Always wear a shirt at Glastonbury on the Thursday. Get more than a few “Sky Blue Armies” shouted at me. Also have decent conversations with fans of similarly sh*t clubs - lovely Oxford fellas a few years back and a tripping Carlisle fan last year, who was surprisingly lucid on his teams’ fortunes.
This literally describes my entire secondary school P.E.. lessons.Said that for games lessons him and carsley were always given the option of either being the best players in the shit match or the worst players in the good match.
Wasn’t really into the rave scene but knew a few lads in the 90,s who were into it. They told me about the Eclipse club and thought I’d give it a go one Saturday night. What an awesome atmosphere that place had. Left at about 2.30 in the morning and the place was still bangingI feel similar......
Sanctuary closed in summer 2004, and i'd pretty much given up going to big raves by summer 2005...... although did a couple of big venues after the Sanctuary........ Cov Skydome, and Nottingham Ice Arena spring to mind.
Bagleys was my favourite place. United Dance on a friday night, come out at 6am and get the first SIlverlink train back to Cov..... although pretty grim getting back to Cov as people were going about their weekend shopping etc.
I was so hoping his kid's name was going to be West TerraceMet an American in a bar at a hotel in Jamaica I was wearing my Cov top and he said that he had lived near Coventry in the 90’s as he was from Detroit and spent years here (as he was in the car industry).
Said he supported Cov and so did his son-he pointed out his son who was wearing a Cov top and introduced him ‘he was named after the place he was conceived-we call him Lem but his full name is Leamington Purcell’…

I was invited to play for Canada in the first World Cup in Derby last year. I turned it down a) because I was in England a few weeks before the tournament andPlay walking footy these days (I'm old) with a couple of ex pros. The way they ping a pass and shield the ball is different class. It never goes
My mate plays for England. They're a decent side tbf. I'm playing for Torquay in Portugal in April. I've finally made it into EuropeI was invited to play for Canada in the first World Cup in Derby last year. I turned it down a) because I was in England a few weeks before the tournament and
b) I thought Canada would be blown away every game.
In the end they finished 4th(knocked out by England)
Im just about still signed on for veterans (over 45s) league, where there are quite a few ex-pros still giving it a go. It’s great going up against/being in the same team as people I’ve actually heard of!!Play walking footy these days (I'm old) with a couple of ex pros.

Give it a go mate, you'll love. Still some very good oldies knocking aboutIm just about still signed on for veterans (over 45s) league, where there are quite a few ex-pros still giving it a go. It’s great going up against/being in the same team as people I’ve actually heard of!!
I reckon walking football is next for me…arthritis allowing! In fact was chatting to an old colleague of mine just last night. He was telling me how great it is. He travels all over the place with it.
Saw someone in a city top in a Malvern pub today. Then I remembered I had just gone for a piss and it was my reflection in the mirror! Doh!
The club should most definitely consider getting some mugs like this on sale. Maybe even some newspaper clips.Not a fan sighting but I also find it odd seeing anything Coventry related outside the county...
Today on my lunch break I nipped into charity shop local to me (Gloucestershire).
As I was leaving this beaut caught my eye! 50p bargain. Lady at the till asked me if I was Spurs fan

Only local people caught in the toilets in MalvernSaw someone in a city top in a Malvern pub today. Then I remembered I had just gone for a piss and it was my reflection in the mirror! Doh!
Met a guy called Clive, birkenstock clogs and long floppy hair whilst on an Ayahuasca retreat in Peru. Great, great guy. His hair told a thousand stories and I've never seen anyone taketh the frogs poison so well, he vomited for at least an hour and seemed truly refreshed afterwards. Go Clive.
Long time reader first time poster. It’s not exotic but I met a fellow Cov fan at the tip in Bognor Regis this morning. Not that often you see us down here!

My partner 2 seasons ago gave his shirt away to a Bayern Munich fan who was here visiting for a few weeks. Hopefully we made a new fan! Coventry Scheiße does mean Coventry shirt doesn’t it?
I think you’re thinking of The Planet?I missed the Eclipse days by a few years.... but in the early 00's it reopened as The Institute and had some really good nights. Drum and Bass on friday nights and then some kind of House/HardHouse (i wasn't into House so not 100% sure) on saturdays.
I got thrown out on the opening night for falling down the stairs.

I’ve got a mate from Potters Green who lives in Chiang Mai and follows the city from afar.Met a fellow Cov fan ( who lives in Australia ) at a cricket 6's tournament in Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand last year .
