If you go to Villa Park I genuinely couldn't give two hoots. Each to their own I guess. Worry about your own posts and I'll worry about mine.
Ah, the old "your not a true Sky Blue Fan". My office is in Brum and if one of my lads (who was a Villa fan) said I have a spare ticket for a game against Arsenal (who are the team I would most watch in the PL), I would go along. Does those circumstances mean I am not a true 'Cov Fan'? Sometimes I think you need to choose your words more carefully.
I am sorry but if you are truly Sky Blue you'd never set foot in Villa park no matter the circumstances.

What if we're in the Europa League final Robo in 2024 and it's Villa Park? You've not thought this through mate....:thinking about:
WM
England?
I'll repeat my question then seeing as you've accused Cov fans of not being a true Sky Blue, which was your quote wasn't it?. Does the fact that I enjoy watching Arsenal play and if I got a free ticket to see them at Villa Park mean I am not a true Sky Blue Fan?
Yes and my point was that we have always lost fans to the big clubs when we were at the Ricoh and HR. It just makes it a harder job for parents at the minute to keep them interested
Ok I may go to see England if someone gave/got me a ticket, but I was talking Club team not country. I dont have the same passion for England as I do for Coventry.
Even in your scenario that if one of your workmates had a spare ticket for Villa, I wouldn't go, as I wouldn't be interested so it would be a waste of my time, and I have better uses of my time including watching other sports I may enjoy. This though is personal preference and I understand why people may feel differently.
(I also feel this is reflective of my loss of love for the beautiful game which has in my opinion gone rapidly downhill since the Sky revolution)
Yes completely agree in the past they would eventually come round to Cov as they grew up.
However not having Cov there they won't
Not in my experience. The mates I had a school who supported liverpool or united etc still support them, they don't support Coventry. In fact all of the City supporters I know always supported the club and got stick at school for doing so.
This whole thing is a bit of a non-story, must be a slow news day.

I wouldn't go WM 100%
You quoted it maybe you can tell me?
You enjoy watching Arsenal, Good for you, you must have been knocking your socks off recently when they played us..
Edit: To answer your question maybe it's not for me to judge, after all like everyone else on the forum I have my own opinion and probably differs from most others, however do you think it's a valid argument when you see people posting against the fans who go into Sixfields or at the beginning of the season you see other fans outside Sixfields holding a bed sheet with the words "If you are a true sky blue do not enter" maybe you'd like to answer that as well seems you are so astute to picking all my quotes apart.
Whhhhaaaaaaaat?!?! Now that I am shocked on! So if we got to a European Final (the first in our history), you wouldn't go if it was at Villa Park?
Wow! I agree with you on pretty much everything but this, just wow!

PS. Each to their own and all that.

I am sorry but if you are truly Sky Blue you'd never set foot in Villa park no matter the circumstances
Above is YOUR post I am referring too where YOU are accusing Cov fans of not being 'Truly Sky Blue Fans' if they go to Villa park. I merely put forward a scenario where I may go to Villa Park to watch a football match, I could also put forward about watching England there too. Again, I'll ask the question for a final time, am I a true fan for going to Villa Park in the above circumstances?
To answer your final point, I have never criticised anyone for going into Sixfields, it is entirely their choice. Because I choose not to does not make me better or worse and I don't agree with people accusing others of not being 'True Fans'. However, if you also don't agree with fans holding up bedsheets and calling Sixfield attendees not true fans, are you not doing the same thing by calling CCFC fans not 'True Sky Blue Fans' as per YOUR above quote?
My answer is No what bit of that haven't you already gathered if you had read my earlier post.
Like I said then maybe it's not for me to judge who is and isn't maybe you should go and track the other fans down and make them aware of this point.
Not quite sure, are you saying I'm not a true fan?
I'm sorry, that's just plain weird.
We will resume this conversation once you learn the Queen's English.
That is why I put it is a harder task for the parents to keep them interested.... Of course it will make a difference, but the whole losing fans to bigger clubs is nothing new at all. This was when we in the Premier League when I was surrounded by Glory Fans at school, I bet it worsened in the Championship and even more in League One.
I do think a lot of it is down to parents also when it comes to kids supporting teams.
Say's the man who couldn't spell bearing the other day LMFAO. You obviously see what I'm getting at, you are a hypocrite if you call Cov fans not True Sky Blues about one thing and then say it's wrong to call Cov Fans not 'True Sky Blues' about another. Do you know what, I think we'll leave this conversation because you've already dug a deep enough hole for yourself without me handing you the shovel.
Its not really a question of the parents keeping kids interested anymore. It was before we relocated, but now its the problem of keeping the parents themselves interested!
Most are starting to fall out of the habit of going to football! We're not just in danger of losing the next generation of kids, but also losing the parents and older fans too, who have found a free weekend is actually a nice thing!
So yes, if the parents don't want to go then the kids wont so as said, it is down to the parents.

So the news is "cov fans" are going to watch Villa to see top flight football?
How did Brighton survive then when it had to play at Withdean for years.
Isn't that the whole point of the thread ie a story about someone going to Villa Park instead of going to watch Cov in Northampton ?Lets not turn this into another sixfields thread
Never come across that - most supported other clubs and stayed supporting other clubs.

Tbf the withdean is in Brighton. Or am I completely missing your point?
