The worse they get, the more 'interest' I am taking in their results
One song they can never take from us, IN OUR COVENTRY HOMES, even in Brum we are still more Cov that those insects.
How did you guess lolHad a shandy or two Pipkin ?!? (although I echo the sentiments!)

Got 7 cans in the fridge with my name on, (had 6 whilst out) been working 16/17 hours a day lately so decided to have a blow out as my head is blown. Could be some fun posts later lmaofair play mate
They could. Very unlikely though as I think only one team goes up and it's usually the one that comes down from the premiership. Which is Newcastle I think this year who seem to be smashing itCould coventry rfc get promoted to the league wasps are in? I'm not a rugger fan

They were founder members of the top flight, although it's changed format somewhat. They got caught out by the (over)ambition of Rugby Lions taking a number of their players at just that time.We're cov ever in the top division in the rugby?

Hopefully get back to the top table one dayThey were founder members of the top flight, although it's changed format somewhat. They got caught out by the (over)ambition of Rugby Lions taking a number of their players at just that time.
FWIW, before league rugby was initiated, they were one of the best teams in the land for a number of years. They've got a heritage second to none.
Yep. Spot on. Arguably the best side in the country in the seventies. A good friend of mine propped in the same Rugby Lions side as Steve Brain who was poached from Cov. There were several more.They were founder members of the top flight, although it's changed format somewhat.

I’d like to think we could have a party in car park A WHEN it happens. And it will...Yep. Spot on. Arguably the best side in the country in the seventies. A good friend of mine propped in the same Rugby Lions side as Steve Brain who was poached from Cov. There were several more.
Look where that got RL. Basically bankrupt and demoted to the bottom of the ladder.
Cov, even though they made some poor decisions under several management teams, are still there, and looking to take the next step.
Hopefully supplanting the cuckoo wankers in the process.
Wouldn't that be delicious?
Wasnt that supposed to be Sunderlands new owners?They have been told there's no money for players haven't they?
Richest club in the world
Nah it was Wasps.Wasnt that supposed to be Sunderlands new owners?
Yeah there were basically three sides in the amateur (pre-90) era that ruled the game: Cov, Tigers and Baaaaath.Yep. Spot on. Arguably the best side in the country in the seventies.

Never really got into rugby but during that era, as rugby was pushed at counden court as the preferred sport during games lessons, I went to Counden Road a few times with mates as it was a short walk. Had an autograph book with a few players in (including DD) but haven't seen that for over 40 years, obviously long lost. Don't recall Cov ever getting beaten and I believe we were often on Rugby Special or playing at Twickenham. My dad used to take me to HR whenever he could, so that was the main sporting passion.Remember David Duckham playing for Coventry in the early 70s. Great player, used to live in Dunchurch.
Like traffic jams, when you're already late.Wouldn't that be ironic if wasps were relegated and coventry promoted

The vast majority of Tigers who played for England in the early nineties and beyond (i.e. at the start of the professional era) were home-grown or local - the likes of Rowntree, Cockerill & Garforth in the front row, Neil Back, Dean Richards, Martin Johnson, Ben Kay, Lewis Moody, Austin Healey (though he moved around a bit), Rory & Tony Underwood, Will Greenwood, etc, etc. It has only been since they started trying to get big-money signings (and coaches) that they have gone off the rails.Cov were architects of their own downfall failed to reconise and embrace the unstoppable march of professionalism, consequently Cov dropped down the rugby pyramid while local rivals Leicester Tigers and Northampton Saints filled their teams with internationals and got stronger.
