Yup .. arrive Thursday night and staying at a Pub south of town. Plan to do a quick walk around town before the match so I'm sure we can find a decent pub downtown before getting a taxi to the match. Any recommendation welcome/appreciated.
'The Town Wall' for a traditionally old pub!! Well it was till they did it up, but still has a sense of tradition about it.

It's a motley crew with origins in Mexico, Puerto Rico and Venezuela but we all met through our kids football teams.. a mix of dads and coaches. We committed a couple of years ago to make a trip to England watch some Football & Rugby matches and we finally got it sorted with a packed schedule of matches and driving!

South Americans/Coventry - travelling around football grounds - it might be because I'm watching Ozarks on Netflix, but if this isn't a Mexican drugs cartel expanding their territory, I'm Donald Trump's love child (y'all). P.S. Enjoy your time over here!

I've got a mate who moved to Texas last year from down this way on the South Coast. I've noticed that he's started using 'y'all' on posts to his new American acquaintances.

Makes me wanna e-punch him.

Drink in the City centre near the cathedral. It's very nice around there.

Just about to tuck into my faggots and mash that i remembered being told by someone that a pub/club called glamorous ( think it was called rainbows before ) is the place for a good night (never been myself).....but was told that its buckaroooing all night..

Greyhound is a good one - with good British beer & then you can hit the tables in the Ricoh casino before the match.
Sounds like the perfect evening to me!!

A group of four of us from Houston, Texas is coming to the Cov City v Peterborough Friday night match on Nov 23rd. First time in Coventry and first time at the Ricoh so seeking ideas on local watering holes to meet-up pre/post match.

Foleshill Gas club is a decent place. You may have to pay a pound to get in though.

A great trip with some good fixtures in there. Texas you say? Has anyone told you what the weather will be like here in late November?!

I recently bumped into an American chap outside a bar in Amsterdam who has slagging off Coventry much to my humour.

Is this a complete coincidence or is this you? The chap said he was going there to visit a friend.

Either it's a small world or everyone just slags Coventry off wherever you go. Either is believable!

Not me I'm afraid. I had an friend and co-worker from Leamington ( now lives in Alpine, TX) who introduced me to the joys of Cov City and managed to catch a match with his dad at the old ground many years back.
