    I'm 28. I wasn't born so I'll ask the question. On the way home from Hillsborough, in the car, were you feeling slightly better than you do now?

    CROWD CONTROL AT COVENTRY STATION ON SUNDAY APRIL 2nd

    I've got a feeling a lot will be on the the 0851. Doubt they'll be checking tickets or be able to! Expecting to be stood for the duration.

    Given the gaffer the tin tack. Wouldn't surprise me if McClaren is the favourite for the job!

    Said & Done

    Former Russian FA head Anatoly Vorobyov, who intervened in 2014 when Rostov coach Igor Gamula linked his black players to Ebola and told the press: “We’ve got enough black players, we’ve got six of the things and you want me to sign a seventh?” Vorobyov: “It’s clear Gamula is not racist. He was...

    Oxford have singing section

    Agree. What makes it worse is the two recent Scotland games have produced the best atmosphere we've had for years bar the odd blip. For example when Rooney broke Charlton's record it was good for a few minutes. There's been some somber moments where I've been proud to be there though. The way...

    Oxford have singing section

    From looking at their seat map the lower is pretty much sold out. A few dotted around but most are singles. They'll be opening the upper soon.

    Wembley Merchandise

    They're acceptable to wear on the street. Wigs, jester hats, etc aren't. Sorry if I've offended anyone by what I've said. I just hate what football is becoming. It's turning into an overpriced, commercial obsessed, afternoon out. I'm all for making it fun for the kids but what I see week in...

    Wembley Merchandise

    The mugs and coasters aren't too bad. The shirts are ok too and cheap enough. I can see why someone would want one as a keep sake or to wear whilst they're digging the garden or tiling the bathroom. Why on earth would anyone above the age of about 14 want a jester hat, foam finger and/or wig...

    Wembley drinking holes

    They'll be 40,000 City fans down there. Just go into any bar and you'll find some City fans. We've got the Wembley Central side not Wembley Way so got some good bars. Green Man, Liquor Station, JJ Moons etc. The Globe is also a good one and as Baker St is on the Bakerloo it's on the way through...

    Could be worse......could be an Arsenal fan

    Three things that are key: Most expensive season tickets in the world. £150m in the bank partly due to this. Wenger is on 163 grand a week/8.5m a year. It's getting embarrassing. Most of their fans would accept a few seasons like United are having in a transition. At the moment the board don't...

    Trust Members Meeting WIth Tim Fisher

    Firstly there are only really 3 organisations that could potentially be owed a significant sum and force administration. HMRC and there's no evidence to say they haven't been paid. ACL Wasps but we're still at the Ricoh atm and SISU/Fisher are not stupid enough to go down that road again surely...

    Trust Members Meeting WIth Tim Fisher

    1. The SBT would not buy the club. The fans, people & businesses of Coventry and the surrounding area would. Just like Wycombe, Exeter, Bayern Munich, Wimbledon, Portsmouth, Wrexham and many others are. Swansea are another well known example but their situation has changed recently. The Trust is...

    Ricoh logo covered up at stadium

    In 2015 Ricoh agreed to pay a token amount until a new sponsor was found. It was estimated that to de-Ricoh the place it'd cost around 40% of what it would to change everything so ACL decided that was the best way forward. It does seem to be dragging which is odd. I doubt Ricoh are bothered...
