    Match Thread Coventry City - Colchester United Match Thread - Saturday 21st Oct

    This division is all about capitalizing on defensive mistakes, but to stand a chance of that you have to get shots on target to start with. Any shot from any distance on target has a chance of leading to something either a goalkeeping error or defensive cock up. To go through a home game with...

    The Old Black

    That was my first replica kit i brought through a magazine. I bet St. John got a bit of stick going back there, did they boo him much?

    Relegation

    Yes me too, going do to the bottom league will make our rise through the ranks even more incredible. If we keep the side together, add and strengthen in a few positions, and have a good start, the crowds will come back in their droves because the fans will support success, whatever division...

    Clubs to Vote in May wether Checkatrade Trophy Should Be Scrapped

    Why would they want to scrap it? A record crowd for the final, would have been so different though if two u21 sides have got there though. So scrap the u21, bring in the conference teams and make it a straight knock out 72 teams, preliminary round of 16 ...first round proper of 64, 5 rounds to...

    Walsall game - throw the doors open!

    errrr well if it starts before the game is actually finished and the game is subsequently abandoned then there will be consequences. If it happens after the game has finished then im sure the league wont give a toss.

    Walsall game - throw the doors open!

    If there's a pitch invasion and sit in then those concerned will get life bans, the team will get docked points to start next season and will have to play several games behind closed doors. Anyone thinking of this cause of action should seriously think of the consequences before acting and if...

    Robins

    I'm really enthusiast about next season, even be it in div 4. If we can keep our key players and improve on a few positions im sure we'l be in for a good season. All we need is a decent kit that makes us look physically challenging and a ground that will harness the atmosphere the city crowd can...

    What a day

    Don't know which was worse, the last 45 mins of the car journey watching the minutes tick away as we were caught in horrendous traffic and coming to terms with the prospect of maybe missing the start and after 30 long years missing the best bit of any final as the players come out on the...

    Fans Behind The Goal

    I was dead in line with the half way line and up with the gods and I must say the singing of the 'in our Coventry homes' was amazing and seem to be taken up by all sections of the City support. I've been to many an international and indeed there in1987 but I cant remember actual songs song as...

    Negativity ban.

    Totally agree, its going to be hard enough for the younger players to walk out into a frenzy 70, 000 crowd without freezing so the last thing they need is any neg waves pouring down from the stands. I'll still be singing even if we get hammered, so lets support the City of Coventry and it people...

    Making our feelings clear at Wembley

    Every body, certainly in this country knows our plight. When I tell people who I support their response is always......"oh yeah, your the ones with the sh*t owners right?" Causing havoc at wembley will alienate people from their symphyses. Wembley and having games abandoned is not the answer.

    Making our feelings clear at Wembley

    Any disruption to the match would be severely punished by the FA.The last thing we want is to go into next season on minus 10 points or playing behind closed doors.

    EFL Trophy final- our potential as a club

    I agree completely. If we were to do well next season and have a decisive match against another performing club, the fans would flock back in their thousands. People love a match that has something at stake , whatever the division ...or cup. Secondly, a lot of those finals were played at...

    32,000 sold already

    Yes but its still amazing considering this is all coming on the back of the worst season in the clubs history and following the worst two league performances. Just imagine how many we could have sold if we had been looking down from the top of the table instead. We probably could have filled the...

    Last caller on the phone in

    Yes, in the final there will be 40,000 people baying for their blood if they don't put a shift in. The vast majority of them, like me it has to be said, wont have seen City for a number of years and will be expecting some sort of organized football team. I'm more than a bit worried that if we...

    Match Thread Coventry v Southend Match Thread - Tuesday 14th Mar

    Phil Brown read the riot act after last Saturdays performance which he says was disgusting. He intimated that a few players were scared of going up a division , presumably incase they had to play harder, or not be deemed good enough to be offered contracts. This will either have the effect that...

    32,000 sold already

    Really confused. I've brought , area 527, block 227, row 20, seats 8&9, but in block 227 which is below 527 the rows only seem to go up to 16 on one map i looked at. Is there a site anywhere where you can put in your seat number and see the view you'l be getting?.
