    Burge - 6 Not a huge amount to do but didn't make any major errors Brown - 6 Seems wildly inconsistent. He made some good last ditch tackles/blocks today but often these came about as he was out of position or behind play. Willis - 8 Did make a few glaring errors in the opposition's penalty area...

    New 3rd Kit

    I can't see the present owners plumping for the civic colours any time soon! Personally i'd like a reboot of the old purple and yellow monstrosities we've had in the past.

    Video Bradford v Coventry

    The first booking for 'simulation' looks a bit weird, the guy just throws himself into a gambol and gets back up!

    U23 v Colchester

    He hit an absolute piledriver into one of the Wycombe defenders at the weekend, I was surprised not to hear splintering bones as it cannoned away.

    I feel she probably has the greater justification!

    Match Day Thread - Sky Blue Sports & Leisure Limited and Others -v- Coventry City Council and Others

    I can see why Wasps would refuse to have us there but i think there are two other ways they could look at it (hopefully). CCFC brings income and there is no other viable tenant in the area. Turfing us out would likely have no bearing on a SISU decision to continue legals or not. If they were...

    This is pretty much exactly how i felt/feel. I've never liked them since that tie!

    Not so much a great story but i have a vivid recollection of staying up to 'watch' on Ceefax the penalty shootout we had with Sheffield United (FA Cup 97/98 i think it was).

    If they do then id have serious doubts about us playing at the Ricoh next season.

    Match Day Thread - Sky Blue Sports & Leisure Limited and Others -v- Coventry City Council and Others

    I wonder what the 'consequential submissions' under consideration are. Would SISU be likely to have lodged a request to appeal in advance? It also says 'parties' suggesting it may be both sides making submissions.

    Fisher again

    He was alright but another one of those players that seemed better against us than for us (not as extreme as Michael McIndoe though). The name comes from something i overheard on the old West Terrace that just stuck with me, there wasn't much razzle and dazzle going on with him that day!

    Fisher again

    There's plenty of hot air left in old Fishface yet I reckon. The 'Plan A' statement could just be a way of setting up the excuse that they wanted to stay there all along but the nasty landlords won't let them. It reminds me of his statement that the ground share at The Butts was 'on in terms of...

    Bayliss - One to Watch

    I really hope we can hang onto him for another season or so, that's dependent on achieving promotion if he continues to develop though I suspect. I thought the stat of 44 academy debuts over the decade was impressive, we could have a pretty decent (if rather unbalanced) graduate 11 right now...

    CCFC - An alternative history

    I haven't played since about Monday night now as i got in a bit of a hissy-fit following several heavy defeats. For whatever reason i can't get them to keep the goals out despite playing the same formation we got to 9th with. S**t game anyway.....i'll start again this evening most likely.....

    CCFC - An alternative history

    I imagine the attraction of a big new development in a run-down/brownfield area of the city probably meant expanding a stadium in a residential area would be less likely. My extensive research in CM97/98 has undoubtedly proven that we would regularly fill the expanded HR though!

    CCFC - An alternative history

    I finished 9th in the first season and Dublin was probably key to that (probably thanks to a small boost i gave him in the editor). I did edit Boateng too but he's still not performing as well as i think he did irl. McAllister did ok but i sold him to Wilmledon at the end of the season, Dublin...

    CCFC - An alternative history

    I decided to fire up Championship Manager 97/98 the other day and start a new game with City. Having finished 9th (Dion Dublin banging them in, Oggy and Magnus keeping them out....mostly) the board decided to expand HR to about 30,000 seats. This got me thinking about how 'realistic' that would...

    Highfield Road Or The Ricoh ?

    I remember one called Lets All Sing Togther that was good. They had a Hall of Fame/Shame area and a link to match reports via something called the 'pornolizer' that were always pretty entertaining.

    Highfield Road Or The Ricoh ?

    We might just find ourselves at Nuneaton next season if the JR keeps rumbling on!
