Well, the season is over. Cant believe it. Its gone so fats. Feels like yesterday i walked off the coach in the car park at Crawley. And this is the part of the year i hate, May-August, the close season. So for this weeks Cooks Quesiton, we'd like to know how you plan of passing the time from now until the new season. Im guessing gardening and knitting arent high on the agenda. Is the world cup the only thing going this summer? Maybe some cricket. Formula 1 is in full swing too. Or god forbid, spending time with the family. Haha just kidding. But we'd love to hear from you. This weeks Cooks Question will also stretch to next week, so theres no rush, but if you'd like your answer to be in this weeks show, please make sure your answer is in by 11.30 Thursday morning. Thanks again for your support. Sports Lounge kicks off at 10AM on Hillz (98.6) so tune in if you can for 2 hours of sporting news and views and some good music too

Peru home game in a couple of weeks. Lanzarote a month later & Cornwall a couple of weeks after I come back from there. Tour de France in Yorkshire and Commonwealth Games. Pre season & start of the season. Then Switzerland, Estonia and Scotland away. Might be at a couple of Moto GPs for work too. Busy few months!

Peru game for me as well then sat on the sofa watching the World Cup. Have been losing interest in cricket the last few years so probably won't bother with that, the form of the England team and the change to Birmingham Bears I think are the final straws for me.

I'm retired and have spent the last year touring the uk in my vw camper. Unrestricted by having to be home for CCFC home games. Picked up a few away games on my travels and current on North Yokshire Moors but missed Sheffield Utd.

In answer nothing different. World Cup hopefully on normal Tv as do not have Sky sports on my travels.

My former football time and money is now invested in restoring my classic car.
At least I now get to see some results for my money!

Work is hectic at the moment so busy with that, then just going to (hopefully) enjoy the weather this summer, work on my race car, and plan on where my season ticket will be next year ......... CCFC at the Ricoh, or Coventry Rugby at BPA.

Forgot to add that I'll try to complete the 91. Last minute trip to the Amex tonight against Derby leaves another 19.

I've been to Luton (not doing that dive again) so them coming up with Rovers & Torquay dropping out also reduces it by one. Fingers crossed that Cambridge do too.

Golf, some more golf and then a bit more after that. Work, trip to Cornwall for some surfing and rounded off with Bestival. To be honest I'm sick and tired of all the shitty goings on off the pitch and on the pitch isn't much better so looking forward to a summer of other things to occupy me and the family. Not really bothered with the JR in so much that nothing will be resolved quickly and I don't see CCFC benefitting from it, just lawyers and suckers who will be looking for ammunition to use against others on this board.

Off work for nearly 3 weeks now. All this time will be spent on 2 of my cars. My little blue one you can see is going to become a track monster. Should get my latest one back today. LPG converted Grand Voyager. Will cut my fuel bill right down so a good reason to get more games in ;) Then back to work until last two weeks of July where we will be in Switzerland, Italy and then finish off in Monaco.

Will be back for the start of the season. Just need to see what games coincide with my days off. Work shifts so work weekends a lot of the time :(

I don't have SKY and live very well thanks very much.....

I hate SKY and all that its contributed to our national game......If there is a game I really want to watch, I'll go to the pub.....where hopefully they are stealing it via a foreign channel....

Football on TV used to be special.....now its just reached saturation point & is invariably shit.....


Summed up perfectly right here....

I'm 100% going to Boro and Newport. Touch and go whether im going Bristol cus i leave for Cornwall the next day

We're doing Woolacombe in Devon now not Cornwall. Oddly we're going the day after Bristol too! Probably drive down and then continue on the day after or get the train to Bristol and get picked up by the mrs' parents.
