    Match Thread Coventry City - Ipswich Town Match Thread - Monday 29th Dec

    Beaten by the better side. Take it on the chin and move on. Most disappointing thing for me was the failure to win a 50/50 or second ball all night. Thought we turn up tonight but we were so passive. Chance to put it to bed in a few days though. Win there and put it behind us.

    Stadium update

    If it's brand new cladding, I reckon it'll be dark grey, with some sky blue touches as an accent colour. Just guessing though. Should be a planning app soon i'd guess.

    Stadium update

    I think some of it is beyond repair, lots of panels seem to have water and heat damage, a few panels have already been replaced. Makes sense to replace it, a once in 20 year job rather than having to revisit it every couple of years. That said, this sort of wrap might work around sections that...

    Atmosphere again

    It would be better, just as it was the start of last season, the season before and especially the season before that when we started terribly. Simply don't understand how people who have been watching football for a long time don't understand the dynamic here, how success breeds expectations...

    Atmosphere again

    Yep, a lot of hand wringing when the reasons are obvious. People making comments about SC now being full of this, that and the other. It's been sold out every week in that part of the ground for 3 seasons, it's the same people. We've had regular sell outs or near sell outs for several seasons...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Swansea City Match Thread - Friday 26th Dec

    Exactly. All the hysteria seems to be coming from those somehow outraged that we're not always predicting a 4-0 win before every game 😂. Nothing wrong with a bit of caution, and that's all it is, and we've all been watching the game long enough to know how this league is far from predictable...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Swansea City Match Thread - Friday 26th Dec

    The thing that worries me about today is the expectation. Get a feeling it will be very flat in the ground, people will be waiting for something to happen and the pressure is all on us, so bit of a free hit for them. Ipswich on the other hand I think it is the opposite, crowd will be up and...

    Sold out already?

    Yep. I know a load that can't make the game because of work, but clearly there is a lot of demand from those that are off, so if there has ever been a game to open ST resale asap, it's this one.

    Match Thread Preston North End FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 9th Dec

    Easy to let frustration cloud judgement. It was one of those. Was bound to happen at some point, so take the point and move on. They celebrated like it was a win. We've been much the better side before the sending off and dominated after it. Final ball lacking and switched off for the goal. It...

    That shit show away end at Ipswich needs sorting

    Some clubs do seat maps for their away allocations so you can choose where you sit. Might help a bit. There is an issue with fans not sitting in their allocated seat, that's for certain. Saturday was different, I always head to my seat, always, but I couldn't even get to it, they blocked access...

    Fa cup 3rd round draw 6.30pm today TNT sports and youtube

    Meh. Stoke get notoriously low gates for FA Cup games. We might take a few, but they'll have about 8K rattling around. All a bit of a non event. The only worrying thing is we might win. Should say, I never normally take that view and always want us to go as far as possible, but genuinely don't...

    That shit show away end at Ipswich needs sorting

    Yep, coach 3 not in Sudbury to take us to game and not there after. These things happen I guess. Bit annoying that I had stuff on the coach that I guess now lost. One of those I suppose, nobody's fault really, just a crap day.

    That shit show away end at Ipswich needs sorting

    SBA. Coach wasn't there after the game, so not sure what happened in the end but luckily managed to jump in the car with someone. Had better away days it's fair to say

    That shit show away end at Ipswich needs sorting

    It was awful, really stressful tbh. Always go in my dedicated seat usually, but arrived just after kick off today as coach had broke down. Were not allowed to access the stairs to our seat, so we went down the next and ended up on the gangway with a load of others. Cue an on-going battle for the...

    Gone Unoticed? Record home fan attendance

    Yep, a top band that sells out a gig or a restaurant that fills all their covers have failed on pricing apparently. Not to mention a football club is a community asset as well as a business. The more people you get through the gates and in the habit of going, the better protected you are when...

    Gone Unoticed? Record home fan attendance

    You can point it out all you like, it's still wrong. It's short termism. There is value in getting more people through the gates that goes beyond the bottom line. If there was any sense to that logic, teams that sell out every week would keep ramping prices to stupid levels, but they generally...

    Gone Unoticed? Record home fan attendance

    We sell out the cheaper cat b games (4 in a row now), but not the expensive ones, although boxing day will be the exception. Not sure what that proves other than we could sell out every week if we wanted to. Bristol City could be our lowest turn out of the season, lower that Albion even. Cat A...

    Rudi?

    Could be going to Ipswich with no BTA, Sakamoto, Wright and now maybe Rudoni. Will get called names saying I'd settle for a draw, but 100% would. Could be a tough month, but this team keeps surprising us so who knows.

    Liam Kitching

    Both Thomas and Kitching have been outstanding this season. We play a ridiculously high line and given the ground they cover they're going to get caught out from time to time. Even at Boro at 2-2, late in the game, they are throwing themselves forward and are involved in both late goals. On...
