Ah, the days of watching Callum Wilson score goals for fun whilst sitting around the fire camp singing, mournfully, Play Up Sky Blues.

I think football forums are simply like most of social media - it's an adults playground, most of whom would be embarrassed to say the things they do in person. Without wishing to raise ire, if you read through this thread I think you'll find it contains much the same sorts of comments about the club, city, the fans as the SBT forum does. Bear in mind also, we have a lot of kids that have joined the throng as we climbed our way out of a quite desperate situation, and half of them haven't a clue. Nobody should take things seriously, would be my thought. The funniest chant last year was the 'where were you when you were shit' one from the Brummies. In terms of my feelings towards Leicester, non-plussed really. Good club, always had solid support (better on average than Cov) and who have had a benefactor with cash, well, what's new in football over the last 20 years?. I think of clubs that I don't much care for, but Leicester is not in there, as there's no reason. I suppose in terms of affinity, I'm closer to Brum and Brom, as like many Coventrarians I have roots and old family in the West Midlands.

Yes, you need to keep up with the flow, if you are a nervous or newbie driver I can see why you'd find it a bit unnerving. Still, at least in the national infrastructure survey Leicester's congestion wasn't found to be as bad as Nottingham, so I'm sure you'll take some succor from that. Leicester has some lovely countryside - often ride the motorcycle that way - but I'm careful not to enter the conurbations, as exit wouldn't be easy as there's no good road out.

Yes, but the first team now includes 8 or 9 players who have only trained with each other for weeks, or even days. Think it will be a another slow start for us this season. Probably a good time to play Leicester, rather than a more beatable team as we get into our stride.

Ghost Town was inspired by Jerry Dammer's time in Liverpool. Coventry, like most cities, including Leicester, has some pretty dismal places, and the city as a whole has few attractions, with few reasons for a visit. But As for the ring road, as ugly as it is it is fact one of the finest design feats of inner city travel, in which one can travel to each quarter of the city in minutes, largely in free flowing traffic. I doubt there's another urban roadway system to match. It is the case that visitors get unnerved when using it, as they fail to observe the signs telling them to keep in the right hand/outer lane, and instead use the inside lane that's to be used for entry and exit onto the system.
