possibly returning next month!

 

[The Large One]

Good luck to them. A farce that they ever left there in the first place.

Then Sky go and burst the bubble somewhat by announcing that the homecoming match against Gillingham will be live on the box on the Friday night.

I'm very happy for Coventry. Drove past the stadium the other day and felt a great deal of sympathy. We have a fair bit in common with those lads.

I would still think that it'll be a capacity crowd even with sky getting in on the act.

 

[horshamite]

That's good news. No championship games that weekend. How about a mini-FansUnited at Coventry

 

[strings]

I still feel sorry for Coventry. It strikes me that without ownership of their stadium, they will struggle to find their way back up the leagues. This is one of the many reasons that they were planning at one stage to build another stadium on the outskirts of Coventry.

I'm not convinced we have seen the last of this saga.

 

[Hugo Rune]

I'm pleased for their supporters. I really hope they have a good season.

 

[GT49er]

Good for them - glad they've got back.

 

[7:18]

Very happy to hear this, no one should have to play outside of their own city!

The only team not to have finished in the top 6 of any division in the last 40 years.

 

[seagully]

Thinking of going to this. Feel really sorry for their fans.

 

[pasty]

The only team not to have finished in the top 6 of any division in the last 40 years.

Bloody hell. That is such an amazing stat I initially thought what a load of old bollox and had to go and look it up.

My apologies for doubting you - absolutely correct.

 

[Hiney]

The only team not to have finished in the top 6 of any division in the last 40 years.

Can't be too sure, but aren't they the only club to have played in all six divisions of the football league as well?

 

[spring hall convert]

The only team not to have finished in the top 6 of any division in the last 40 years.

Great stat.

 

[El Presidente]

Is it all down to the detective work of an NSC'er who revealed on Radio Coventry exactly what the Coventry owners were up to?

 

[keaton]

Can't be too sure, but aren't they the only club to have played in all six divisions of the football league as well?

What are the six divisions?

 

[Hiney]

What are the six divisions?

One
Two
Three
Three (South)
Three (North)
Four

 

[Silverhatch]

Spent many Saturdays at Highfield Road while at Warwick (Coventry) Uni. Good club Coventry with some very funny supporters (you have to have a sense of humour to live in Cov). They also appear to have mobilised themselves Albion-style to put pressure on both sides over the past 12 months. Chuffed for them and the City.

How did we play in the North division? (and how have i never heard this?)

 

[Simster]

Their fans still seem very polarised if the comments are anything to go by.

But surely being back in Coventry is a start. I used to love Highfield Road - maybe they should never have left.

No, it's a Cov stat.
