    Black Prince pub in tile hill

    I took Joe to his first game - the 5-1 v Liverpool. We beat Villa 3-0 in the next match and I had to sit him down and explain to him that it isn't always like this!

    Black Prince pub in tile hill

    My uncle was and is mates with George's brother. George was in the running for the Turner Prize in 2011 which was a fantastic achievement. I've got a coffee table book of his prints.

    Black Prince pub in tile hill

    Set back in the woods on Tile Hill Lane a bit, down from Tile Hill College and pretty much opposite Hereward College if you’re driving down the hill towards Assumption school.

    Black Prince pub in tile hill

    He wasn’t there for the opening but he filmed a short film there called Bouncers which you can watch on YouTube - think it was based on something written by Geoff Thompson.

    Lovely words about a great bloke. Gus and his wife ran the Dog and Trumpet but left to set up Scholars.

    Get Shirty

    Thanks for the tip. Watched it today and thought it was brilliant. The chances of bumping into Leeds training and getting Don Revie to say yes there and then!

    The collective expertise of SBT required

    Terry Yorath? Obviously looks like the ball massively pre-dates him, though. EDIT: just checked his autograph on other sites and it doesn't look like this.

    First ever CCFC memories ?

    Hey. Probably not the same game I visited the Japanese Football Association a couple of years ago and took a photo of this picture which was on the wall - Japan national team v Cov in ‘72.

    Oggy

    Agree 100%. Mentioned in another thread that I paid for the Radio Stoke commentary for my father-in-law when he came to visit recently. He was listening to that and I was watching our game in iFollow and CWR were miles more professional, insightful and interesting.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Sunderland Match Thread - Sunday 1st Mar

    Agree that this was a pen. Don’t think the handball was. Similarly, their shout for a pen was a legitimate one.

    CWR going to Wasps

    Just watched the game in Geneva - 5 annoyed Sunderland fans in there which made it better. Was loving reading this and listening to the phone in on the train home but to finish it with a post from a ‘fan’ saying ‘Well done City and good luck Wasps’ as a cue to switch to the rugby comms is a...

    And yet another thread about us

    I went for a run this morning and listened to their Roar podcast to hear what they were saying about the game. Suggested Willis and a few others looked leggy in midweek. One on there said a draw would be a good result while the other two went for away wins.

    Where are you watching the game today?

    Hope all of those who are going today have a brilliant day out. We obviously have fans around the world so I was wondering where everyone will be watching from? I'll be going to the Corner Pub in Geneva so anyone is welcome to join if in the area! Looking forward to flying back for the...
