Might sound rather callous of me, but i'd prefer the large away allocations over trying to squeeze in another couple of thousand City fans. Atmosphere generally (not always) better with a large away allocation, and makes our noisy support more up for it as well.

Yeah I expect they were gutted they only won the European Cup in 1982 compared to our single fa cup win.

What are you doing and how far? I've done (i think) 12 ultras, but mostly on the mountains. And never more than 45 miles. Finished 8, dnf'd 4. My one attempt at a 104 mile Ultra was quite a spectacular dnf after about 30 miles. Only flat ones I've done are Coventry Way Ultra x2 (dnf'd first...

We had a club session last night. Seem to be in a prolonged run of every club night being abysmal weather. No exception last night with heavy rain and wind. A couple of miles jog to warm up, then a few drills in the Phantom Coach Car Park (attracting more than a few comments from the smoking...

Track session last night at Godiva/Warwick Uni track, in utterly foul conditions. Really wanted to atttack this and hit some good rep times, but the torrential rain and howling wind made it difficult. 8 x 400mtr reps with 2mins rests. Nice and simple, just bang them out as well as possible...

Mid 90s.... i'm pretty sure it was an xmas match, perhaps even boxing day. Also fairly sure it wasn't actually Pavarotti :D

The Wales game is the one i most specifically remember! Pretty sure i was sat in what was the Cov away end for that one (lower tier of Sky Blue Stand) towards the West End.... which was a bit of a novelty.

I did similar a while back.... heading to a pre-season away to Bristol Rovers, but the M5 and A46 were a right state, and it became apparent i couldn't make the kickoff. Diverted to Forest Green Rovers vs Wrexham.... where i watched Lee Hughes come on the pitch with about 10mins to go, then...

There were one or two England Schoolboy internationals in the early/mid 90s

Their fans were absolutely brilliant. Loudest i've ever heard at Highfield Rd. I remember they had a massive striker (Karsten Jancker) and he ko'd some poor woman in the East Stand doing shooting practice in the warmup....

Midlands Road Relays tomorrow at Sutton Park. One of the best races of the year. All the local teams have at least one men's team running, and all the local teams except ourselves and Nuneaton have women's teams present (which is a shame as Godiva and Nuneaton are two of the stronger women's...

The quality of the goal itself. The quality of the opposition. And similar to last weekend, the fact that a couple of minutes beforehand, we had been 2-1 down.

I think saturday was our best moment since leaving the Premier League in 2001, considerably over-topping Manchester United away in 2006/7. And its probably up there in my top three with the two below.... However my favourite city goals are always likely to remain Huckerby 97 and Moldavan vs...

Didn't we (as a fanbase) completely write off Maidstone United after they'd just knocked out a better team than us in the previous round? Are we now demanding everyone puts us on an even footing with Manchester United? Of course we're being written off.

They may well be "fragile" but tbf they've just beaten and put 4 past Liverpool who we widely accepted we'd have no chance against.

Well, indeed, that is the point really... Clubs of our stature are now just playing to make the semi final now really.

The issue with the semi's being at Wembley is it completely undermines the final. Say we beat Leicester/Chelsea/Man CIty/whoever in the semi at Wembley..... the final is a bit of an anti-climax after that. regardless of what happens.

I understand that point.... but its probably no more or less realistic on paper than us beating Wolves. (on paper) Chelsea are a better side than Wolves (despite league position), and Leicester better than us.

Am i the only one who wants Leicester? Obviously if we were to lose to them at Wembley it'd be pretty devastating.... but surely Leicester at Wembley is a dream game after all those years of shit.
