What is there as a Cov Fan to be positive about ?

This season and the hope of promotion.

 

[skybluesam66]

weve just had our best position in the league we were in in a decade, and 3 decades since we bettered it
We would hope for further improvement this year
4 weeks to the new season
6 weeks until we will be singing we are top of the league
9 weeks before the Mowbray out campaign starts :-(

 

[afan4life]

so basically 'Hope' then

 

[ajsccfc]

Success without hope would be matchfixing.

 

[Samo]

so basically 'Hope' then

Yes, mostly the hope that people will stop making silly, negative, depressing threads like this one.

 

[the rumpo kid]

WE ARE CITY.

a simple 'I have nothing because there is nothing' would have sufficed

 

[Nick]

First pre season game tomorrow!

 

[Samo]

a simple 'I have nothing because there is nothing' would have sufficed

But that would not have conveyed the message that the thread is negative and depressing.

 

[afan4life]

First pre season game tomorrow!

5 a-side?

 

[Nick]

5 a-side?

Why would it be?

 

[afan4life]

Why would it be?

lack of depth in squad maybe

 

[ajsccfc]

We've got more than five players you silly billy.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

We are not Aston Villa!! Got to be reason enough to be happy.

 

[Nick]

lack of depth in squad maybe

It is the 1st pre season game, hadn't we only signed Ricketts this time last year?

This season we can probably count Gadzev as a new player as well.

We can put a squad out for the 1st friendly, we just need 5 or 6 more ideally.

The challenge should maybe be not to over exaggerate it

We might play the champions of the premier leagues reserve team in a cup game away at their stadium!!

Can't wait for my 'Leicester City B v Coventry City' half & half scarf!

 

[Brylowes]

We're always able to get a ticket.

 

[oldskyblue58]

despite all the crap that has gone on we are still here, we still have a team to support, that's the biggest positive

play some decent football in the right manner, compete to the best of our abilities, win more than we lose and most fans will see that as a positive too

 

[Otis]

so basically 'Hope' then

Without hope there is nothing.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Without hope there is nothing.

Be careful what you wish for. :jawdrop:

 

[clint van damme]

you can wear our lack of success and issues with poor owners and the council like a badge of pride smugly trotting out cliches about grass roots football and supporting your local team safe in the knowledge that the continual crushing disappointment will stand you in good stead for all the real shit you'll experience in the actual real world.

 

[robbieray]

When the season starts everyone will be happy .....maybe

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Football (CCFC) is one of my guilty pleasures outside of family life and work. I look back on our proud and not so proud history with a dogged 'it's my team and I'm not going to turn against them ever - even when they tick me off' I intend to try and live as long as he upstairs will allow me ,to enjoy watching my son grow and 'enjoy'any extra seasons that will offer that small glimmer of success somewhere along the way.

 

[dongonzalos]

Jones the most exciting prospect in the division

 

[afan4life]

Jones the most exciting prospect in the division

[BackRoomRummermill]

Jones is a bawbag then

I will never learn. Been a Cov fan since the mid 90s pretty much every year bar the first 5or6 have ended in disappointment. Yet I still get a sense of excitement and hope build in pre season.

They say it's the hope that kills you but na I actually enjoy it regardless. Would be nice to see Cov achieve something tho

It's the same with England at tournaments

Yep, same here. I always hope that England will win the European Championship or the World Cup and I also always hope Coventry City win the league.

I also always hope my wife one day will smile at me.

Just shows how life can deal you the wrong hand over and over again.

I thought it was Academies - not B Teams (although I suspect that is a longer term plan)

...onwards & upwards PUSB

 

[ajsccfc]

I think it's their test to then introduce B Teams later on. Hopefully all the PL clubs not giving a crap will kill the idea quickly.

Yes - what will an away game at Everton academy be like, potentially 3k away fans if Sheff Utd, or City, Bradford etc, but only a couple of hundred home fans? Odd

And what happens if 2 x academy teams, or even one makes it to the final. If City got through, we'd sell 35-40k (as would Sheff Utd etc but if we were playing Man City academy (not sure if they're in it) they'd only sell a few and their fans wouldn't give two hoots about it. Would be weird.

Imagine two northern academy teams in a final at Wembley, would be empty.
