Coventry City Relegated

[tonyhorne]

To the 4th division (dunno what it is called these days but it's deffo the 4th division, I counted them). Relegated from the 3rd after a draw with Charlton.

I remember when this was a top flight fixture.

Whatever else we have to moan about at Everton, at least we have avoided this (just about at times, I know)...

Despicable what has happened to that club.

Unfortunate it was Charlton who sent them down as they are equally managed by melts.

That's a shame . Always had a soft spot for Cov ever since they won the cup. I mean how can you not be impressed with Brian Kilcline?

Remember it well. Caused a law change. Have to take free kicks one footed these days...

Scored by ex Blue Ernie Hunt.
His first name is Roger. Hence the quiz question name two players in a Merseyside Derby who had the same name?

Coventry City. Coventry. The Cov.

Still reckon we missed out big time here....

Sad to see a once great club in terminal decline.

Always remember how gordon strachan was so desperate to relegate us when at Coventry.

Think we took their end that day

Been twice to highfield road
Horrible ground
Been once to the Ricoh horrible team
Really is a bad example of what can happen if you mess about with football teams
I blame Gordon strachan and big Ron

We should've finished the job of off that the Germans started and flattened the place.

National League beckons.

At the time, it was us, Coventry and Arsenal who had this long term unbroken record of top flight football, do I guess they wanted us down do they could then be on an elite of two.

Nearly was us, there but for the grace of whichever God you follow.
