The_Rev Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Aren't the Coventry fans the lot that used to routinely bottleneck our away fans after games and chuck bricks, stones and beat them up or was that stoke? I've been to Highfield Road as an away fan six or seven times and never had a problem like that. I did think I was going to get my head kicked in after the infamous Robbie Keane game in 99, but that was the first time they had beaten at their place (with our recently signed Dion Dublin) in about 7 years so I guess they felt entitled to act like utter pricks that night. Fixed plus,I was at that game in the Cov end with my cousin as a 13 year old I could hardly contain my glee when Dion scored in front of us, we were about 3 rows back from the goal. Got a ribbing come full time though Cov fans were chanting "You can stick your Dion Dublin up your arse!" literally as he scored. It was a beautiful moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Highfield Road is the only place I've witnessed a fan being bitten by a police dog. Can still hear his screams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I hope the dog didn't catch anything serious from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might have been me. I got bit for stepping off the pavement in a police escort. Can't remember what year but it was a night game.

Dodgyknees Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) They have (apparently) been selling old Leicester shirts as 'new' shirts of their own. Lol " Coventry City fans have been left fuming after the club were caught selling old Leicester City shirts – as the Sky Blues’ new kit."http://metro.co.uk/2014/11/13/coventry-city-caught-selling-old-leicester-city-tops-as-new-kit-for-15-4947062/ Edited November 13, 2014 by DK82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Lost again today at the Ricoh following on from the Worcester humiliation. I mentioned it last season but if someone can knock up the stats for their last 23 games at the Ricoh compared to their 23 games infront of two men and his dog at Northampton I'm pretty sure you'll find they had a much better record in exile. Not sure what the logical reason is for this as you'd have expected them to get a big lift going back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 15, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 15, 2014 They're dangerously close to the relegation zone. I was at a wedding yesterday and the groom is a huge cov fan. This was his table plan Pretty cool I thought, even if it is Coventry. Gutted I wasn't on the Dion Dublin table 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I've met a few, in my experience they differ from small heath fans as to the untrained eye they appear quite normal. However, tell them you're a villa fan and they get very emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
