    Weight and working out

    I’ve set myself a pretty big running challenge to complete this year to fundraise for my chosen charity. I’m keen to be as trim and healthy as possible, partly as it’ll help with the challenge, but also if I’m going to be running a lot, then it’ll be nice to see some physicals benefits too!! So...

    The Club Shop

    I’m a bit of a broken record, but I’m doing the London Marathon on the morning of the Semi Final. With a 3:30 KO, it’s looking incredible tight / likely I’ll miss kick off. I’ll also be in my running gear as I’ll be coming straight from the finish. Not going to have time to change /...

    Semi Final Dates

    I’ve running the London Marathon on Sunday morning, so selfishly I wanted the Sunday so I didn’t have to (try and likely fail to) resist drinking all day Saturday. However 3:30 kick off makes it extremely tight, so I’ll probably miss KO, be in my sweaty running gear and likely feeling horrendous!

    Ben Sheaf in depth

    He’s always been class and I’ve lost track of the amount of times I’ve called him that on here (I’ll happily join in the self back patting!). It took the majority a long time to change their focus from the odd mistake he makes to the plethora of good things he does. Some still aren’t there...

    FA Cup Semi Final Draw

    Said it before but I have to hope our game is on the Sunday. I’ve got the London Marathon the morning of Sunday 21st, and if the game is Saturday I really don’t think I have the resolve to resist getting caught up in the atmosphere and having a few beers. Which will be a decision I will regret...

    Match Thread Wolverhampton Wanderers - Coventry City [FA] Match Thread - Saturday 16th Mar

    Still not caught up with this thread yet. However the kids are going out for lunch with the grandparents today, for about 2-3 hours. Absolutely perfect time to re watch the whole game and read the numerous match related threads on here. Might even have a Guinness too - it is the day for it...

    Match Thread Wolverhampton Wanderers - Coventry City [FA] Match Thread - Saturday 16th Mar

    1) Looking forward to reading back through this thread later 2) Cannot wait to watch the highlights (if not the whole game) 3) What an atmosphere - so many Cov fans still around Birmingham too. I don’t think anyone wants to go home! 4) WEMBLEY

    Lati song 👎

    Just saw a grown man with his two kids shouting this song on his own at the top of his voice in the train station. It’s genuinely tragic stuff.

    Wolves away pubs

    Heading to Birmingham first for breakfast and beers around 8:30/9, then straight back again after. My memories of Wolverhampton is that it’s a bit of a hole, so won’t be lingering. Albeit long day at Cheltenham yesterday and watching it from the pub today, so not massively looking forward to...

    Running

    Ran 20 miles today, the majority of which was on a very muddy and slippy canal towpath. Did it in just under 3 hours (2:59!!) which I wasn’t particularly planning for and am quite surprised I did, especially considering the conditions. I’ll absolutely take it though especially as I’m out...

    Wolves FA cup Quarter Final

    Me, alcohol free beers, all other fans, lager , sometimes cider.

    Wolves FA cup Quarter Final

    If, and appreciate it’s a big if, we win then the Wembley SF is the same weekend I run the London Marathon. So either I have to watch the game stone cold sober on the Saturday and don’t enjoy the (now traditional!) Wembley pre match routine, or the game is on Sunday PM, in which case I’ll need...

    Anyone else now not renewing their ST

    The queues for drinks are honestly absolutely horrendous. Not moved in 15 minutes. What is it with this stadium and queues.

    Coventry gigs

    I genuinely hadn’t paid any attention until today but tickets state entrance via the North Stand and list a gate. I hope it’s just vaguely (and poorly) worded and it is inside the exhibition hall. As if not it seems bizarre on many levels!

    Anyone else now not renewing their ST

    Guilty (put it on the off topics earlier which I think you frequent @clint van damme!). Have to admit I didn’t know much about it as my partner booked it. But I assumed it would be in the exhibition hall. Not the stadium itself. So I imagine it’ll be carnage with the turnstiles and who knows...

    Fantastic result. Always pleasing shutting up the bedwetters. Simms was excellent again. March is back on.

    Coventry gigs

    Going to the Chris Moyles 90’s hangover show tonight at the Arena. My partner booked it, so I haven’t paid much attention and assumed it was in the exhibition hall. It’s not, it’s in the stadium! So it’s going to be carnage with ticket scanning I bet, and probably bloody freezing!

    Wolves tickets

    My Dads retired so he was trusted to log on at 10AM yesterday and get tickets for the four of us. To be fair he did get four tickets, but somehow we’re spread across the two stands and all sitting in random seats nowhere near each other! He wants to be in charge of planning travel and pre/post...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Rotherham United FC Match Thread - Tuesday 5th Mar

    Same question again? Another hat trick but against poor opposition again. So we still need to cut out loses and sell.
