They could do with a bigger ground. They have outgrown the memorial Stadium.

fitting user name !

10 more and we could have had an Overture. with Cannons.

1802 Coventry fans

Not sure, he may have got a pair but Bess did the job asked of him in essence that innings.

Probably because they get players in the penalty area where as we can't get the ball that far never mind our players

I'm not really interested in their collective mental health re delusion etc... and I'm even less interested in their inability to count properly, I'm sure that has something to do with the varying amount of digits they have between them on each hand.... I dont think any of this should be of concern to us …. These are Ecumenical Matters, leave them to the Bashing Bishops and actresses. ? F e c k!!! … D r i n k!!!..

Cov should of won that. Rovers were dire, talk about route one football. Walsh very tidy on the ball and dictated play from the middle with a good range of passing.

How many pens do they get?! Only the obligatory disallowed Coventry goal and a sending off and the afternoon bingo card is complete....

I don't think Middlesborough suing is a bit of breach. Unless Im misreading, the rules in question relate to club's conduct and actions with regard to the financial rules. Their suing the EFL is not them not behaving in good faith towards the league over their own financial conduct, but taking legal action against the EFL because the EFL failed to take appropriate action against clubs that have, or appear to have, not behaved in good faith towards other clubs and the EFL under those financial rules. As for your first sentence, then I think we have all thought the EFL have been inept/useless/scared over the stadium sales, but that they were in a difficult position, given the cock up they themselves made when drafting the new ffp rules. Until now it seems that Derby and Wednesday's defence is that they consulted the EFL with their proposals to "sell" Pride Park and Hillsborough and ,in effect, are now saying that because the EFL were made aware, they can do nothing about it now. However, seeing rule 2.3 is a bit of an eye opener, as it means that at the very least, any suspicions the EFL had about fair valuations could and should have been addressed immediately, although I can also see that this would be a potential can of worms, with both sides arguing that their valuations are the correct ones. More importantly, had the EFL been aware of their own rule 2.3, the surely when clubs approached them to discuss stadium sales. they should have been notified that any sale profit could only be based on a fair valuation, but that the club's valuation should be referred to, and agreed by the EFL before the profit could then be applied to the clubs' accounts for ffp consideration. Once again it seems that either the EFL were inept, or that they knew the rule full well, but were not prepared to risk confrontation with "big" clubs, as I suspect the EFL knew full well that the clubs were in need to substantial amounts of profit to avoid ffp sanctions - and a breach of ffp, with the potential penalties available, could present an even more difficult and embarrassing confrontation. The good news is that rule 2.3 gives the EFL something for which they can go after clubs. That is , of course, providing they have the will to do so. Even if they do take action, it makes a mockery of the new ffp rules, that we understood were meant to make it so that breaches of ffp could be identified and the appropriate penalties be applied during the same season. We are now half way through the following season and the issues still don't seem to be resolved. I bet Mel Morris obtained his professional and independent valuation of Pride Park in the time scale he demanded, and certainly much quicker than 6 months!

I've been off the radar a little so I'm sure this gift was picked up at the original article date of 12th December but they had quite a funny reminder yesterday. Since they can no longer pass tickets through the fence, they're saving the pennies through purchasing Junior tickets instead. The club has become increasingly aware of reports of adult supporters entering the stadium on Junior tickets. Numerous reports over the past few games have been made of adult supporters gaining access to the stadium on concession tickets. This act, not only represents a breach of ground regulations but also has a negative effect on the clubs finances and the majority of law-abiding supporters that pay their way. For the match with Peterborough and moving forward, there will be increased checks on supporters tickets to ensure that supporters are using a ticket within the correct age band. Any supporters not in the correct bracket will be removed from the stadium. In addition to this, anyone wishing to purchase a ticket or tickets from the ticket office will be required to provide proof of age for all of those attending. We urge all supporters to think twice before engaging in such fraudulent activity as this really does have a negative impact on the club. We would also like to thank the majority of supporters for their unwavering support and understanding.

We have played them since, first season in the Championship and a couple of games after LJ took over. If I remember correctly we won 2-0. Despite being in the bottom four at the time we still took over 2200, that’s about a thousand more than the Gas managed on Wednesday and they’re fighting for the Play Offs. But then according to them they travel everywhere in huge numbers and their away support is miles better than ours so there you go....
