    Feelings Towards Ricoh Arena Now

    I loved Highfield Road and wish we had never moved. All of the heartache of the last 10-12 years would never have happened. However, I don’t think the Ricoh has ever had a chance to thrive as a football stadium because things have been so bad since we moved there. A winning Championship team...

    Can We Stop the Binaries?

    Because they lie all of the time, they could reassure all of the time and it still wouldn’t mean anything. At the age of nearly 62 it is possible that yesterday was the last Saturday game I will see City play in Coventry.

    Tim said we are moving to rugby

    Although Butlin Road is a better and bigger ground than Liberty Way, access and infrastructure are not as good (still not very good at Liberty Way). However, in Nuneaton there would be less objections from residents as it is on an industrial estate and there is much more space for the erection...

    Tim said we are moving to rugby

    I haven’t been there for a few years but if it is still the same, there was only one fairly narrow cul de sac up to the ground. I am pretty sure that there were only one set of entrances, beside the social club. That would be a real problem getting a few thousand “home” fans in, never mind the...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Oxford United Match Thread - Saturday 23rd Mar

    Not wanting to put a downer on things as on the pitch everything is looking good. However, could this be our club’s last ever Saturday match in Coventry? There, I’ve said now! I think we will win today (I always think we will win however and quite often I am disappointed.

    Noel Whelan/Dave Bennet

    I never really rated him that highly when he was here. I always felt he had the potential to be a better player than he was. However, if you look at his Coventry goals compilation on YouTube, some of them are outstanding. He must be a member of a very exclusive club being a player who scored a...

    Keith Houchin/David Speedie

    Speedie was off the scale on the old swearometer!

    Stadium Location Options-Letter to CovCC

    Kelly should make the home games then.

    Crowd on Saturday

    I agree with this. Either a lot less than 15k for Morecambe or a lot more than 17k than got Notts.

    Crowd on Saturday

    I wonder how many Coventry fans have been to see the team this season ranging from those who attend every game to those who have attended only once. You would think that with things hotting up that if they have been to any other game this season then, if they were able, they would get to the...

    City Promotion wreckers!

    If Jimmy is there I would hope he would have nothing to do with someone like Thatcher (Can’t believe that she would get there anyway).

    Sunderland (Away)

    So long as they beat Doncaster I don’t care after that (unless they play Blackpool or Peterborough).

    I'll say it

    Presumably when Robin’s agreed to let JCH go he would have known that the only like for like replacement was Bakayoko. Seems more planned than he is being given credit for.

    I think if Jones has stayed fit last season we would have finished higher than 6th.

    How many managers have we had since relegation from the PL? How many since relegation to League One? Apart from Eric Black and briefly Mowbray, we have had no success. We have been on a downward spiral. Robins is the first manager to have a sustained period of success. The fact we were in...

    It’s a bit pedantic to go on about it I know, but labelling him “Craplin” does seem to be personal and to be holding him in contempt. No problem with legitimate criticism. To write him off at 21 after half a season seems harsh. You say that Robin’s “stubbornness” is a fault. As mentioned above...

    Luke Thomas, who I have really enjoyed watching this season and who I think has the chances to be a top player, has missed far more. Do we call him names too? Granted the overall contribution of Thomas has been more than that of Chaplin but Chaplin has still contributed to the team. He has...
