    Thumbnail It has been another year of disappointment despite signs of promise throughout, a year which ultimately has been defined by off the field issues.

  • Ben Leach commented on the blog post Brilliant But Sad Day That Should Never Have Happened For Coventry City   2 weeks, 5 days ago · View

    Hi, cheers for the read and comment and I totally get your point. The Ricoh is a brilliant arena and a nice place to be but you cant tell me it feels like a home to the club, its never felt like ours to me and now we may end up playing outside of Coventry [...]

     
  • Thumbnail There have a been a few memorable moments in Coventry City’s history with the most notable being the historic FA Cup victory of 1987 but for me personally it was a match which took place 8 years ago this week that will live forever in my memory. The match I’m referring to of course is [...]

    Thumbnail The last week for Coventry City was supposed to be a defining week in the clubs history and whilst in many ways it has been, there are still so many questions that have been left unanswered.

  • Thumbnail It’s been a week of rumours and legal precedents for us City fans as the club continues its turmoil off the pitch but at least the Skyblues took a step in the right direction on it with a 1-0 win over relegation threatened Hartlepool. Off the field problems seem to be all us city fans [...]

    Thumbnail It’s been a hectic few weeks for the club and defeat to Swindon a couple of weeks ago seemed to have left the club with all but no chance of reaching the playoffs.

    Thumbnail Another week in the season has passed and it pretty much sums up the life of a Coventry fan.

All this whilst the behind the [...]

    Thumbnail After victory away at Bury it didn’t seem like the departure of Mark Robins had any effect on the team, but sadly over the past week it has become apparent that it has.

    Thumbnail Another weekend passes in the football calendar and Coventry come out of it pretty well.

The Shrewsbury defeat definitely sounds a [...]
