    Sittin with the home fans!

    Done it loads of times. No need to hide who you support either, as long as you are not flying colours and jumping up and down beating your chest. Just keep a balanced view of the game and show an appreciation for a couple of their players. Adopt a home fan as your best mate and things are not...

    Pleased to see no doom and gloom

    Walsall away is a tough fixture regardless of the starts by both sides. Glad to get the inevitable defeat out of the way to be honest. we have a good nucleus but still have weaknesses. An exceptional start could mask that and raise false expectation. So glad we have been grounded a little.

    Rugby World Cup not at the Ricoh

    Picking up the pieces is good business practice. In order to do this you have to be in the bidding in the first place.

    Midlands today

    I hate Wasps! But they can decorate their ground with badges how they like. Can I suggest that when we play there our fans are our badge...let's move on and up!

    BIGGEST club in the world

    In the 1970's Man United studied Glasgow Rangers as they couldn't understand how they were turning over so much money. Glasgow Rangers had a brand and copyright on their souvenirs. Where as any old Tom, Dick or Harry could churn out a Man United scarf and the club wouldn't earn a penny.

    this team V 1st season in league 1

    Okay so we can look back at the 2012/13 and judge them over a season. Today's team has played three matches so it is early days and could go either way. But I do feel this current team has a lot of head room, by that I man development potential. Not only can I see players developing during...

    Quick question

    Just another inconsistency in our ticketing operation. I know it won't inconvenience you too much, but it has caused a bit of stress and running around by family members; when it just shouldn't happen. I am not trying to bang the drum of negativity too much as things seem to be improving. But...

    BIGGEST club in the world

    Man Utd never got anywhere near as low as 10,000 in the 70's. You have to go back to 1949-50 and they got 12000 their average attendance was far higher. Coventry might be my club and in my blood but they have never been anywhere near the biggest club whatever criteria you use

    Boozer for Walsall

    Pubs and clubs are allowed to charge if they are providing some sort of entertainment....yes Sky Sports counts.

    Coventry City FC need 11,000 fans at every home game....

    Top 12 will see us maintain 11,500 average if not increase it. A team in the mix for top six over the season and you could see gates of 20,000 plus.

    nervous September 1st

    As TM said Maddison has only just learnt how to tie his boots. But he is a great prospect and should progress to at least Championship level, injuries permitting. We have two interesting comparisons at the moment in the club. Lamieras who has stepped down to this level, but ahead of him at...

    Walsall fan talking shite

    People have said this division is rubbish and we need to get out of it.....but that is reality. Any club worth its salt will want to be at least in the Championship. While we are on the subject of reality; this is our level, we deserved the relegation and have been here a few seasons now. In...

    What Is A True Cov City Fan ?

    Surely the most important thing is that 'you' consider yourself to be a fan. Once you have made that commitment, you don't care what anyone else thinks!

    gut feelings: name 3 OTHER(hehehe) sides that will challenge for the league 1 title

    Sheff United as expected. Gillingham are my suprise team and you can't help feel there are great things happening at Burton (they may fade as the season goes on though).

    Defensive mistakes

    Even the top teams get sloppy and give away silly goals. The important thing is we didn't lose our heads and won. yes there are lessons to be learnt, there will be individual mistakes, it will be a long season, it is still early days. But we do have the potential to hurt people and this group...

    Crewe - Guess the attendance

    Let's be honest, it is poor having a delayed kick off for 11 to 12 thousand supporters. the return to the Ricoh was a shambles ticket wise and 12 months on they are still struggling despite anticipating a big walk up last night. They need to sort this if they want fans to return. its bad...

    What Is A True Cov City Fan ?

    This sort of attitude over fan status, hardly encourages people to return and is not welcoming for the potential new fans. I think it is a load of bollocks personally. I would never knock anybody who turns up and supports the city. We need the die hards who turn up week in week out; but we...
