I'm an outsider.
I don't go to sixfields.
I am the exception that proves the rule.
3 cheers for me.

Why is it? You've admitted in the past you have a problem with people not born in Coventry from supporting the team as you again mentioned in post #56. Nothing to twist.

CWR is to journalism as Coca cola is to dentistry! This is the same CWR that said DiCanio was going to return straight back to Swindon! Stuart Linnell calls himself a journalist. A broadcaster is a better description, as he hasn't released a valid news item for years! Indeed I wouldn't refer to any of CWR of the CET sports people as journalists
No i haven't.
Where in that post does it say i have a problem with outsiders supporting ccfc?
It doesn't.

Because this a forum dedicated to CCFC fans

As I said later quote some of the things we have heard this season can be suspicious. I find CWR generally alright to be honest better than BBC Devon*
*I sometimes listen to Exeter City's game when we are playing at Sixfields as I am not paying for the membership.

Who in <90% of peoples mind would not exist if the stadium was built outside Coventry.
This comments on this thread are about options for the Ricoh when CCFC have left Coventry.

More lies I don't attend Sixfields but would if a ground was built in the area. Most Coventry fans would not want a pub side subsidised to play in a stadium that never offered CCFC the same deal.

You really are a dick at times.
I am a Coventrian, but my dad is from Newcastle. My dad was a Newcastle fan, but when he moved here changed to the City to support his local team, and because of his time and effort I became a fan and was able to watch the club with my old man. I have watched hundreds of games with him, and he is as passionate about the club as I am, but apparently not according to the utter shit you spout, that it doesn't mean as much if you weren't born in the city.
Does that make me a better fan than him because I am from Cov, does it hell. You just spout this utter shit to try to win an argument and its bollocks.

No Valiant siad its true, he has doen a straw poll of one, and come up with 90%.
Count me in the 10% then.

Should be "up to" 90% which is based on 90% refusal to attend Sixfields.
Agree first part, and as I am based down that there london mid week, only listen to CWR on weekends. I'll take your word on CWR in general, but Stuart Linnell thinks he is one of Woodward or Bernstein! Wasn't Linnell kicked off Mercia for allowing a hate campaign against Oggy's wife ages ago? I remember some sort of ruccous at the time. And I always find it a bit irksome a radio presenter putting himself across as Mr Coventry. Especially considering he broadcasts on northampton during the week, and how he jumps down the throat of anyone who disagrees with him! Not good considering he is working for BBC (sorry he doesn't "WORK" for the beeb, just presents a radio programme in Northampton using HIS name, and a sports programme on saturday as the MAIN presenter! Clearly what he considers "working for" and what I and HMRC consider "working for" are 2 different things!
Many builders are self employed but work for others. Mr Linnell just does not get this!

Really?
My criteria is that the Coventry team MUST play in Coventry if I am to attend/support. I might think about it if it is close to the boundary.
But if outside the boundary and its closer to another town I'm out.
I'm not saying that I would support a 'pheonix' team just that ACL should consider it once CCFC have moved out of town..
Of course its not bollocks.
Im Coventry born and bred, the city and the club go hand in hand.
Do man u fans from bury have the same passion for man u as the mancs that were born and bred in the city.
Of course they fucking don't.
It's you that is talking utter shit.

So just so's I'm clear...
Those born in Cov who then move out count in your list?
Those born in Rugby, say, who then move into Cov at 6months old count?

@ Moff....It's all about "Roots" mate. I don't believe for one second if Coventry played Newcastle that he wouldn't support "The Magpies" I've lived in South Wales for over 30 years, and played for Cardiff Devils and South Wales police teams(Ice Hockey) and would cheer on "The Blaze" rather than a Welsh team....Maybe your Dad is different from me, but have yet to meet a "Geordie" that isn't "Black and White" striped through and through.
NW,You know full well what i mean.i If i started supporting Leicester would i have the same passion for the football club as someone who's lived in the city all his life?
People can support whoever they like,but all the years of shit,brummies, leicester folk etc taking the piss out of our city, the anger and elation comes out when we score against them.
That's the Coventry kid in me giving the finger to the bastards.
You really think someone who has no ties to Coventry apart from the club feels like that when it happens?
No chance.

I am Coventry born and bred. Allesley in Coventry all my life and that will remain till I die hence why I hate man u fans etc. Glory fans. You can support Coventry if you should be mad enough but it that comes from relocation or anything then im afraid I don't have the same in common.
We are all fans correct but nothing makes me prouder than a Coventry city game and all fans from Coventry and we score a goal against Leicester or villa. Football was originated in cities and towns not through relocation or move jobs. When success and football took off fans went and support "big" teams.
Look back to that video from the 60's with JH and all singing our song. How many of those fans at HR that day on the pitch came from say Manchester. I would guess and not one.

Totally disagree, my Granda was Glasgow born and bred, lived about 2 mins away from Ibrox. When we moved our family down to Coventry back in the 60's for the automotive jobs, he loved he city. Prior to him passing away he would also say he was a city fan and not Rangers, as this city has been good for him and his family. All of his family are city fans now albeit Scottish in origin.

Maybe Moff and his dad are part of that rare breed of Cov fans that go to sixfields ?
The sixfield cov fans are the ones that really confuse me !!

Ah, people seem to fall for this argument all the time. Vailantt may be wrong but he is only here for the wind up anyway.

Don;t really care if they do or not tbh.
All I care about is he cares about the same club as me.

@ Covstu.....Why do you only mention Rangers? What about Celtic, and Partick Thistle? Rangers "Supporters Club" is right outside Celtic's ground!..........There are Birmingham fans who have always lived in Aston, and Villa fans who have always lived in (For example) Edgebaston....Aston is within Birmingham conurbation. My Grandad was born and bred in Accrington, he also played football for "Stanley" and Burnley, but moved to Coventry just like your grandad for the car factories. He followed Coventry, like I follow Cardiff, but there is only one team he truly "Followed"...The place of his birth..Accrington! like mine is Coventry.
