Most of them pubs had gone before we left HR, times have changed most for the better. Sure CBS could have better transport links but that aside now we are seeing some good memories made along with players that will hopefully get to legend status.Not so sure . CBS is growing on me bar than parking and getting away after the game . HR was something else for a lot of reasons, good and bad . The walk up to HR was brilliant. The pubs from the silver sword, brew and baker Vauxhall,sky blue tavern and strikers bar . Nothing better on match day .
Because it was in Hillfields?HR gone but not forgotten for about 40% of our support it’s just part of ccfc history.
It’s not so much the ground I miss but it’s location which was perfect.
Dont think there are many pubs left bar the Old Ball, The Humber and Gosford arms near the ground., and the areas even rougher then back in the day.
Still would love my seat in the West End.
Mind you we would struggle to get a ticket with todays attendances.
I'll always miss HR personally a lot easier for me to get too. However it's gone ( thanks Bryan Richarse & co )so it is what it is.The CBS is hugely improved as a footballing home for CCFC. The pitch, Club shop, branding etc. I’d like the pre match queues to be sorted. It felt unsafe at times before the game in Saturday with Leicester fans pushing through the queue. It was packed so tight if it had kicked off it could have been an issue for a lot of people including kids and older people, who would have found it difficult to move away. If the fan village at the side of the East Stand is doing well, would there ever be a case for an improved version in the exhibition hall or in a bigger space? Some people like me would but some decent food over drinks these days.
Can you tell who is an immigrant and who isn't ?Old Balls closed down now too
The whole area atound HR has gone completely downhill. And no before anyone claims this comment is racist, it isnt, it is 80% immigrant round there now and boy can you tell, utter cesspit round swan lane and the surrounding roads, wouldnt board a dog round there now
Still a few round here,The Hastings,Red Horse,the one .on North st can't remember the name?Old Balls closed down now too

Hastings is still there , I was in the Old Ball in early Nov, used to have a cracking Sunday afternoon there with the fat DJ . My brothers local is the Rose & Crown a bit further down. Pubs a shutting down all over the country or half empty, it's cheaper to drink at home.Still a few round here,The Hastings,Red Horse,the one .on North st can't remember the name?
Red Horse went years ago, Rose and Woodbine in North StStill a few round here,The Hastings,Red Horse,the one .on North st can't remember the name?
Not been to the Woodbine for years. Lot of British style pubs in Bangkok which are always packed.Red Horse went years ago, Rose and Woodbine in North St
I still get nightmares when I hear the word SISU. There was a recent movie out called Sisu which I couldn't bring myself to watch but then I did it wasn't bad actually a bit gory in parts.It’s collateral with the improvement in the football with Robins - the buyout from Sisu has been a game changer - we have come a long way from league 2
My brother says their is a message on FB saying the Old Ball has moved to the Hastings pub.Red Horse went years ago, Rose and Woodbine in North St
Yeah seen that, I drive past the Old Ball regularly, can't believe that's closedMy brother says their is a message on FB saying the Old Ball has moved to the Hastings pub.
I've been going to the Old Ball when I've been in Cov but seen the no of punters in there decline apart from Sundays when they had the DJ there.Yeah seen that, I drive past the Old Ball regularly, can't believe that's closed
People forget that HR feel , but I don't.. used to get a knot in my stomach every time we played and that walk upto the stadium from town etc .. just a special place
Today's fans would make HR unbelievably hard to play at for away teams
The one at the top of the road Binley Oak closed years ago. Pubs on Goddard street only one left. Stoke ex gone, conservative club gone only Old Ball left in the whole area.I can vouch for that
now you’re askingprobably everyone from the cov cross down Gosford road. I can’t remember the names but there was one at the top main road from the Vauxhall that at was good
I very much doubt it.Any truth in the old rumour that the cub are interested in building their won new stadium on the site of the old Brandon speedway stadium?
Any truth in the old rumour that the club are interested in building their own new stadium on the site of the old Brandon speedway stadium?
Didn't know there was a rumour about thisAny truth in the old rumour that the club are interested in building their own new stadium on the site of the old Brandon speedway stadium?
And move the club out of Coventry agai.woukd be
I'd be very surprised, the cost alone would make it unfeasible. Like the BS some people actually believed about a ground at Warwick Uni when those Sisu lot were around.Didn't know there was a rumour about this
Totally agree, Highfield Road gave me some very special memories, and sad ones to be fairNot so sure . CBS is growing on me bar than parking and getting away after the game . HR was something else for a lot of reasons, good and bad . The walk up to HR was brilliant. The pubs from the silver sword, brew and baker Vauxhall,sky blue tavern and strikers bar . Nothing better on match day .
Its funny how the small things like CCFC branding, logos and pictures can make you feel at home, is a great time to be a cov fanNever felt rhe CBS was home
Last few seasons it has felt MORE like home, but still lacked something for me, despite the brillaint seasons and atmospheres
But the CCFC branding all.over the concourses, the stadium owners listening to fans in improvements such as cleaning the place, however basic
And also the atmospheres, the memories we're starting to make there, and the journey we've been on there
I think I've finally fell in love with the place
Would safe standing work?
