Based on my favourite Sky Blues' kit of all time - instantly brings back great memories of watching Tommy Hutchison, Ian Wallace, Terry Yorath, Mick Ferguson & co. with my dad, from behind the goal on the east end terraces. |

Love it - just needs the tramlines to go down on to the shorts to echo the old Admiral one. |

He always took the penalties and I don't think he ever missed one, that line of Farmer, Curtis, Hill was as good as it gets. Thanks for all those years I watched them! |

Ronnie did actually miss one. He said:
"I missed one penalty for Coventry when we played Millwall away in the 1964 promotion push and I hit the post. Alex Stepney was in goal and I beat him but not the post.
"It bounced out and Ronnie Rees followed up and drove it over the bar when he only had to side foot it in. We drew 0-0. But even if you hit the woodwork there's a chance someone can get it on the follow-up."
Sorry to spoil your memory! |

Just read on line that Mike Ashley of Newcastle infamy has bought Coventry's football stadium and the Sky Blues have been bought by a local man named Doug King : that will be a huge topic for City fans. |

Potentially very good news. In one report yesterday, Doug King was keen to give Mike Ashley a quick return on his "investment" in order to bring the stadium and club under one owner. Whichever way it goes, let's hope that they cooperate well, rather than the shenanigans we're seen in the past couple of decades. |

I'm still a bit suspicious about it all. There are still too many comments saying Doug King is linked to SISU in some way and I can't understand why they sold the ground to Ashley when King was prepared to offer £8million more. SISU still own 15% of the club so it's not like we are getting rid of them either. I'm sure there is a lot more to come, sadly for us fans. PUSB! |

Let's hope one of the first things Mike Ashley does is to remove the seats which spell out the name "WASPS". |

As if we haven't had enough to contend with, Mike Ashley & Co have handed an eviction notice to our club. We have 13 days to "clear our desks" and get out. Apparently they claim we now have no legal right to play there!!! |

I personally will boycott all his stores. Sports Direct, House of Fraser, Frasers, FLANNELS, GAME, Jack Wills, Sofa.com, Evans Cycles, USC, and Everlast. |
