    Ha! Way to go lads - Sunderland TLS

    I loved the line “Bright tossing about metaphorical grapes and luxuriating indolently on his cloud of elegant ease.” Really sums up the way he plays. I hope that we can sign him up for next season. Games like yesterday might mean he gets an offer from someone like Sunderland however.

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

    If we had taken our chances like that we would have walked the league. The performances have mostly been very good.

    Hang your heads in shame

    No,you’re wrong.I think all parties have contributed to this mess. However, I do think that Sisu are the worst of all the bunch involved. The tone of the posts on here, particularly the one highlighted, seem to be saying that they are not so bad after all. They have all lied and schemed to the...

    Hang your heads in shame

    Have a look at post 40, the general tone of this and other threads. It is almost like Sisu are the victims. The only party who has truly suffered throughout this mess is the club and its fans. There was one poster on a thread the other day saying he hoped that Sisu continued with the legal...

    Hang your heads in shame

    Fact - Under Sisu we have been relegated twice and last season, despite gaining promotion, finished in our lowest ever league position. Fact - Sisu took this club to Northampton effectively holding it ransom simply to distress ACL (see judge’s comments in JR 1). Fact - Last season’s average...

    Legals

    It would seem to me that they are using the legal system to distress first ACL and now Wasps. As others have said, this is battering people with court rather than in court. The fairness of their case seems to be secondary (if it is there at all) to their intention to keep their opponents tied...

    Stadium Deadline

    Brighton only played at Gillingham for two years. They were back in Brighton at the Withdean Stadium after that.

    If we move

    Didn’t Pressley say that playing at Sixfields made it harder to attract players?

    Last 100k crowd at Wembley? Probably not this, can’t think of anything else.

    So it begins....

    That was a great Cup Final though. Porterfield’s goal, Montgomery’s save from Lorimer. I bet most football fans were really pleased Sunderland beat Leeds. I know I was.

    David Busst article

    I go to the SBitC walking football. I love it. I am 62 next month and before doing this had given up any thoughts of playing football again. However, the sessions are competitive and there is the odd meety challenge (mostly accidental to be honest). At Finbarr's where two sessions a week are...

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

    Performances, as with today, have mostly been good this season. In a lot of games the results haven’t reflected how well we have played. I thought we were excellent today until we got to the box. The passing and movement at times was superb. We could and should have won in a canter. Some really...

    Butts

    All these people who now go to Wasps, at least the Coventry contingent, if they wanted to watch rugby, had they gone to Cov, they would have given the City’s own rugby club a fighting chance of reaching the top flight. Imagine what Cov could have achieved if they were watched by 6k or 7k each...

    Butts

    It can’t be easy though having Wasps in the City. People who aren’t committed to Cov, young boys or girls just getting interested in the sport will see a top flight team playing in Coventry and probably plump for them over a second division team. Look at the difference in facilities too. When I...

    Agents Fees

    Very harsh, particularly on Burnley who are a great club with a long top flight tradition including title wins as recent as the 1960s. They have an average gate of 20k in a town with a population of 70k. There is an argument that can be made that they are the best supported club in England based...

    Priorities

    I don’t think it has to be which do you love more, club or city. The city of Coventry would survive the Ricoh folding. The whole project from start to finish has been fraught with difficulties. The fact that the stadium inspired by and built for Coventry City is now in the hands of a franchise...
