Good Read, first one I have read since one of your first articles, and must say its much improved.

 

[HerneBayGaz]

Great as always.

Your lucky you still get a soggy crotch. It's years since I had one of them!!!

Ha cheers mate. Yep the approach was a little ropier back at the start. Glad you can see the progress.

 

[Warwickhunt]

crutch rot and foot rot! wow dedication to the last

 

[Johhny Blue]

Great Read. Technically we haven't dropped a point for 495 minutes

 

[fernandopartridge]

Good to see somebody acknowledging how strong Chaplin is for such a diminutive individual. First touch is very good too.

 

[pusbccfc]

Fucking superb.

The bit about Donny's big day out had me in stitches.

Got to say, I've enjoyed them all since the very first, always look forward to your unique take on events! Keep them coming please

Good if you skip the first three paragraphs.

Not only always a good read but always a good assessment of the match play and players.

Ah that's what makes it not just another match report - surely

I don't need a preamble, don't need to know what you had for breakfast, how you got to the ground or what the weather was like.
Every match report should start either with a list of the teams or just tell me who kicked off.
Just my opinion. Others may like other things.

you are missing the point.These reports are about a travelling away fan of a lower league club and the quirky things he experiences on his journeys.I think they are hilarious.

So far that’s fourteen votes for 87Mint
One for the Coventry Telegraph

I wouldn't read it if it wasn't for the social aspect of the blog.

If thats the case just read the Telegraph. I like to read about what sort of journey the lad had and what he saw. Its not easy going to away games for many and enjoy remembering what it was like to get soaked through following the mighty SkyBlues!

Personally I love the preamble. Southend’s prematch paragraphs were hilarious!

 

[HerneBayGaz]

The blog is about the whole match experience, Not just the game itself. Lawrence puts a lot time and effort into his blogs. Just read and enjoy

Yeah that's completely fair enough. Luckily there is plenty to choose from these days depending on what kind of debrief you want.

Don't read it then.

Spent a while reading through all of these from this season - enjoyable in all cases and I resonate with lots of stuff in there too from shared experiences.

 

[Warwickhunt]

the report gives an insight into the fans view from travelling the hospitality and sometimes the absoloute dickheads that follow the city and embarress themselves. i find the report a refreshing view rather than the sterile proffesional reporters self opinionated views

 

[fernandopartridge]

I like the match day experience angle.

I find it quite interesting whereas commentary on line ups, formation etc less so.

On a similar subject, I sometimes read the fans reviews on Football Ground Guide, nothing more dull than reading "I travelled by car and parked up near the ground"

 

[superskyblue]

I find many of the Coventry blogs that are out there terribly dull. Listing a series of events with a few football cliches thrown in is not good writing. I find it amazing that some of the bloggers get so much coverage.

Lonely Season is the best by a mile. Keep it up!

Brilliant as always!
