I'm the same as you, I have been watching Coventry since 1958/59 season. Old 4th Division. We have always had our downs but nothing like this season. BUT the season is not over yet, and everything could change tonight against Leeds.

I don't agree that he is lucky. Over the last 15 years there has been nothing but disappointment. Maybe the odd high, like winning at Old Trafford in the cup. But those of us, er, older ones at least we have 1987 and the year we finished 6th - so long ago, I forget the year!

Your right, it could get fooking worse .sisu seem to want to plumb new depths. I don't no where we go if we get tonked tonight. I think even the players will throw the towel in. there is managed decline and then there is mismanaged decline,then there is sisu. Im keeping my eye open for a big piece clearing her throat .

Had many scary moments over the past few decades but never experienced CCFC so far adrift (8pts) of safety at this stage of the season and with most teams around us with games in hand (Doncaster 2, Forest 1)
Closest to it could be the season (85/85) when we had to win the last three games to stop up - and we did - safety by one point !!!
Stoke A Won 1-0
Luton H Won 1-0
Everton H Won 4-1
Incidently that season we averaged just 12,862 gates with seven games falling below 10,000 !!!
Current average 14,000 ish - makes you think.

Watched them for over 40 years and I can't remember a season worse than this one.

Statistically the worst season was 1919-20 when we got just 29 points (under the old 2 pts for a win), they won 9, lost 22, drew 11 out of 42 games. They stayed up that year, finishing 3rd bottom, apparently after bribing the opposition. (Don't let the plastic geordies hear about that!)
The worst with 3 pts for a win was the prem relegation year with 34 points - W8, D10, L12 out of 38 games.

That will be under serious threat this year even though we play more games in this league.

Worst season bar none was relegation in 2000/2001.
The season we lost top flight status after 34 years. We may never get back!

Never???? I think we will eventually. If Wigan & Blackburn can maintain Premier League clubs then we certainly can.

The annoying thing is this predicament we are currently in is avoidable, still is. But there's no will from Sisu

Worst I can remember. (Since I started supporting them in 1963)
