    Coventry, City of Culture 2021

    Don’t know if you ever look at the site SkyscraperCity? There’s a thread dedicated to Coventry, annoyingly under the Birmingham construction heading. It gives a brilliant flavour of everything going on in Coventry. They even mention SBT from time to time. There’s so much going on, I just...

    Coventry, City of Culture 2021

    Historic Coventry have plans for a riverside walk all the way from the city centre to the Charterhouse. It’s part of an overall £30m spend they are planning across a number of Coventry’s historic sites.

    Coventry, City of Culture 2021

    Spot on and the city centre is about to get sorted anyway. Now we just need the Sky Blues to get a couple of promotions before 2021 and all will be good!

    Dennis Wise

    Going to be on I’m a Celebrity apparently. Interesting to see if any Cov related stories come out. Easily the best player we’ve seen since our relegation from the premier.

    City of Culture Bid

    I'm afraid it's nailed on for Stoke to win it. Unfortunately the pervading mood of Coventry residents that 'nothing good ever happens to Cov' will continue. Until Coventry people have faith in their own City and want to promote it rather than run it down, then why should outsiders have faith...

    Or asking for a judicial review!

    Crowd be interesting next week.

    Personally I stopped going on a regular basis because it ceased to be enjoyable and because of my own budget constraints. I've never supported NOPM as I don't believe it will achieve anything other than the ultimate demise of the club. I genuinely believe that if SISU somehow manage to get us...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    This may be a somewhat simplistic analogy, however who in their right mind would offer to buy someone's property and at the same time settle their mortgage! On that basis, £5 million for the CCFC assets (squad + Ryton + brand) and no offer to take on the debt, feels about right to me. Lower...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Ah, that makes sense. Hull are being franchised and being moved to the Ricoh! Change the seat colours and the job's a good un!!

    Wealdstone Fc

    Our mini bus with 16 of us went there yesterday. Arrived just before 11, had a couple of pints and a hot dog and walked about half a mile to take a tube from Ruislip station. A very easy tube journey each way with practically no waiting time and then a couple of pints after the match before...

    Wembley Omens

    In 1987 John Sillett said that our name was on the cup and famously made the coach driver go on a detour to find a second Magpie. Brian Kilcline then took a Sky Blue garter from the leg of a newly married Bride at the team's hotel in Marlowe. Has anyone got any omens of their own for this...

    Academy ground share

    Dear Parent I am delighted to confirm that Finham Park Multi Academy Trust has engaged in discussion with Coventry City FC about the possible relocation of part of their successful Academy facility to our site at Finham Park School on Green Lane. I must emphasise that discussions are at a very...

    Academy ground share

    Knowing the Head at Finham (my 3 kids go there), he will be asking for a school building or 2 out of the deal! A lot of works needs to be done to make it fit for purpose, with the access to the site, parking, gym facilities, pitch quality etc etc being key considerations and needing...

    online already struggling

    I think the club have been quite smart with this. I honestly believe that all of the 'genuine' fan base will get a ticket via redistribution from season ticket holders. I also can't see a black market developing, so mostly it will be done at face value. Those who think that they can make a...

    One crumb of comfort. Our next opponents are nearly as bad!!
