    WC of CCFC Kits (Group H)

    Every one of those kits is flawed and wouldn’t get out of other groups here. The LeCoq kit was awful material (with see thru meshy bits at the side and the big circle on the back that made it look like someone bending over to tie up their shoelaces if you didn’t pay extra for a number). The...

    Games/Goals Quiz

    Excellent thread. Cheers @Alkhen Next week can we have one for players we sold on (still can’t get my head around the fact that Dublin played more games and scored more goals for Vile than for us)? I can’t believe that #3 played so few, scored so little for his previous club: I was under the...

    Players who we signed but never played in the First Team (or played just one game). Go !

    That 45 mins at Watford still makes me shudder. Che Bunce?

    Blog The One Goal Club: Conor Thomas

    Martin singleton - scored the only goal vs Everton on his debut. Pretty certain it turned out to be his only goal.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Eiran Cashin Not in the know at all but hearing persistently that someone’s heard from someone that Bobby Thomas may be off. Anyway, Eiran Cashin; remember his name being mentioned when we were looking at lots of Derby youth. Seemingly available on season long loan from Brighton after a...

    Players names you regret having on the back of your Coventry shirt

    Scored against England u19s last night. Presumably an offspring.

    WC of Coventry City Kits (Group C)

    In the early years of sponsorship (Liverpool hitachi etc) clubs had to wear shirts without the sponsor name for Tv games. The big T design in our kit (which we made ourselves after leaving Admiral) was just incorporating the Talbot logo into the kit. The TV companies saw right through it and...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    He had a pretty unhappy loan there before us. Frozen out by Alex Neill and publicly slated for not being able to cope with long balls over his head. Pretty poor management of a teenager in my book but it may have left scars on both sides.

    Our famous superfan

    Grew up a Man Utd fan but came to a few Cov games with his manager and decided he was a skyBlue. I quite like the fact that someone came to see us and was swept up in the atmosphere. Has consistently stuck to this story ever since it was first aired in 2018-19. I don’t see what the problem...

    Championship Fixtures

    Saw one of those “leaked lists” yesterday. It had us at home to Bham on the Friday night. Still can’t work out if that would be a dream or a nightmare start

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    The only incorrect thing I said was that Bassette hadn’t been picked for the Belgian U21s since. He has played twice since and even started and scored in their March game vs Andorra. Apologies for my sloppy error. For the details of his full international debut though I was right. He was...

    End of season award party?

    Towards the end of July. Hopefully just after the second leg of the Anglo-Scottish Cup Winners Cup of 1987-8 vs St Mirren. https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2025/april/14/news--24-25-awards-to-be-held-later-in-summer/

    End of season award party?

    Crazily they postponed it until the late summer - giving all the winners the chance to be employed by a different club by the time it takes place.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    It’s possible he knows it but - somewhat like the apparent advice about applying yourself fully in training* - he might think it doesn’t apply to him. * I have no evidence for this assertion. Just thought I’d join the game.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    To call someone who was elevated from the u21 squad as they had an important qualifier that clashes with the full international game, and then played as a last minute substitute in a defeat vs Isreal - and who never touched the ball, and has not been near a full or u21 squad since, a Belgian...

    Item 25/26 Coventry Kit

    Platense are the Champions of Argentina for the first time in their history. Their club colours are white and brown. Their second kit always seems to be brown. Manufactured by Hummel for quite a few years now. https://www.footballkitarchive.com/ca-platense-2024-away-kit/222583/
