    Fisher's thinking

    IMO short-term Nuneaton is likely and potentially the Butts all on short-term ;leases all with a view to getting back to the Ricoh on more favourable terms SISU won't be investing in anything long-term. 3,000 crowds at the Butts or Nuneaton may just allow us to stay in the 4th Div. Is all this...

    Learned a new rule of football

    i thought I knew the rules rarely happens in the professional game a goal kick reaching the oppositions box it was very windy. PS I manage a boys team not a ref. The most frustrating rule misunderstanding when reffing is inactive players standing in offside positions being deemed by the...

    Learned a new rule of football

    I reffed a game on Sunday when it was extremely windy and our goalies goal kicks were reaching their bos. One of our coached told out strikers to push up and not to worry because you "can't be offside from a goal kick" - looked it up and is correct. Freely admit I didn't know this rule and I...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    I want the Butts to happen, I love the idea of a city centre location. However even if the area was larger it is still hemmed in by a railway and buildings ensuring Butts Lane is the only route. Talk of knocking the Fob watch down and the Petrol station to re-route the road would add...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    I would love the butts to happen but just isn't big enough even for 12,000 - insufficient road network to cope with 12,000 leaving a football stadium at the same time, would be significant pedestrian congestion as everyone spills onto the dual carriageway on Butts Lane. Remember Swan Lane after...

    Coventry City 1978-79

    I have met 2 of that squad in person, Ray Gooding scouted a young lad from our team, he certainly doesn't have the long flowing locks of hair now nice guy (didn't know he was from the North East) John Beck - May 92 in Ibiza was manager of cambridge at the time who knocked us out that FA cup that...

    The mammoth sum Coventry City owners Sisu would need to walk away without loss

    I have a degree in accountancy but found statutory reporting so dull respect to those that do it as a career but wasn't for me.

    Loan Theory

    I hate loans with a passion, for every AA & Murphy there is a Chuba Akpom - felt too good to play for Cov, his performance at Brentford away - just couldn't be bothered didn't chase anything. Loans suit SISU avoids having a proper scouting regime, less financial committment, can be cheaper on...

    Is this the investment Robins is expecting?

    Who knows what SISU will do with the windfall but this season is dead and all should be done from now and the close season to make sure we have the best squad possible to compete, early contract offers to those out of contract he wants to retain (won't be many) look at the youth, blood them...

    Coventry City fan investigated by employer after sick jibe at Bradford City fans

    May 1985 - the 3 Bs Bradford the worst but Birmingham v Leeds on the same day a young fan died when a wall collapsed but the scenes inside the stadium were beyond belief, followed a week later by Brussels / Heysel - football has come a long way since then in this country.

    This is one of the most bizarre posts that I have ever read on here. I have a good feeling following the appointment of MR and secured me and my lad's wembley tickets but TF is a master of spin & bull$hit radio silence then suddenly meeting the fans alongside rumours of a takeover, new manager...
