Title: An Alternative View Of Saturday's Debacle
Post by: coreyfeldman on May 03, 2016, 11:24:49 PM: Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place but here goes...

A good friend of mine (a Coventry City fan(!?)) who writes an excellent blog came along with us to Watford, returning the 'favour' of me accompanying him to Peterborough V Cov. Seriously. It's as balanced view as anyone can expect from one of those monomanical luddites from down the road, and I even think he managed a ounce of sympathy for us.

Sorry Coventry (or "'Cov'") its true.

Still a good read though!
