Ah, that makes sense. Hull are being franchised and being moved to the Ricoh! Change the seat colours and the job's a good un!!

Our mini bus with 16 of us went there yesterday. Arrived just before 11, had a couple of pints and a hot dog and walked about half a mile to take a tube from Ruislip station. A very easy tube journey each way with practically no waiting time and then a couple of pints after the match before...

In 1987 John Sillett said that our name was on the cup and famously made the coach driver go on a detour to find a second Magpie. Brian Kilcline then took a Sky Blue garter from the leg of a newly married Bride at the team's hotel in Marlowe. Has anyone got any omens of their own for this...

Dear Parent I am delighted to confirm that Finham Park Multi Academy Trust has engaged in discussion with Coventry City FC about the possible relocation of part of their successful Academy facility to our site at Finham Park School on Green Lane. I must emphasise that discussions are at a very...

Knowing the Head at Finham (my 3 kids go there), he will be asking for a school building or 2 out of the deal! A lot of works needs to be done to make it fit for purpose, with the access to the site, parking, gym facilities, pitch quality etc etc being key considerations and needing...

I think the club have been quite smart with this. I honestly believe that all of the 'genuine' fan base will get a ticket via redistribution from season ticket holders. I also can't see a black market developing, so mostly it will be done at face value. Those who think that they can make a...

In their 9 years at the club, how many of SISU's stated aims/plans have ever been delivered? Ownership of the Ricoh - nope New stadium - nope Open and honest communication with the fans - nope Organic/sustainable improvement of the club finances and the team - nope Sustainable academy - nope...

One crumb of comfort. Our next opponents are nearly as bad!!

I can only summise that the budget doesn't include transfer fees received and that these are being taken out of the club to pay down previous SISU losses. Based on a conservative estimate the club took £2.5m in gate receipts (11k x £10 x 23), so anything received from the Maddison sale doesn't...

A few points here: Yes it will have to be voted on in parliament, but they are there to act on the will of the people and will cause uproar if they don't Screwing the UK from a trade perspective is a bad idea as they lose out more than us. Our Q1 deficit with EU countries was £24bn, mostly...

My wife's birthday. Oh dear!!

I don't think you can accuse Coventry fans of being fickle. 47 years without a top 6 finish is quite long enough! Now, if you're talking about Man U fans who are up in arms about finishing 5th after 10+ titles in the last 20 years, or Newcastle fans who think they are the hardest done to, then...

I told my son at Christmas, “don’t hold your breath, this is Coventry City” and sure enough the inevitable abject failure ensued. I keep telling myself that surely by the law of averages, something good will happen eventually, but it never does. I’ve given up hoping for it any more, and one...

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head! I think we’re all sick and tired of endless 2 year plans which invariably end with further abject failure, with the occasional fleeting ‘whiff’ of success along the way. The only plan I want to hear about is a 12 month one, which ends with our...

You're spot on, we’ve been building and consolidating for the last 15 years and never reach the point where we actually mount a sustained challenge. I think most fans are heartily sick of it, hence the rapid drop off in attendances once the inevitable slump comes along. Even this season...

Can't be near to the NEC as it has to be within 8 miles of the Council House as specified by the Football League. Most of the sites mentioned are in or around the 5 mile mark, similar to the Ricoh (4.6 miles).

The funniest and most memorable case of fans leaving early was the famous league cup game in 1990, when as far as I could tell from my vantage point, almost half the Forest fans left the ground with their team 4 nil down after half an hour. By all accounts a sizable number begged to be let back...

Completely agree and I along with many others are desperate for success. It's just the nagging doubts that continually pop into the brain!!

I'm amazed that people continue to be surprised by the lack of belief the fans have in the club. We've been here so many times before. Nilsson had us top of the Championship in November, McCallister had us in and around the top 6 and then failed to win another game after Christmas, Coleman...
