We aren't a top level team though, I wish we were but we aren't so to say people will start going to watch villa to watch top level football is bad
I think this shows what will start happening to cov fans if they want to see top level of football in the near future.
I am sorry but if you are truly Sky Blue you'd never set foot in Villa park no matter the circumstances.
You must have. Most kids like myself only went to Highfield Road when we were old enough.
If you didn't go you just watched it on the telly and picked your team and that was usually the one that won the league that year.
My brothers was Derby County because they won the league when he was 10 and mine were Liverpool and Man United for similar reasons.
To be honest I still see these 2 teams as the ones I support when I watch on TV.
However we both see Coventry as our first team, although my brother stopped going altogether this season and I'm only doing away matches.
When you went to your first match that sets you for life and Coventry was our first match.
I seem more interested in PL this season and hope Liverpool win it.
Next season .... Up the Reds ??/
So you have never been to Villa Park even to follow City? Because you said no matter the circumstances?
I saw City at Villa park once, that once was painful enough for me, to leave a ten year old in tears
Lets not turn this into another sixfields thread..... Boring and it is the same old...
It's been a Sixfields thread from the first post Nick!

Yeah, we did tend to lose on most occassions.

36 years following Cov home and away and because I used my daughters season ticket for Villa Vs ManU game I'm not a true Sky Blue. :thinking about:
Were you the 10 year old that would ask a lot of questions ?
Do we think this is acceptable as well?

Never come across that - most supported other clubs and stayed supporting other clubs.
Not sure I actually want to know, but what did you do to the ten year old, mate?!?!
Do we think this is acceptable as well?
No, I think it's acceptable to go on the hill
And into Sixfields?
And into Sixfields?

How did Brighton survive then when it had to play at Withdean for years.
The whole basis of this thread seems to be that if the club stays away support will go elsewhere
The example of going to see a team nearly as far away is odd.
There is no evidence to suggest it won't be business as normal when the club return. Brighton is valid as the ground had a huge restriction and over 10,000 fans would not have seen their team for more than a decade. They came back straight away.
The logic would also say Mk dons would never have had a club as allegiances to other teams would already have been formed.
Fair point but I would have to say I would go back after 10 years but my lads wouldnt, they are already losing interest, therefore we will lose a generation of support which could be damaging. I also dont accept the fact that would be my fault as Nick stated earlier, what crap. My lads are growing up and think for themselves thank you very much, they will be 20 and 18 in 10 years time but hey it would be my fault if they didnt go back to watch Cov. The fault of this will be very much attributed to SISU/ACL but mainly SISU.

But I can't decide the criteria for a true Sky Blue fan. Perhaps one who supports the team in some way and respects other fans for supporting in their way.
No, as they are adults not kids. I meant young kids.
The man of the cloth and his lady are in fact my mum and dad, seriously they are.
They are both major coventry fans with their old highfield road seats set up outside in the back garden.
My mum has been telling me for weeks she will wear her cov shirt under her coat when she goes.
I think this shows what will start happening to cov fans if they want to see top level of football in the near future.
I've told them they are mad going but the reply I got back from them both was ' least we will see the villa get stuffed'
Do we think this is acceptable as well?
I wasn't going to post about you on this thread again but your stupidity seems to know no bounds. Do you realise what you are doing, YOU say in YOUR first quote you are not a 'True Sky Blue' if you go into Villa Park. So on that basis are you any different to these two blokes?
I've been in the Holte End watching Coventry. Home ends at Everton and Wolves. Depends who you are with and how you celebrate I suppose. But I've never had a problem.A Villa game is never going to be a neutral game for a Cov fan though is it. Wouldn't be able to sit in the home end, couldn't help myself from celebrating if they conceded.
Keep this on topic about people going to Villa rather than sixfields before this thread ends up getting locked too!
