    1963, 55 years

    I certainly remember a top division 1-5 home defeat against them. I was in the West Stand and people were throwing their season tickets over the edge & onto the pitch at the end. Mind you, they had firstly removed the vouchers they needed for the rest of the season.... The likes of John Chidozi...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Notts County Match Thread - Saturday 12th May

    For clarity, offside can still be called when the ball is played backwards if the player receiving the pass has moved from an offside position to get involved in the move. This wasnt the case with Forte last night.

    Penalty Decision Replay

    Everybody round me in block 20 couldn't believe the penalty being given but I haven't seen a replay yet. If the pubdits on Sky said it was nailed on then so be it. At least we're still in the tie although we need a better game plan next Friday.

    All this talk of crowds

    Charlton had 2 days less than us to sell tickets so it must have been a logistical nightmare. I dread to think howw CCFC would have coped with trying to sell out a whole stadium from scratch in 5 days flat.

    Our Record Over 2 Legs

    Not that any previous semi finals or two legged matches has the slightest bearing on this game coming up on Saturday. To quote John Motson in something he probably never said...' And Team B hasnt won at Team A for over 50 seasons. That must be on the minds of the players of team B....'

    That sounds spookily like ''me duck'' as spoken in the area North of Coventry.

    Cringe

    So a 7.30 k.o. next Saturday evening.... If we have an acute behaviour problem now based on a 3 o/c k.o., God knows what its going to be like with an additional good few hours pissing it up in the sun. Throw a poor result into the mix & the Ricoh area at around 9.30 will be rather worth avoiding...

    Cov fans fighting eachother

    As ever, most Sky Blue fans would prefer that fighting was confined to the boxing ring. BUT.... if it really, really has to kick off, then you definitely want to see our lot kick the crap out of the oppo yobs. Merely my opinion of course

    I was at the back of block 20 and the announcement regards block 17 was loud and clear. Generally, the tannoy was terrible quality....

    EFL highlights to be on Quest

    A good move if it means getting rid of the Glitter Band style music at least four times a programme. Who needs reminding of that pervert ???

    Babies at Cov games

    When we list 6-1 at The Emirates a few years ago, I was bemused to see overhead signs in the concourse pointing to 'Baby changing area'. Certainly a sign I wasn't expecting. Very politically correct Arsenal...

    Cov fans fighting eachother

    I recall the 1974 world cup game played in Hamburg between West Germany & somebody I can't remember. Large sections of the home crowd were chanting at Beckenbaur 'Bayerisch Schwein' simply because he played for Bayern Munich in the South of the country. Heavy stuff. Cant ever recall any similar...

    Todays Games

    Otis. I reckon we would do exactly the same given similar circumstances. However, they run the risk of not having Bostwick for at least one of the play off games.

    I'm guessing it wont get overturned but all depends when his hearing would be. He may well get to play Tuesday then miss other game(s)
