You should have joined it and you'd have seen how quickly the above conclusions were reached! The truth is invariably far less exciting than wild accusations of hidden agendas
There appears to be some paranoia about paranoia here...
Although the mailing list to discuss a new club was an interesting consequence for something with so little support...
To join a mailing list to discuss setting up a club that has no support to set up would have been a very odd thing for me to do
This is however detracting from the main point, that I was backing you up about there being no hidden agenda re: Sphinx!
Anyway, won't be going myself, mainly because I've been in bed all Christmas with a fever, so as a big wuss, not standing out in the cold and wet to get ill again.
bfh...................preventing would be fine, how about once there?
if you find something that says i'll get better quicker by standing out in the wet and wind than lying in bed in a toasty house watching re-runs of bullseye, i'll be there
So where exactly is this ground??
CV3 1WA Wingy off Binley Road way you going?
yeah In a dash want to get up gallagher to get my 4 tickets for Barnsley ,maybe #rotherham as well
So how was it...?
Anybody look capable of playing at a higher level?

----------------------------
Coventry Sphinx kept up their run of good performances with a 3-1 Midland Alliance League victory over Alvechurch
With Carl O'Neill back in goal, Sphinx, in their final game of 2013, went looking for their ninth unbeaten game in a row on a sunny afternoon at Sphinx Drive.
Luke Hopkins side did not start well and were a goal down inside four minutes when Jack Cresswell hit a tame twenty- yard shot, which squirmed past O'Neill and into the net.
Sphinx came back with a corner three minutes later that was hacked away. Alvechurch had a corner as did Sphinx in the 15th minute. Then, Ashley Cain hit a post with a shot deflected for a corner and Cutting had a shot pushed away by Brady.
On the half mark, Sphinx won a corner that was cleared. Now trying to take the game to Alvechurch, Sphinx attacked again and the ball fell for Rickie Cutting to score in the 34th minute from inside the area with a low shot past Brady.
Both sides had chances but after Aden Moore had come on, Sphinx started to press winning two corners in the 69th minute.
Alvechurch had a great chance in the 71st minute when Shearer got down the left and sent the ball over for Cresswell to fire over.
But Sphinx were a long way from being done and in the 74th minute, a brilliant ball fell for Rickie Cutting who kept his cool and picked his spot to score with a low finish, delighting the crowd which included a number of Coventry City supporters.
Then in the second minute of stoppage time, Alvechurch won a corner that was cleared upfield. An Alvechurch defender tried to play it back to Brady who completely missed a ball which fell for Aden Moore to stroke in to the empty net and give Sphinx another win in a highly entertaining game.
I enjoyed my afternoon at the sphinx, meet four or five people who I haven't seen for a couple of years and it was nice to be back on familiar territory.
The crowd was around 140, which was considerably smaller than I had expected,but still around double previous attendances (pre Sixfields) . The match was competitive and enjoyable, with Sphinx worthy of the win, Ashley Cain was the main threat and his extra ability was apparent throughout.
A number of fellow sky blues were evident due to numerous Coventry hats, scarfs ect being evident.
In conclusion a good afternoon with a couple of mates watching football in Cov, could Sphinx replace CCFC in my heart ? Never , but I will not enter Sixfields under ANY circumstances, so it may be The Sphinx on a few more occasions.
