    City of Culture Bid

    I think you are misjudging the impact of the fall we have had. To most football fans we are a fairly big club fallen on hard times. The stick I took today at work in Chelmsley Wood for the fact we were beaten by FGR proves the point. They know how far down the pan we have gone, but their...

    City of Culture Bid

    I agree with you. The fact Wasps are here I think is down to Sisu and the games that they played. I am sure there are lots of views on Wasps. My own view is that they were a south east based team. That's where their roots were, that's where their fans were. I hate the idea of franchise sports...

    City of Culture Bid

    I was listening to someone from Hull on the radio recently. They have done really well out of their City of Culture status, millions of pounds pumped into the local economy. I hope Coventry is successful as it would be a force for good in the City. I just can't understand, if it is true, a bid...

    What an embarrassment!!

    It's true. Fisher said at the Trust meeting we would have a top eight budget so at the moment Robins is achieving the position that his budget is dictating. It could therefore be said that for most of this season he has over achieved. Interesting to see the knives already starting to come out...

    City of Culture Bid

    I was talking to my son as we walked across Tesco car park after the game tonight. Hard to be made even gloomier after that result and performance but what he told me made me more depressed and also annoyed. He told me that the presentation put forward by the body promoting Coventry as The City...

    FA cup draw

    Two wins then draw Tottenham away. We always beat them at Wembley.

    Coventry Biennial Contemporary art

    Is It open at the weekend? Would like to have a look around. I think there is a short film on the move to Northampton too.

    What's the possibility of us being at The Butts next season?

    Not at all. I love them all! Simple comment on how children brought up in the same way will develop in their own way.

    What's the possibility of us being at The Butts next season?

    I have four boys, all now grown up. The elders two are big sports fans and come with me to the football when ever they can. The younger two hated sport and hated football.They both now take part in sport ( runnning and badminton) but still have no interest in football and Coventry City despite...

    Booing of team... some thoughts

    I think that this is true of most poor performances. Lack of ability rather than lack of effort. You want your team to do well but shower them with abuse? Very strange. I would much sooner see the reaction of the crowd after the game at Barnet. Much more likely to inspire a motivated team next...

    What's the possibility of us being at The Butts next season?

    I know what you mean about all the Wasps stuff. They shouldn't be there. Interesting to see how loyal their "fan base" will be if they continue losing. Wouldn't it be great if they got relegated and Cov (rugby) got promoted? I wonder how some of the Coventry Wasps "fans" would feel about...

    What's the possibility of us being at The Butts next season?

    Need to find a way of having City fans behind both goals.

    What's the possibility of us being at The Butts next season?

    The Ricoh is an identikit stadium but over time would have been developed no doubt into a more personalised one. It is very similar to the King Power Stadium and loads of times I have heard pundits say what a great atmosphere the Leicester fans generate. The difference is that they have had...

    Accrington away

    I've been to watch the RoI twice at Craven Cottage. Old fashioned ground but great atmosphere particularly when half the ground are Italian. Great to hear them sing their national anthem.

    Ticket Prices

    Genuinely interested. Are these prices the same for Wasps games?

    Ticket Prices

    Nobody mentioned categories when I bought the tickets from the Blues shop. Just looked on the BCFC website. Can't see anything about categories for matches, but if I want to sit in the Tilton Road End for the game against Cardiff it will cost me £18. That's for a second division game. The...

    Ticket Prices

    A work colleague turned 50 recently. For years she helped her husband run a local boy's team in Marston Green. She also helps to run the girl's team at our school. Despite her obvious interest in football she had never been to see a professional game. So for her birthday I bought two tickets for...

    Our defence

    I think one the worst sounds in football is when the opposition score at the end away from where their fans are. You can sometimes hear the swish of the ball hitting the net and for just a split second you know that they have scored before their fans can be certain. Then their roar, their Joy...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Crewe Alexandra Match Thread - Saturday 30th Sep

    I agree. I think he has played better when he hasn't been the main striker. It gives him the chance to link play more. He did that at Cambridge and again when he came on today.
