    Free Season Tickets for Under 12s

    This spectacularly misses the point. Most people could get there if they wanted to. But they don't. Offer people deals at £10 a game for a ticket and a coach trip from central Coventry and it would make little difference. It ain't about the money!

    Free Season Tickets for Under 12s

    The prices are dirt cheap, that's for sure. But that really isn't the issue. Even at £9 a game they are getting around 1300 home supporters. So how cheap would they have to be to attract a half decent crowd? £5....£3....£1....? I think we all know that even if season tickets were £1 a...

    Coventry City captain Carl Baker wants to finish his career at the Sky Blues

    Loyalty is a very rare commodity in football apart from supporters. Footballers are simply employees of the company and they will always seek the best deal they can. Whether that is with a current employer or elsewhere is immaterial. It isall about money. I don't blame them for it as it is a...

    Coventry City captain Carl Baker wants to finish his career at the Sky Blues

    I'm sure they won't be offering anywhere near £8k. But neither would anyone else, of course, so it all depends on who is willing to pay the most over a contract. At 31 the biggest factor is length of contract and he is probably desperate to get 2 years. Any new club may only offer a year with...

    Murphy - new contract offer

    Given that it's all about money for any player, I suspect he may well get a better offer elsewhere. City are unlikely to offer much to Murphy or any one else out of contract, so it would not be difficult to tempt him away. Whatever happens, we are not likely to have anyone better than Murphy...

    Coventry City captain Carl Baker wants to finish his career at the Sky Blues

    This is about right. At 31 his chance of a big pay-day has gone. He is playing for an average League One club and most others would be unlikely to offer him more than a year. So if City were to offer him 2 years on current salary he will have done well. No guarantee they will, though, given...

    Supporter groups condemn Fisher violence

    I did wonder what sort of arrogant pillock thinks they can stroll into a pub just to use the toilets. Surely you would be expected to buy a drink and become a customer. I wonder what the pub gaffer thought.

    Dropping out of the Football League ?

    It is certainly possible for either to happen in theory. But in reality neither will happen. If we were to be relegated twice the owners would undoubtedly liquidate and disappear. I very much doubt they would have us start a season in the Conference. If we were to be promoted twice, that...

    Congratulations Callum Wilson

    Sisu must be rubbing their grubby corporate hands with anticipation.....

    Brentford match thread

    You are right. I was referring to the fact that our GD was likely to give us an advantage for a possible play off place. Looking at the table now, nobody outside the top 6 has a GD better than +4 which is incredible. Another interesting stat is that we have scored the same as the top team...

    Brentford match thread

    As it stands we now have a negative goal difference. Not long ago we were in a position where we were looking at the GD being worth an extra point.

    It’s time to say goodbye to Coventry City

    In case you hadn't noticed, that is exactly what 90% of us have done. Sadly, by the time this shower of shite have finished, there will be no club to come back to.

    Pressleys Record at Cov

    I just can't see Pressley here for the long term. His standing and reputation are quite high at the moment, but a poor next season and that will change. His chance of progression could have gone. I think that once the sackings start around the leagues in the summer, someone will want to take...

    Waggott Reveals Club Ambition

    I agree. What incentive could there be to stay at City when your contract is up? Unless nobody else will offer you a job, of course. I think Murphy, Moussa and Baker are among those out of contract this summer, and of those only Baker will struggle to get a move on account of his age - but...

    Get the message Sisu !!!

    There were 1637 at the last home game and 1627 today. Perhaps they should announce the crowd changes over the Tannoy.

    CCFC Announce New Sponsor

    What commercial advantage does a company envisage they will get by sponsoring a toxic brand where 90% of its customers are refusing to have anything to do with them. I can only see their brand being damaged by association, especially being a local company. And it would serve them right.

    Stockport County fans need our support

    Signed. Stockport were the first team we played after relegation from the Premier League. Since then they have suffered four relegations and now play in the same league as Leamington, so clearly they have been mismanaged for years. Looking at their league table, there are seven teams who have...

    If we went down....

    Not in every respect. They still play in their home town. Their attendances average over 15000, more than twice anyone else in that division. We play 35 miles away in front of the lowest crowds in our division, and the fourth lowest in the country. So I'd say the 'laughing stock' jury is...

    Less than a year to build??

    Of course it will never happen. The discussion is just hypothetical really.
