Here we go.
It’s Halloween apparently, and this town is coming like a ghost town. All the clubs have closed down. Well, not all of them, otherwise nobody would go out. The 147 is a good place to go though. Our extensive look at Coventry, and it’s ability to transform itself from a place of lost spirits to a place that sells them is legendary. So here is our warm welcome to the forum for Coventry people, the myths, the lies and of course the fingery pokery.
So why Coventry ? Is it an experiment ? Why when it rains do the locals dance in their high rise flats with bum inserts and different colour socks on ? Coventry is a magnificent example of heroism, failure and Jaguar Land Rover. Choose your weapons this is it. It’s the worst place to bring up any form of zoo animal, the terrain isn’t suited to it. Unemployment is at 5%, that’s quite low when compared to another place with higher unemployment like 6% or even 7%. Clive Owen, a local man of some repute, a lower region lady magnet indeed, a formidable attraction of the moister heterosexual and indeed other sexuals Is noted as an authority on things he knows about. We had a trawl through other notable folk from the area, and sadly there are none. The murky waters of this splot on the landscape is such that there is no hope for anyone who resides there. All we can hope for is a quick entry and exit on Tuesday night. Ask Clive Owen.
How can I watch this veritable feast of football ?

Or get off your backside and go to the game.
As has been pointed out by one of our more informed posters Coventry is a City of culture for 2021. And one of the best-known prizes for visual arts in the world, the Turner Prize 2021 is coming to the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum in Coventry as part of UK City of Culture 2021. The Turner Prize is awarded annually to an artist born, living or working in Britain, for an outstanding exhibition or public presentation of their work anywhere in the world in the previous year. We like Coventry it’s a great place, thank you Coventry.
The music
While most people associate Coventry with 2-Tone, the truth is that Coventry had a very vibrant music scene at the end of the 1970’s. This was partly a legacy of the the 1960’s R&B boom and partly an extension of the 1970’s Punk explosion which had made its way up from London (The Sex Pistols and The Clash played a gig together in Coventry). The music scene was also supported by a mix of venues. The large venues catered to the big touring bands, while the smaller venues were key for the development of a local music scene. Finally, local music magazines and independent record shops were key for spreading the word about bands and giving people a place to meet. Indeed, 1979-80 was a golden era for music in Coventry, as there were lots of bands playing different styles of music, who all knew one another and engaged in friendly rivalry. The Specials and 2-Tone's early success also seemed to galvanize the scene. Squad were the stars of the local punk scene, having formed in 1977 with Terry Hall as their early vocalist. They released 2 singles (£8 A Week / Red Alert and Millionaire / Brockhill Boys), before Gus Chambers stepped in for Terry Hall who left to join the Specials. They included the song Flasher on the comp. By 1981 the band had broken up and Chambers was fronting 21 Guns who made a single for the Neville Staples record label Shack Records. Their single was 'Ambition Rock'. Unfortunately, Gus Chambers, passed away at the age of 52 on October 13, 2008.
The Wild Boys were a very popular local group, initially started by Roddy Radiation in 1975 and were Coventry's first punk band. The band supported The Buzzcocks, but split up in 1977 just as punk was kicking off. Their influence on the city's music scene was immense and provided the catalyst for the influential punk edge that would emerge later in The Specials. After Roddy left to join The Specials as lead guitarist, the Wild Boys' name was taken over by Roddy's brother Mark. A few months later their reputation was cemented as one of the main draws in Coventry. That reputation was soon to increase even more when they landed two tracks on the "Sent From Coventry" compilation album. The tracks 'We're Only Monsters' and 'Lorraine'were both Roddy Radiation songs.

Coventry seem like a bit of a Jekyll & Hyde team. They've lost to Barnsley, Luton and Preston yet stuck four on Fulham. Play to our best, and we can get something there. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

Tough ask this one, they’ll be pressing high similar to Birmingham. Would like Martin to make use of his squad to hopefully stop a repeat of a Birmingham performance where he said himself 3 games in a week was one to many. |  | | |

This could either go either way, or end up as a dead heat. |  |

I think the difference will be we played Brum within a week after two really draining games.
For 60 minutes on Saturday it was little more than a training game.
Any points in these fixtures will be a bonus IMO but Coventry offers the better chance. |  |
