Traffic very slow on Walsgrave Road!

Tommy will be the match day guest on Friday for our game against Swansea. The Swans have kindly allowed us to sell the book both in the club shop and in the lounges before and after the game. We will be in the club shop from 12:30 until 1:15. Any City fans who arrive early or who are based in...

I met Max on Saturday. Like most of the ex-players I have met, he was a nice, unassuming bloke. I asked him if he had retired and he said no, he has been injured since leaving City. He said he hoped to be back in football next season.

A lovely film that! On that day, if you’d have said that in 6 years time, Robins would still be here, we would be 3 points off the play offs in the championship, had 13k ST holders, approaching 20k average gates and would play Stoke before a crowd of 23k+ (but would get thumped 4-0), oh and...

The last book selling event (that I know of at this stage) will be at Swansea on Good Friday. I will put details of the day on here later in the week so that any travelling City fans or any of those based in South Wales have a chance to meet the great man and buy a signed book if they want to...

Think it must be early ‘87 as the trees don’t seem in bloom plus there is no one driving around with sky blue ribbons attached to their car bonnet.

Just a reminder that Tommy will be in the casino after the game tomorrow. He will be signing copies of his book for anyone who hasn’t bought one yet. However, if you’re not buying a copy, still come over and say hello and get a photo as he is a really approachable chap. If you can’t make it...

You can then speculate what Robins would have done with the money and who he would have been able to bring in. You would think that either with O’Hare or the replacements brought in we would have had a better squad and therefore a higher league position.

I agree, I think being without O’Hare has been a major factor in why we aren’t firmly in the play off positions. Robins has found a way to be competitive with out him (and subsequently Allen and Palmer) but I felt we were a much more fluent and dangerous team with him playing. I think his...

Tommy was due to be at Blackpool last weekend. He decided a few weeks ago that it was an event too far, as he has clocked up a lot of miles this past year. Apologies, as I know one or two north west based City fans hoped to see him there.

Although with that name he must have had green roots!

Think he was English

Tommy will be down in Coventry for the game against Stoke on April 1 as part of Legend’s Day. If you would like to meet up with him and have a chat then he will be in the casino after the game. He will also be signing copies of the book for anyone who would like to buy one. (You don’t have to...

I felt the control we had in the second half disappeared when Allen went off. Albion had much more of the ball and snuffed out the momentum we had built. He didn’t have his best game, should have shot first time in the second half but still had an impact on the game in the way he harried the...

Just been reading through the responses to what I thought was an excellent post and was surprised at the vitriol you received from some. I’m not sure if that was because of the satirical nature of what you said or that they really dislike Jamie Allen so much. For what it’s worth, I think Allen...

Thank you for all the great comments. I really appreciate them and I will pass them all on to Tommy to read. We’re still selling the book. Next week Tommy returns to Alloa for the first time in over fifty years, he hasn’t been back since he signed for Blackpool. He will be their guest at their...

I have no strong feelings about Boddy either way. It was a concern when he arrived, firstly because he was a Sisu appointment and secondly because his reputation, gained from previous clubs, wasn’t great. He has been a big improvement on Fisher (a very low bar I know) but as regards his...

Disagree completely. Kelly was the most important factor in our survival that season. In my opinion he was a much more influential figure than Matty James. Indeed his performance in the pivotal match at Rotherham was superb. If you look at the points per game in the matches Kelly played as...

Thank you!
