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...

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.

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.

You are, it hit the post and Perry Suckling caught the rebound

I remember Donal Murphy kicking Kenny Burns in the preverbials and walking straight off before the referee could send him off.

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.

Not read all of this thread but does anyone know why we had two keepers on the bench. Apologies if this has been asked and answered earlier in the thread

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”.

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.

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...

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...

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.

Goalkeepers are in a unique position. If they make a mistake, very often it ends with a goal being conceded. No other position has such responsibility. If a defender makes a mistake, then the keeper may be able to retrieve the situation. If a striker misses an opportunity he may well get the...

Happy to have a go and donate, I’m assuming it’s not limited to a £10 donation?

There is an interview with Robins on “YouTube” 16 minutes long. It’s been posted by someone called “The Pink Un”. Never heard of him/her but the interview sheds light on the Palmer sale and other things. Much more informative than the BBC one.

I may be wrong or not upto date and would welcome the following being confirmed/updated. The Higgs centre originally owned by the Alan Higgs Centre Trust was sold to the Coventry and Warwickshire Award Trust who also owned the AT7 centre which I think no longer exists. Not sure if they still own...

I maybe wrong but I think they are using the heat lamps. If you go past the arena at night you can see the glow emanating from the lights.

There are six levels of hospitality. In order of price: Cheapest is “ The Mill” which is in front of the press boxes. Front 6-8 rows get wet when it rains. “Legends” which is the second block to the right of the directors and VP block( Centre block over the tunnel) “Club Coventry” which has the...

Collins played at Wimbledon and did nothing of note
