Not sure if they were ‘legion’ or not, but definitely a lot of stone island, ‘we do what we want’ types around.
My favourites were the few behind me, who had no idea who any of our players were, left to get a halt time beer 25 minutes into the game, tried to kick off with a steward who asked them to move to their seats and were openly talking about having to sort them (Blues fans) out after the game.
I also enjoyed them calling Dabo ‘Diablo’ the whole game and thinking he was on loan from Chelsea after his impressive loan spell last year.
Although I tell a lie; they knew who Baka was. As soon as he ran on he was a ‘c**t’ etc etc.
Not sure if I’m missing something but I’ve never understood the whole fighting at football thing. Just support the team, it’s pretty simple.

He was also the gaffer of the Beer engine pub where Legion lads used to drink when we were playing at Highfield road. He was always sound but everyone knew what he was about.

Bellylaugh with a big headline story about someone else who got attacked as well now. Now don’t get me wrong. Shouldn’t happen. But is it really worth legging it to the paper about it? I called the (potential) carnage as soon as it was announced. Always going to happen.

Clearly not doubting there was trouble, there's photo evidence there was, but also worth mentioning for I imagine the majority it was trouble free. We went to Digbrew beforehand with some Blues supporting mates. Had some good beers, good chat among fans about each others teams' seasons, walked to the ground together, split at Kingston Road and thoroughly enjoyed the match atmosphere. Walk back to Moor Street there was a few shady looking blokes but not much worse than I've seen at other games. Few Sky Blue with the odd chant which I thought was possibly pushing it a bit far, but saw no trouble, had a great day and hopefully the replay will be a similar experience.

5 things we learnt about Doris.
Red rag to a bull that kind of mob, & it would have got around the pubs fast that Cov 'have a mob in town', which will always bring our divs out. It will always attract a similar looking mob.
95% of Blues fans don't mind Cov. We have many Cov mates due to the proximity of our cities, & large employers like JLR, which is still 50% Cov lads.
We started the bad blood I think, when we started the "You've got no home" chant. You responded with good humour. "Brum is a shithole" did get a reaction on the terraces, but I guarantee it was lads who ain't been coming to Stans regular. Our booing was a bit OTT I thought.
Any idea how many you lot are getting for the return? Reckon it'll be STH only. Maybe they should make it coach only and run you up the Cov road. It's ridiculous nowadays. There are avenues young lads can take if they want to prove themselves as hardmen. The real old boys were in the Main Stand exec boxes as usual.
Ours is logistically a horrible ground for away fans though I admit.

Do people really think it was all caused by singing Brum is a shit hole as a joke? Jesus christ.
How does that explain the trouble before the match?
There were groups of bellends from both teams out looking for trouble, it's as simple as that. The vast majority were fine.

None of the violent incidents were caused by banter in the ground. Was all good natured.
The violent incidents were obviously committed by people not at the game. Think most folks in the Blues end were season ticket holders. I saw no bother at all Saturday, Head of Steam had plenty of Cov fans in there, Digbrew was rammed with about half and half (I even spotted a scarf) the Dog was busier than normal for an hour and a half after the game too. Heard a load of Police sirens on my walk back towards Digbeth (assumed WMP were hypeing it up) from the away end and a bloke in the Dog told me there'd been something going on along Digbeth.
Didn't feel like a moody atmosphere in the slightest until I heard the sirens but I suppose it helps knowing Digbeth like the back of my hand.
Pay on the day for the replay I reckon. Just get people in the ground. Tenner. Kids for a quid

Was this your first football match?
It was light hearted "bants" between fans in the ground.

I think the uniqueness of the situation on Saturday was always going have a slight edge to the game. It's a big shame some of the 'lads' came out to spoil the occasion but really there is no hatred or real rivalry from Blues fans towards us and vice versa. Hopefully everyone will have calmed down in time for the replay.
There was always potential for aggro Saturday plenty of Johnny concretes on both sides up for it, our time at STA so far has been okay largely peaceful and well received by the locals I just hope this doesn’t alter that for the rest of our time there. That walk to and from ground to Digbeth might become a bit dodgier.

there's always been trouble when we play Blues. That was never going to change just because we're using their ground.

Only potential trouble we saw was some trouble bent neanderthals stopping fans asking if they were the coventarian.

We were rivals with Villa, a one rivalry as they don't care about us but never anything with Birmingham. It's a derby game due to location but ask any bluenose and there is no hatred towards us.
