    It was poor yesterday. I was down the Telegraph end and Cardiff (although only good in spells) were far noisier than us.

    Match Thread ⚽️ Sheffield United vs Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 26th Dec

    Would take a draw, absolutely no doubt about that. By no means should we be afraid of anyone in this league, but Burnley visibly outclassed us, and these with Burnley are a step above everyone else in the league for consistency.

    Mascots now charged

    No idea. Just looking at it as a clean pair of eyes, i think £125 is a reasonable cost to be a mascot at a championship club. Of course, yes the fact that it has mysteriously jumped up from being free, is somewhat difficult to swallow.

    Mascots now charged

    I think £125 is reasonable "in this day and age". The necessity to provide your own full kit is too harsh in my opinion.

    I say this completely impartially.... as due to my ongoing commitments to Cov in another sport, saturday was my first home game of the season... I stood at the back of the Telegraph Stand, having purchased my ticket only an hour before kickoff, there was nothing available anywhere near block...

    Here's hoping they have similarly little success in Solihull.

    Warwickshire County Championships today on a very tough course at a new venue... Easenhall... out past Brinklow. A good turnout from all the local clubs, good to see so many vests from the Cov clubs. Women were first off at 1pm and Julie Emmerson of Cov Godiva took the honours, leading us...

    Phantom Coach 1km reps for us last night.... cold, dark and icy. Along the A45 from outside the pub, turn up Henry Parkes road at the roundabout, then left onto Charter at next roundabout, back to the rear of the pub. As its the county champs on saturday we only did 3 reps, with a whopping...

    Running

    Unfortunately i'm not in such a strong position to comment on the women's leagues, as the mens/womens fixtures are separate. Nuneaton Harriers are top women's team at the moment and holding their own well in the top divison. Have several really strong runners on road,cross-country and track...

    Cross Country League last saturday. We were in Wolverhampton for the Div1 race..... 7th on the day, 6th overall. Warwick University came out of nowhere with a great performance and might have an outside shot at a medal place if they keep that up. Kenilworth currently a little adrift and...

    eBike

    I've got an e-bike. Very worthwhile... a godsend in the Lake District with all the hills. Expensive though, mine was £3100 But you need to pick the one that is correct for you... if you're an experienced cyclist and just want a bit of assistance to help you extend your rides, then get a...

    Qatar World Cup 2022

    Nothing wrong with established footballing nations getting regular world cups. And there's an absolute host of other "traditional" footballing nations who have never held a world cup who should be way in front of the queue of joke bids like Qatar and Saudi Arabia (most of north Africa for a...

    Running

    After racing on the fells last sunday, was still feeling some quite intensive DOMS, but headed out to Godiva training last night. 3 x 2km reps on a circuit near the Phantom Coach. I could only manage two reps... 7:52 7:44 Quite a way off my expected usual pace, but given the circumstances a...

    Running

    If you want a quick 10 miler around this time of year, then head for the Brampton - Carlisle 10 Mile. it was actually held last sunday. There was one Cov Godiva representative this year, who went a very impressive sub-58mins (smashing my time from last year of 64mins!) A couple of hills, but...

    Running

    Nice one Sick Boy, I raced on the Shropshire Fells today. 1:09:30 for 5 miles (a good indication of how tough the race was, as i'd be under 31mins for a 5 mile road race). Only finished 9th which i was a little disappointed with... but it was a pb by 5 minutes so can;t really have any...

    Under the Bookies Radar:

    We can probably only afford one poor run of form if we are maintain a serious playoff challenge. I just don't see us being consistent enough (or injury-free) to maintain a challenge right through.

    Still tenants

    Well we're no longer renting off a franchise rugby club from London. That's a massive improvement whichever way you look at it. That was an absolute affront to our dignity.

    Doug King Takeover

    Find it difficult to believe that King is just a go-between for SISU and MIke Ashley... otherwise surely he wouldn't have been shouting about making a £25m bid for the arena.

    Great race the Cov Way. Attempted it twice, finished once! Div3 cross country results are in. Nuneaton and Sphinx both right in the promotion hunt.
