    Match Thread Coventry City v Bristol Rovers - Tuesday 14th January 2020

    I thought we should've made changes in the initial game and it appears keeping the unchanged team has started to show. So I'll go with bringing in Mason, Pask, Allen and O'Hare. McCallum, Shipley and Westbrooke to drop to the bench and one of the CB's. Eccles on the bench for one of Walsh or...

    Where will we finish (new)

    Does that still apply if we went up though - basing a Championship campaign on this season's turnover? I assume you're allowed to make allowances for the extra PL payout etc.

    Standing up at away games

    On the whole I find the atmosphere more lively standing, but it does need self control. Although this thread is about away games specifically on the whole safe standing would help as you can have designated standing areas whereby if you stand in a designated seating area you will be asked to...

    Standing up at away games

    So it worked out pretty well for you! Anyway, as long as you can hear a music gig like that no-one should care. Not like Lewis Capaldi is renowned for costume changes and choreographed dance routines!

    Working to Become Financially Independent

    But with these current scandals (well one proper scandal the other is more hypocrisy of the uber-privileged) and the Queen not getting younger it could well be a different story soon. Phillip has been in poorer health the last few years and if something happens to him, given the Queens age and...

    Working to Become Financially Independent

    Maybe not, but the question needs to be asked why do so many people with that kind of mindset get drawn towards that publication? The presentation of the articles/columnists etc must appeal to them in some way. Got an auntie who gets the Mail and is predominantly left wing (quite active in TU...

    General Election 2019 thread

    I find the big problem with grammar is the perception of them being 'better' than those that go to other types of schools. It should be about making the most of an individuals abilities, whether they be academic, vocational, artistic etc not 'I'm better than you'. Part of this is that those...

    General Election 2019 thread

    Could you not suggest people retaining 3 set days a week (ie Mon-Wed and Thu-Sat) with each set doing the extra day every other week? Not ideal I know as it would effectively be two lost days for each employee but having that solid foundation of knowing which days you'd work would probably be...

    Tatics at home

    Going back to the OP, on the whole the tactics are fine. The biggest problem we have is going ahead and becoming a bit more protectionist on our lead rather than continuing to do what got us the lead in the first place. On too many occasions MR has been slow to react to changes in the way the...

    Player ratings

    I think it's because they're the two that seem to tire the most, possibly due to the amount of ground they cover. With O'Hare and Allen available it is something we can afford to do without too much disruption, but this time MR decided to go to the two up top and bring on Biamou instead. Whether...

    Coventry City of Culture 2021

    CL hasn't swapped places with the SkyDome at all - it's going for a very different market. It's about way more than having a night out.

    Coventry City of Culture 2021

    You do realise culture goes way beyond a football team don't you? Would you have expected Hull to be stripped of it because the owner wanted to change the name to Hull Tigers? Or if a local theatre shut down?

    General Election 2019 thread

    Although I on the whole agree with this, it's more that you know what is going to happen is it will be brought back into public control for a bit while it's sorted out, public money spent on getting it in order and then it will inevitably be tendered out again for the process to repeat...

    Zain Westbrooke in demand

    If he does I want to be standing directly in front of Westbrooke when Baka starts firing. Only surefire place to be safe.

    I created a more simplified version of a forward facing elephant badge a few years back (just after that monstrosity of a new badge was revealed). Just felt it was more dynamic and 'in your face', and also more symmetrical. Obviously nowhere near as good as this flag as I'm no graphic designer...

    Very Cool Scandinavian Supporters Flag/Badge

    If you check the hat of the effigy of the Bishop in Cov Cathedral ruins there are swastikas on his hat. I think it's an old Hindu symbol meaning good fortune/luck or something.

    I also heard it's translated as 'meeting of two rivers' - probably the Sherbourne (called the Cune in Saxon times) and Sowe, or as Settlement/farm near the Cune

    4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it)

    Anyone else seen the story that they sold the ground to the owner and they're now renting it back at £1.25m a season? Might affect our situation (or at least cost) if we should need to stay for longer.

    I wonder if it's a link to Cofa - the Anglo-Saxon who supposedly ruled the area - and where the City may get it's name from - Cofa's Tree.
