    Match Thread Oxford United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 31st Aug

    Don't fancy us tomorrow at all. Oxford are a better side than their start suggests. Would take a draw now, and I rarely say that in this league.

    TV Game

    Fuck sake. Match day ruined. Loads of kids play junior football on a Sunday morning so I can see the crowd being a shocker. Sunday midday is possibly the worst time for a match to kick-off.

    The October rumour

    I don't think that's the prevailing view at all. I think there are quite a few who are prepared to accept an exile of one season if it means we return on our own terms, rather than cave in to the unrealistic demands that are being made to return immediately. Ultimately though, it cannot be a...

    Kit Sales

    That's clearly made up. Huddersfield ahead of Spurs? Behave. Bolton appear on the list but don't even have a shirt to sell do they?

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

    I can't work out if we were naive or brave last night. Most lower league clubs would have set up with two lines of four and would have sat deep. We didn't, and tried to play, and I quite like that we did that. We got found out because we came up against better players ultimately, but we have...

    Oxford sold out!

    Club announced sold out a few hours ago. You do sometimes get the odd ticket emerge as tickets that were stuck in people's baskets become available again, but definitely none now.

    Season Ticket Offer

    Think they'll get a better return than that. ST sales have been suspended for a few weeks now, and they'll be a few that have attended a game or two this season who'll be tempted. Mate of mine is getting one. Suspect it'll be more than a handful who take up the offer.

    Homophobic chanting

    You know I was talking about the definition of the word and what it actually means. If you think that word has broader connotations, fine, but I think it devalues the word personally. I say this as someone who has several family members who are gay including my daughter. I know what real...

    Favourite football ground that no longer exists (excluding HR)

    Yeah, I'm a fan from the images I've seen. Some new grounds I don't mind, but this is pretty much exclusively down to the location. Rotherham is in a great location. The Emirates was built a short distance from Highbury, and even Leicester, despite the ground itself being bland and...

    Favourite football ground that no longer exists (excluding HR)

    Can anyone name a club where they prefer the new ground over the old one? I genuinely can't think of one.

    Homophobic chanting

    But that's just your opinion, it isn't fact. I thought the chanting was silly, immature and not welcome. Did it display a fear of homosexuality? That's a bit of a stretch. I think it is self-evident that people did not appreciate it and on the back of that, I think it is very unlikely we'll...

    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.
