Me neither. My little boy and I are in France for startersYes wouldn't surprise me if there are Cov fans in those places.
A few older Cov lads attacked a group of Blues around the back of Arena park area (slip road) One Blues fan was sparked out,
They've a video of about 6 coventry fans running on the a444 and are claiming a huge victory .. mental mindset
Deary me
Who takes a picture of a shit?
We were there before the game about 30 blues fans turned up, no colours. Heard one say why so many Cov think they thought it was an away pub. No trouble we left about 2.15 there was a van of coppers there keeping an eye on things. Went back after the match and had a quick pint before headed home about 6. Van of plod still there with a dozen or so blues fans but all calm at that point.Was kicking off at the Craftsman a good hour after the game
Shows how short some memories are.Birmingham area has quite a few clubs (Brum / Villa, arguably WBA) and possibly Solihull.
I’d argue that Cov has huge potential support if you bolt on Nuneaton, Leam, Warwick etc.
I don’t think there’s many bigger cities than us with only one club that also has big satellite towns it can tap into. (Maybe Leeds is the only other)
Brum under Bruce played the “bigger club” card when we were both in the Champ and poached McSheff and King. I loathed them for their arrogance at the time.
Right now - we are a bigger club in terms of stadium, position and probably ave att and (just for the sake of a measure) registered fans.
To be fair to them they did help us out when we needed. They have potentially weakened their position by doing so. Places like - I dunno - Balsall Common - halfway between Cov and Brum might now and in the future (particularly if we are Prem) have kids coming through who will support us rather than them. They could have easily said “nope, off you trot” and we might have ended up playing in Burton or Walsall with even less gate receipts and income. Small variations often have big long term implications.
Robins went out of his way to praise how good Brum had been to us.
Bcfa Club will have to pay
Deary me
Yeh 2Big city but lots of clubs.
Hopefully they end up playing Nuneaton Boro within 5 years as far as I am concerned - I genuinely prefer The Villa to themTheir club is in the shit, heading in the trajectory we were once on. Hopefully they'll turn it around soon, but fucking hell do they play borinng football. Always have a soft spot for them though.
Don’t forget me!France? Germany? Australia?
OK.Don’t forget me!

I wonder if the police were banking on Cov fans to stay in the stadium longer - the lap of honour went almost straight to Singers Corner first, which meant we left the stadium a lot earlier than I was expecting.
Wasn't really much trouble in the end. Birmingham fans chasing 2 people shirters across a duel carriage way, smashed up toilets and then they were running away from Coventry fans by the Wheatsheaf.
An embarrassing day for Birmingham City
Did you shout batch at them?I saw a few people knocked out, not sure which lub they were from and blues fans fighting with police.
The police also tried to coral me in with the brummies as I made my way back to the busbut when they heard the dulcet tones I've my exceedingly rare accent they let me on my way.

Don’t go looking for trouble at football and 99% of the time you won’t get it. If you do go looking for it, well….
Ali G (I kid you not) and his mates weren’t very happy in Tescos car park about ‘30 lads’ giving them a bit of a shoeing.
We walked through about 50 dodgy brummie fans and had no issues. Might be because my Stone Island badge fell off in the limbs.
Back to Wellesbourne for a new one.
On the bus back the ‘top boy’ told the rest to behave themselves.
I didn't get the bus.
