My one and only visit to the Dell, and a visit never to be forgotten. But I've read the Southampton fans of a certain age loved the place, all down to taste I guess. Our own Highfield Road had it's critics too, but to me it was great.

Going to Filbert Street was easy too. Midland Red bus stop opposite the Red Lion pub Walsgrave, a few of us would meet up after playing football for the school in the morning, and be in the ground before kick off. Me and a mate were only about 15 and we fancied going to a game local, and ended...

I remember I was only about 15/16 and decided I'd go and watch us play at Craven Cottage v Fulham, spur of the moment. Think it was a draw and enjoyed my day out. Came back home in the evening and was asked by my mum and dad where I'd been ? When I told them my dad didn't believe me till I gave...

Had a few trips back to Coventry by coach in the 70's with windows smashed. Bloody freezing as drivers didn't hang about, they just put their foot down !

I agree the Dell was a weird stadium. I'd never been there before and got a bit of a shock when we got inside. It was around the time Southampton hooligans gained notoriety for ambushing Forest fans in the coach park after a game. But we had so many fans there that day,they must have decided...

I was only 15 at the time but recall going down there on my own. Yes when the coaches finally arrived all I could see were our fans everywhere, took the place over. Looking back I liked to visit away grounds, must have seemed like an adventure !

I went to that game recall a very long coach trip. Didn't think much of the Dell but we got the point needed. Setters stood solid all game, as he normally did.

Enjoyed watching him play, hard as nails. In the old fashioned centre half mould, similar to Curtis.

Was a good signing for us. Hard as nails and uncompromising, took no messing about and a lot like George Curtis. Sure he was a Cantwell signing ?

Number 1 in the charts,and fastest selling album of the year.

On 606 now Chris Chilton's wife has called in talking about her husband's Alzheimer's. Chris Sutton's dad also has Alzheimer's and same age as Chris Chilton. Sounds bitter at the lack of help from the football authorities at all. She mentioned his time here at Coventry, how it never worked out.

Good to see rugby on " normal" telly. But too many commentators I feel.

Enjoying these internationals games. England to win the trophy.

Great try by Johnny May v Ireland just now.

Only thing is a punch from either of them would probably put you in intensive care for a long time !

If it was for loads of cash I'd go in myself, just run around the ring, and the first punch landed on my chin go down for the full count, and then get up and collect the cash !

As far as I know all money goes to charity. Both fighters doing it for free.

12 oz gloves and no headgear will be worn. Both big punchers and so no wonder Jones said facing Mike Tyson is scary, and he admitted what was he thinking getting in the ring again.

There will be no points awarded etc in other words for an outright win either boxer will need a knockout. But the referee will immediately stop the fight if a boxer has a bad cut or injury. Tyson says he will fight just like he always has, while Jones has said he could die in the ring. Tyson...

Will see on the night. I've watched videos of them both training,and both look fast and in good shape. But training in a gym to stepping in a ring is a different ball game.
