    Match Thread Coventry City - Charlton Athletic Match Thread - Saturday 29th Nov

    Got to assume BTA will be out and still to early for Wright so Simms needs to do 90 mins again- at least there is a weeks break after Charlton. Allows Simms a decent rest and hopefully at least a bench start for Wright at Ipswich. Can see KKH coming in for Milan and Tats gets a rest somehow but...

    Matchday Ticket Prices

    Do we think Doug has started something here and given permission for other owners to charge £45ish regularly now?

    Attendances

    Felt like there were more West Brom than they had anticipated. Block 9 started nearly empty but clearly a few had decided to migrate there to give the baggies fans some grief.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    On purely architectural terms it’s a horrible design . a clunky and crude bolt on of stuff that doesn’t fit within a football stadium . Missing the massive irony of trying to replicate industrial Birmingham which this development is sweeping away. I suspect Americans have been involved in the...

    Podcast Ep 67 - That Richard Overson Interview

    The point was that most people would have made a donation and left it at that- Overson clearly wanted a level of control over his investment. Without that the club probably would never have bought the ipads.

    Podcast Ep 67 - That Richard Overson Interview

    For a lot of us having money to chuck at the club would have just been swallowed up in player wages or paying debts. Where Overson made a difference was having the experience and contacts to do tangible things like fixing up Ryton , buying IPads etc Glad looking back we didn’t end up with a...

    Match Thread Coventry City v WBA Sat 22nd November 25 12.30 KO

    Yes . Since 4th October when we beat Sheff Weds and haven’t been knocked off since. Results went our way after the Friday loss to Wrexham.

    Couldn’t they have at least used the retro Hightfield Rd font that’s been reborn at Ryton?

    Robin’s Take On The Game

    Quite happy this has happened. Felt like we were always tip toeing around Robins ( and he us as well) and now we don’t have to. Lets us get on with treating Stoke like any other club but still recognising Mark for what he did. The tone when we beat Stoke at home last season was quite...

    Frank Lampard and CCFC - The Athletic

    Remember that season- they seemed to be miles ahead . Still made the playoffs in 4th a bit like Sunderland but they went out in the semi final. We finished in our traditional 18th place

    I think it was Linnell who desperately would say it would be nice to hear from callers WHO HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN AT THE GAME.

    Loan watch

    Wondering if he was watching on Tuesday night thinking back to a year ago and what might have turned out to be the highlight of his career.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    I used to like Prolapse and the Princess Charlotte was a fantastic venue many years ago. Not much of a musical legacy though apart from that Crusty period with Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead which is best forgotten.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    Because the story they really wanted was Blues/wrexham “fairy story” to continue add to that the old pals act from their pundits supporting one of the ex prem clubs - eg Sunderland last year.

    The Enemy at CBS

    I was sceptical but the club pulled it off. Amazed to see the ground full 20 minutes before a kick off. Didn’t affect the minutes silence either. Also 4000 shirts at £45 - even after the enemy presumably take a cut and assuming we pay circa £10 a shirt at cost then a nice easy £100k in the bank.

    He was and he had acres of space in the Vic position and should have done much better .

    Championship thread 25/26!

    Exactly - we get judged by different standards. Most of the teams that get promoted have to grind it out for large parts of the season and it’s not always pretty. I would say one bad game and a quarter of Tuesdays game is not representative of our season when you look at our results and goal...

    Wright was in a similar position in the first half when he could have gone himself or delivered a great pass and instead just chipped a woeful ball directly to the keeper

    Championship thread 25/26!

    I’ve noticed there is a lot of this chatter at the moment- Championship is poor quality , anyone can beat anyone etc just because Licester, Blues, Blades, Southampton, Ipswich , Wrexham not in the top 6 Leicester should know as this argument was used against them when they won- worst prem ever...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sheffield United Match Thread - Tuesday 4th Nov

    Small point from last nights game …Ref noticed every single time Sheffield encroached 5-10 yards on their throw ins and told them to get back. Player duly moved back and then under the full observation of the Ref, just carried on taking the extra distance. Must have happened 3 or 4 times.
