Tried to take my 5 year old a few years back and her favourite player was the linesman! Will probably try again later this year. That was her first memory!
I was hooked after my dad took me to highfield road for the first time. My two older brothers supported Leeds and Stoke city but for me it was always the sky blues. Used to live in Dane road so not far to the ground and I used nearly every penny of my pocket money to get in nearly every home game.
Grew up loving Ian Wallace and Mick Ferguson and also Colin Stein. Sat here trying to remember a game where I think Ferguson scored 4 goals and on the scoreboard it said Ferguson 4 Ipswich 0.
At least I think it was Ipswich.
Great days at Highfield Road
Strange that it says the 3-2 semi final win against Leeds was at Highfield Road !!
*Almost forgot my Dad also took us to the infamous Banik Ostrava game where Dobson scored from in his own half. Almost legendary this game and half of Cov claim to have been there when in reality only the main stand was open and one solitary fan in the Kop, who incidentally was a mate of ours at the time, Jamie Clelland, who we were meant to be meeting in the Kop but my Dad chose to go in the main stand instead.
Give it a few more years and the myth will have spread to him scoring from taking a goal kick!I was there and I'm fairly sure he wan't in his own half, I remember it as him being about 40 yards out.
I'd always assumed that you got into CCFC because we've had the most interesting set of accounts to analyse over an extended period of time!was taken to my first match 1968 ......... at Maine Rd ............ we lost 4:2 but I was hooked. It was one big day of adventure and the right Sky Blues, CCFC, became my team
Manchester City v Coventry City, 21 December 1968
I think we are going up again this season.Can honestly say from the first game my dad took me to watch in the sixties at Highfield Road I was hooked. Loved it all and even though we've been through it all over the decades, still love my football club.
I said in the pub yesterday we are going up this season coming I just have that feeling, but it was met with ridicule and laughter. They said that's a Cov fan talking with positivity though, and why not !

Just tried to YouTube it but sadly it’s not there.I was there and I'm fairly sure he wan't in his own half, I remember it as him being about 40 yards out.

But you’re probably right. I think over the years he scores from further and further out in my mind!
I disagree. I was there. Now that goal was a long time ago but I can still see it in my minds eye and it was from the half way line.Yeah-definitely a 40 yarder it was-well inside their half.
So was I. Looking out from the West Terrace he hit it well inside the half and it was out to the right which may have made it look further than it was? Shame we can’t find it to have a look.I disagree. I was there. Now that goal was a long time ago but I can still see it in my minds eye and it was from the half way line.
Yep. Have to agree to disagree. I was sitting in the Main Stand so maybe had a better perspective than you!So was I. Looking out from the West Terrace he hit it well inside the half and it was out to the right which may have made it look further than it was? Shame we can’t find it to have a look.
