Just had this through the door (5 Viewers)

[Covcraig@bury]

It may have been the game before or Sunderland but the turnstiles were closed and everyone had to go through the disabled entrance and despite the big queue they just marched up to the front and demanded to get in

I seen this. It was the Scumberland game. Knocked on the exit gate like opening of parliament. Self righteous tramps . And whilst I’m on one, they reserve a table in the Anicdote … makes my piss boil

I have once seen them getting let in through one of the large exit doors while there were large queues waiting at the turnstiles. Didn't even bother going near the queues - just walked right past and towards the exit. Could be a number of reasons for that but definitely came across like they did this all the time and they expected it.

Also there are so many away games where they're on the front row as they are at the CBS. How many away games do you get to choose your own seat when buying, because otherwise it's an incredible coincidence they often appear in exactly the same place as if it were a home game...

He knocks on the door as he always does because he’s told to because that’s what he’s told to because that’s what you do when you’re disabled

He gets the front rows at away games because he queues at the ticket office.

Legends in their own minds. Even weirder people hold them in the same regard.

Well they are disabled so have the right to do so, like other disabled fans are.

Well reserve one yourself if your that bothered.

If you have a problem with them, tell them to their faces. They are in their 70s and disabled what are you scared of.

Considering tickets are supposed to just be allocated as they come out it's incredibly lucky that they seem to get to the front of the queue at exactly the point where the equivalent seats to where they sit at the CBS are the next available. Unless you're saying that at the ticket office you get to choose your seat, because that's not the way I understand it to work.

I’m disabled but I queue up like everyone else. There’s only 1 I know who is disabled and the rest are tailgating

You seem to be the only bloke on this forum of people who regularly attend home and away games, who seem to think they aren't pricks

Ask yourself that

Many people, myself included have seen them be rude to club staff, other fans, force children to move seats in stands and coaches, push in in front of people because they think they're entitled

Now you're probably one of them, or friends with them, but I won't change my view because of that

I and many other have seen Dave Kay one minute dancing around pissed up like it's an ABBA night, yet limping about with crutches the next

The fanbase didn't have an issue with any of them before, they do now because they take liberties and try and be 'the face of the club'

there are plenty of disabled people who go through the gates and not the turnstiles. Like an old lady we used to take. So you don’t and

The game in question all had to go in through the entrance as 44 and 45 were shut. They ignored the queue and went to the front

They are rude and disrespectful

Taking their PIP away will cure them

I’m not one of them but know Dave. The majority of the fanbase don’t have a problem with them. But as is usual a small vocal minority of people do, and that’s ok but the vitriol of these people you included who spout this smelly benefit fraud bollocks now that is not ok.

And … theres fuck all wrong with them when we score. Jumping up and down like gazelles . I might start filming them and dub them into social

I’d wager that this is categorically false.

Shows how much you really know then.

Dave has a leg that has died due to an accident, he will not allow them to amputate it.
As for Fred he only makes a handful of games these days as he can't walk very far and some days can't walk at all.

But hey keep taking the piss out of the disabled, says more about you then them!

I’m going to say you’re a hatter , might be wrong but you are very protective. And yes I do know Fred and have done for years along with Dave . Now they’re bringing the young ones up dressed like tramps. I can take the piss out of disabled as I am one, but don’t take the piss. Even Happy ( Dave Kelly ) avoided them on the away coaches. Totally embarrassing

he isn’t a hatter to be fair.

I am friends with Dave Kelly also friends with Fred and Dave have known all of them since the early 80s, like chalk and cheese.
As for being a hatter far from it, don't wear replica tops very often just don't get the hate, so they love getting on the telly and radio everyone for their own don't like it don't watch it simple really, but calling people tramps because they wear Cov City tops and wooly hats is just childish.

 

[Domo]

Its just in general they are obnoxious and privileged

not privileged enough to have an account on here, amirite?

 

[wingy]

Got to have someone to look down on, pathetic!

But we don't get that choice do we. Because they love the attention they've become the unofficial 'face' of the fans in the media. Like that prick with the bell at Portsmouth.

Now I don't begrudge them that, though for me it's about watching the game not getting my face on the telly - if they were youngsters today they'd undoubtedly have a YouTube channel or something.

But if they are starting to get above themselves and take liberties because of their 'fame' then that's not on.

 

[Tommo1993]

They turned up in Northampton on the hill for one game. The game against Bradford when the Sky cameras were doing a bit about it.

I feel like I need to step in with a Mad Hatter story. Quick disclaimer..I know Clint the nephew who does wear a mad hatter hat. Clint as mentioned previously lost his son...and he's always been a decent lad to me. I don't know Dave and Fred. However...

I was on a Harry Shaw coach going away to an away game in the mid 80's and much beer had been had, so a bucket was being used to piss in. This was then brought up to the rear of the coach to chuck out the emergency exit. Fred (long haired one??) had taken responsibility for carrying the bucket up the isle and as he made his way up he started to swagger a bit and it sloshed over the side of the bucket over me and my mate. I spent the day stinking of piss and was just a kid who didn't quite have the confidence to punch one of the older lads in the face.

So if anyone should feel agrieved its me and my mate (who went on to make quite a name for himself as a bit of a lad up the City). But I don't..All the stuff they do is absolutely not my thing...but they are passionate and have been part of the City fan group since I first started going up and years before I'm sure. So for that they need some respect. I don't though respect people who are rude and push in regardless of disability...but I have personally never seen that. ...if I did..yes I may feel differently.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

A Leeds fan I work with calls them the Coventry ultras.. I will leave that with you … for now

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

They are self entitled whenever they go (be it a pub, home/away game as per comments above) and they actually stink of piss

He stinks of piss and he's got no mates

 

[Covkid1968#]

Actually I had one mate and one mate only that day…after a while you do get used to it and I’m told that the smell of urine is a turn on to some women. Those women usually hail from Leicester mind.

 

[TomRad85]

I bet Fred gives a good gummy BJ

I wish i hadn't read back through this thread. Should probably have done some work instead.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I remember them giving Jorge Grant abuse all game when we beat Notts County 3-0 first game of the league two season… end of the game Grant stuck 2 fingers up at them and one of them started kicking off shouting “he swore at me” proper toddler like

sat in the legends lounge dressed like that as well
