The Old Speckled Hendry was a slow seller....

If people were so keen to get tix for the fairly insignificant cup game against Birmingham City, there should be no excuse for not making the effort for this one, early kick-off, TV or not.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I believe the water was tested and the tapping up started as far back as November 10th 2007 when Wasps were invited to play their ‘home’ Heineken cup game against Munster at the Ricoh. I’m no SISU fan, but there is no question in my mind that the the council...

Nothing like a Stella Artois fuelled game of ‘Outgoings Top Trumps’ to lighten the atmosphere.

My opinion is that football clubs that carry the name of their county as well as the town or city they represent seem to have a stronger bond with the surrounding communities. Notts, Derby, Leicester for e.g. - I work around Leicestershire a lot and people from Loughborough, Ashby and Coalville...

I can’t see many Sunderland fans choosing to go to a Newcastle on matchday, but thanks for social and economic lecture about population and fanbase sizes, Riyadh.

With the exception of Sheffield, places like Sunderland, Ipswich and Portsmouth are smaller than Coventry in population but are possibly places with a stronger football heritage and definitely in the case of Sunderland and Ipswich, far larger geographical reach. The other consideration is...

What a contrived scenario, I think most of those players departed the club before the flags hit the recycle bin.

Against a local rival who would’ve provided decent away support. I doubt there were more than 4-5000 paying home spectators in that attendance.

Hilarious post by Steve from Cov on there - “Why they would protest about the College group selling off a facility that is haemorraging money is beyond me”. He obviously didn’t mind when it was CCC selling off the Ricoh. The irony.

The similarity is that CCFC and Wasps have an identical amount of paying spectators.

Jordan’s brother used to play American football in Bristol before moving onto the continent. He will have had plenty of feedback about life down there etc.

I would say he’s definitely a Sunderland fan. His name is Gary Hutchinson and he’s recorded on Linkedin as a Sunderland fan. The op was correct.

Correct, unless other people think that being born at Walsgrave Hospital and growing up on the Ansty Road at Wyken and in Exhall qualify as Birmingham. Willis’s Dad is originally from Bell Green. All good Cov people.

As much as it’s a nice idea, I doubt very much JLR will want to be associated with a team that still has a fair amount of controversy attached by virtue of their owners. There is also the issue of them effectively funding a club who are in active conflict with someone they already sponsor. I’d...

Absolutely scandalous. Around 4000 tickets left in the sky blue section, not even close to a sellout overall and people are still waiting for tickets. Heads should roll over this.

The Shrewsbury fan looks like he’s downed some undercooked chicken and is battling a nasty dose of the canteen rapids.
