    For those that remember 1967

    Again from memory, Robins owned Banbury Buildings which made pre cast concrete garages amongst other things I guess. It was located on the Oxford to Banbury Road not far from the Sky Blues training ground. There is some business still on the site but not sure what it is. Incidentally, when...

    For those that remember 1967

    I was 10 when we got promoted to the old First division. I too ran on the pitch in that final game against Millwall. It was the first game I had been allowed to go to with my mates. Will live with me until I am no more. However, people seem to forget we became champions only on that day. Going...

    Reflecting on SISU

    At the time SISU were the only show in town. They insisted on having 90% of the shares handed over to them. Craigavon (Geoffrey Robinson 31,871)and Sir Derek Higgs 8,021) only held 71% of the complete share holdings (55,788) and to that end Joe Elliott was tasked with rounding up all of...

    Pre Season Friendlies

    They were in Melbourne and Sydney a week ago. I went to the Melbourne game. They played the second half with a complete 11 change. Won but were not impressive. Not sure how the Sydney game went.

    Item Tim Fisher’s old car?

    I remember Betty and Iris in the ticket office, along with Iris’s daughter Michelle the club receptionist. All no longer with us I believe, unless Betty is? Michelle sadly passed away before her mother did. All Club stalwarts back in the day.

    Spotting fellow Cov fans in the wild

    I have seen and met fellow sky blues in Mumbai and Melbourne (at test matches). Always gives a nice feeling to see fellow supporters whilst away from home.

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Below is an extract from the Premier League, I’m not sure if the EFL has the same rules “Deals can still be announced after the deadline. That is because clubs have a two-hour period after 23:00 BST to complete a signing, if they have submitted a deal sheet ahead of the deadline”.

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    My understanding is a player has to sign and the league to have ratified the move by 12 noon the day prior to a game taking place. That is Friday for a Saturday game.

    Less and less arsed

    I went to Norwich to watch the city twice in a week back in the naughties, one game in the league and the second in the cup 3 days apart. Awful weather, didn’t win either game but…. I am still going and not loosing interest. The fans that have started watching the team in the past seven years...

    Shouting/whistling at corners

    To be clear, the ball doesn’t need to be touching the line. When you stand directly over the ball and look, down part of the curvature of the ball has to be over the line. Which means because of the curvature of the ball you can see grass between the ball and the line. But the balls position...

    Worse Defences than ours?

    Just watching the Spurs, Liverpool game. It’s like watching us trying to defend. I know Liverpool are top of their league but Spurs were meant to be pushing for a top six position in the league and have a team worth many millions of pounds. Goes to show, no matter how much the players cost and...

    I was there that night. It was mayhem outside. They expected to win. The fog on the way home was absolutely horrendous. Took hours to get back.
