I was in block 10 day right near the Stoke fans. The 97th minute goal was unreal especially after the amount of abuse thrown our way after it went 2-2

Great atmosphere today. I also noticed the sheer amount of kids at the game. Our last 3 seasons have been really important in getting the kids supporting Cov and now it is really showing. 4 years ago I managed to convert my Leicestershire bound nephew who supported Leicester to a Cov fan and now at 13 he is a huge Cov fan and loves it everytime we see the City play especially today.

I now understand why the clapping was unusually loud

I'm in 11 and had a old couple next to me today. Obviously don't get to games very often (which is fine) and I think they really enjoyed themselves. Clapping along to the songs (they didn't know the words) - felt sorry for the old boy, he kept videoing every corner we had hoping to catch a goal but it never came.

David O'Day · 2025-03-09T00:37:04+0000

It was just massively fun today apart from the 10 minutes after their 2nd

rest really good today

The noise after Bobby's goal was the loudest I've ever heard in the stadium.
Admittedly, I've moved from B23 to B13, but fucking hell...it was spine tingling.

The roar on my tv when his shot went in made me envious wishing I was at the match rather than in Bangkok..

What a goal , but how it was celebrated.
Pandemonium, total ecstasy & the noise ….. I must have played it back 10 times now , just to see what happened after Thomas scored & Lampard , getting jumped on by Bobby , just shows the togetherness at our club ……. Great numbers staying to celebrate with the players & the now obligatory fist pump from Lampard ……. Skyblue dreamland

The local mjpl fixtures were a real nightmare for the ref Secretary to organise. Changing to give the lads a chance to make the game

AFCCOVENTRY · 2025-03-09T07:48:08+0000

Pure vibes of the play off final season again.

I said the same yesterday

Yep felt like that Birmingham at home game

What’s really great is the number of tops
Number of kids
Number of women
Number of all ages
Number of non whites
Everyone sings
Everyone screams
So many fans stayed at the end to to applaud the team
Such a great feeling

This came up yesterday-we decided to go in the club shop just for a look (more me really checking out the retro stuff ) and couldn’t nearly get inside the door. The place was packed to the rafters with long queues of people at the tills with shirts etc at £40-50 a pop.

Back in the UK for the first time in 2 years on Wednesday after a 50 hour return trip from the Philippines , yesterday game made it totally worthwhile. The noise levels were the loudest I have ever experienced going back decades.
The transformation of the club in the last few years is truly staggering, nearly 2 hours before kick off there were seemingly more people there than under the dark days of Sisu .
We now have the feel of a truly big club, which we never felt like in the 30 plus years we spent in the top flight.
King has his critics I know, but the improvements off the field truly match our success on the field under Robins and now Lampard.
You know now you are at the home of CCFC, and the whole match day experience is a million times better than 10 years ago.Cant wait for next Saturday.

Just think what it would be like if it wasn’t a soulless bowl

as a single bloke, being able to shark for women at a football match is beyond my wildest dreams. King in!

I think that is more his brothers suggestion on how to improve the matchday experience

Jarvo87 · 2025-03-09T11:56:40+0000

Super yesterday - much more like it, helped by the last minute winner of course.

But please to a higher authority, can they sort out the prematch music…. Nothing sums up an intimidating/ferocious home support like the Heartbeat theme tune.

I actually like the quick mix of player tunes, does get the corner going

I walked down the east stand yesterday for the first time in ages - usually come from the other way - and had no idea there were loads of bars and food places outside there

Watch out for a GAIL's popping up shortly - A sure sign we're on the up.

I guess they are all queueing up to meet you. Trench coat, trilby and Ray-Bans?

No it doesn’t. It stifles the crowd. Bag of shite being blasted out, damping the singing that the fans are trying to get heard. The music man needs to stand in B15 to hear just how loud it is and how the singing is stifled…Just saying.

Did the same yesterday because the weather was so beautiful - just remarkable how different the atmosphere outside the ground is now. They’ve done a great job with it.

I think the euphoria of being able to watch football (or just be outside!) in the sunshine without wearing a coat or jacket made the whole day feel magic.

Agreed.

The difference from freezing your bollocks off a few weeks ago, to getting your legs out on a Saturday morning is chalk and cheese.

Been like it for the last 2 seasons, no through traffic as well, makes for a great atmosphere.

As long as it doesn't rain of course.

Good point regarding the rain. Had a few casual fans with us yesterday so went to Dhllions pre match whereas I'd normally go Hen Lane. Dhllions was buzzing in the sun from 10.30, then went the Cherry Tree after, which was also buzzing

My ST is in the SS on 11 and the crowd follow the songs playing

Do many away fans go into Dhillon's these days?

You must be lucky with the position of the loudspeakers. Too noisy where I am.

Only been in Dhillons for the Ipswich game this year, but there were a fair few away fans there.
No problems.

The roar on your TV depends on what you set the volume at

Not exactly true, depends on how many microphones the TV companies have around the pitch.

Some games on Sky+ and ifollow all you can hear is the commentators.
