I remember going to Coventry in 1989 in the League Cup being 3-1 up and losing 3-0!

That was 28 years ago. Oh my god... how time flies.

I think Tony Rees got sent off as well.

It's nice to be back playing bigger clubs like Coventry.

I look forward to going to the Ricoh at back end of season.

We want a win Saturday, but a draw would top off a great league start - 4 points out of 6 wouldn't be bad.


4 points from 6 against two teams relegated from league 1 would be a cracking start.

I do actually admire their fans; an enlightened, go-ahead club  suffered an appalling buy-out by a hedge fund which is driving them into oblivion. It takes a loyal fan to keep following them as far as here despite what they have become.

First ever job and I lived 5 mins from the highfield Rd the night of the 3:0 defeat. I was naturally a town season ticket holder at the time doing a lot of travelling

I'm ashamed to admit I was at Highfield Road in 1973 to see Town lose 1-0 to a disputed penalty from Grimbarian Mick Coop . Thousands of Town fans were there,

It was, but I think it was Johnnie Rowan.

Bob Carolgees - do you mean that fat bloke who used to play for New-cassul?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
