Very weak finish by Cov Utd, who finished a little above Sphinx.

Whats's the next step up assuming either can get promoted?

Sphinx failed ground grading the other year so unless they've made improvements they are stuck at that level for now.

Should this be in former players thread or here, here I guess lad only played 3 games for City over a dozen years ago.

Good news for Sphinx, on verge of new 25 year lease for their ground (owned by RR).

Good news for them, reading that it sounds like they're being well run. Make a change for a Coventry football team!

Shame. Always liked Sphinx.

Also that was Uniteds first game at the BPA, I wonder how many fans went?

I went past on the train en route to the Ricoh about 2:50 I'd say 100-150 in the stand at that point.

Lots of pictures in this guys flikr album, clearly a lot more 150, that, I'd say 4-500.

Was just answering the original post question that at 2:50 I'd say between that figure.

Couldn't care less how many were there, I have as much interest in them as I do in Villa.

 

[Gazolba]

I'm equally as interested in Coventry United and Coventry Sphinx as I am in Coventry City.
They all represent my city.
I'd even root for Villa if they were playing a Manchester or London team.
I did attend college in Aston.

Apparently Sphinx have sacked their manager. They are like 6th in the league! Strange.

Sphinx must be favourites, doing much better since they sacked manager and Cov Utd have gone the opposite way.

Goals for and against is almost identical though and Cov Utd have a game in hand.

[ccfctommy]

A very decent game!
Ended up 4-3 to Sphinx, including a penalty, red card and a crowd of over 500.

Wonder what the split was between Sphinx and United supporters?

 

[ccfctommy]

Crowd was 643 in the end. Its very hard to tell who was suppprting who.

An apology.. and a plan
