Wayne Andrews was indeed Barnsley away. Although it was a decent chunk of our away support that day chanting "you don't know what you're doing" shortly before he scored.

Cross country league yesterday at a very tough Warley Woods course in Smethwick. 38.14 for what was supposedly 10km (although i expect it was anything up to half a mile short of 10km. 175th. Standard is ridiculous. Cov Godiva stand 7th in Division 1 of the league (which is widely regarded to...

Personally i'm not a fan of gait-analysis etc.... i tend towards the view that by building up mileage slowly and steadily, you "proof" your body against injury, far more than relying on a pair of trainers to do it for you. But i guess that's easy for me to say with a few years of heavy mileage...

I guess it depends whether you're looking to "complete" or "compete".... I'm pretty sure you can still get round respectably. But if you have got a time target then it might be worth reconsidering.

Well i appear to have been able to purchase a Block 14 ticket today, so will give an honest opinion of atmosphere again....

Yeah i don't think the "honeymoon" period of being in the Premier League would last long with our fans. 6 matches probably.

It was poor yesterday. I was down the Telegraph end and Cardiff (although only good in spells) were far noisier than us.

Would take a draw, absolutely no doubt about that. By no means should we be afraid of anyone in this league, but Burnley visibly outclassed us, and these with Burnley are a step above everyone else in the league for consistency.

No idea. Just looking at it as a clean pair of eyes, i think £125 is a reasonable cost to be a mascot at a championship club. Of course, yes the fact that it has mysteriously jumped up from being free, is somewhat difficult to swallow.

I think £125 is reasonable "in this day and age". The necessity to provide your own full kit is too harsh in my opinion.

I say this completely impartially.... as due to my ongoing commitments to Cov in another sport, saturday was my first home game of the season... I stood at the back of the Telegraph Stand, having purchased my ticket only an hour before kickoff, there was nothing available anywhere near block...

Here's hoping they have similarly little success in Solihull.

Warwickshire County Championships today on a very tough course at a new venue... Easenhall... out past Brinklow. A good turnout from all the local clubs, good to see so many vests from the Cov clubs. Women were first off at 1pm and Julie Emmerson of Cov Godiva took the honours, leading us...

Phantom Coach 1km reps for us last night.... cold, dark and icy. Along the A45 from outside the pub, turn up Henry Parkes road at the roundabout, then left onto Charter at next roundabout, back to the rear of the pub. As its the county champs on saturday we only did 3 reps, with a whopping...

Unfortunately i'm not in such a strong position to comment on the women's leagues, as the mens/womens fixtures are separate. Nuneaton Harriers are top women's team at the moment and holding their own well in the top divison. Have several really strong runners on road,cross-country and track...

Cross Country League last saturday. We were in Wolverhampton for the Div1 race..... 7th on the day, 6th overall. Warwick University came out of nowhere with a great performance and might have an outside shot at a medal place if they keep that up. Kenilworth currently a little adrift and...

I've got an e-bike. Very worthwhile... a godsend in the Lake District with all the hills. Expensive though, mine was £3100 But you need to pick the one that is correct for you... if you're an experienced cyclist and just want a bit of assistance to help you extend your rides, then get a...

Nothing wrong with established footballing nations getting regular world cups. And there's an absolute host of other "traditional" footballing nations who have never held a world cup who should be way in front of the queue of joke bids like Qatar and Saudi Arabia (most of north Africa for a...

After racing on the fells last sunday, was still feeling some quite intensive DOMS, but headed out to Godiva training last night. 3 x 2km reps on a circuit near the Phantom Coach. I could only manage two reps... 7:52 7:44 Quite a way off my expected usual pace, but given the circumstances a...

If you want a quick 10 miler around this time of year, then head for the Brampton - Carlisle 10 Mile. it was actually held last sunday. There was one Cov Godiva representative this year, who went a very impressive sub-58mins (smashing my time from last year of 64mins!) A couple of hills, but...
