Unfortunately I already have alternative arrangement for this weekend, so won't be there.
To be honest I reckon this season will be my worst attendance at away games for as long as I can remember. I've only done 1 away game this season so far, whereas I usually do at least a dozen.

Last year away at Cambridge l arranged the Red Lion Histon as a pre - match venue with a proportion of takings going to the Trust, which I think helped make it a good day (the result helped ) I am trying to organise something for this year. Naturally people ask me about numbers. In better times I could make an “educated guess”, at the moment it’s difficult. The start of this thread spoke about making Coventry a day where the B&W Army makes a show of force - l think that would be great, a lot of new players need to see what they have really signed up for. What ever happens I will talk to the Trust and post here as soon as l can, to tell people what l can sort for the Cambridge game 17th February. I realise Coventry is the bigger game and many people would want to tick that ground off as “one they hadn’t done”. I would love a run of wins were people wanted to go to all the games as part of a reinvigorated B&W Army, however... ............!!!!! Overall it would be great to have a proper awayday WITH THE DRUMMER (where has he been lately ? ) wherever it is, after all WE need a few points and such days must lift the players - especially the new ones who’ve not witnessed it yet. UTMM.

Not a specific reason as such. I am just thinking of some kind of a positive protest. My aim would be to get more Town fans there (3000+) than for a home game. Just to prove a point. Cov would be able to sell us that many and more if required. I see it as twofold. 1, it would show this squad what we can be like on a really good day. 2, if we somehow took a ridiculous amount and it got in the press, it could show any potential investors that the fanbase is there if marketed correctly. An added bonus has been pointed out to me. Coventry fans would be more than happy to join us in proclaiming to Russel Slade just how much he is appreciated in the footballing world !!! It's a win win in my eyes.

| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

We haven't been there before. Wasn't the last time we played Coventry away the year we last got relegated from the championship? (One year after we beat them at Highfield Road to get Strachan the sack - which was only 2001). Ricoh only opened in 2005.

We have been there before. The Strachan sacking was at the Ricoh mate when Jevo scored 1-0. We also played there the season after and lost 2-3 if my memory serves me correctly. I may be going senile in my middle age but believe me i was there and ive never been to Highfield Road. Last time we played at Highfield Road in the League Cup we lost 3-1, Tony Rees was sent off and i just missed out, in 89-90, and started supporting in the 90-91 season.
