    New kit announced in the coming days

    Kieran is going to be doubly miffed this morning... Can't find any garden gnomes on the club shop website though

    Friendliest town or city in England

    I have to agree with the people of Bristol being really friendly, residents of Sheffield are too.

    Where Will You Drink On Matchday Next Season?

    The Rocket is due for demolition to create a Warwick Road entrance to the redeveloped Coventry station...quite how long that will take is anyone's guess though

    Joining 'Greater Birmingham' would be good for the City, says Ann Lucas..

    I agree wholeheartedly with you about joining with Warwickshire. However, the one thing we should not do is impose ourselves on Warwickshire in the same way that Birmingham inevitably will do on Coventry. I have previously posted an example of how Birmingham has suppressed Coventry Despite...

    Investment rumour.

    The airport land is owned by Coventry City Council, leased by Sir Peter Rigby's group, and planning jurisdiction falls under Warwick District Council. Having worked with the airport for a number of years, it will be sad to see it go...lots of potential there. But I guess this is another way of...

    Favorite EVER CCFC Player

    I'll probably be mocked endlessly for this, but Trond Soltvedt for me. Unfairly got given the moniker of 'trundler', but I always felt he did his job without fuss in the centre of the park. Never wanted to be a headline grabber. Also never sulked when he was put on the bench. Also met him once...

    Joining 'Greater Birmingham' would be good for the City, says Ann Lucas..

    to be honest, I was in favour of the Gateway scheme. That area of Greenbelt land was previously a sewage works and the Armstrong Whitworth factory. Plus, Baginton is already connected to Coventry by Mill Hill, the Stonebridge industrial estate and the bloody airport. I think the Gateway scheme...

    Joining 'Greater Birmingham' would be good for the City, says Ann Lucas..

    Councillor Lucas seems to be forgetting that she is effectively on a rolling contract and that it is we who decide her fate. She is behaving like a dictator. the following link is a few years old, but is nonetheless representative of what the future will hold if this crackpot idea goes ahead...

    Who was the last.........

    I'd like to put in a shout for Trond Egil Soltvedt. Was never a glamorous footballer, and I remember when Rob Gurney (unfairly in my opinion) gave him the moniker of 'Trundler'. Always stuck rigidly to his task in midfield. However, I remember the day we sold him to Southampton was the same day...

    Were the 2 Lady Godiva's models?

    I think there'd be plenty of people willing to pay to be given a chance to photograph those two beautiful ladies. You'd probably be able to cover the cost to rent the RICOH for a year. Anyway, put me down for a calendar.

    15 games left - 45 points up for grabs!

    We still have 4 of the current top 6 to play in these remaining games. 3 of those 4 are to be played at the Ricoh (Bournemouth is obviously away). Meanwhile Yeovil, who are currently just below us, also have to visit. We must turn out in numbers for these games, and ideally all the remaining...

    Saturday's games

    An MK Dons equaliser would be very nice in my opinion. Edit, that was written before they went 2 down. So two MK Dons goals would be nice now

    O'Driscoll

    I have a feeling it will be Roy Keane (managed Sunderland in PL) ex Forest player might win over a few of the fans...even though his managerial record is hardly brilliant

    Steve Cotterill

    According to Linnell on CWR, Staunton was doing a scouting job for Sunderland. He will probably be at Stevenage Borough's next game too then...

    Back to the future?

    Coleman in the hunt? I think the FAW will have something to say about that.

    Paul Dickov & Gerry Taggart!

    I saw Gary Breen and Darren Purse on the same flight from Faro to Coventry once...was in about 2006 though

    Candidates

    I have stated Kevin Blackwell on another thread, and given my reasons. Also, Jim Magilton got Ipswich playing some good football, and Glenn Roeder would get respect from players at this level
