    Is anyone else glad we're terrible?

    Glad we’re not in the Premier League circus but not happy that we are in the circs we are, and certainly not satisfied with yesterday’s failure to trouble the scoresheet.

    Match Thread Bolton Wanderers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 10th Aug

    Yep. Ours was cancelled while we were on it. Uber now

    See Stockdale get involved in the melee when Bham lost to Portsmouth in the week? Dangerously close to head butting his own player at one point.

    Pre Match Conference - Bolton

    Presumably this means we can strengthen in January if we progress in the Cups.

    Also his twitter feed now links to a different insta a/c (livroyal - who def doesn’t seem to be the woman on his arm on that photo with the bloke w the dodgy syrup). It’s all v curious.

    It’s possible and highly illegal. In the early 1990s a LibDem Council candidate was found guilty of stealing voting cards from an old peoples’ home in Sheffield with the intent of using them to boost his own vote. Sentencing him with a hefty fine the magistrate suggested he look up the words...

    Yep. It’s called personation.

    As in “let’s sign the bloke who kept me out of Coventry’s starting XI for the last third of the season”. Can’t see it myself.

    Bolton tickets

    Stockport’s problems came to a head when a Rugby club bought their ground and squeezed them out. After the franchise rugby club moved on again, Stockport slowly began to recover. The only problem was they had fallen three leagues below the EFL by that point.

    Enquiry Made About Adam Armstrong

    Someone just misread the “call to arms” thread.

    Preston fan in peace

    Ditto. Was brilliant in League Two. Developed his game in League One last season but some were expecting him to be Maradona in his first full season. Overall he was much better than we expected and that’s a very bright sign. Has a cutting edge that many of his type of player lack. Good luck to...

    “League One and League Two Clubs will have until 5pm on Monday 2 September, 2019, due to August 31 falling on a Saturday.”

    Coventry jump 113 places to enter TOP 20 European academies!

    Because we will have two former academy players in the Prem not three.

    Coventry jump 113 places to enter TOP 20 European academies!

    Well actually the jump in that league table is simply because one of his charges, Maddison, (together with Wilson and Christie) played regularly in the Prem last season. On that basis we will fall in this stat next year.

    Where is Rick Gekoski?

    Gekowski was indeed living in Leamington while working at the University of Warwick. The book is a good read but there are some really annoying mis-steps - he refuses to go to Bolton and misses our biggest away win for over a decade; and the entire pitch of the book (entitled ‘Staying Up’) is...

    LWCCFC charity match

    He’s one of the nicest men on the planet. I knew him growing up in late 70s/early 80s. Occasionally bump into him at city games, he’s always apparently pleased to see me and chat for a bit. At Villa Park in 92 he ran across the street (leaving the professional footballers he was with) to say...

    Ahhhh...a new season

    Yes they might have been draws, but they also might have been more significant wins. And some of the single goal defeats (Burton at home for example) should have been draws too. Certainly Accrington A should have been a comfortable win. 3-0 to us would not have been unfair. In fact Hiwula...
