Don't slag off our own fans mate. There aren't too many who can take 40k to Wembley for L2 playoffs (see Exeter)
They don't care about football mostly

Why? There's nothing else at all around mid-Warwickshire.
I'm actually sticking up for our fans , I'm saying that many people in Warwickshire don't care about football , it's quite an affluent place , they like rugby union more
We have many students too living in Coventry
It is strange that Robins hasn't said anything though .. he's been interviewed since the leaks said he's injured
Burnley also had a similar population to coventry until the 1930s
Ok slipped to 11th apparently, I wasn't aware

Annoyingly around Warwick, Leam, Nuneaton are a big number of Villa fans.
First time I've heard Bedworth, Nuneaton, Rugby and Atherstone being called affluent!I'm actually sticking up for our fans , I'm saying that many people in Warwickshire don't care about football , it's quite an affluent place , they like rugby union more

Loads of people out in the new kid. Even kids I had no clue their parents are cov fans.I coach junior football.
The amount of young kids wearing Cov kits is quite amazing, we are definitely on the up.
Yes the sessions are littered with Liverpool, Man United etc but nowhere near the numbers they used to be.
Want to look at an incredibly well supported club , then look at Sunderland

I had only two school mates who were Vile fans - lovely lads, both of them would scrap for you too.
Parts of the South but Warwickshire as a whole is very split. Baxterley, Baddesley, Ansley, Arley aren't!Alot of Warwickshire is though isn't it
I live in Warwickshire and don't know a single rugby fan, but everyone I know likes football and supports a team. Also, there's plenty of poverty.I'm actually sticking up for our fans , I'm saying that many people in Warwickshire don't care about football , it's quite an affluent place , they like rugby union more

It's true mate. I moved away from Coventry when I was 10. Of all the people I know on Facebook from Cov, I'm the only City fan. Mix of Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and United fans.We do have an awful lot of glory fans in the city though .. it's undeniable
Dave Boddy only allows scans on the NHS, according to Grendel (probably)Hard to imagine you couldn't pay for a scan before Monday?

Most people I know are glory supporters. Even got a few around my age that support Blackburn from when they had Jack Walkers moneyHas anyone ever spoken to a glory supporter who lives miles from their team?
I once spotted a pretty generic football tattoo on a guy whose warehouse in Peterborough I delivered to. I asked who his team is and he said Liverpool.
Ugh. End of conversation. It seems such a massive waste.
Had to delete one of them, after he was slagging cov fans for taking 40k to Wembley for the check a trade. He's cov born and bred, and a Chelsea fanThat's bizarre. Lived here most of my life and I don't know any United or Liverpool fans, although I tend to stay off facebook.
A few years ago I was on the road a lot with my job. The Coventry office was full of Cov fans, plus a few randoms, one or two Leeds fans actually. The other offices in Preston and Doncaster, not a single PNE or Rovers fans to be found, it was weird.
Think its fair to say that the recent buzz around the city has been because of our upward moves. And peer pressure at school will get kids to wear whatever is fashionable at the time. So our new kit sells well. But they're not the ones buying tickets, its the predominance of adults and they're either not interested in football or they were brought up at a time when Coventry wasn't as glamourous as it is now so their club interests are elsewhere.
As others have pointed out, there is a shockingly high % of Villa fans. Probably not quite as bad as it was as I think they got a big surge from the European Cup win. Growing up I had mates who supported Villa and never shut up about that-their dads were City fans, too!I get that , I am probably way off the mark , all this is doing though is making our support look worse
