I might buy that. I've already got Betty, from the ticket office, old Vauxhall Astra in the garage along with Simon's (the programme seller) old moped.

Not that it matters, but it's a model from 2011, when the chairmen were Ranson and then Dulieu?

I remember Betty and Iris in the ticket office, along with Iris’s daughter Michelle the club receptionist. All no longer with us I believe, unless Betty is? Michelle sadly passed away before her mother did. All Club stalwarts back in the day.

To be honest I plucked the name Betty out of the air. Perhaps it came from my subconscious memory.

LISTEN: Coventry City chairman Tim Fisher calls on fans to ‘get behind the team’ and stop Sisu out protests​

Coventry City chairman Tim Fisher has pleaded with supporters to abandon their protests and ‘get behind the team’.
The Sky Blues have been without a manager since September and are currently in the League One relegation zone.
The club’s hedge fund owners Sisu have been accused of ‘slowly poisoining us’ by former manager and life president John Sillett and fans are demanding they sell up.
They made their feelings clear during Thursday night’s defeat to Sheffield United by staging two pitch invasions.
But Fisher says supporters are damaging the club’s chances of moving clear of the bottom four with their protests - and wants them to stop.
In an exclusive interview with Jim White on talkSPORT, he said: "Supporters need to get behind the football team because we are down the bottom of the league, we need to get up the league and we are not going to do that by people jumping up and down chanting ‘Sisu out’.
“If you saw last night with the ‘Sisu out’ banners and the singing, the shoulders of the footballers slump forward. It does affect the psychology of the footballers.
“I’m not saying this is easy, it is challenging, but what we have got to do is get away from mixing the ownership of the football club with the football club.
“With regard to the supporters, I have had two sets of messages this morning. One saying, ‘I’m ashamed, I’m embarrassed to be a Coventry City supporter from what I saw last night’. Then there are those who are saying: ‘I’m impassioned, I’m so fired up, we should do more of these things’. Maybe the second lot didn’t see the little ball boys and ball girls who were frightened, who were crying.
“There are supporters who just want to come and watch football and we should be minded to think of them."
Directly addressing supporters, he added: “We are trying our best to get up the league. We are going to bring in a manager. We are going to make some changes to the squad.
“Where there is hope, there is a chance, and we are looking forward and can I please ask you, get behind the team. We have a very young team - they need your support.”
Fisher also claimed Sisu have invested £70million during their ownership of the club, discussed their transfer window plans and gave an update on their search for a new manager.



I didn’t say for the right reasons

Too quickly, I read ' I plucked Betty' and wondered where this was going...

You mean it was "Orange Ken" that had a private collection of cars including this Jag?

The bit that made me laugh was the owner's "extended periods abroad".

Back in the day, that was code for locked up.

In fairness to Orange Ken though, I don't think he got that look from Winson Green...

Hasn't somebody else well something at least,off course there's a proper old classic Jag kicking around that was involved with a substance find with a certain MP, hushed up of course.
That reminds me is the post of Postmaster General symbolic of the title or does it have genuine gravitas, I mean there's a case to answer there I think?

Not bad for a bloke who said he was not paid by CCFC or Sisu,
Yet he had enough money to have a private car collection.
Wow he really was full of shit!
Mind you some on here hung on his every word, even believed his we have 3 sites one preferred........
15000 big enough for this club.
