    What a difference that makes to my Saturday night, Sunday morning and so on. Plus Cov won, Wasps lost and Saracens too!

    Scariest time at a ground.

    Again, from the Kop when it started you could often see a couple of white police motorcyclist’s helmets bobbing about in the melee. I spoke to one of the old time Cov cops a few years back and a lot of them loved it, getting paid overtime as well! Quite a few little scores settled on a...

    Scariest time at a ground.

    Maybe someone experienced the same issue away at Sunderland 2 years ago, might explain the deluge of bags of shite they claim were hoyed down on them.

    Scariest time at a ground.

    Yes I remember that when I first started going with my old man, on the Kop, the away fans were on the Thackall Street side of the West End. Remember one evening match against Liverpool when suddenly the whole middle section of Cov surged into the Liverpool lot, seem to recall something similar...

    Scariest time at a ground.

    A few...worst definitely West Ham away in semi final. Blues ‘at home’ in cup last year, crushing in concourse and very moody walk back to the town in the dark, and of course in the early 70s when the away lads were just the other side of a gangway away in the West End it kicked off every single...

    Devastating news, so so so sad. I’m not easily moved to tears after a lifetime of experiencing some pretty harsh stuff but this has upset me. Wonderful support from Jodi.

    Ray Ranson

    I think he fancied him. I heard Ranson describe him as “a 6’4 handsome bastard.” He also said our difficulty would be keeping Coleman. As I understand it the difficulty was keeping Coleman off the piss in Leamington (and other activities). Ranson suggested it had been a close call between...

    Max news incoming

    A year or so ago at the Southam Supporters Club meeting someone asked Max who would win in a fight between the squad. Max looked him in bewilderment, as if the question had been was there anyone French in the team. He shrugged in a Gallic way and said, “that would be me” as if it was so...

    West End.

    The old west end had issues: poor views because of the pillars, terrible toilet facilities, non-existent refreshments, dodgy acoustics, but by God it was thrilling in the early 70s when the away fans were a gangway away. The dodgy acoustics that meant we could hardly be heard at the other end...
