    Best Concerts You've Been To ?

    I've seen some great bands like Deep Purple, Rainbow, Pink Floyd, Def Leppard and Dio but 2 of the best I saw I only went because there was a spare ticket on the day, Thin Lizzy at De Montfort Hall Renegade tour and Fleetwood Mac at NEC Tango in the Night tour. Garry Moore at the NEC was also...

    North based Sky Blues fans?

    You'll have Jimmy Krankie all upset saying that, it's hard enough for her to have to accept that Scotland even borders England

    North based Sky Blues fans?

    We might be able to cobble a team together from North of the border as well, if not we'll have to include members from Wales & Ireland too & have a Rest of British Isles team

    Danny Newton - Tamworth

    So I got just both of them wrong them. It was a long time ago in my defence although I can still remember the disappointment when I got to a game or 1 or both of them were playing

    Your own new political party

    Sort the tax system out. All corporate or personal income earned in the UK should pay UK tax and none of this non-domicile status.

    Danny Newton - Tamworth

    Huckerby joined us from Newcastle who were in the PL with us. Haworth was from Wigan and I think Lightbourne was Stoke or Port Vale

    General Election

    There was a lot of tactical voting in Scotland to beat the SNP. It didn't happen in 2015 but Labour & Conservative voters have wised up to it since. This also happened in the last elections for the MSP's where Davidson won in an SNP stronghold because alot of labour voters voted for her...

    General Election

    Yet there are 2 losers, the SNP and Theresa May. To call an election to be held 11 before Brexit negotiations start to try and increase the majority and lose seats is a massive fuck up. Not sure how this will affect the negotiations, personally I would prefer a soft brexit or not one at all

    General Election

    Well that went better than I could have hoped for. Hopefully the SNP losing 21 seats and down to 37% of the vote will stop Jimmy Crankie pushing for a 2nd referendum, Salmond & Robertson losing was a bonus. I had a real dilemna voting and even though the conservative candidate in Stirling had a...

    Carlisle and Blackpool, next season

    It is beautiful up here, but then there are beautiful parts of England too but we probably can't afford to live in those, and I only notice the lack of traffic when I come down the M6 and get past Preston. We are kind of committed to staying here until our son finishes his education, he starts...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    I preferred Cadbury's version, the Aztec bar but it was stopped after a couple of years

    Carlisle and Blackpool, next season

    Haha, afraid not, 100% English, born in Lincoln & raised in Rugby. I do have a Scottish wife and an Anglo-Scottish son who thanks to my wife's disinterest in sport supports both Coventry & England!! I see myself as a modern day English missionary living in Scotland trying to educate the locals...

    Carlisle and Blackpool, next season

    Carlisle is the closest away team for me so that's one away trip for next season, might also make Blackpool depending on when it is plus hopefully a couple of home games

    When did the East Stand at Highfield Road get built?

    I think whoever was chairman at the time, may have been Poynton although the stand was built under Richardson, tried to buy the factory on the other side of Swan Lane but they wouldn't sell up. If they had we were going to build a much bigger East Stand with a bigger capacity and divert Swan...

    Michael Doyle re signing for City

    I am not convinced with Michael Doyle as from the few times I saw him play he seemed to specialise in giving the ball away and then fouling the player when trying to get the ball back but at least we are not waiting to sign players at the start of pre-season or 2 weeks into the season like we...

    Last game at White Hart Lane

    I always liked going to WHL and am pretty sure I never saw us lose there. The game in 94 was good and I even remember us having a laugh with the referee when he gave Spurs a corner and we tried to convince him it was a goalkick but the standout game for me was the 3-1 win the following season...

    My 26 years of being a Coventry City fan

    I'm sure I read somewhere that Sillett went to watch David Platt when he was at Crewe and wasn't convinced and bought Peter Billing instead
