FOOTY CHAT

First topic message reminder :

Great reading again Choccy P.....you forget so much so thanks.

Change of avater......and now he's in SkyBlue 3 months.

OK...with that news from Choccy I shall expect a win today and nothing less...errrrmmmm

Now that should cheer us up.....Nouble ready to play and Johnson getting fitter.

Nouble should play some part in the next game according to Pete "The Cone Man" he is not too far off, btw Pete is City's fitness coach so he should know. Johnson can't be that far behind him if we keep on loosing with them in then we are in trouble.

Thanks for the match report. It's really looking dire, we've got to pick this up or we'll be down.

Highlights of the night a coffee at half time and a bag of ready salted peanuts on the way back, no allowed

The way B C are playing never thought we would get anything from this match...hope Jan hurries up...getting nearer the bottom...
Thanks for the match report Choccy... ...

Thanks for the match report Choccy P.....we're in serious trouble.

On height, no strength, we only produce and sign midgets, where's Baker? He would be a far better option, we need to get more players on loan if Johnson and Nouble are not fit soon and please send Allsop back to Bournemouth never seen him pull off a good save.

Things going from bad to worse.

Malc: yes not creating enough and not enough efforts on goal we badly miss Nouble or a player like him.

Lots of questions Malc.....if we got some more players in January would they be better than those we've let go?

Hi there, great reports Choccy... ... ...how come we have so much of the game only to loose ???...are they creating chances only to keep missing them or just not getting enough efforts on goal ??? Do they need new players in Jan ?? Will there be any money for them ???

Have a good day everyone....

 he also loves Balti

Thanks for the match report..... and the points list...I want to know what's going on, from the team which started as though ....well we're like this us fans aren't we....a team which were going to storm to the top of the league ....so what happened?

Though we're still in the Johnsons Cup....  how exciting

Sorry to say Choccy we sound like
we are STILL marching to the SAME drummer
 
Left you some fresh Haddock filets

Oh dear dreadful performance against a team that might end bottom by a landslide trouble is they way things are going City might be not far above them

Brilliant match report Choccy P.....and we march on.

Well the idea of building another ground and having all the revenue ....rent from the shops as well as the hotel, casino, keep fit etc etc was brilliant AND if it had all come together we would have been up there with the likes of ManU etc Carole....but it didn't in the end. Point fingers at a few people.... I liked Highfield Road but at the time the thinking was "It's too old and dated" and a lot of clubs were moving to new stadiums.

Yes Choccy P Sisu had/have the money to buy the stadium and should have done as you say.

WASP's will lose a lot of fans.....we know what we thought about going and playing in Northampton....these days fans aren't thought about. I just can't see the pitch standing up to have a rugby team & a football team playing on it each week.

Well Sisu could and should have bought the ground years ago but will the Rugby authorities allow the move? It would not happen in football. Will Wasps take over the football club as well? Yes money needs to be spent on the pitch if we are to have two teams on it but who will come to watch Wasps? They attract 5,000 fans at Wycombe and have just stabbed their fans in the back making our move to Northampton seem like moving next door.

Anyway match report in enjoyable night at the Ricoh, Sisu take note lower the prices and people will come

My husband Gil says that this is all Coventry's
fault as they should NEVER have given up Highfield Rd
being as they did not have the ££ to build a new stadium
having to go into debt and not being able to buy good players
as well
I cannot comment on this not living back there at the time all
this was going down as he was ,
Guess only time will tell what will transpire

Yes it's gone ahead......though Ann Lucas was saying Sisu didn't put an offer on the table and WASPS did. Though we know what Sisu wanted .....the Stadium plus surrounding land for a pittance.

Though I just can't see this being good for the football club.....business around maybe but not the club.

Just looking at this on Face Book

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/live-coventry-city-council-decide-7896108

Looks like its going to happen this was just ONE
of MANY statements on Face Book today

It states that the council will buy out the Higgs share to ensure CCFC have first option. I think this will benefit all 4 sectors involved; Coventry City, The Wasps, The Council and Higgs. Not to mention local businesses with additional trade. It means the pitch will most likely be maintained to a higher standard, and possibly more jobs opening up at the Ricoh. I know my statements are possibilities but I do think this will benefit more people than not. Coventry might even have to push a few games to Fridays, when tv revenue won't hurt the bank too much...

