    Butts Groundshare Update

    The fact that they have disappeared off the radar was one of the best bits of news from last season. That they are gone has been a real bonus in the way we have been able to make the arena our own, having the main changing room back, the food and drink outlets and CCFC branding around the stadium.

    Luton away ticket

    I was about to post the same. This season was my first time at Elland Road and I was surprised at how antiquated the away stand was. It took an age to actually get out at the end. In an emergency there is no way you would use those exits.The ‘tunnel’ from the car park to the away turnstiles was...

    Hadji Wright's Winner at Wolves

    I have watched City since 1967, so for 57 years. In all that time I have never seen a City team come back from 3 nil down. The comeback therefore was incredible enough but to score that goal in the last minute of extra time in an FA Cuo semi final at Wembley against Man Utd was just something...

    Callum O'Hare

    Was there bitterness towards him on Saturday? Must admit I didn’t see or hear anything and he seemed to be getting a great ( and well deserved) reception.

    Home attendances

    I remember going to the League Cup tie at Norwich a few years ago, the 6-1 defeat, and thinking how different the atmosphere was both inside and outside their ground compared to ours. Carrow Road was busy and vibrant whereas the Ricoh was like a graveyard. Match day at the CBS is now an...

    Superb in that game away at Rotherham

    Ipswich fans planning to be in the South Stand

    Thanks mate. I still read most things on here (but not the match thread if we lose!). I still make the odd comment here and there.

    Ipswich fans planning to be in the South Stand

    Robins certainly didn’t seem to see this game as a friendly or a match that didn’t matter. He specifically said yesterday that there is no way he wanted to see another team celebrating promotion in our back yard. I think he has the right attitude. I want us to go out on a high by winning our...

    Recruitment has been shocking

    I don’t think we were playing badly. We were inconsistent, also having some bad luck (refereeing decisions v PNE and WBA for example), but also playing well sporadically. The game we lost at Bristol was an excellent first half performance and was cited by Viveash in his recent interview as...

    I think he did.

    Larry Lloyd R.I.P.

    I think you’re right, but not really for us. For whatever reason I don’t think he was at his best in a sky blue shirt.

    My favourite goal

    From the man himself! “By the time we went to Highbury in my fourth game for the club, I had already scored my first Coventry goal, a 25-yarder in a 3-1 win against West Ham. I didn’t think I would score a better goal that season. I was wrong! We were already winning 1-0 against Arsenal and...

    FA Cup Semi Final Draw

    Apologies if this has been mentioned. I’ve just seen a fact about Man Utd stated in the magazine When Saturday Comes. Apparently the Utd squad at a cost of £1.21 billion are the most expensive group assembled in football ever anywhere in the world. (From a UEFA report). Amazing that I think (and...

    Match Thread Watford FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Mar

    Just to say again that this was a boy of about 11. However, just because ‘he was giving Cov fans some’ he then becomes fair game? Once again, this is an 11 year old boy. Who are the adults here and who the children? I watched most of the shoot out and all I seen of him was that he was becoming...

    Match Thread Watford FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Mar

    I think the fact that a lot of our fans were singing it is part of the problem. We’re talking about an 11 year old boy here who has a thousand plus adults jeering him after he mis-kicked a penalty in a half time shoot out. Do you think the boy himself found it light hearted? I wonder if you have...

    Match Thread Watford FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Mar

    I didn’t think it was class. Great the cheering and applause for the team in red. However, what you are talking about are grown men and women jeering and making fun of a primary school kid because he was upset about missing a penalty. Was there really a need to chant ‘You’re gonna cry in a...

    Missing piece of the jigsaw

    I loved watching Graham Oakey play. Such a skilful full back. It was like having an extra winger in the team. Oakey my favourite ever right back and Bobby Mac my favourite left back. We had such an attacking team. It was pure joy watching them play.

    Missing piece of the jigsaw

    Tommy was a naturally fit bloke, very rarely injured. He fact that he was still playing professionally at the age of 46 is testament to that.

    Missing piece of the jigsaw

    Gillespie scored a goal for us against Arsenal where he broke free of their defence on the half way line, carried the ball into their box, rounded the keeper( Seaman?, Phil Parkes?) and slotted the ball into the net. A very skilful, ball playing centre half. For all of that, if you could only...
