i lived in Coventry for a few years,
 first time i ever went to highfield road was somewhere around 78/79, stood behind the goals in the away enclosure, saw Andy Gray score a cracking diving header, we won.

lovely walk home across the park,   not

Can't stand the football club, however always loved the away trips despite one of their lot spitting in my face. The banter at Highfield Road was ace. One of my favourite ever goals was when Stan Staunton won it in the 83rd min. As i say hate the club but would like to see them ok. Don't look good though.

I won't be shedding any tears for them - hate the jealous in-breds more than Blues

I couldn't honestly give a toss about them. I've always found their pathological hatred of us amusing. Felchers

I think it's scary as this could quite realistically be us in a few years if we don't sort ourselves out.

We own our ground though and we have a great owner, they do not!

They may not have enough funds to last till the end of the season.

Some fool will take them on, probably after administration.
