With those assembled watching a dvd of the League Cup win at Manchester United, guest speaker John Sillett.
The man who led us to FA Cup glory in 1987,said it was good to see Coventry back in business.
Hero of the Diamond Club and many of its members George Hudson was mentioned with Snoz commenting: "What a man,what a player.".
Iain Dowie also received praise. "A manager is always worth his salt when he can change a result," said Sillett,commenting on City's fight back against Charlton.
Nowaday's,John is involved with race horses and has seven with three trained by his wife Jean who also attended the lunch.
He was pleased to be welcome back by the club who now look after former players.
One of the men responsible for our heroes being welcomed back to the club is Paul Fletcher.
The Club's MD told us about his young grand-daughter learning a few swear words whilst sat amongst the City support at Manchester United.
"Operation Premiership" to him had three main facets. The first was a manager and in Iain Dowie,he believed we had the right man.
Two is the structure of the club which means that the club is now run better than it has been in years.
Three is new investment and Mr Fletcher said that the club must buy back its shares in the arena.
This has proved a stumbling block and he said that talks with four bidders were still on-going but he was hoping for business to be concluded in two to three weeks.
A quiz followed before those assembled were introduced to Pete Chambers - Coventry Music Historian and author whose fourth book "Godiva Rocked To A Backbeat" is now available.
Pete spoke about the Coventry Walk Of Fame which will see plaques erected to honour those over the years who have served our city in a wide variety of fields including music and sport.
Lionel Bird's whose new book about the history of the Coventry City Supporters Club which did so much for the club at Highfield Road between 1920 and 1970 is likely to be available in November, also spoke as did Covsupport's Kev Monks.
After the bingo and a raffle,the lunch finished with a tour of the Isle Of Capri Casino.
The Diamond Club's next lunch is on Wednesday December 5th and members will be informed in writing.
