    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Walsall Match Thread - Tuesday 3rd Sep

    The Watford game possibly cost us 2 points Saturday, Blackpool will be a far sterner test than Oxford.

    Old Heads

    Some great names here, Dublin stained his image with his defection to Villa for me. My two would be Dave Bennett or Huckerby. When either received the ball, even in their own half, the crowd would stand in anticipation of something happening. Both had the ability to glide past the opposition and...

    First ‘Home’ Game Attendance

    I'm much the same Woolly. My dad took me to watch southend united in the mid 60s in the old div 4. My adopted div one side was Coventry, purely because I liked the kit, and they were just different. Now 50 or so years latter I have three sons, one of which is an avid city fan as I took him...

    Home shirt out of stock already

    Obviously no lessons learned from last year. I got a training top and football (wont stay up) as consolidation for the long wait, I wonder what they'll offer this year.

    Kit launch at Coombe Abbey

    Would have preferred the away in traditional green and black. Oh well, the homes quite nice.

    Hummell

    Lets stick to green and black as our away. Black shorts and socks with a thin green hoop would be class.

    Sunderland til I die

    Hope they haven't got too many players on championship money with the parachute payments diminishing.

    Match Thread Chances of Making The Playoffs

    It wont happen but I would have loved to have played Sunderland in the playoff final just to show them what playing a big club at Wembley felt like.

    The 1968 Sky Blue

    The 68 kit was my first sort of replica I wore at school games lessons. As a 10 year old from Essex who'd never been north of Watford, it started my 50 year passion for the City. I loved the originality and brightness and got my mum to dye an all white cotton shirt and shorts sky blue and...

    Chelsea interest in Callum Wilson

    I still cant get it in my head that Bournemouth are a bigger club than Coventry!. I remember going to Bournemouth not so long agao when they were on the verge of relegation to the 2nd div and didn't have enough money to finish their new stand. They had people with buckets outside the ground to...

    New 3rd Kit

    It was the very first kit I brought in a football mag back in the 70's and could never understand why we didn't keep it as our regular away strip instead of the truly awful ones since. If I have to be picky I would preferer black socks with a green hoop here or there as I think dark socks look...

    Best away fans at the Ricoh ?

    There was a reporter guy on talk sport this afternoon, who also is a sunderland fan saying that they completely out sung the Cov support on Saturday. I nearly crashed my lorry laughing.

    Match Thread Coventry City v Sunderland match thread Saturday 29 Sep

    We don't seem to get enough players in the 6b yard box when in attacking positions. Chaplin is not the replacement for Mcnulty as he doesn't seem a natural predator. Watched on tv and although you can clearly hear the sky blue noise , you cant see the tremendous support. Lost count at the...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Scunthorpe United Match Thread - Saturday 4th Aug

    Three subs all at once...asking for trouble. It takes time to bed in and get into the pace of a game even playing non league. Through us off balance I would imagine.
