    Who's been to the fewest stadiums?

    Pretty paltry list for me in terms of Football & Coventry. Highfield Road Ricoh Stamford Bridge Ewood Park Sixfields Derby (new) Wolves (But that was for some conference, so does it even count?) Wembley (old) However I have moved away... Christchurch Stadium (under its various sponsor names)...

    I'd like to make sure I get this...

    I'd just like to get this whole sorry saga straight in my head. There just seems so much wrong with what has happened to Coventry City that I want to make sure I'm not missing anything; because I can't figure out how people are getting away with what they're doing. SISU kept failing to log...

    preferred bidder is sisu

    Really disappointed in this decision, but unsurprised sadly. I did discover that Joy Sepalalala is on a committee to do with company takeovers, could this have allowed some knowledge of the system to bring about a positive conclusion for SISU. I imagine it is old news for you more frequent...

    It's confirmed 10 points

    What really bugs me about this whole situation is that fans and the team have to shoulder the burden of financial mismanagement. All the reports I read and hear always drag the club's name through the mud. Yet it is the owners who have set up this whole situation, starting with BR and the...

    Comedians or entertainers you cannot stand

    Adding to the Jo Brand dislike list. Not necessarily the performers I dislike but the show: Flight of the conchords. I think I can be deported for saying that.

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    Lucy Brown, Primeval Before I moved to NZ I always thought Sophie Raworth was hot.

    Places where you've bumped into CCFC fans.

    Apart from the obvious (matchdays, club shop), where have you bumped into a fellow fan that is perhaps out of context or unexpected? Tuesday night I was at a Stone Roses concert in Auckland and next to me was a guy wearing the old brown away kit - there was not much opportunity to talk, but...

    Tea or Coffee

    Tea all the way - Well said WillieStanley Read on for boring fact... Went to a presentation, given by a tea grower from Sri Lanka who was looking at the NZ market, in Christchurch. Discovered that there is so much to tea - the same variety of plant can give different flavours depending on...

    Huddersfield confirm Robins in talks

    Pretty dissapointed about this news, but this is the modern football world we live in. I'd have hoped he'd stick around at least until the end of the season - 5 months is not very long.

    Last time I felt like this....

    Really enjoying this run, the on pitch stuff is phenomenal fantastic, it's been a long wait but for the first time in years I'm not dreading logging waking up Sunday morning and checking results. Mr Robbins, what a signing. Dare I thank SISU for that decision? SISU can still get lost BTW.

    Modern football owners and the manager merry-go-round: they make no sense.

    Free Radio report a Statutory Demand issued to CCFC

    Yet another blow. I wish that there was some way to separate the entity that is the club from that which is the owners, in a similar way that the monarchy is a separate entity from the monarch, that way if there is a poor monarch the monarchy remains intact, in theory. It is evident that poor...

    Never thought I would do it

    Spot on, same for me. The weekday evening (morning for me) games mean my first lesson classes get the brunt of my reaction to the result; a few have even taken to seeing how CCFC are going so they can be prepared for my moods. Last season I contemplated going to watch Wellington Phoenix in the...

    Brentford Match Thread

    Very disapointed to see the final score and I can only follow via the BBC Live text commentary so do not have all the facts. It seems that tonight we had all the possession and few chances as opposed to the County match where we created a lot of chances. The worry from here is the conceding of...

    Prediction League 2012 / 2013 Thread

    I wouldn't worry about it too much - by the end of the season those who are there or there-abouts will be those who put their predictions in each week consistently. I won the 2010/11 competition and was 10th in 11/12 and had some shocking weeks (much like I did this week).

    Mark Robins, a manager saying it like it is.

    From my reading of Robins' interviews I am thinking we may have a manager to stop the slide. I liked the fact that in the Oldham report he saw that 4-5-1 wasn't doing the job and changed formation: do we have a manager who knows what he's doing? Plus in these early stages he can tell people how...

    We Are Completely Bereft Of Confidence - Robins

    I think it's City that has the termian illness.

    Anybody else?

    Sad but true thread at this moment in time. I think that we may as well have a punt on a spotty Football Manager playing urchin to manage the team, could not be any worse. Perhaps a weekly CCFC sanctioned competition where the winner(or loser given how things are going) gets to take over as...

    You know when you're a City fan when... You put them down to lose in prediction league competitions (No, I am not proud just realistic).
