    My girlfriend flew to Prague today for a girls weekend. Coincidence I hope!

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Bradford City Match Thread - Friday 19th Apr

    Definitely shorts weather today. Early kick off is ideal too; beer gardens will still be warm after our victory too. Optimistic of a victory and however unlikely it is, at least we can still remain slightly hopeful of a play off miracle. Really hope the atmosphere doesn’t spoil the game today...

    Match Thread Sunderland vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 13th Apr

    For the reasons we did well today not being present; poor pitches and at times an over cautiousness from MR. I appreciate we can’t control the pitches we play on away from home (or even at home for that matter), but when we are set up to play football, use our technical superiority and attack...

    What a game! Please hold on! Shows what a difference a decent pitch makes to our style of play and how good an attacking team we actually are. Let’s hope MR takes this style forward to next year and wherever we’re playing has a flat pitch. It should also give us confidence ahead of next year...

    Match Thread Coventry City v Hull City U23's

    If that happens we should start a campaign to do just that (even if it’s only at Higgs) to show Wasps, Council, everyone exactly what the club means to the City.

    Rumour...

    I really hope not, neither appeal to me in any way. Although to be honest, I’m not sure where does (other than the Ricoh obviously). I’d probably prefer a smaller ground (Nuneaton, Rugby, Leamington etc) closer to Coventry than an established one where the facilities may be ready to go, but...

    Surely you were drunk when you posted this?

    Stadium Deadline

    No surprise, but it’s still tough to read it within an official statement. I’m quite a calm person, but it’s obviously an emotive topic and I must admit my hatred of the Council and Wasps is bordering on unhealthy. I’m also sick of idiots who STILL don’t get that this isn’t all on SISU and...

    Meyler and Bayliss

    I had the same thought. While it could be argued he’s been a poor signing in terms of contribution on the pitch as he’s looked massively off the pace, he’s had an influence behind the scenes by all accounts. With a full pre season behind him, he could be the experienced head we need and would...

    Rumour...

    As much as I absolutely don’t want it or approve, it’s unfortunately looking more likely we are going to have to ground share. I also appreciate that this time is different to last, as more people now see the abhorrent actions of the council in this mess. Both of those things are difficult to...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Bristol Rovers Match Thread - Sunday 7th Apr

    Disappointed to be missing today due to family commitments, especially as I think we’ll win. It’s inevitable JCH will score today, which will spark inane discussions on here about why we sold him. He’s an awful football with very few redeeming qualities required to be a good striker. Granted...

    Ground share will be a disaster

    Moving grounds is obviously a worst case scenario. I doubt even SISU would want to move, bearing in mind the detrimental impact it would likely have on income, and therefore more cost for them to cover. Unfortunately, we are at a point when the club has been used a chess piece and it’s about to...

    Clive Eakin - another council lackey

    Clive is ok, nothing more, nothing less, which to be honest isn’t really good enough. He’s a professional broadcaster and journalist, yet on numerous occasions he’s proved he can’t do the basics. My biggest objection to him, potentially unfairly, is that he isn’t a Coventry fan (or if he is...

    Match Thread Barnsley vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 30th Mar

    On our day we are capable of beating anyone. I’ve had the same message all season; play football, use our superior technical players and we’ll win. Barnsley suit us as they’ll play football and I doubt their pitch can be any worse than our embarrassment of one. I’d also drop Bayliss for...

    SISU Open Letter Reply to Council

    In an ideal world SISU wouldn’t be our owners. I think you’d struggle to find many who disagree. However, if at this point anyone is still under the belief they are solely to blame, they are either past saving or are still playing an increasingly obvious and now defunct agenda. The majority of...

    Council Open Letter to SISU

    The letter really is infuriating. If only CCC, SBT, Wasps and whoever else, put this much effort into rectifying the situation with SISU rather than this increasingly obvious collusion we might actually have got somewhere.

    Council Open Letter to SISU

    Do you actually even believe that statement yourself? I think if anything it’s the reverse.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Oxford United Match Thread - Saturday 23rd Mar

    Bit of a nothing game so far. No real flow to it. They look poor and we have dropped to their level. Up the tempo and start playing football and we’ll get a few. Their defence looks really vulnerable, especially against pace and movement. The gap between the defence/Kelly and the attackers is...

    Their centre backs look very vulnerable to runs behind. Definitely lacking in confidence. Fans around me getting impatient already. I really dislike part time fans who think they’re experts.

    Atmosphere seems positive. We’ve started positively too.
