The Pink was quality and a must buy on a Saturday evening.
However, with the internet offering instant match reports I would fear that there wouldn't be the take up needed to make it a profitable venture.
I remember coming home from games, going up the chippy and getting a pink and a bag of chips. the good old days. Always exciting to get a copy on wednesday i think it use to be where they use to show the sunday league games, been in there a few times :wave:
8 years is a decent bump of a thread!Anybody remember it? Newspaper released on a Saturday night with the Coventry city match reports from earlier in the day. Well the editor of the Coventry telegraph is evaluating on twitter if it would be worthwhile bringing back. He is asking for ideas so if you are on twitter, tweet some with the hashtag #thepink. If you don't have twitter, post your ideas here and I will relay them on.

Anyone remember the guy at Cov train station selling it when we got back after an away game,Black/Half cast guy?8 years is a decent bump of a thread!
It’s an appeal for any old copies of The Pink that people may have tucked away, probably because they were in it!
Next Thursday (Nov 28) from Midday - 2pm there is a Sporting Memories event at The Transport Museum. Its to look back on the factory era of amateur sport in Coventry. Those of you old enough will remember when the factories all had sports grounds and sport teams.
The organiser Vanessa Pearson is looking for copies of the Pink. The focus is more on the inside pages where the reports and scores of factory sport leagues were featured.
If anyone has any copies of The Pink or any photos of teams, grounds etc from those days please contact Vanessa - vpearson@cvlife.co.uk.
Any other memorabilia would be welcomed for display.
It’s a free event and it would be great to get people from that era together again.
