    The £500 deal

    What the hell, went for the £500. No fool like an old fool

    The £500 deal

    I’m glass half full. Last year turned 60 and was branded a ‘senior citizen’ which I didn’t much care for. However the reduced price helped me get over the calumny. This year they announce that I’m no longer a coffin dodger but charge me £400!

    Can we get a point at Boro?

    Can you begin to imagine the Sunderland meltdown if we kick off late, know their score means we just need a point, and Boro and us kick it about for the last few minutes. Please God, let that happen.

    The Southam CCFC Supporters Club is pretty impressive for such a small place, filling a coach to a lot of away games

    Police

    Ali G was amongst the Year 12s furious at us for most of the match. Very scary bunch (if you were Year 10 maybe). There was one special chap in a black T shirt who when Vik scored acted like he was King Kongs harder brother. A few seconds later a plastic bottle was lobbed from our side which...

    Saturdays atmosphere

    The noise in the corner was that loud today I wasn’t even aware other parts of the ground were singing. In the old West End in the 70s you sometimes couldn’t hear your self think but today was the loudest I’ve ever known

    Saturdays atmosphere

    The noise was unbelievable in the concourse half an hour before kick off

    Saturdays gate…

    The question which I have never seen answered satisfactorily is why empty blocks are needed for segregation at the CBS but not at Celtic, Chelsea or any other Premier League ground? Agreed that it’s not an issue when the ground is half full, but not when the demand is there, as it is for...

    RIP OldSkyBlue58

    Thats shocking. Easily one of the most informative members of the forum. We may bicker but in some ways we are a family and this feels like a loss for us all. Very sad.

    Grimsby Town

    Well the night we beat Man City 4-3 with a David Thompson screamer just about everybody thought we’d be the two teams to go up automatically!

    Grimsby Town

    I wondered at the time if that was true then why didn’t he use that fiendish tactic away at Liverpool or Chelsea and only field 9 players.

    A cat could have done a better job than Thorn and Slade.

    Mark Robins 300 games

    Well I go back as far as Noel Cantwell. He took us to 6th in the top flight and Europe. Gordon Milne 7th, George and John won the FA Cup. Jimmy Hill so far has to be our greatest ever manager but if Mark Robins takes us to the Premier League given what he started with and what he’s had to...

    Home v Sunderland 12.30, Sky, £33 a ticket

    I think their issue with Jimmy Hill is not so much the late kick off but the fact that when their game at Everton ended we all knew that if our result stayed at 2-2 then both Bristol City and ourselves were safe. So a truce was called and neither side tried until the final whistle. They blame...

    1980/81 - Coventry v West Ham (League Cup Semi 1st Leg - 27.1.81

    The Watford game was unreal. 5-0 wasn’t it? Forget which goal it was but I was swept from the middle of the West End to somewhere near the corner flag!

    Wasps signs have actually gone!!

    Wasn't just bondholders they shafted though, was it?

    Wasps signs have actually gone!!

    They are still deluding themselves that it was only a tiny minority of locals that detested them. Maybe a tiny minority of the whole population but a very healthy majority of fans of the City or Cov.

    1980/81 - Coventry v West Ham (League Cup Semi 1st Leg - 27.1.81

    That away game was well moody! God knows what it would have been like if we’d won.

    Was Strachen a Pointless Manager?

    We had some bad luck to be fair. First Inter came in for Robbie Keane. Then Bellamy should have been prolific but wasn’t. Then his replacement Lee Hughes should have been prolific but wasn’t (as well as being a scumbag). Then Celtic came for Hartson. Then the ITV deal went sour.
