Me too. And many others. It's stopped a few going, never to return as well.
Still pissed off that they're not called VS Rugby anymore
The 'I just want to watch rugby' lot annoy me. Always ask them how many times they have been to see CRFC, yet to have anyone answer saying they've ever been to a game.
they're not really CCFC fans then are they if they only watch another team playing a different sport?Never been to a CRFC match even when they were the top rugby team in England.
Never been to Bedworth rugby either and it's on my doorstep.
My only live rugby was watching Coventry Welsh ladies.
Always liked watching England rugby on the telly and Wasps is the same level including all of the tv replays which add to the occasion.
I don't blame Wasps for the situation we put ourselves in and don't believe we had the clout to run ACL even if Sisu wanted too.
Wasps home matches were never going to interfere with my CCFC matches.
So it was easy for me to give it a go and I'm glad I did as its another afternoon out I can look forward too. Also I'm really into the away matches live on BT.
It's the way it is for me and I know of several others that do both.
I do know some CCFC fans that only do Wasps now but I'm not there yet.
You don't need to go and watch the team to support them.they're not really CCFC fans then are they if they only watch another team playing a different sport?
just find it strange to refer to people as CCFC supporters when they put their time and effort into watching a different team play a different sport while not bothering with the team they purport to support!You don't need to go and watch The team to support them.
Sphinx have been around for at least 50 years.
Well, if things stay the same , I can see alot more fans turning to United , me included .
Much longer than that, it was the works team of the Armstrong Siddeley company. The Sphinx is the company figurehead and was mounted on their car radiators.
Many ccfc fans don't go, many city fans watch other sports be it rugby, speedway, ice-hockey, they are different sports ffs! I remember back in the 70s plenty of us use to go from Highfield Road to watch the Bees, what's the problem with that ?
Established in 1946.
I have actually seen Sky Blue Kid play football.
I hesitate to ask if he could do a better job up front than our current bunch...

The only non league club I've watched is those cup games coventry sporting played.

must have been in the days of the heavy leather ball, sticking his head on it for 90 minutes.Wasn't he a centre half? I'm sure he will be along soon to tell us.

Something must have made him the way he is!!
In fairness, he must have been decent, Cov Sporting weren't a bad side.
what year was this?I was young but I have some memories of the games. When they beat Tranmere it was a real story.
what year was this?
It could be called .........the "el ring road classico"Then we will have the New Firm Derby, United v City!!
Classic!
No need for any precedent to be set, the stadium is currently used for paying spectator sport and has a capacity I think of 4000 might be more. That door has been shut now sisu must look elsewhere, perhaps that other site Fisher has up his sleeve.
Hardly, I watched a football game there back in the 1960's. It was a Coventry XI vs a Rest of the League XI. Might have been a testimonial. I forget the details, Football has been played there many times in the past.
Because there is now an occupant as well as Cov rugger, and I suspect a preferred tenant.Why is the door shut?

Rugby Town vs Coventry tomorrow (Sunday) - legends game.Watched COV sporting a few times, and VS Rugby at Wembley
Makes you wonder how many would go if a Premier League team were shipped in...
I was there for that one too. Stood in the West End and I think the Peterborough fans thought they would have the whole terrace to themselves. Bit of a surprise for them when so many Cov people turned upCoventry Sporting were a thriving club back in the day. That FA cup run was brilliant where they beat Tranmere Rovers 2-0 at Highfield Road and lost in the next round to Peterborough again at HR, I remember lots of aggro that day with
Peterborough fans being chased out of West End across the pitch to the Kop end, which spoilt things. Sporting got into financial difficulties not long after and got swallowed up
by the expanding Warwick University
Agree, didn't agree to the change to rugby United let alone rugby town. Could run a thread on poor ownership there at rugby town not quite sisu standard but close. Another club who don't listen to there fans
