    Pre-season 2017/18 - Tournament at Nuneaton

    Not 100% sure, it's possible that it's just their club policy. At Bedworth United, two further divisions below, you can do what you like. I would guess that they would be unlikely to relax this, let's face it, Us, Wolves, Rangers, Liverpool, Nuneaton.... Even if it was only youth teams and...

    Pre-season 2017/18 - Tournament at Nuneaton

    They do have a bar/clubhouse adjacent to their 'end', although I don't think you can currently take drinks past the front door to go outside, and they don't currently serve alcohol out of the kiosk up at the away end.

    Gary Hoffman on the phone in....

    Correct. Seriously the chances of us returning to the Premier League in the next generation are, whilst not impossible, pretty slim. If SISU are (rightly) carrying the can for the last ten years, then surely any new owners carry that responsibility going forward, and any offer should not tie in...

    Open letter from the club to fans

    Whilst I am, like everyone else, mystified at the reasoning behind the letter, I have to say that as expected, people are being a bit harsh. You could take that letter word for word, and if it had been written by theoretical new owners, it would be getting praised to the hilt, however (as one...

    As A CCFC FAN

    Good luck to them, anything that shows up the 'big clubs' in this country, along with the myth that the Champions League is some kind of pinnacle of football, when in fact it's just a cup competition. UEFA really made a mess of Europe didn't they. The European Cup was for the winners, then the...

    What Would You Do On A Saturday ?

    To be quite honest my commitment to following city home and away has gradually been waning for years. What really sealed it was going back several years when I was heavily into Muay Thai kickboxing, and really started to fall out of love with football, when I saw the fantastic effort people put...

    Match Thread Coventry v Charlton Match Thread - Friday 14th Apr

    What a boring bastard. Just because some people don't shoehorn SISU insults into every post, doesn't make them any less angry about the plight of our club.

    The Worst Matchday Experience

    Derby seems to be the best of a bad bunch when it comes to the new stadiums. Always found their home fans to be reasonably noisy (although there's not much competition in this country, perhaps Wolves and Forest being two of the better ones as well). Although Derby knocking out over 25000 fans...

    The Worst Matchday Experience

    Match day experience is far more than the view from your seat, and legroom. It's the location of the ground, proximity to decent facilities like public transport, town/city centre, atmosphere. Unfortunately the Ricoh is rightfully situated at the bottom of the pile. I've been to games in the...

    Sheffield united gate

    As much as I detest Sheff Utd, I find it hard to comprehend our fans mocking them for a poor turnout last night. For god's sake we get 9000 every week. Yes can point to the fact we may well get more than 24k if we were on the verge of promotion, but where's the proof? We'd struggle to get 24k...

    Fan ownership, why won't it work?

    I've only scanned this thread so apologies if I've repeated anything... But I don't think anybody is saying it cant work, but it's highly likely that it won't work. As mentioned above, where do we start? How many people are required, how much will it cost individuals. Where will we play in...

    City fans travelling from Warwick / Leam - Chiltern update

    Yes but to be fair, with some of the questions asked on this site over the last month or so, seems like people could do with a few obvious facts pointing out. I mean, have some people never travelled by train/been to London/bought a ticket before in their life.... A lot of people just go to...

    Standing/Sitting at Wembley?

    Completely agree with RB1992 above, if the city fans want to stand en masse they will... However I can't see it, the hardcore of the support is likely to be too diluted. As sad as it sounds, we really could have done with a designated 'singing area'.... Will do my best to stand up, I haven't...

    Other Sports Teams You Follow

    Verona is a beautiful city. It's beautiful country, but I don't think people here realise how gritty it is around the edges. Spend some time around Milan Central Station after dark, or worse still, stumble through the red light area in Genoa at any time, and you'll find out. And people in the UK...

    Other Sports Teams You Follow

    I am a massive fan of Italian football, and have been since the early 90's when it first came onto Channel 4. Took in 4 matches in a week earlier in the season. Hellas Verona vs Pro Vercelli. Hellas are in Serie B this year but well supported. Their atmosphere is the most 'English' of the...

    City Kits and associated players - part 4!

    Fucking hell it was freezing that weekend. Got absolutely mullered on the Friday night, ended up in some crap club, Flares or something. Back into Yates for 11 on the Saturday, great afternoon, then the football started, 10 mins later we were 2 down and ten men. I remember this absolute idiot...

    The first person to come into my head was Hadji as well... The second shirts is slightly more difficult... Hartson?

    Wembley Protest

    Sorry but this is not a good idea, it's another load of crackpot bollocks... Who is even going to notice (assuming you can get 30-40000 city fans to sing it)... The tv won't pick it up, nobody is going to know, except some self-congratulating city fans. More to the point, what is it going to...

    City Kits and associated players - part 2!

    Still remember seeing my first ever game on tv. It was The Match, I think itv on a Sunday afternoon. Elton Wesby was the presenter, and it was Manchester City vs Villa. God knows what year that was, I imagine somewhere around 89-90. I also have very fond memories of Football Italia and have...

    City Kits and associated players - part 2!

    Remember this one. It was the first season with the new East Stand, in fact my first game in there, on the front row. This was also back when the JSB section was in the East Stand, firstly over by the Main Stand, then up in the corner by the Sky Blue Stand. Remember Nuddy going through and...
