[Football] Coventry Fans

[pauli cee]

Must admit, I found most of them pretty decent and good humored on Saturday, plus always interesting to share a good chat about a club being shafted...

" Being a Coventry fan is awful, but I love it", on the BBC website, (must admit, did find the Twist and Shout a bit grinding after a while), and wouldn't have a clue how to post a link, but reminds me of being a Brighton fan, (and England Test Cricket fan), over the years, where you just make the best of a decent day out

Apparently that chant started at half time at The Emirates when they were getting hammered and it came on in the concourse .

Sorry, now maffews away for a couple of weeks, I promised him I'd start a few pointless threads......

Made a welcome change from the entitled, clueless non-football fans I've been having to suffer this season now we've made the 'big time'.

Some tossers giving it large at the John Harvey in Lewes apparently before I got there, but had a good chat with a few normal ones over a beer outside. They have pretty much no hope for the future which is sad. There is interest but asking price from SISU is far too high. Interestingly they said Maguire-Drew was pony and we were welcome to have him back

Most of the ones I met were trying very hard to look like a member of Oasis , it’s not a crime yet but I found it rather amusing at others who had picked up on this and started singing Today is gonna be the day ! La la la de de da da ! Etc , still it made the wait for the Bus interesting, a muted does your boyfriend get the bus was quickly quashed with a rousing retort of , MAYBE , you’re gonna be the one that saves me !

Apart from that not a bad group and we certainly know what they’re going through .

I've seen the same comment from Lincoln fans.


Don't hold out much hope for him making it at the albion after these 2 loans.

There were a few bellends who'd had half a shandy trying to cause trouble at the station after the game.

It was strange how many looked like a member of Oasis until I saw that Paul Weller was on at the Centre. Must have been every birthday and Christmas in one for a fan getting tickets to both in one day.
Many still in town on Sunday as well with their haircuts and Coventry scarves.

Thought they were good - I even ventured into the away end with my Dad after the game to see one of his old friends from up there.

Only major bellends I saw were 2 blokes walking briskly holding various kids hands singing 'FA Cup winners, you'll never sing that' at a pace 100 x too fast with a tinge of anger and venom that they'd got comfortably beat - bless them.

First time this season i've heard any chants about us going down! Was fully expecting this to come from the likes of Chelsea after they hammered us, unless I missed it.

Par for the course at a football game from any teams supporters ...as an aside i walked from Coldean Lane to the ground with a few of them and enjoyed a good football natter

We're far too nice for that sort of nonsense, anyway it's all too complicated at the moment - try singing "You're going down with the Palace, the Saints, the Baggies, the Taffies, the Hammers, the Cherries, the Potters, the Geordies!".The lyrics change each week depending on who's won or lost.

In my experience of living in Coventry, 95% of Cov fans are generally decent and knowledgeable football fans. The other 5% tend to be chavvy thugs with a massive chip on their shoulder. And yes, for some reason there are loads of 'Madchester' types still living in the 90s up here.

To which of course the correct reply is: "Sussex Senior Cup winners - you'll never sing that".

Charity Shield winners?

 

[Napier's Knee]

Charity Shield winners?

Anyone could in theory win the Charity Shield but Coventry - and so many other fans - can never ever rejoice in winning the Sussex Senior Cup. I bet they would be mortified to be told that.

 

[jasetheace]

Generally decent I thought although as if entering a brave new world rather wary of actually being welcomed somewhere.....

Met a bunch in the evening star after the game, enjoyed their day out!

Best and loudest away support of the season I thought.

Group of friends came down for the weekend and joined us in NS concourse for a couple afterwards. A good day was had by all.

They have pretty much given up and know they are going nowhere under their current ownership; was just a bit surprised that they weren't more vocal about getting rid of their owner. Similar plight to poor old Charlton.

Have they tried making their owners' lives a living hell by all means possible within the law? Worked for us.