Thanks for the match report Choccy P.

Yes City had 80 minutes of the game Crawley had 5 minutes but they got a draw can't believe it!

So what happened there? 2-0 and threw it away.

Yes that was the thread Choccy Penguin.....then on the next page it mentioned you.

Just got the quote from Sky Blue talk
"Look forward to reading the new edition of T&S at half time tomorrow. Does anyone know what happened to Paul Mackay (spelling?) who used to sell it outside the west terrace. Got my first copy from him as a young lad."

I see this guy doesn't go to away games otherwise he would hear Paul all the time.

Yes the guy next to us in the stand called Keith said this as well and how he a kids dad bought the zine when he was young made Paul feel old

Thanks for the match report anyway Choccy P, I felt for you sitting through that....it sounded really dire.

Oh Choccy P I was reading posts on Sky Blue Talk (I don't post of course because I'd have to put my email and they'd know it was me....even though I agree with the comments they say) and someone mentioned Twist & Shout then another poster asked about Paul saying he remembered buying his fanzine from him another poster said he still went to the games because he'd been standing next to him at the Wycombe game, they mentioned you also doing articles for Twist & Shout.

Oh dear pretty poor stuff at the Ricoh but report in.

Oh you're like me Malc...I do things and we win and continue doing it then we lose so it's "Mmm maybe I should clean my cupboards out instead?" or something...as though that will make them score

A poor performance Choccy ??? There boss said City were the best team they have played up there and would be up top at end of season ???
Did not listen in as I did so at the last game and we lost...

Good match report Choccy P.....thanks.

Love your two friends as well. I expect they'll get their own season tickets soon if not already got them.

Yes realised I have put an avatar on until now this one is of two friends with my new season ticket

Drat we always lose at Spotland. A poor performance piling the the pressure on our next two home league games. Still I did finally get my season ticket book.

I'll be shocked is Wasps take over the Ricoh after all there is already a Rugby team in the City the Rugby Union can't allow another one in and how many fans do Wasps attract? If they did buy into I think there might by quite a few football fans protesting. Up to darkest Greater Manchester Saturday for Rochdale.

Just saw this report

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/rugby-club-wasps-talks-buy-7792990

Thanks for the match report Choccy P.    What on earth was Reda doing?   might have won that game if he hadn't been sent off.

Report in. Like Arsen Wenger I didn't see the incident but according to "Twist n Shout" editor Jimbo who was in front of me Reda did move his head in and so was sent off but their first goal was a mile off side.

Well looking forward to reading what Choccy P thought of the game....and the sending off.

We'll let you off.

Ok off to read.....

Thanks Choccy P.

OK report now in couldn't have pressed "paste" last time

Hi there...another great win now up to 5th but other teams game in hand.

Yep Vicky...no match report I can see ???

You on the beer Choccy...lol...

Am I going daft? now now......but anyway I can't find your match report Choccy P.

Good win yesterday though

Report in for another win and top six, Scunny on Tuesday night.

Yes some fans were phoning up the Sky Blues phone in and having a moan about not getting their season tickets or Saturday's tickets.

Yes Leyton Orient after three visits there last season I know it well see you there.

Had to cycle over to Gallagher Retail Park to pick up reprints for the next two home games only two ticket office staff on duty feel sorry for Lynn there, they need more help

Hi there, watched Fridays game on the box in the pub as I did not have to work the Sat.
City looked good for the win but as Choccy says needed that second goal. Sounded like a great atmosphere in there...27.306 was brill...guess it will drop down to about 14/1600.

Have arranged to go to the Orient game on Sat 1st Nov with one of the guys from work as he is a fan of theirs...he is a good lad, a coach driver and knows London so a few beers before and after with a bite to eat thrown in, so see ya their Choccy hopefully, he will go in his end and I will go to the visitors end and meet up after...UP THE SKYBLUES...headball headball headball

So even in the posh seats you had a problem hearing the PA system. well they should fix it.

Good news about Pressley signing another 4 years.

Vicky yes even in the posh seats the PA was terrible and they don't have many songs to play I heard "The boys are back in town" by Thin Lizzy three times good job I like the song.

Had to laugh at half time as three people attempted to carry three pints of beer each up into the stand only to be turned back by one of the stewards, must be Ruby fans
