I was there and, what I can't get over to this day, we arrived at our usual time (which wasn't early) and without any problems made our way to our usual spot behind the goal on the Kop. My abiding memory of the game is Brian Lewis having an outstanding game and toying with the Wolves players...

Just noticed the current poll on the CCFC site: Who will be Coventry City's top-scorer? Callum Wilson Carl Baker Franck Moussa Not going to be seeing a lot of goals next season if they are expecting one of them to be our top scorer!

The owners of Nene Park Stadium are up to something, the local authority expect a planning application in a few weeks. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-28236273 There is a covenant in place that restricts the stadium to sporting purposes, so is the owner going to challenge...

Impressive credentials, but unable to find another job in the City since being sacked 10 years ago. Wonder why.....

The Butts! Come on, that wouldn't even have been big enough for Wimbledon AFC when they were non-League.

Point us to an example that exactly parallels the scenario at CCFC before you say there is no debate. The examples you quote are very different in that their debt was mostly to third parties and Maidstone, for instance, had nowhere to play and no prospect of ever having anywhere to play.

With apologies to Slim Dusty: But there's nothin' so lonesome, so dull or so drear Than to be a poor fan of a club with no team

Did it come about because the team had scored five away from home several times and the home crowd started chanting "WE want the old five" or am I imagining that?

You certainly did hear 'the old five' in the sixties, but I remember a couple of older supporters telling me that it was something they used to shout years before - pre-war even. I think what they used to shout was 'We want the old five'.

Great article indeed. Thank you David Conn for a clear and succinct explanation of why we are where we are. I think we can expect a follow up from Oliver Kay of the Times when World Cup duties allow.

Fisher never worked for Charlton. The chairman appointed him, in a blaze of publicity, to find a buyer for the club as a way of putting a bit of pressure on the eventual buyers who were beginning to dither over an offer they had already made. He was nothing more than a puppet there as well. I...

There you go Snoz:

I suspect Fisher will have a more unpleasant nutter to deal with when she finds out that he has been going around telling people she is 'bonkers'.

The OP has an interesting history of posting things related to Gary Hoffman. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was genuine and who could blame the Hoffman camp in wanting to set the record straight. The underhand comments that are continually being made by a bunch of serial failures must...

Seems to be a lot of this going on trying to find some positives for SISU:

Is it this one http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/city_announce_new_back_of_shirt_sponsors_827526/index.shtml. If so, I think six figures is more Fisher BS.

Exactly, I just wish people would put Grovel on ignore as there is no sensible discussion to be had with him. All of his posts are merely attempts to change the topic to his favourite one, i.e. himself. He has no interest in Coventry, the club or its fans.

He mentioned a six figure sponsorship deal - anyone got any ideas who this might be with? My guess is Lawyers4U.
