    Match Thread ⚽️ Carabao Cup: Coventry City vs Bristol City Match Thread - Wednesday 10th Aug

    They will surely have to make a decision tomorrow assuming that the CBS is out of action. I suppose that they could hang on in the hope that ongoing work on the pitch gets it up to some sort of standard. This seems unlikely from what Boddy said. The options would appear to be; reverse the venue...

    CBS issues

    ‘We’ve narrowed the new stadium site down to three possible areas’ ‘Had constructive talks with one local authority who are excited at the prospect of having our new stadium in their area.’ ‘That ship has sailed!’ Or words to that effect. Just three whoppers off the top of my head.

    Think it might. Think it was a 5k attendance last season at home to Northampton

    Stop the clock

    The fact is that even the more simple and easy to enforce rules are often ignored. Why are keepers not held to the six second rule for example. You can bank on the keeper holding the ball for as long as they can get away with if their team is in the lead.The falling on the floor each time they...

    Stop the clock

    It’s the opposite of your opening statement. Time wasting is noticed and cared about. It is something that seems to become a bigger part of the game each season. For example, until recent times I can never recall teams wasting time in the first half of matches. This is definitely a feature of...

    Climate change and activists

    I’m on holiday in Ireland at the moment. It was hot over here for the past two days but not as bad as in the UK. I was watching RTE last night. They had a discussion between a scientist, who laid it very clearly on the line that farming practices along with a host of other things have to...

    Fabio Tavares Signs New Deal

    The brief clips I have seen of him in pre-season he has looked good. He might be further up the pecking order than 5th place striker. At 22(?) he should be pushing for a first team place here so maybe no loan required.

    Transfer Shouts

    I’m not disputing Mortimer’s qualities. If I was picking my all time City X1 he would be in it. I also think he became an even better player at Villa. I just disagree that he was better than Hutch. He was and still is the best City player I have seen. When he got on the ball you just knew that...

    Ex Player Watch

    He was our outstanding player in League 1. He was the player that I think most fans would have said could make the step up. I wouldn’t be disappointed if were in for him.

    Hamer bids

    I would sooner have Hamer than Carsley. Hamer is a far more gifted footballer. He may have played hundreds of top flight games but the standard of player has risen enormously since Carsley time. Would he get into a PL team these days? I don't think so.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    I don’t know of any City fan that wishes Wasps well. I want them to fail and clear off back to their own fans in the south east. I want us (and that certainly isn’t necessarily Sisu) to own for the first time the stadium that was built for us.I think most City fans would feel the same. They are...

    How are they beginning the points process? Do supporters already have points from last season? ( Hope so as I will be away for first game of the season which seems likely to be away).

    Transfer Shouts

    Did Emerson join once the season started after a LC game against Rotherham? Pickering signed for Don McKay the season before (just looked it up), but Dave Philips signed that summer too.

    Transfer Shouts

    A bit of rewriting history going on here. Kelly was hugely influential in our staying up in that first season back in the Championship. If you couldn’t see that with the performances he put out, then look at the stats. The points per game won when Kelly played that season were far greater than...

    Transfer Shouts

    I think the close season before our Cup win, Sillett brought in Houchen from Scunthorpe, Painter from Stoke and perhaps Culpin from Nuneaton. Not a stellar ‘window’ (there were no ‘windows’ at that stage), and had there been social media back then, no doubt some would have been calling for...

    Charity fan game at Highfield road

    That was a pre season game organised by Bobby Gould when he was the manager, against the City Supporters Club Sunday league team (who I played for that night). We (as in Supporters Club) lost 4-1. It was a great thrill to play on the Highfield Road pitch against a few first team players, Gerry...
