    Make Sure you have your tea before Bolton match

    What a bunch of arse! The most significant thing is that they aren't apologetically announcing that there's no food on Monday but that there won't be any for the rest of the season. That isn't the caterers making a cock up, that is the caterers telling the club to f off. I wonder why? It's...

    Match Thread Peterboro. v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 31st Dec

    As Big Wade Dooley was fond of saying (about Scotland) two chances today: slim and none, and Slim's left town.

    Will you be renewing/buying your season ticket next season

    Seems fairly clear to me. A pretty straightforward question to a group of people who are presumably fairly keen on Coventry City as they are on a fans forum, asking, in the light of the current situation, who is likely to renew or get a season ticket next year. Result pretty clear as well...

    Will you be renewing/buying your season ticket next season

    Have said on here before, have supported them since I was six in 1969. Got a season ticket at Cov RFC when we were taken hostage in Northampton. After the Gills game last year got three half season tickets for me and my boys. That went well! I had some faith in Mowbray so this year forked...

    Over a million in legal fees

    The point is that a million pounds invested in the team would have put a successful one on the pitch and in doing so increased crowds and so on. Before they went to Northampton Tim Fisher called me after I answered a questionnaire saying I wouldn't support it as it seemed they were holding the...

    Over a million in legal fees

    Spent so far by SISU according to the article by Neil McInnes in The Guardian on 12 October 2016 subject of a separate thread. Seems too significant a point to bury in that thread now. I presume it is a reasonably accurate figure. And for what exactly? To prove that the company SISU were...

    Playing SISU at their own game

    Well I'll look into it certainly. Won't be buying 3 season tickets and a car park pass next year that's for sure. Been going since 1969 but there comes a point where you can't stand by any more. The 'manager' selling Ryton is that point for me.

    Playing SISU at their own game

    What is the legality, I wonder, of season ticket holders who have direct debits, cancelling them on the basis that they no longer want the product? We surely don't owe them for matches not yet played and could defend any attempt to recover the outstanding balance on the grounds that their...

    Hopeless

    I know how you feel and I guess most of us feel the same. I've been here since 1969. I really wanted to go today with my lad either to Gillingham or to Blackheath to watch Cov. Glad I didn't go to either now. Nothing ever seems to change and despite the fact that most of the first 32 years of...

    Somerset and the Sunderland outrage

    My point is that it is like the incident at Highfield Rd that Sunderland fans obsess about. Cov and Bristol realised with a few minutes to go that Sunderland had lost and as we were at 2-2 both of us were safe. As a result neither side tried to attack and risk conceding a goal. We did it...

    Somerset and the Sunderland outrage

    Replica of our fiendish collaboration with Bristol City to send Sunderland down 40 years ago acted out yesterday in the cricket county championship. Three clubs could win the title. Somerset in beating Notts would win if the other two, Middlesex and Yorkshire, drew with each other. If there was...

    Tonights phone in

    It amuses me the way that Eakin or Linnell react to the first hint of anti-club sentiment. They could listen to the point being made carefully then react in a considered balanced way. They could do that and they should do that. What they generally do is totally over-react and shout the caller down.

    Tonight v Rugby Town

    Thanks to the group of players watching last night who were happy to have photos taken with my lad and others. RCC, Marvin Sordell, Andy Rose, Chris Stokes, Jodi Jones, Jordan Willis, great to see them so approachable. I know how much it would have meant to me when I was 14!

    Thought he was superb on Saturday. Wish he was staying another year.

    half and half Cov/leicester scarves

    Blackburn won it a few years ago but not much made of that anymore so things will hopefully settle down eventually. I used to loathe Leicester but found when push came to shove that I wanted them to win it because it gives everyone hope and breaks the stranglehold of the big four or five, even...

    Pressley

    Never sure why the mantra that he kept us up despite a ten point deduction goes unchallenged. That was quite a good set of players who needed to finish the season ten points above the relegation zone, and did. I would have fancied my chances of keeping that squad up.

    Dipstick at the Station

    Wasn't a famous celebrity couple who can't be named was it? Row over a threesome?

    Is promotion still on for next season

    Three deserved home wins in a row against Millwall, Bradford and Sheffield United has to be encouraging. All will depend on who stays, who goes and who comes in, obviously, but I think there are grounds for optimism. Five games ago I wouldn't have been renewing, now I am.
