    Was this the first Suday game ?

    It was our first Sunday game at Highfield Road, many thousands of Derby fans and free entry but an expensive programme which was compulsory to get around the Sunday trading laws. I recall that it was a by product of the 3 day week, it was the FA refusing to extend the season. Most thought our...

    Automatic promotion but with a few scares along the way until we get used to this league.

    Offers in for Ryan Haynes

    i would not be surprised if championship clubs are looking at Haynes. For me he is potentially a very good player and was the best player(withThomas)in a Coventry shirt in the 7 games I saw last season. He deserves to be playing in a higher league and Ike George Thomas if he goes then he should...

    Gould 71

    I used to love Gould the striker, he was energetic and could take a chance. He lacked pace which prevented him playing at the top clubs after Arsenal but West Brom, Wolves, and West Ham all benefited from his prowess. He came in as manager after the clearout and somehow managed to put together a...

    James Collins

    On a Coventry City theme, saying that Labour didn't cause the global recession is like saying that Richardson played no part in amassing our debt levels.

    George Thomas

    Whatever happens from here on in I hope he enjoys a great career. His work ethic is really outstanding. George Thomas is a credit to our club and I wish him well.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Yes I am aware of that. However much the consortium has to play with they will be paying over the odds as there is very little in the way of assets and precious little goodwill and probably the biggest asset is the fanbase and training ground and George Thomas.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Surely he had more than that? He was part of a company that was sold for 208 million so why isn't he making a mega offer for a club with little income, 12 months away from being homeless and Barretts building houses on the training pitch and div 4 status?

    Lee Burge Signs new contract!

    Why should the new lad been given a go? Surely the manager should make his decision based on what he sees in training and pre season? It will take one fumble for him to be called shit on here.

    So did RCC against Swansea.

    Lee Burge Signs new contract!

    Is there anyone in our fan base that can offer an opinion on the new keeper based on having seen him play a few games rather than the fact his name isn't Burge or RCC?

    What they want

    I'll buy the mild, Grendel will buy the bitter

    What they want

    As Grendel says they could be joining Elvis down the pub for a pint of mild and asking the clowns to drink it.

    The Old Black

    That was by far the best game Young had in a Coventry shirt, I liked him but he turned out to the warm up act for Tommy Hutchison a year later.

    The Old Black

    Can't answer the goalie question but the Everton number nine was a player who turned out to be a fantastic striker for Ipswich, Liverpool and England- David Johnson.
