Which areas of Cov or out of town? (1 Viewer)

I think you have summed it up pretty well....maybe London Supporters Club deserves a mention.

Oxford

I've always considered Hinkley a leicester hole but apparently there is/was a growing Sky Blue contingent. Any web footed resident of Hinkley care to confirm?!

Add Wolston to the South East

no surprise after their league win. Always thought it was to be honest, but I heard different a while back. Probably wishful thinking by some poor sod living in the middle of them all!

I've always considered to be very much Leicester as well. Went to see us play them in a friendly and loads of them made their way down to the ground afterwards trying to kick off.

They went to the ground after the game? Where was it played originally?

Rugby. There are a few others. Quite often see someone walking around in a sky blue top. The cemetery in hilmorton has a gravestone with a CCFC badge on it (hope you're not turning over in your grave Bill with what's happening at the club). Mac at the Avon Mill used to run coaches to games from Rugby, not sure if he still does as it' was very much number dependent, used it a few times over the years and apparently it used to be two regular coaches at one time. On Wembley day last season I was going the opposite way on the train and Rugby train station was rammed with sky blue shirts going to London.

So there's a few of us in Rugby. Although you quite often see Leicester tops and I know a few lads that support either Leeds or Spurs for some reason plus you're usual glory chasers with Man U, Liverpool tops on.

Someone has already mentioned Wolston and everyone I've ever met from there supports Cov.

Always thought of Southam being Sky Blue heavy also. Known a few lads through work over the years from Southam and surrounding villages and they've almost always been Cov fans.

Known a few from Daventry also which is odd as it was a Birmingham overspill.

Coventry has a hell of a catchment area really. Shame it's never been exploited.

It was a pre-season friendly away at Hinkley in the early 00s

Went to school and lived in Southam until the late 80s. There were a few of us.

I know a few lads in Hinkley who are Sky Blues ST holders

Hinckley and Burbage has a very strong contingent of Sky Blues ! I should know ! SW Leics is probably 15% Sky Blue, 5% other and 80% Leicester !

There's three of us ST holders from
one of those villages near Southam

Used to be a load of us from around Hillfields back in the highfield road days. Everyone I used to know has moved on from there now though. Me included.

Leave my house at 2:58pm, West Terrace at 3:00pm.

All Villa fans over here in Stratford-the odd Blues, West Brom and Wolves fan too.

SW Leics has a minority Cov support

My Nan used to live on the corner of Berry street. Me and my Dad always called in to see her on match days for a cuppa before the short walk through the park to HR... Memories

I miss the magic of HR

Longford/Foleshill/Holbrooks

Tile Hill/Canley/Earlsdon

Wyken/Binley

Bedworth/Nuneaton

In my considered opinion, based on absolutely no facts or statistics...

was over in Stratford one weekend visiting the sister in law and we were in a pub with a lot of City supporters in there. Can't remember the name of the pub but it was up a side street on the edge of the town centre. One of those ones where you step out of the pub straight onto the street and it has a small hard standing garden out the back.

I'm Eastern Green from birth but recently moved to Burbage. Actually closer to the Ricoh than I used to be. Neighbours are all Leicester fans! :emoji_middle_finger:

The old thatch tavern?

Or the lamp lighter?

just googled a picture of both of them, it looked more like the Lamp lighter but I don't remember it been on a corner but it might have been. The memory isn't what it was!

Yeah, lots of nice boozers around here, especially if you like real ale. Not really my thing.

I really like Stratford, hoping to move over and sort of semi retire in the 6-7 years. Probably won't happen with the kids bleeding me dry though!

You need to ask around, you might be surprised how many of us are Cov, thing is of late we haven't been flaunting it a lot .

Although I live here in Riyadh, my home is in Nuneaton and after the cup final in April the KFC at Bermuda ran out of chicken! The reason? too many Coventry fans stopped off on their way back home and overwhelmed them. So Nuneaton is Sky Blue!!!

Haha understandbly so. Good to hear I'm not alone out here in the wilderness! Great pubs!!

What about Bawtry
Saw a guy running through Bawtry in a Cov shirt with Cassidy logo on the front morning. That means there are at least two of us.
Tried to stop him but to quick for me with Sunday papers in hand.

Wyken is a Cov stronghold.

In fact most of the lads in the Devon yesterday are Cov fans with one Villa, one Spurs and a couple of Liverpool fans.

A good few go home and away. But most of us just get drunk and moan about how shit we are.

Split between Leicester and Cov. Would assume it'll become more Leicester as time goes by!
