    Friday trivia

    Huddersfield were in Div.1 from 1970-72. We played them 4 times, Frank Worthington played each time but didn't score. I saw us win 1-0 there in 1972 with an Ernie Hunt goal, that was at their old Leeds Road ground which was a right dump. We also won a League Cup tie there in 1978. The last...

    December Stadium Deadline

    It is another Telegraph non-story, as usual. The mythical new stadium was never going to happen and it still will never happen. So nothing has changed. Maybe this 'revelation' is just a precursor to the club abandoning its pie-in-the-sky idea once and for all in December.

    Lateef signs

    Lateef Elford-Alliyu? Is this what they meant by a "big name" player?

    Glad To See Them Go

    The list is endless if we are truthful. I particularly despised the big-name Charlies who came to City for a last payday and failed miserably. Obvious examples are Terry Butcher, Colin Hendry, Tim Sherwood and Kevin Kilbane. The only one of these who succeeded was Dennis Wise but we never...

    Barcelona

    In fact, just like Coventry, they have two. Their second one, the Gaudi one, does have a roof now though.

    Ticket Solution

    We noticed those signs outside some turnstiles at the Wigan match. It would be ideal for us to be able to do this for our match package as we can't select seats otherwise without a visit to the ticket office and we live 25 miles away. All it needs is a bit of co-operation with Wasps and a...

    Pardon me boy....is that the councils empty choo choo

    The rail service is a joke in the UK. It also makes a mockery of what was required when the Ricoh was built when they were banging on about how many people should be arriving and leaving by public transport as some sort of 'Green Plan'. I went to a game in Germany at the weekend where everyone...

    Countinho clearly off side

    If he struggles on poor service this season that will probably mean his chance of a big move has gone. He may never get another. Savvy players always take the big move when it comes. I think Bournemouth will struggle once the novelty wears off and teams work them out. It will be a pity if...

    Queues at ticket office today

    Yes, it was completely unprofessional. The woman serving at the ticket terminal just kept telling everyone that they were no longer CCFC and nothing was their fault. I said it makes no difference to the punters wanting tickets but she was clearly very bitter at how the club had treated her and...

    Queues at ticket office today

    The club may not be happy with the system but the problems seem to be of their own making. We went to the shop to get our tickets for Wigan (6 game package) a couple of weeks before the game and the process was painfully slow. Yes, there are staff standing around but only one ticket terminal...

    Do The Fans Take The League Cup Seriously?

    I think most clubs give less importance to the League Cup now and tend to field weakened teams. In some cases complete reserve teams play as, unlike the JPT, there is no rule to prevent it. The fans increasing apathy towards the competition is just following that lead. The League Cup was seen...

    Match Package Tickets

    I will try that. I think we are intending to go to the Southend game now it is on the Monday. The thing is that we were told specifically when we bought them at the old ticket office that this option was not available. If it is, it will help us out. Thanks.

    Match Package Tickets

    What is most annoying is that with the match packages you can't get tickets online. For people like us who don't live in Coventry it would be by far the best option. Again, it's all about the whole thing being run on a shoestring.

    Match Package Tickets

    When we bought our package we were told that you could get a ticket in advance at the shop (which we did for Wigan) or just et a random seat at the cash turnstile on the day. We asked if we could phone up to book seats in advance and the woman old us we couldn't. Looks like that was a lie! It...

    wigan's point of view. Boss disappointed to start the season with defeat at the Ricoh

    Saturday was a classic example of how meaningless many of those Opta stats are. You can have all the possession you like if you do nothing with it. You may have more shots on target but that's no use if they don't trouble your keeper. Wigan had plenty of the ball but did nothing with it...

    Pay on the gate?

    You are right about one thing. We are still unbeaten!

    Ticket office phone line!!!

    We have got match vouchers for this season after deciding to bin our season tickets. So a couple of weeks ago we decided to go to the Wigan game as the first of our six. As we wanted to get a specific area we went to the ticket office at the Arena Park and they are a complete joke. There were...

    Macfarlane Gone

    I'm surprised he stayed as long as he did, given his association with Pressley. Maybe SP is up for a job somewhere and wants his help. Can't imagine who would be that desperate though....

    Most fragrant urinals

    The bogs at the Hawthorns were really bad many years ago. It was a brick cubicle behind the stand, no roof so open to the elements. You just pissed against a black painted wall. There was a shallow gutter in the stone floor which soon flooded so it was like a paddling pool. No water supply...
