Trollope was a worse manager than Beamish - although to get a side relegated with players of the calibre of Mayes, Rowland, Miller etc was a piss poor effort
Beamish took us to our lowest ever finishing league position and had us playing hugely unattractive hoofball, albeit on almost a shoestring budget, but IMO he was a far worse manager than Trollope. under Trollope we had some great games like the 7-0 thrashing of Aldershot and had us playing quite attcking football in the main, our main problem in the first season in the 4th division under him was our poor away results otherwise we would have finished hugher than the 8th place we did finish in.

73-74 always sticks in my mind as particularly dire. Bottom of the league by a country mile nearly all season, out of cups early rounds and some very poor players in the squad. Only bright spot I recall was the signing of Eastoe late on.

Anyone see my mate in the Town End? He was in Cardiff for the Wales v Scotland game and decided to go to the game on the way back to London.
He texted me when I was in Turkey to say he was very impressed with the atmosphere from the Town End.
Forgot to say, he was wearing a kilt so was probably quite noticeable!

Think I saw him on the train and queuing up for a ticket. I remember him distinctly as I was whispering in my 6 year olds ear - 'look, bloke in a dress'.

Do Coventry actually have any local rivals? (first rivals). Nuneaton Borough? AFC Luftwaffe ?

I saw him walking into the TE and someone was shouting 'Wales Wales" to which he just smiled, waved politely and walked off!

Ah, he mentioned that! He was a bit let down that he didn't receive more abuse I think!
