Could be a 4-0 win from Feb 12. A snowy Highfield Rd, 9,527 loyalists scattered around an empty looking ground. The ground looks desolate, the football was brilliant. Gerry Francis running the show, Melrose, Gillespie, Hateley, Hunt scoring. Yeah, been on before. This was us in the top division...

At best there are about 250 people on this forum, more often much less. It is a tiny fraction of the club's support. As someone said, a few loud and frequent voices can create the impression 'everyone' wants AT out. Lots don't. The silent majority who don't come on here, probably feel he's been...

Not really.

So AT was at this reserve game AND the London supporters meeting that may or may not have happened? Confused.

This part of the article is so true. The missing investors. And not just this season but for at least the past 20 seasons. "But Coventry City’s fans cannot remain blameless for their club’s financial demise. Our average attendance when Sisu took over was 19,000. It’s now down to 15,000. That...

ashbyjan, think you need to slip a few 'feck' and 'sh1ites' into your statements. Oh, and perhaps walk around with a tough looking dog outside the Ricoh, maybe a can or two in the other hand. Get a bit anti like. A 'mam & dad' tattoo maybe? You're bound to get the gobby brigade onside then.

Brighton, with respect,Telegraph ARE reporting on the state of the club under SISU. You just read it - they reported Juke's comments.

Superfred, Put simply. Celtic are a Catholic club. Rangers are a Protestant club. The British army (Black & Tans) killed a lot of Dublin catholics way back in the early Twentieth century when Ireland was fighting for independence. I have a relative who was shot dead by the English. The English...

I don't post much but couldn't pass this up. Guess you guys are a little younger than me. Brian Hill, 250 plus games for us from 1957 - that's Nineteen Fifty Seven - to 1971. He marked some of the best players of his era completely out of the game. Law, Franny Lee & others. Jimmy Hill converted...

Sorry ParsonsHose, conditioning. Often ended up in the old Parsons Nose in town after a pub crawl many years ago. Will try & get it right next time. Procdoc, see what you're saying - but football has always been a business. They charged to get in 50 years ago too, they even had a club shop to...

I'm talking about defeatism amongst the fans. Not the players. It looks like a lot of fans haven't got any fight left in them. Surely a team can get lifted by supporters right behind them. At the minute, a lot of fans have abandoned the club completely, some only go to away games (and then...

Hey, we're 20 games in. Whatever happened to 'we'll fight til the game is won?' There's a lot of defeatism around here.

Parsons Nose, Robbins must have been crazy not to give Hill his ten year deal. It has been downhill over since. 1970/71 into Europe and 1987 obviously. With an honourable mention for the 1981 League Cup Run. 1961/62 - W 10 D 4 L12 - 1963/63 - W 18 D 17 L11 - 1963/64 - W 22 D 15 L 9 -...

Chris Cattlin talking to the BBC down in Brighton last weekend. "We need all the Coventry fans and the people to still hang on in there and still get behind them. It's easy to support a team that's winning every week but it's the clue to a great supporter when you can come when they're not...

Derby, that's true. Though reading the various histories it looks like Clough and Taylor only ever used City as a bargaining tool to get a better deal where they were. & had no real desire to come here. They certainly would have been a better choice than Cantwell. Though maybe City thought...

By now it is well documented that Jimmy would have stayed had he been given the ten year contract he wanted. Derrick Robbins offered him five. The biggest mistake in his life. A lot of people like me - my age group - know only too well we would have won the league, cups, Europe in the 70s under...

In all the depression about our club I'd completely forgotten it is 50 years ago today that Sir Jimmy Hill was appointed manager. So began 5 years of nothing but great progress. Happy days. Jim Brown talks a little about it in his latest column.

Torchomatic, so true, so true. The useless supporters this club has. Any excuse not to go. Price, this manager, this player, that chairman, that board, the stadium blah blah. I dislike SISU as much as anyone, but they're not on the pitch. AFC City - I wouldn't totally discount it.

Glenn, you don't go to games and boast about it constantly. You and so many others turn their backs on the club in their time of need. All this bollox about not giving money to Sisu. You and so many like you are part of the problem. Of course Sisu are wrecking our club, I dislike them as much as...
