Condolences to his family and friends. Like so many I didn’t know Mark but his posts on the club’s finances were always informative , insightful and a bloody good read. On a personal note I too am a qualified accountant and a lot of his posts were way over my head. He was obviously a very...

I can relax now

Last time I went there was an evening game when Kevin Kyle scored a last minute winner

People slate Allen as not good enough for this league, neither is Godden for top half of Championship

Me too. Ian Painter hit the bar for them, Stuart Pearce stuck ours away

Good shout. I drove back from university in Kent that morning to be there and stood very quietly on the the Holte all game. Terrible start and yes we were awful and never looked like we could get back in the game - I think a very young and raw Paul Furlong played for us that day. I didn’t know...

I remember so many of the games previously mentioned but one that stands out for me is the 3-1 FA Cup win at Anfield in the 90s. We weren’t planning to go but changed our minds that morning and went up not expecting too much. After Liverpool scored the 1st goal we ran them ragged and could of...

I agree I have sat in block 1 or 2 for the last few years. There’s never been any trouble down there - sure there has been some verbals and mockery but surely that’s part of the experience isn’t it, or it supposed to be like going to church? The Sunderland game has been mentioned- there was no...

My point is that I disagree with your assertion that “Coventry is very much a football city”. Maybe in the 1960s or very early 70s but since then? No. Nearly all of the people who I know that attend regularly don’t actually live in Coventry Apparently Leeds, Newcastle and Sunderland are...

I’m talking about the whole time I have been supporting the club. How is it we could take c16k fans to Wednesday in 87 when the Saturday we played them at home in front of 14k, including away fans? 30k plus v Crewe, 28k v Gillingham, 40k plus at Wembley twice, where are they all now?

All excuses - and I’m not slagging off anyone who goes to games, it’s the ones who only turn up for big games. I used to attend a lot of games when we were in Birmingham ( not all admittedly) but could I get a ticket for our ‘home’ match in the FA Cup v Birmingham?

Couldn’t agree more. The fact that we can’t get 20,000 home fans to attend on a regular basis in the top half of the Championship us awful. The apathy around the city of Coventry towards the football club is shocking - but just watch if we still have a chance to get in the playoffs in mid April...

Hope I don’t spoil it but this ref is having a good game.

Anyone got the iFollow app working?

I was there that night too. Arrived about an hour before KO and ended up in a really scary crush outside the turnstiles, of which there weren’t many. IIRC the police had no choice but to open the gates as they were being forced open by the sheer weight of numbers outside. Very lucky not to have...

Yes he scored the winner in a 1-0 win at Highbury in 1983. Got well and truly drenched stood on the open Clock End but it was worth it.

Agreed. We had c10,000 @ West Ham but less than a fifth of that at Spurs, where we were awful. Heard so many stories about that night at West Ham - I was there - it was probably the most scared I gave ever been at a match but I was only 16. Have hated the media ‘love in’ for them ever since...

I think I need to watch him more closely then in the next few matches. To me he always seems to be getting rid of the ball ASAP even if that means putting the defenders immediately under pressure because the opposition have players close to them, or aimless punts upfield or out of play. I want...

Big C scored against us that day with a goal very similar to the one he scored for us at Hillsborough in the QF.

Was that not the cup game when we lost 2-0? Was at both matches and the 7-1 was a shocker as we had a really good team that season.
