    Millwall in 6th place with a negative goal difference

    National league crowds

    I think this might be the game. It was 1966.

    National league crowds

    I think your year might be a little bit out there. That game maybe 1965? I’ve seen some footage from that Match of the Day program and it’s really odd as I think they filmed the game from behind one of the goals?

    What moment still haunts you?

    I was also listening to that game. We lead twice and Bowles scored their winner in the last minute.

    Wrexham Away

    First time I’ve missed out on the first window. I’ve 1930 points. Do we think there will be tickets left at 12:00?

    I had put £10 on us to win 2-0 away at Luton that season. With minutes left and with that the score I could feel the £180 quid winnings in my sticky grasp. Then Duckens Nazon has to pop up and spoil things with a deflected City third. It’s the only time where I haven’t celebrated us scoring...

    9 years ago today

    There was a lot to love about the League Two season. After several seasons where winning was a rare event, we started to beat teams again. There were memorable away performances at Grimsby,Swindon, Luton,Lincoln, Carlisle and Cheltenham. We had those great FACup performances against Stoke...

    Sheffield Wednesday "on the pitch"

    He is obviously a bad owner. However, the things he has done I don’t think in anyway rival what Sisu did to us.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 27th Sep

    If it doesn’t sell out, it’s hopefully a message to Doug King that £45 for a second division game is too much ( plus the exorbitant children’s prices)

    Championship thread 25/26!

    I’m not sure it did. We were beating Ipswich 1-0 away in the 70s when the floodlights failed. The match was replayed and we lost. A couple of years earlier than that we were 2-0 down to Sheffield Utd well into the second half. The game was abandoned due to a water logged pitch. The match was...

    Timewasting

    Being a curmudgeonly old git, I’d also introduce a rule whereby 30 seconds after a goal is scored the conceding team are able to kick off irrespective of where the goalscoring team‘s players are. If they want to continue their synchronised dance celebration around the corner flag, fine but 30...

    Near sell outs most weeks

    Out of all the clubs who have had poor/ corrupt owners in the English leagues I can only think of Brighton that have possibly had it worse than us.

    Timewasting

    With the guy who went down in our half. Hobbled to the Centre circle then went down again, and was subbed, my son noticed that the injured guys sub was already waiting to come on. This player may have been injured but he very effectively broke up play far longer than was necessary. Instead of...

    Charity Shield 1987/88 - Coventry City vs. Everton

    The highlights are certainly better than the memories I have of that game. I would have said it was quite a dull game with few chances. That said, I didn’t remember any of the chances shown in the highlights, certainly didn’t remember us hitting the bar. Greatest fact from this game is that we...

    Stadium update

    Hope not. Really pleased he has managed to do this but much prefer an owner who operates in the background than one who does things for self aggrandisement. I always thought the Doug Ellis Stand at Villa sounded tinpot.

    Stadium update

    One of the stands would have to be the Tommy Hutchison Stand. It will be great to see the whole stadium branded with Coventry City stuff in the way that other clubs have done, both inside and outside. Much improved over the last couple of years but can be made into even more ‘ours’

    Millwall cup tickets

    I can’t see where it says they are on sale today? Certainly haven’t started selling them, unusual as it’s usually 10am

    Ex Player Reactions

    Wasn’t Liam Walsh player of the season in the promotion year? A great player for us and never gave less than 100%. Why he should be the subject of booing I certainly don’t understand. I thought he was the best player on the pitch last night as he has been in the three previous appearances...

    Transfer Rumour Bassette to FC Utrecht

    He played the first half of the friendly against Bristol Rovers and did nothing. You would think that he would be desperate to impress but he really looked ordinary and I don’t think he has featured since.

    Thanks for putting it on. I’d forgotten all of this!
