    Fresh Ricoh talks

    What would be the plan if Wasps don’t collapse because I don’t see that this is something that is certain to happen? What happens If Wasps collapse but then are saved by some financial white knight charging to their rescue? We are marooned in another city. We need to be back in Coventry as soon...

    I just had an email back from Rebecca Shortland at the club. She said she had just checked and I will be okay for tonight.

    Being an old duffer, I took the advice of my son who said we didn't have to do anything else as we were already registered on the CCFC site. He can pay for my Sky pass tonight if he was wrong!

    Watching Friday

    I assumed that because I am registered on the CCFC site and had bought Ifollow match passes from the site this season that that would mean I was okay to log on this evening and watch the game (I bought this season’s membership and ST). Just looking on there now it seems that there was a separate...

    Little bits of history.

    You are probably right. A long time ago! I remember listening to the game on BBC Radio Derby which kept fading in and out. The local radio at the time was BBC radio Birmingham who obviously couldn't be bothered with us that night. The mention of buying the programme to gain admittance to the...

    Kastaneer

    He has never really looked the part. He scored the great goal against Bristol Rovers and looked sensational in his ten minutes as a sub at home to Doncaster. But in the games he has started that I have seen, Watford, Rotherham, Nuneaton he has been anonymous. I think he also played and was...

    West End.

    I wish that we had stayed at Highfield Road, but that is mainly because of all of the fall out with the Ricoh resulting in us not having a ground and having to play at St Andrews, something that would have been unbelievable had you spoken to a City fan in 2005. As mentioned on here, I think...

    West End.

    The Sky Blue Stand was the one that originally had the wave design. When the main stand was rebuilt after the fire, it's new roof matched the stand on the other side. I am not sure why the roof on the Sky Blue Stand was changed. I'm sure someone on here will know.

    Forgotten Trialists and Signings

    Jose Perdomo and Chris Marsden were two players who, I think, only played 3 games each, very much looked the part, but for whatever reasons, we're never signed permanently. I remember Perdomo running the game at Villa Park and Marsden doing the same in a game at home to Swindon. I don't know...

    Match Thread Barnsley Match Thread

    I always felt that Scargill was on some ideological crusade and the NUM was his vehicle. I'm not sure it was always the miner's best interests that were at the heart of his campaigns. If you compare him to Joe Gormley, the bloke he succeeded, I don't think he comes out as a very good leader. You...

    So far this season we have played far more on the break. It is almost as if the MK Cup game was a preparation for this style, as we retreated and allowed them a lot of the ball. In that game, unlike the other 3 we have played, we conceded a lot of chances. Even the second half against QPR...

    Shankland

    From the club's s point of view I would think that extending the ban on fans in stadiums is no bad thing. I presume they have sold out the 3500 membership/ST allocation, so that money, reduced as it is, is in the bank. I also presume that opening up St Andrews for the 3500 to get in would have...

    Tommy Hutchison's Birthday

    He is the best Coventry player that I have ever seen. Luckily for us we had him in the era before freedom of movement.

    I saw Barnsley twice the season they got promoted. Although we took 4 points off of them, they were obviously a very good (League 1) team. They must have improved on that to have survived last season. I read on here that they won only one of their opening 9 games. That would indicate, that to...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs QPR

    One of the comments made by the commentator or one of the pundits last night was that last season our style smothered teams. I am not sure he was being entirely complementary as he was comparing the fact we conceded the least amount of goals in League One with, what to him, seemed a fairly...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs QPR

    From the stats given out on the TV last night it would seem that QPR are quite prolific. Their problem hasn't been scoring but defending. It’s hard to tell at the moment how the league will shape up. QPR may be struggling, they may not. To say they are a team we should expect to be beating...
