    You can still. There are beer tents, but they have open seating areas. Nowt stopping people having a beer in the sun. Also restricted now and no under 18's allowed into the drinking areas.

    True. Good idea though. The dark days included a bit of an aggressive atmosphere and some trouble. They now have two nominated beer tent areas. Much better these days for sure.

    The band I would really love to see at the Godiva is The Ramones. Be helpful though if they weren't all dead.

    Thank God for that! :whistle: Got me worried for a mo there. I remember the bad old days of the Godiva Festival when we had the likes of Showaddywaddy and the Syd Lawrence Orchestra there. Must say I think the line up is vastly improved these days.

    If you listed all the good bands and artists that had played Glastonbury would you include Rolf Harris and Dolly Parton? Don't get your point. At no point did I set out to list all artists that have played the Godiva, just listed some of the bands that have had critical acclaim over the years...

    Happy Mondays

    They've had some really good bands over the years. Even if they are bands you don't like, you can't question the success and the critical acclaim they have had. Buzzcocks were a great band, Human League, Idlewild, Echo and the Bunnymen, Ash, Super Furry Animals, Mercury Rev, The Cooper Temple...

    Transfers (according to an accurate source so far )

    Yeah, but he has to deliberately throw in a few red herrings in there doesn't he, just to stop people finding out his real identity.

    You're going to watch a band and then on to Sixfields to watch City play in a friendly? :thinking about:

    I have 3 nieces all in their 20's and they just can't be bothered, even if there is a band they like. It is a bit of a long hard trek though up that mountainous, exhausting Memorial Park isn't it!!

    Tell you one thing that really annoys me about the people of Coventry and it's how many of them don't even know what the Godiva Festival is or that it's on. Hear time and time again people in town saying 'what's that then?' Someone in CEX yesterday was saying the same thing. The assistant was...

    Missed yesterday, but caught The Selector and Buzzcocks on Friday night and will be there again today for the Lightning Seeds.

    Holland vs costa rica

    Should have been made to stay on his line and not come and approach every kicker to have words with them. It is indeed gamesmanship and not in the right spirit and shouldn't be allowed.

    Bournemouth - your having a laugh

    Can't see how you can argue we are a big club on the back of the attendances we are now getting and the low league placings we have had for many many years whichever division we have been in. We are no longer a big club. We used to be, we are no more. We can be again of course, but we need...

    Bournemouth - your having a laugh

    More successful? :thinking about: Old First Division champions twice, runners up six times. FA Cup winners twice. Preston North End. Can't talk on past glories. Sounds just like a Wolves fan I used to work with, banging on about Wolves being the best team in the country. When was he...

    Bournemouth - your having a laugh

    As I alluded to in my post, I am not being at all arrogant and pointed to our decline, which clearly shows that we are not a big club at the moment and Bournemouth are indeed a bigger club. It's time for City fans to face the reality that we are just a very average League One side and now that...

    Haven't quite read the whole thread as it went off tangent slightly, but am I right in saying we have sold Callum Wilson and brought in the Kray Twins on loan?
