    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Portsmouth Match Thread - Tuesday 11th Feb

    Just got home from the game having found the dirtiest Kharai House I could find on the Coventry Rd, to grind a 1-0 out on a freezing Tuesday February evening against one of the strongest and in form sides in the league (behind us I would like to add) has to bode well for the remainder of the...

    After around 12 HR visits this was the first time I saw us win. Stood on a crate by the scoreboard. Great times! Never saw any footage of the game though.

    IKEA Closing in Coventry

    I work in various student lodgings in the city centre as an electrician and sometimes work late and go for a meal in town, the only place I see them is in Noodle Bar. When I venture into town at weekends for food or drink especially Cathedral Lanes there is not a student in sight. Same as Cov...

    IKEA Closing in Coventry

    The statement says they are proposing to shut the store, does that mean there trying for negotiations, I for one hope so as it is a valuable asset for the city.

    IKEA Closing in Coventry

    Be interesting how much they paid in business rates per annum compared to an out of town store like Wednesbury or Nottingham as well as these new student blocks popping up over the city!

    Stadium

    The old old White Hart Lane was also a great traditional stadium and definitely agree about Goodison such a shame to see that go.

    Stadium

    Another 2 stadiums which would suit us imo and have capacities of around 23000, The Swedbank Stadion home of FC Malmö and Children's Mercy Park home of Kansas City. Both teams colours are Sky Blue and both have a single tiered low level stand behind one goal for standing.

    Stadium

    We'll have to wait and see, who knows what there end game is. They could pump in millions to get us to the premier League we don't know. Being as secretive as they are the could do anything that's the hope I'm holding out for otherwise it's too depressing to think we'll just go straight back...

    Stadium

    I remember Italia 90 thinking what a great stadium the Genoa on is, I'm a bit of a stadium geek myself and will check out the ones mentioned. Another 4 sided stadium I like is FC Mainz, it has glass corners with one over looking the City Centre!

    Stadium

    Yes the Luigi Ferraris in Genoa is really iconic, I still think 23000 would be ample but with room to expand. Like you said it's a pipe dream really but we can always dream!

    Stadium

    Alvis Retail Park ofor bottom Hearsall Common near Village hotel for location,a stadium similar to Preston North Ends Deepdale in design with 4 seperate stands and a 23000 capacity, can't see a new stadium ever happening though as the council won't want a Ricoh White Elephant.
