As i pulled into the stadium car park yesterday my car showed 32.5 degrees... it was damn hot...
The lightening delay actually cooled the stadium down a bit after a couple of light showers
I got to the stadium nice and early to do some drinking in the car park (tailgating) and was surrounded by Honduran fans...but we had a great time with them.
Loads of England fans floating about and after about 20 minutes of hundreds of fans walking by... the very first 'club' shirt i see (except for the one's we were wearing) was a lady in a Cov home shirt
The group she was with were from Nuneaton and had flown over for the 2 games...:wave:
Then the lad top right of the picture where we are holding the flag open, comes by and we jig a little to 'We want Sisu Out' haha..
We have a beer, he shows his Coventry tattoo's to my American mates and all is good...
Then an official game photographer comes by and starts taking close up pictures of our shirts and the badge..
I ask the lad how\who he is and he's a Cov fan from Stratford..
We go in the ground an hour before K.O and i cannot get the flag at the front for love nor money... just no space at all so i have to put it on the 2nd level and unfortunately when we attacked (which was very rare lol) people stood up and blocked it...
During the lightening delay i had 3 people come up and shake my hand saying they were Cov fans.. one posts on GMK and for the life of me i cannot remember his name..
I love the world cup and cannot wait for Thursday for it to start. We have had a shite season so its nice to look forward to something and all join forces to support one goal. Something us city fans need to do more.
For me the World Cup is about the best teams the best football. Yes I want England to do well, but it is all about the team that wins and entertains. There are are always one or two teams who are just above the rest.
