I remember years ago, (Premiership days), there was a survey conducted and it turned out we had a larger number of ST holders from outside a certain radius of the City that Man Utd. Can't remember what the radius was but I think it was 15-20 miles.
edit - larger percentage of ST holders, not number!

Surprised that no one has yet mentioned Kenilworth. There are a few that come to the Leamington and Warwick supporters meetings and a pub landlord puts on a coach to home games if he has the numbers.

Lived in Wyken for around 30 years and it was mainly City. Live in Cheylesmore now and still quite a few knocking about. Weirdly I met a City fan from Stevenage on the way to Charlton a few years ago. Him and his brother used to go to to Charlton one week and City the next.
Visited the Bounty in Hinckley in the 70s with my mates. Got kicked around and had to seek refuge in the Conservative Club. They didn't seem too keen on people from Coventry.... never went back funnily enough.
Ha I can remember going over to Bubbles on a few Friday nights.
Twas a bit tribal.

Allesley park all my life until moved to Cawston in Rugby 2 months ago.
Big following in Allesley that I knew of and talked to for 30 years. Not sure over here in Rugby although Rugby is a strange place. Could be anything over here.

Eastern Green originally, now in Stroud, Gloucestershire , only a mile or so from Forest Green (hello Alkhen BTW!). There's a few down here that I know and my lad came home from college today saying one of the lads on his course is City too. I know as many Cov fans down here in Glos as I do in Cov.
Few of us in Harbury too mate! Used to be a lot more 20 years ago

Originally from Nuneaton, a lot of the lads I grew up with were City with the obvious sprinklings of Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool etc.
Been living in various areas of west/south west London and Surrey since I was 18, and the City shirt sightings were few and far between to say the least!
Did see a lad with a 12/13 top on in Colombia a few years ago though, looked like a local as well which was all very strange!

I grew up in Rugby and when I started watching us in the mid to late 70's there were always loads of Liverpool & Leeds fans as well as quite a few CCFC fans. My brother was a Man Utd fan and went to watch them regularly with the Rugby Reds and I didn't know how many there were until they all piled on and filled the train home after we had beaten them 3-0 in December 77

not far from where our plant is, Cartwright Farm road.
Nothing pisses you off quite like having to stay away from home in the Speke premier Inn and having your quiet evening pint ruined by a load of pissed up scousers coming into the bar for a sing song before catching their flight to Benidorm.

Quite nice round there, got off the train in Mossley Hill as I had a meeting nearby years ago. Just casually strolled by the end of Penny Lane.

Fleet Hampshire. Bit of a trek but you don't mind when you win. Last season was murder and I had the arse ache for weeks at a time.

Drove just past Fleet yesterday going back to the IoW from London. I did wave, but you were obviously too busy to wave back!
Yes.

That response sums up your contribution to the football aspects of Sky Blues Talk.
Really... you ask me about djs and I say that I haven't heard of them. That implies I am not interested in CCFC? Have you heard of Dire Straights? I think that is where you are....
