Rowdy yes, but not people attacking each other in the stands, which has given the authorities the excuse they need to start withholding tickets
It's different now, but by around 2009-10, the corner was busy. The Leicester, Birmingham and Leeds games were always rowdy up there.
I remember a game against West Brom as well being noisy. Think it was a draw?
Sorry the banter word has been cancelled - not allowedMost modern atmospheric areas in football stadia are next to away fans. You need it for the 'banter'.
Block 14 and 15 really got going around 2009. I remember when we beat Birmingham 1-0. Not as full as now but it was electric.
Then when we played Blackburn in the FA Cup, it's was incredible. Must have been 3 people to a seat up there at that time.

Yeah I remember a good few bottles and coins being thrown from our end into the Chelsea fans.Course but that one fan has now limited 2000 fans.
There was more trouble at other games. Even the Chelsea game I remember stupid amounts of bottles being thrown. Way more than the Derby game.

Always remember one Chelsea fan with glasses, rightly so, shouting what the fuck are you doing there’s woman and kids in here.
We had proper little club syndrome for that game.

It'll be interesting to see what the club do WHEN we're playing in the Premier League next season. Will they continue to reserve all behind the goal for away fans? Or will they split it 50/50 Cov/away as I can image the demand would be there for home fans.
If they do split behind the goal, the club need to advertise that section as the new standing/singing area and urge all the naughty corner to shuffle over a few blocks. It would completely kill any atmosphere if the standers/singers are still in the corner with two blocks of silent Coventry fans separating them and the away fans.
No, it's just the idiots at the arena think keeping fans apart and directing them to the same area will sort it when the best thing to do is get as many fans to mix as quickly as possibleInteresting at Sheffield United today. Exiting the away end you walk directly into the oncoming Sheffield United fans.
No trouble.
At the Ricoh we need a 100m long 3 metre high fence splitting fans up. Are we just naughty boys?
Yeah, Separating fans gives a clear 'us and them' divide. Coming out of the ground today I had no idea who to punch as we were all mixed together, So in the end I just didn't bother and went for a drink.No, it's just the idiots at the arena think keeping fans apart and directing them to the same area will sort it when the best thing to do is get as many fans to mix as quickly as possible

Was Wheat on their bench? Can't picture Sheaf throwing punches.Heard a few handbags were thrown by the wheat sheaf ? Anyone see much ?

I liked the guy in the motorway hi vis orange outfitFair play to Birmingham, they defo win the award for most 'up for it' fans at the Ricoh for many years.
Never seen so many chubby blokes and spotty teenaged all wearing then same jacket.
Funny
I was there at this point outside Pizza Hut nothing happened was around 15 blues kids and the same Cov....Cov fans didn’t back down the police flew in as it was right where the old bill was stoodBy Pizza hut. Birmingham fans picking off Coventry fans.
Kicked off before the game too. 20/30 bloos fans in balaclavas doing the 'Zulu' shite right outside Block 15. Didn't even well when they were totally outnumbered.

They didn’t really want trouble that’s why they do it in them places must of been 100 old Bill and 20 dogsI'm impressed anyone kicked off with that many police about.
A few lads got jumped by about 10 blues fans in the car park after the underpass. They weirdly made a very big point of declaring they were the blues mob by constantly repeating “We’re the fucking blues”. Was almost like they weren’t the blues but wanted people to think they were. Didn’t see the very start but few cov lads were walking then running away and blues fans chased, punched and kicked them to the floor. Thankfully, once they were on the floor one of them ensured they didn’t take any more of a pasting. Just no need for it at all.

They were good, don’t sing generic songs either…
True. The game itself ruined the atmosphere.Hard to sing watching that grim shite every week
I enjoyed the first half……True. The game itself ruined the atmosphere.
Few of their fans on Twitter saying it was difficult to generate a good atmosphere with such a big following and saying Luton away (1100) was a much better atmosphere from their fans.Not bad second half, but absolutely silent in the first.
They've been a lot better in the past.
