    Was our success due to Robins or was it actually Vivash?

    One stat, i´m surprised hasn't been brought up is. Mark Robins is the worst Manager in Coventry City history, (as well as one of the best, IMO We have only spent 2 seasons in the 4th Division in our history since promotion to the Football League in 1920. 1958-59 we finished 2nd and got promoted...

    Gas and Electric

We don't have gas, but our electric bill rose 100% for our December bill, usually about 100€ a month, December bill was over 200€. We have been advised to use the electric between midnight and 6 in the morning...

    La Palma Vocano

    Incorrect. It is La Palma which could cause a mega tsunami. However it will take a massive earth quake to cause this tsunami. Its likely to happen in the 5 minutes or 5 million years. The highest magnitude earthquake has been a reasonably mild 4. The last volcano on any of the canary islands...

    Records breaking season for kit sales

    To balance this out, we pay much lower community/council taxes, rates whatever you want to call them. We get 75% discount (subsidized by the Canarian Government) on flights & ferries from/to/around the Canary Isands. We get our bins emptied every day. We pay much less for petrol, about 90c a...

    Records breaking season for kit sales

    The Canary Islands are outside the taxation rates of the EU, similar to the Channel Islands. We are still under spanish EU rules for everything else. So when it comes to buying from within in the EU we dont have to pay 20% VAT (some stupid companies insist we pay it, without checking). If we...

    Champions plane flying over on Saturday

    I dont know the full ins and outs of FFP, but I was under the impression any amount of additional money could go into a club as a gift (non refundable, as long as the money could be traced, so as not to just a way to launder money) and that the money could not be a loan, forcing huge future debt.

    Records breaking season for kit sales

    Correct. The quickest anything has arrived from the uk is 8 days, some items have taken 4 weeks. If we dont have our post tracked we never recieve it. On our island we dont have DHL or Fed Ex or any other courier, so anything delivered by a courier gets delivered to our airport. A man and his...

    Records breaking season for kit sales

    Have I read somewhere the club shop is open. If that's the case maybe just understaffed to chase things up, we had found, since the end of March emails were not being answered. Mid march we tracked my top to east mids and returned to the city shop (or wherever despatched from). We had a message...

    Records breaking season for kit sales

    My wife just informed me, she was dealing with the order. The club are not sending abroad during the covid crisis. I used to be a courier driver and know how easy it is to miss a tick box on custom forms, then have things returned or refused to be stamped at a border.

    Records breaking season for kit sales

    I don't know why. My other tops were delivered to the canary islands before Christmas, had many other things delivered before. Maybe they have changed courier and that courier is not used to sending items abroad. Maybe filling in customs decoration forms incorrectly. We had the same problem...
