordination and don't much like getting hit by the ball. ;)

    I always thought she was a bit too 'close' to her brother, but I didn't want to say anything. Sorry mate.
