    Positive News for the Academy - Wasps pull out of Higgs

    Slightly off topic but John Sharpe the Coventry Rugby spokesman today confirmed on local radio this morning that they will never agree a deal with CCFC on a ground share at the Butts whilst the club is owned by SISU. I believe the full interview is being included in the rugby show at 6 tonight...

    Bit of a scrappy performance today with a lot of handling errors, but still a comfortable win,which bodes well for the future. Some big games coming and if we can maintain this run and get to the New Year unbeaten, then the 'fat lady' will nearly be ready to sing.

    First away trip for me watching Cov for a long time,what an enjoyable time we had ,helped no doubt with the news of the score from Luton. Great support there as well ,with 3 coaches and lots travelling in cars. Difficult to judge but I guess at least half the crowd were Cov fans. We dominated...

    Originally we were overwhelmingly City fans and only started to go when we moved to Northampton. Then we only went when CCFC were playing away.Gradually we realised we enjoyed going to the Butts far more than going to CCFC. We found the Ricoh atmosphere was toxic and we were just going out of...

    There was a party standing at the last general election effectively campaigning to reverse the brexit vote, they were called the liberal democrats, and they were routed. Even the Labour Party campaigned on accepting the brexit vote, the Article 50 vote was voted through with a huge majority...

    Like you and indeed many others have said there is no chance of a ground share with CRFC, and it beggars belief that anyone still gives any credence to what Fisher says. Another great win against a very energetic side in difficult weather conditions. Looking to the reactions from CCFC fans on...

    What are you on about,you are making no actual sense. Perhaps you can tell me when your beloved EU is going to close the EU Parliament in Strasbourg as it already has a perfectly good one in Brussels,but hey lets all pay for the whole EU circus to travel down to Strasbourg every 4 weeks at a...

    No I mean the 17.4 million of ordinary people who voted to leave. The biggest vote for anything in this country's history. Interesting you mentioned Trump as he won an election over in the USA. News coming out of the USA overnight seems to suggest of a link between the Sainted Obama and...

    The liberal global elite, try Branson the tax avoiding creep lecturing us on brexit from his island paradise. Christine Legarde head of the IMF warning us on brexit, you know the same woman found guilty in Paris court for fraud. Global Hedge funds like Morgan Stanley, the OECD the receipient...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Our net contributions are well over 3 billion and were only going to get bigger. The idea that the EU will cut back its budgets is for the birds. Most EU countries don't pay anything into the budget. Germany is already the biggest net contributor but of course it benefits hugely from an under...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    What the hell are you on about. The EU doesn't allow us to do free trade with other countries as we are currently not a sovereign country. All out trade deals are currently controlled by Brussels.By leaving the EU we are rejoining the rest of the world, you know the near 200 countries which are...

    Most of the countries in the world trade with the EU on WTO terms, it doesn't seem to harm them.Currently we don't even have a free trade deal with the EU we pay net 10/11/12 billion a year net for the privilege of running a huge trade deficit with the EU,what is it currently circa 80 billions a...

    Slightly off topic but a shout out to the Coventry Blaze who have seemingly put out their best team in years. The last 2 weeks they have beaten Sheffield 5-1, and last Sunday they beat Belfast 6-1. Two teams they couldn't beat for love or money last year. In Marc O Vallerand they have a real...

    Not at our best today, but to get maximum points was a bonus, particularly with Darlington losing and I believe Plymouth missing out on a bonus point. Still unbeaten and we now sit proudly at the top. Lots of injuries today and with the 'incident' in the crowd it made for a disjointed game...

    The official NFL Thread

    Except he hasn't polling showed around 65% oppose the Kneeling boycott. Indeed there has been such a huge backlash across the USA from NFL fans ripping up their season tickets,they are calling the NFL the no fans league, An article in (I think) the Washington Post shows ticket sales are down...

    None of the injuries looked too serious mind you its often hard to tell with rugby players. Indeed some players were replaced only to return to the game later on. The game is so attritional that at times it resembles a battlefield.

    Decent game today,perhaps not the same intensity as the Moseley game, but convincing winners in the end. Feel that Plymouth will be our biggest challengers this season, need to make sure we grind out results against the lesser teams.

    Bizarre that Darlington are top with 3 bonus points, and yet I believe have won 2 of their games by 1 point. Big game for Cov this Saturday,really looking forward to it, confident we can beat Blackheath and go back to top spot by Saturday evening.

    Have we sold 5000 season tickets ?

    Had a season ticket (Northampton aside) upto the start of this season. Have been to 1 game, Grimsby away which actually wasn't a bad game/day out. But this season we made the decision to go and watch Coventry Rugby on a regular basis, and the contrast couldn't be more stark. We finally realised...
