    Will we challenge

    We will be three points clear at the top by Christmas, with a game in hand. The rest, in years to go, will be history.

    Seventh signing - Peter Vincenti

    Exactly what I was thinking. Seems a very similar player. I don't know why people don't like Andy Rose. Got in the box, and was about the only player that would move around and lose their marker and get to the ball in set pieces.

    How close is a takeover really...?

    Maybe they've realised that if it is a good investment for someone else, then it is also a good investment for them. The best way to get a good return on thier investment is to run the club properly. With the appointment of Mark Robins they seem to be doing this. If there had been a new owner...

    ST sales

    I renewed mine after midnight when the seats I had been waiting for came available. Gives me the chance to move away from the chap who sits behind me, does nothing but moan all game, so is probably a poster on here.

    Players leaving

    i can't believe there isn't a thread on this already. Ryan Haynes and Dion Kelly-Evans amongst those offered new deals at the Sky Blues... Coventry City have announced they will be releasing nine players at the end of the 2016/17 campaign. Nathan Clarke, Kevin Foley, Vladimir Gadzhev, Andy...

    Relegation Play-Offs

    I think it's a good idea. The more teams with something to gain/lose in the final weeks of the season, the better. Promotion playoffs makes teams currently about 10th still have a glimmer of hope. Relagation playoffs would keep the bottom 10 or so on their toes.

    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    I'm quite likely to buy a season ticket for me and the wife agin, but would be more likely to do so if we didn't have to listen to that twat who sits behind me and does nothing all match except moan about Lee Burge. He also goes on about Tudgay but I don't disagree with him on that one. Burge...

    A Day we will never forget - Enjoy!

    Don't post much on here, but thanks. Great memories of a great day. Even my wife was welling up.

    Leaving 2 players up on Corners etc

    Loved this. Also signals before the corner gave the Impression that we had practiced something and were organised. Closest to scoring from a corner for years. Loved the low cross into the box. Finally look like we have a plan, and not playing like under 12s, just seeing what will happen...

    New potential site for our new stadium

    They would have to stop the trains from stopping at the station in case anyone tried to use them. Massive overcrowding safety issue.

    Heard your fans want Bradley Lowery to lead you out at Wembley . . .

    Very good, and good luck to the lad. However I'm sure we have a similar local child whose family aren't quite as good as social media and is just as deserving. (I don't know of anyone but statistically there must be, let's find him/her and give them the day of their life.) Or even a group of...

    Checkatrade Final Rant

    It's amusing to watch the people wanting a 40,000 strong SBA at Wembley moaning about fans coming out the woodwork.

    Time to buy a white van and give them a delivery they won't be expecting.

    Investment on the Horizon?

    Except as the freehold owner you can do a lot more things. As leaseholder you need the permission of the freeholder to make changes etc. The Council just don't like to give up control of anything, which is one of the reasons the city centre has never been a success. Control freaks, always...

    Investment on the Horizon?

    I frequent the hospitality areas in a lot of the away games and Lord Leigh is often around. He has some money and some land. I get the impression that he has been writing chequers for a bit. Just saying.

    Match Thread Coventry v Rochdale Match Thread - Saturday 22nd Oct

    5-0. I remember my school days. Rochdale were always the team that finished bottom of Division Four (age clue there) but never got relegated as whoever was due to come up, their stadium wasn't good enough.

    Far cup draw

    Another new ground for me too. Excellent.

    Tim Fisher

    I was in the corporate section when a fan started on about his tattoos and how much he loved the club etc. TF was polite and chatted to the fan until the fan became abusive and the insults personal. Maybe next time I'll chat to him myself and try and work out what is what. Interestingly, the...
