    Match Thread Coventry City - Preston North End FC Match Thread - Friday 23rd Feb

    With Torp, Sheaf and Allen out injured, it really is time for Eccles to step up and prove he is a top quality Championship CM. A lot of this forum seems to think he is. He’s a solid option defensively and in possession but he’s conservative. Sheaf and Torp are a level above him.

    100% agree with you. One of the main barriers to LGBT representation in the men’s game is probably a lack of community / role models in the game. That’s from the outside looking in and some of the testimonials shared on this forum seem to confirm that. Things will change in the future and I’m...

    New Northen National Stadium

    We have also built the Etihad and the Olympic stadium in the last 25 years. There really isn’t a need to build another national stadium.

    Proud Sky Blues

    It’s a whacky thing to say - specifically the charge of cowardice. That said, could you imagine coming out if you had bosses/colleagues who didn’t share liberal attitudes to homosexuality?

    That’s an assumption that I don’t think is correct. After all, the % of LGBT athletes in women’s sports (basketball, football, rugby and so on) is disproportionately higher than society of 10-17%. The opposite trend is quite likely to be true in men’s sport. I can’t think of any leagues or...

    Proud Sky Blues

    It’s a different culture in men and woman’s football. A couple of quick points: - a lot more abuse from fans in men’s sport - LGBT representation is disproportionately higher in women’s sport compared to societal averages - Whereas, I suspect the opposite trend is true in men’s sport - I’d have...

    Championship out of contract players June 2024

    Robins has also said he understands it’s an incremental process. Which it is. There’s a lot of assumptions Robins has been ignored by Doug which is at best, a half truth. Had we secured EMC in Jan and had a bit more look injuries wise, we’d be v happy with the squad. In any case, any loanees...

    Maidstone Tickets

    By playing our first strength team, no pissing about. You get caught out badly by playing a massively rotated side, specifically handing out debuts to players who don’t play men’s football. Start strong, take a commanding lead then make use of the 5 subs we have. Get the job done without stress.

    I don’t agree that it is a ‘big ask’. Our team is in a better place than last season. It’s an achievement to make the playoffs and to bounce back after a rebuild but the squad undoubtedly has playoff quality. That and I believe we have one of the ‘easiest’ run ins too. There’s a lot of...

    KP45 - more action now

    I’m glad I didn’t know the full lyrics to this last Saturday. I heard his name and ‘in the Championship’ and that was all I could make out. What an immature song - stereotypes aside, it’s schoolboy humour of the lowest wit. The many shit amateur songwriters in the fan base need to get in the...

    Championship thread 23/24

    A draw is perfectly acceptable, this and WBA are more ‘must not lose’ games. Two draws will do us fine. Hull and WBA will drop points this weekend when they play each other. After WBA, they have PNE, Blue and Leicester so they will invariably drop points. WBA will probably run away from 6th...

    It doesn’t need to be a choice and I personally back us against any of the top 10 over two legs, with the exception of the relegated teams. Which those and Blackburn would be our ‘easiest’ route to the semi finals of the FA Cup. I’d personally want us to draw a big team in the quarters and we...

    Maidstone Tickets

    One round of league games go against us and playoffs is a big ask? There’s 39 points to play for and there’s a 3 point deficit from 6th where we have edge on GD. Calm yourself.

    Milan van Ewijk Appreciation Thread

    I agree but it’s more complex than that though, is he fully match fit and does he have the chemistry with the players around him. This is Maidstone’s FA Cup final so they’re going to elevate their game. It should still be a routine win with some fringe players. It’s best to take the job...

    Beating WBA would be huge but it doesn’t increase the % of us making the playoffs that much. There’s still 33 points to play for after that match so we can’t rest on our laurels. Most of our away games are winnable after WBA - with Southampton being an exception. At home, we’ve lost one game...

    Watford tickets

    I thought I got away with it because June was the original plan but the better half could t do that time! My plan for the rest of the season is to go every renaming game so that’d put me to around 1150 points if you include 20 points for another cup game. Which, ironically, would probably be...

    Watford tickets

    We’ve got our Maidstone tickets! Hopefully we can go 1000 before the end of the season because I’m thinking ahead to the playoffs. That said, I’m possibly going to miss both legs if we get the final as I’m on holiday - back in time for the FA Cup and playoff finals though! 😂

    Watford tickets

    In the future, particularly if we get to the Prem, I do think a ballot system will work. This much demand for tickets before general sales is a new thing for the club so we don’t really need to change much right now. With the current system, I can see where there’s some frustration. Yet, I do...

    The points accrued over 3 years ago are wiped iirc, so the points will be more or less the same, right? My brother is on 970 and it’s a struggle to get tickets together now. It’s not really a problem for me because my brother’s ticket is usually a spare. For a lot of people this may be a...

    For most allocations, the current points breakdown and timings won’t make a difference because you find there’s a lot of people on 1700+ points anyway. For more in demand games, they’ll push the threshold up to 1,100+ points and so on. If anything, they’ll probably allocate ‘x’ % because as...
