There appears to be some paranoia about paranoia here...

Although the mailing list to discuss a new club was an interesting consequence for something with so little support...

You should have joined it and you'd have seen how quickly the above conclusions were reached! The truth is invariably far less exciting than wild accusations of hidden agendas

To join a mailing list to discuss setting up a club that has no support to set up would have been a very odd thing for me to do

This is however detracting from the main point, that I was backing you up about there being no hidden agenda re: Sphinx!

Anyway, won't be going myself, mainly because I've been in bed all Christmas with a fever, so as a big wuss, not standing out in the cold and wet to get ill again.

Old wives tale with no basis in actual facts.

"Colds and flu are caused by viruses. They do circulate during cold-weather seasons, but you're more likely to pick them up inside than out. In fact, going outside and getting more physical activity—and not just during cold and flu season—may help prevent sickness."

Preventing would be fine, how about once there?

If you find something that says I'll get better quicker by standing out in the wet and wind than lying in bed in a toasty house watching re-runs of Bullseye, I'll be there

Don't know what others thought but that's the third time I've been and the standard of football is much better than I expected (although I had very low expectations) and today was a really good game with Sphinx getting a hard fought but deserved 3-1 win. It's friendly, low key and post-match M&B mild is a personal favourite. For anyone who wants to watch a game in Coventry it's well worth giving it a try. Just need same result for CCFC tomorrow!

Ashley Cain,at least i think It was him shone In the second half ,young Ricky Fletcher at Center Half released by the under 18's In the Summer .They seemed to Improve playing up the slope In the second half ..

A message for every one who Is considering going this way In the future ,Its not an amazing spectacle but was enjoyable .Clubs such as Spinx and Alvechurch who they were playing today only exist for and through the love people are willing to put into them,any AFC teams are going to require that before anger /frustration /getting even If they are to survive long term.

In answer to CCFCWAY I could'nt really tell ,every one was In dark winter clothing ,hazard a guess at 15-20 but that Is just a guess

Rico Taylor .Found It quite ironic hearing one of their fans shouting Rico do this do that throughout the match.

----------------------------
Coventry Sphinx kept up their run of good performances with a 3-1 Midland Alliance League victory over Alvechurch

With Carl O'Neill back in goal, Sphinx, in their final game of 2013, went looking for their ninth unbeaten game in a row on a sunny afternoon at Sphinx Drive.

Luke Hopkins side did not start well and were a goal down inside four minutes when Jack Cresswell hit a tame twenty- yard shot, which squirmed past O'Neill and into the net.

Sphinx came back with a corner three minutes later that was hacked away. Alvechurch had a corner as did Sphinx in the 15th minute. Then, Ashley Cain hit a post with a shot deflected for a corner and Cutting had a shot pushed away by Brady.

On the half mark, Sphinx won a corner that was cleared. Now trying to take the game to Alvechurch, Sphinx attacked again and the ball fell for Rickie Cutting to score in the 34th minute from inside the area with a low shot past Brady.

Both sides had chances but after Aden Moore had come on, Sphinx started to press winning two corners in the 69th minute.

Alvechurch had a great chance in the 71st minute when Shearer got down the left and sent the ball over for Cresswell to fire over.

But Sphinx were a long way from being done and in the 74th minute, a brilliant ball fell for Rickie Cutting who kept his cool and picked his spot to score with a low finish, delighting the crowd which included a number of Coventry City supporters.

Then in the second minute of stoppage time, Alvechurch won a corner that was cleared upfield. An Alvechurch defender tried to play it back to Brady who completely missed a ball which fell for Aden Moore to stroke in to the empty net and give Sphinx another win in a highly entertaining game.

I enjoyed my afternoon at the sphinx, meet four or five people who I haven't seen for a couple of years and it was nice to be back on familiar territory.
The crowd was around 140, which was considerably smaller than I had expected,but still around double previous attendances (pre Sixfields) . The match was competitive and enjoyable, with Sphinx worthy of the win, Ashley Cain was the main threat and his extra ability was apparent throughout.
A number of fellow sky blues were evident due to numerous Coventry hats, scarfs ect being evident.
In conclusion a good afternoon with a couple of mates watching football in Cov, could Sphinx replace CCFC in my heart ? Never , but I will not enter Sixfields under ANY circumstances, so it may be The Sphinx on a few more occasions.

Happy New Year to all (as long as you don't go to Sixfields)

WestEnd - I think this sums it up perfectly!

It won't be Rotherham/Barnsley, but anyone know if Coventry Sphinx's match tonight is on/off? I really miss the atmosphere of ccfc night games, always seem special somehow
