Since its 9.40 and there have been no takers, here we go.
Too hard to call this one, could easily go either way, should be over 1,000 Town there in a nice stadium, found most of the Coventry fans quite pleasant people (even if their forum contain a few "special" fans but then don't all football forums ours included) all those going enjoy your day out, hopefully with a win.

I've just noticed that we could get into the autos today. Unlikely, but still.
I've got a good feeling about this one, although I'd be happy with a point.

Pre match same old show in The Earl of Mercia.
Got some stick coming out of the railway station, might have been threatened by gangsters.
City of Culture 2021. Wish them well with that.
The Music Museum looks as if it might be worth a look.
On every visit here always seems as if the Luftwaffe have swung by again, but no, it's just planners & architects at work.
A defeat against a direct rival would be damaging, so would happily take a draw.
A 10th away win would be fantastic.

Had a great trip last season and as you say the Cov fans were great, had some really great pre match chats with a lot of them in the Litten Tree, which is where I’ll be today from about 1. Think it’ll be a tough game today and a score draw. |

Our impressive form at Highfield Road / The Ricoh / Six Fields continues (I hope)... 2-0 Anderson, Richards Have to give yet another shout out to swindon-town-fc.co.uk. If there is a better Club related website anywhere I've not seen it. Check this out... http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/HeadToHead.asp?Team=Coventry%20CityEdit: Possibly the best pre-match pub I've ever been to was this one - The Greyhound Inn at Sutton Stop, next to the Coventry Canal, a couple of miles from the Ricoh. Lovely... http://www.greyhoundinn.org |

I'm getting used to us winning away, which means we'll lose. I'm hoping Richards gets a start.

Have a special day WB. Any place that could produce these boys deserves credit.... just look at those jumpers, what taste.

It’s been snowing in Coventry for about an hour now. Pitch is going to be a challenge!

What with that mixed with rugger buggers playing on it every other week could be a day for hoofball. |

I called a draw on this match about a week ago, but the conditions may suit us. Especially if we'll be lumping it up to Richards. A scrambled goal maybe. Cov seem to win or lose by the odd goal. However they've won last three at home..3-2 v Wycombe, 1-0 v Chesterfield, 2-1 v Stoke. I think just one goal will decide this also. I'm going 1-0 or 2-1.....to Town. |
