    Can't really describe it as anything but a shambles. Had the perfect position to get ourselves 1-0 up and blew it with some very ordinary batting. They never seem to learn, just throwing wickets away. Nobody is saying we should have over after over of just blocking the ball but just pull back...

    Match Thread Coventry City v WBA Sat 22nd November 25 12.30 KO

    Lovely day for it. Walk up will be zero (can you still buy tickets on the day?). Nobody is looking out the window and making a last minute decision to go for a nice afternoon out.

    if the right player(s) are available hed be crazy not to. Not saying go mad but we’re not going to get a better chance than this. mess it up and there’s probably a decent chance that key players will be picked off over the summer. These days we don’t just have to worry about other EFL clubs...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It’s like the Palestine ‘deal’. Totally one sided. Give Putin everything he wants and pay the US for the privilege How on earth can Zelensky give guarantees of who will or won’t be in NATO in the future

    But we've been here before when we had thousands of empty seats week in week out. We'd always get 'why don't they make it a tenner and fill the ground' but then when they did cheap games the increase in attendance didn't offset the decreased prices. Now it may be that if the tickets were...

    I pay £100 a year for an NHL ice hockey subscription. For that I can watch every single game live or on demand switching between the home and away broadcasts. For football involving PL teams I need Sky, TNT, Premier Sports (for some preseason and random tournaments), Amazon (have they got...

    BT was purchased by Warner Discovery who also owned Eurosport hence that disappearing and the programming being rolled into TNT which is an American channel name they decided we needed here. They don't seem to have rights to much. The 12:30 Saturday Premier League games can't be that popular...

    There's been a couple of cycling fanboys who have spent the last few weeks responding to any tweet concerned about TNTs plans for coverage saying the cycling chap was fantastic and people were worrying about nothing. They've gone very quiet this morning. Annoyingly it seems that the much...

    On a serious note related to their plans obviously it's going to be easier for a huge stadium in Brum to attract concerts than it is for us. Given that we've got years to get things done before their ground gets built, if it ever does, has he spoken to anyone like AEG or LiveNation about a...

    What's the old saying? Don't judge until both teams have batted. Was more like a T20 than the opening day of the Ashes. Is anyone going to dig in and bat properly in the 2nd innings? Everything about it was woeful. Getting players names wrong, not knowing fielding positions, the 'facts' they...

    Suspect that as there's now regularly a shortage of tickets people have got into the habit of getting them earlier. Also not sure you can label any game not 100% sold out a failure. Is Kings priority to fill every single seat or to maximise revenue? Ideally both I suspect but there's no...

    How times have changed. If you’d have said to people a few years back that having a few hundred empty seats would be viewed as a failure people would have said you were crazy

    Seems to be an assumption these days that everyone is off between Christmas and new year. Last year I had to take an afternoon off when Blaze had a game scheduled on a non-bank holiday afternoon between Christmas and new year and I'll have to do the same for Ipswich. Getting there for a 7:45pm...
