And radio 5 live or whatever it was at the time said they felt sorry for the 49 Coventry fans who had made the trip. You being one of course
And me. And at least a few hundred more. Game was live on Sky so it was always going to get a low attendance. How do I know it was on Sky ? Another of my infamous "Spot the fat guy with the beard and keep showing him" moments. I was already going to get an Equity card for all the times I'd been on Match of the Day
But joking apart, the wonderful away trip to Blackburn was another 5 Live love-in with our opposition. Blackburn to go top for the first time in their history if they beat us. They were so condescending about us, Jonathon Pearce and whoever was co-commentating were discussing our red/white paint splash kit when Lee Hurst scored a scorcher to get us up to 2-1. "Oh, Coventry have scored"
The game was recorded on videotape and available in the club shop. And even though there were 200-400 Cov fans, I appeared 5 times on that bloody video.... should have asked for royalties
