    Matchday Ticket Prices

    H I had to look up straw man as I had no idea what it meant so I have learnt something from this conversation. You said ‘We're not as most of us don't go to away games. Therefore the price of away tickets doesn't affect the majority of us. Also the majority of us have season tickets so we are...

    Matchday Ticket Prices

    Would you not agree that the idea of, ‘I’m not bothered about match day prices or what an away fan pays as it doesn’t affect me’ is a bit selfish? For those who can’t afford a season ticket, and there will be many in this city who can’t, is it okay to say that if they want to go to an occasional...

    You’ve just said that the £45 ticket is more than you would be prepared to pay

    Matchday Ticket Prices

    The point being made was that £45 ticket prices were needed to fund a push to the PL. In reality the difference made in profit between £45 tickets and £35 tickets won’t make that much difference to funds but it will put some people off coming to the games. The fact we’ve had only one sold out...

    Matchday Ticket Prices

    I would doubt that our chances of getting to the PL rest on the increased income gained from £45 seats over £35 seats. Have we had a sell out away section yet this season? I cant think of one. Could be a false economy charging more per ticket but ultimately selling less.

    Ex Player Watch

    If he’d been good enough he wouldn’t have been dropped. He had plenty of chances to stake a claim and he either didn’t or couldn’t take them. His subsequent career shows that Robins was right

    Irish Sky Blues?

    I was born in Coventry with Irish parents so I aleays class myself as Coventry Irish. However in every other way I would class myself as Irish. If your heart is green then there is nothing you can do about it.💚☘️

    National league crowds

    I think this might be the game. It was 1966.

    National league crowds

    I think your year might be a little bit out there. That game maybe 1965? I’ve seen some footage from that Match of the Day program and it’s really odd as I think they filmed the game from behind one of the goals?

    What moment still haunts you?

    I was also listening to that game. We lead twice and Bowles scored their winner in the last minute.

    Wrexham Away

    First time I’ve missed out on the first window. I’ve 1930 points. Do we think there will be tickets left at 12:00?

    I had put £10 on us to win 2-0 away at Luton that season. With minutes left and with that the score I could feel the £180 quid winnings in my sticky grasp. Then Duckens Nazon has to pop up and spoil things with a deflected City third. It’s the only time where I haven’t celebrated us scoring...

    There was a lot to love about the League Two season. After several seasons where winning was a rare event, we started to beat teams again. There were memorable away performances at Grimsby,Swindon, Luton,Lincoln, Carlisle and Cheltenham. We had those great FACup performances against Stoke...

    Sheffield Wednesday "on the pitch"

    He is obviously a bad owner. However, the things he has done I don’t think in anyway rival what Sisu did to us.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 27th Sep

    If it doesn’t sell out, it’s hopefully a message to Doug King that £45 for a second division game is too much ( plus the exorbitant children’s prices)

    Championship thread 25/26!

    I’m not sure it did. We were beating Ipswich 1-0 away in the 70s when the floodlights failed. The match was replayed and we lost. A couple of years earlier than that we were 2-0 down to Sheffield Utd well into the second half. The game was abandoned due to a water logged pitch. The match was...

    Timewasting

    Being a curmudgeonly old git, I’d also introduce a rule whereby 30 seconds after a goal is scored the conceding team are able to kick off irrespective of where the goalscoring team‘s players are. If they want to continue their synchronised dance celebration around the corner flag, fine but 30...

    Near sell outs most weeks

    Out of all the clubs who have had poor/ corrupt owners in the English leagues I can only think of Brighton that have possibly had it worse than us.
