Yes I loved them too.
Worked at the Coachmakers Makers in the early 80s it has just been knocked down and a massive medical centre is rising from its ashes.
I think that “medical” centre is some sort of religious temple or centre unless it is both.
Talking the supporters club it’s days were numbered when it was kicked out of the Sky Blue stand around the 1980s I think for ccfc to put in its own club which was hardly used other than match days where when it was the supporters club it was bustling throughout the week. ironic thing was it was the Coventry City supporters club who funded the what was new stand around 1963/64 time.
Nice chap Derrick Robins or it could have been his son Peter.

My Mum mentioned a few years ago that Black Sabbath performed at WSC, late 60's/very early seventies.
We were all a little dubious about this as Mum is/was neither a rocker or is very good with precise fact.
However, she said she remembered the singer emerging from a coffin that had been carried onto the stage to a background recording of tolling bells.
That detail alone caused a few eyebrows to be raised as we (some family members are into rock music) can imagine Ozzy's grand entrance, early days being not too far removed from that.
Or maybe she actually saw Screaming Lord Sutch or Screaming Jay Hawkins.

Was a member at Coachmakers for years until my dad passed away never went there again, club was always packed. My dads mate Billy Lane World champion angler was a member there I used to love sitting by him as a kid on most Sundays taking in his fishing stories.
If there was ever a campaign to set up a supporters club near the Ricoh and lay some proper roots, I would be happy to chip into a crowd fund.
It’s a shame nobody can make a crack of the old Rowley’s Green. Perfect spot for a Roost Mark 2.
