I see we've been allocated a referee who has no experience of The Championship. I can't decide whether that is an advantage for us, or not. Discuss.

I'm not sure that's correct. I seem to remember that the bus company - National Express (or 'Corporation' as we used to call them), wanted more money to lay the service on - despite charging a fair whack for using them, and the Club wouldn't subsidise them. I used to get the Pool Meadow to...

I assume this means that City have been told, by the 'Powers That Be', that the Sheffield Wednesday tie will definately not be on Sunday, or Monday. (beat me to it Macca) !!

No sign of 'The Vile' - which is lovely. Wish they were back in the 3rd Division, where they were in my formatitive years. Possibly one of reasons why I hate their 'entitled' fans so much.

Pretty sure it's just Grimsby and ourselves. While on the subject of Quiz Questions - Grimsby are in another 'rare group' - they don't play in their own Town. Their ground is in Cleethorpes.

The Rocket. Fun and games when the away crew tried to gain access, after coming off their train. It was a good place for a 'last pint' before getting the train to away games, as well.

The Club seem to have a major communications problem here. Judging by the censorous tone of the 'Stop Standing' message, there will be further sanctions for us, if it isn't adhered to. Yet all the players, plus the manager and coaching staff, when interviewed, go to extreme lengths to applaud...

No. Fully professional.

Doesn't sound like it.

You have to search for some of their worst attendances - but last season Wasps average was just UNDER 10k. I have no idea if that figure includes the 'freebies' or not. Cov Rugby were getting 3k (and none of the Premiership media hype, or CVC and RFU hand-outs) pre-pandemic.

Who? The bloke who kept us up and then got us into Europe ?

Sorry Earlsdon LB, you're wrong on that one. (apologies if it was a paraody 'wind-up' post) I worked in West Brom for many years - they get as annoyed as we would, if anyone calls them Brummies. It is only four miles from V*** Park, but there's an important border within that four miles. That's...

Now there's a decent pub ! Mine's a pint of Bass and let it settle a tad.

Apologies if someone has already mentioned this but ........ I've been watching THE goal over and over again. The leap by Osti, from almost a standing start, is amazing. He climbs way above his marker. He said (coming off the pitch) that he hopes to play in front of 'us' at some time. Are we...

I haven't been this anxious about a City match for years. Even the key games in League 2, League 1 and our Wembley visits. With the return to playing in Coventry, the players we have (and those we could easily sign for next season), the national focus on Coventry next year, plus continuing to...

I'm getting on at Solihull - don't live there, just easiest place to avoid crowds at Warwick and Leam. I'm on the 10:00 down and the 20:00 back. I've got my 'Otis Mask' ready, but it clashes with my green and purple jester's hat.

Just got my train tickets. Going by Chiltern as Cov station was a right mess for the 'Checkout' last year and is going to by far worse on Monday. All the Brummies going for a Bank Holiday dayout in London, from New Street and International, will be arriving by bus - right in the middle of where...

Sorry for the delay in replying, but how about one from our trips to Londo in the late sixties/early seventies :- "Went down to London win or lose, Picked on a Cockney, got chased by the screws, We all love women and we all love booze, We are the mental Sky Blues" or "Whose that knocking on...

I don't wish to p**s on anyone's chips (especially Mr Reid's), but if we are aiming to ground share at The Butts, the fact that CRFC aren't involved in the talks would seem a bit odd. Also, CRFC chairman Mr Sharpe clearly stated, in public and only a month or so ago, that there was "no way he...

We're on that one - Coach C Got to make it a full day, it's 30 years since I was last at Wembley. On which basis, I'll be a whisp of smoke above Canley Crem, by the time we next do it.
