I have to say its not an area I know very well and in fairness I'm not attracted to. I'm sure it has its positives.

Agree Hobo, neighbouring counties mentioned are lovely, I particularly like the Leicestershire/Northamptonshire border. Personally think that living somewhere nice and being a shortish commute from doing something you really enjoy (like being a professional footballer) makes for a very...

Ipstones, 5 minutes drive away from me.

I live just 10 miles north of Stoke duck in The Staffordshire Moorlands. It's an absolutely beautiful part of the country bordering onto The Peak District. Stoke on Trent and neighbouring Newcastle under Lyme itself......... there's some very nice parts, very desirable properties which would be...

Thats a truly shocking admission SBAndy. 🥴

I was just wondering if players and managers when a move to another club is on the table consider the local surroundings with regard to amenities, quality of schools for their children, nightlife, restaurants etc etc Some parts of the country are more attractive to live in than others, fact. Or...

Has the giant faded red Ricoh signs been taken down yet or is it not officially The Coventry Building Society Arena until the 1st July?

Sorry It'sabatch87, I was getting ahead of myself. Apologies.

Got to include Layer Road surely

Its not so much the 'off the shelf' stadia that is common place now, it's the half completed redeveloped grounds that haven't been finished for a variety of reasons that I don't like. Grounds like St James Park Newcastle, Old Trafford Manchester, City Ground Nottingham, Elland Road Leeds spring...

Again Craven Cottage has/is being modernised but has retained its individuality.

Wasn’t there a dirty great Normid Superstore stuck in the corner of one of the goal ends.

I liked Highbury because I adore art deco architecture. I have to say Villa Park and Ibrox are fine old fashioned proper grounds that have been modernised.

Absolutely 100% agree with you Evo1883, like you said absurd.

Pivotal Sky Blue Moment............... Saturday 16th May 1987. John Sillett famously said after helping lead Coventry City to Wembley success in 1987 that the Sky Blues had “shopped at Woolworth’s for too long, from now on we’re shopping at Harrods.” And we got too big for our boots.

Was once attending a BBQ party in Perth WA and a number of flying cockroaches 'flew' down upon me. I swatted several of them off me and they fell on the white hot charcoal embers. They didn't half sizzle quickly I can tell you. Didn't bother tasting them with my roo burger.

And so is British food too. Trust me, we produce world class products

As I said in an earlier post this is a very subjective post. A legend in the context of a countable noun refers to someone that is considered very famous and admired by a lot of people. I (personally) would interperate that description that it takes no account of a persons longevity or...

Talking of fullbacks, dare I throw in Chris Cattlin.

This is a very subjective thread and is influenced by how long you've been following The City. Those of my age would start by probably going for the likes of Curtis and Kearns who were key to the late Jimmy Hill revolution all the way from Division 3 in 1961 to Division 1 in 1967. Some I'm sure...
