My vote - Borrows. Decade - 80s

I was at Cally in the 70's and knew of the 'story' then.

Not forgetting, St. George had associations with Caludon castle..... :p http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/st-george-come-coventry-what-7017800 Any Cally lads will recognise a couple of names in the piece.

Out of interest, what percentage of revenues do CCFC get from those?

I'm not trying to be funny here, but have you ever been to Coventry? If you had you'd know the BPA is on a major road into and out of the City Centre. The ringroad is a couple of hundred yards away. Access to the A45 is no more than 3 miles away. Hardly what I'd term as small roads. And not...

It's not going to happen. I think the majority of people know that. We'd all love an inner City ground but the Butts isn't going to be it. I thinks it's just something SISU think they can use as a bargaining tool when it comes to negotiating a new lease at the Wasps ground.

Don't let facts get in the way of Italia's stupidity......

Shocking news. RIP

I was lucky enough to go to all the games in the 87 cup run apart from the QF against Sheff Wed (confined to bed with a nasty infection). I remember sleeping overnight at Highfield road waiting to get tickets for the final. It was a long night. On the day itself we left Cov at 8am. The car...

I was there!!!!!! Turner's goal was very Ruud van Nistelrooy :D The old Manor Ground was a strange little place.

It was in 2013 when they were cancelling up to 20% of their daily services due to a lack of drivers.

I've been following Coventry City for 42 years and I've NEVER been fully confident of any victory!!! After all, we're the team that can find a banana skin around every corner.

He kept us in Division 1 despite having to change his squad year on year. I'll always be thankful for him giving us the Wallace/Ferguson partnership. I know on occasion we can all put on a pair of Sky Blue tinted glasses but for me, the Milne era was a good time, a very good time.

Mine still has 'marks' on it following a messy night out after the Charity Shield :D

A lot of the things that happened in and around the Jimmy Hill era were pretty iconic. Qualifying for Europe and beating Bayern Munich at home (lest we forget the 1st leg), 50k+ in the Wolves match above, Ernie Machin/Willie Carr donkey kick. All iconic in their own way. I guess depending on...

Got to be the most iconic picture in the modern times of CCFC -

I was always lead to believe the 'Old 5' was a reference to City scoring 5 goals. I remember in 77/78 when we beat Norwich 5-4. I was on the Kop with my Dad and all the old fellas were holding their hands up and chanting 'The old 5, the old 5' when Wallace (I think) got our 5th.

Colin Stein's bullet header from a Tommy Hutch cross vs Hull City in the FA Cup in Jan 1973. I was on the Kop aged 8, stood on a wooden stool with my Dad.

I don't recall Norwich, Ipswich or Southampton winning the old First Division between 1970 and 1990.

An unbelievable game. Terry Gibson was on fire that day. Gould coming in after the exodus at the end of the 82/83 season, putting a team together of mainly non league and lower league players and managing (just) to keep us up. In fact the first half of the 83/84 was one of the best I've ever...
