    Miracle in Sky Blue, my first ever Coventry City book, still got my copy too, written by a guy called Marshall Stewart.

    Didn't Blackpool escape?

    Fans allowed in? - Updated!

    I’m 63 but I would hope to go back to games as soon as we can. Whether the Ricoh or St Andrews, both stadiums are large enough that with a restricted attendance and perhaps no away fans you should be able to distance from other spectators. I would think that refreshments won’t be on sale...

    I think you are underestimating the effect Kelly has on that team.

    Realistic Expectations next season

    Fisher said top 8 budget for League Two and didn't Body say recently that last season we had a mid table budget in League 1? In other words Robins and the team punched above their weight, which they will have to do again this season.

    Robins on 5 Live

    I agree with the comments on here about how Wycombe play and I think they will struggle in the Championship. (not sure about the guaranteed 6 points for us as every good run comes to an end at some point). This season I felt that they took their long ball tactics to a new level. Five times...

    Exciting Prospects?

    I thought he looked good the few times he played last season.

    Roger van gool

    Before Van Goole signed there had been a lot of speculation and excitement as it had become known that City were about to buy a foreign international, but his name was being kept secret. The Telegraph broke the story with the headline 'It's Van Goole'. This might have been fitting if the player...

    The new flag designs...

    Only two promotions for JH. I loved each of Hill, Milne and Sillett as our manager. In my view Robins deserves his place alongside them having turned the playing fortunes of this club around while working for crap owners and having to play the whole of last season away from home.

    Plus it's outside and offers far more chance of social distancing, particularly with reduced capacity.

    Is it inevitable that Robins will leave us this season?

    I was about to say that he is way out of touch with what has happened to Ashton Gate.I suppose the bloke who sat on his shed to watch the games has had to buy a ticket now!

    Gustavo Hamer - CONFIRMED

    West Brom had a player in the late 60s, Gordon Nisbet who played for them in goal ( I think he may have been in goal in a game we won 4-2 or 3-1. Hunt hat trick in one, Carr hat trick in the other.) They must have decided he wasn't going to make it as a keeper. He converted to a full back and...

    Possible Site for the elusive new ground ?

    Never really looked at what the official rights of a Freeman of Coventry entitles you to.

    Possible Site for the elusive new ground ?

    I’m a Freeman of the City too (apprentice at the Alvis). I have often wondered what would happen if anyone tried to put a flock of sheep on there?

    Interesting Trust Action

    Tisdale had a long stint at Exeter. Ultimately their board's decision to serve him notice was probably a mistake. Tisdale, I believe was given the opportunity to stay, but chose to go to MK where, after 18 months, he was given the sack. Like Robins at Coventry, Tisdale and Exeter seemed to be a...

    George Thomas

    If money is everything then maybe so. Two years out of the three he played no games at a senior level. As mentioned above, if he had of stayed and played he may have progressed with us or he may have earnt the dream move when better placed to take advantage of it. His international career will...

    Liam Walsh

    He has been my player of the season in a team that was packed with contenders for that title. I disagree with some of the comments on here as I felt he started to show his ability after about 30 mins of his debut against Blackpool. (He started slowly in that game). He did make the odd mistake...

    Ex Player Watch

    I don't know how he did overall in his time at Scunthorpe but I did see him play against us at Glanville Park. We lost 2-1 and I thought he played well.
