Spotting fellow Cov fans in the wild (9 Viewers)

ms639 · Wednesday at 5:00 PM

Nothing better than seeing other Cov fans (outside of Cov).

I live in London and was running this morning. Absolutely shattered and spotted a bloke walking his dog wearing a Cov bobble hat (the bloke not the dog), game him a ‘sky blue army’ shout, to a chorus of ‘PUSB’, gave me a spring in my step for the last couple of KMs

Got me thinking, where’s the weirdest / most far flung place you’ve bumped into another member of the sky blue army?

London is commonplace... I studied there 2000/3, and I had a white van man shouting GET IN THERE at me on Tottenham Court Road, and we where both wearing the black Isuzu top from the relegation season.

Went on holiday to Kenya in 1994 and the lad who sat in front of me in the west terrace was in the same hotel. I remember they called themselves the CupOvTea boys for some reason.

Actually saw one in Nepal last year and another one in Malmo earlier this year.

On holiday in Florida back in the 90s saw a guy wearing a Sky Blues shirt, I said Hi Sky Blues fan then.

He said no I just like the shirt.

Can’t throw a stone without hitting a Cov fan in Greater Manc these days.

I was going into the Magic Kingdom a couple of years ago and had a city away shirt on and a random guy came up to me shook my hand and then said its always nice to see a city fan

Is that a euphemism?

Going to see England on Tour playing cricket has meant I've seen a few in Barbados, Sydney and in NZ I stood in the queue to get into the ground behind a bloke wearing a Nuneaton Boro shirt! But my best occasion was in Stansted airport when I literally walked into the whole team waiting to get a flight to Germany for a pre-season tour. Gary Mac was manager at the time. Had a quick chat with Dele Adebola, such a polite chap to say the least!

For those 90s ravers/drum n bassers…in a club in London, DJ Doc Scott playing his set. He Took off his top to reveal the dark blue/light blue thick striped Cov top. Get in there!

Nick · Wednesday at 5:26 PM

In the queue at bonnie blues House.

Are you sure you're not seeing a bunch of sky blue shirts and getting confused?

I bought a house in zone 6 London / Essex last year, a relatively untapped area of London only on my radar because of the Elizabeth Line. My first time visiting, I sat on the very last tube carriage and as I got off at my potential new stop, a guy came to the door from the opposite end of the carriage wearing a CCFC Pony overcoat.

Anyway, fast forward six months, and I realised Frank Lampard grew up here too.

97-98 kit?

A German bloke in Cologne was wearing a yellow Peugeot City top (unsurprising, as I'd bought it him as a present)). In exchange he had bought me a pair of FC Koln underpants (no, I don't still have them, nor any pics available )

I think so. It would’ve been about that time.

Last summer in Rotterdam whilst walking over the Erasmus bridge wearing the red & black chequered away top,a tourist boat happened to go underneath the bridge & just as the boat went under the bridge,2 City fans looked up & noticed my top & stood up shouting 'Sky Blue Army'

Been to a few music festivals around Europe and there's always at least one person with a Cov top walking about

Met a city fan in the mountains high above Perth WA. in 2012.
In the middle of bloody nowhere, greeted me with PUSB.

Wear mine too so you may have seen me

SomersetSB · Wednesday at 6:53 PM

Met a City fan in a bar in Santa Monica in the early 90’s, he’d moved over there in 1978 and his local was the red lion in walsgrave which was my local at the time!!

I have seen and met fellow sky blues in Mumbai and Melbourne (at test matches). Always gives a nice feeling to see fellow supporters whilst away from home.

London Rd in Leicester. Brave man.
Glasto for son.

Bonnie Sky Blue...

I went to Southwold Pier and as I approved there was a guy in a City shirt walking out.
We get everywhere, a bit like the Irish!

Madison Square Garden in 1999 for the first Lewis vs Holyfield fight.

Yorkshire SB · Wednesday at 8:08 PM

Not quite of the theme but I once bumped into Richard Wood in Leeds on the Monday lunchtime following his last minute own goal for Rotherham against us (around 2014). Needless to say I was an arse and mentioned this to him (“once a sky blue. Etc.”) He had the good grace to laugh and was generally a great guy.

EDIT - from memory it was a winner for us as well
