Just out of interest. I've been living in Yorkshire the past 12 years which means I don't get to anywhere near as many home games as I would like to.

Where is everyone else from? I'm guessing Cov will be the winner...

A more apt title night be "Where in the Coventry are we all from?" :)

For me, like many I assume, Walsgrave hospital or whatever it's called these days (although now live in Warwick).

Currently doing missionary work in the people’s republic of Nuneaton, but born in Coventry started off in Radford then Whitmore Park and then Keresley. Managed to get it that my two boys were born in Coventry so they had no excuse to follow any other teams.

From Coventry. Dragged up on just about every select council estate :smuggrin: Moved all over England. Presently in Cumbria. Been here 12 years so far. Enjoy having a 13 mile beach on my doorstep after being brought up nowhere near one. But now looking at moving my family to France Brexit determined. Have chosen the district because of two airports so I can fly in for games. I will spend at least half my time in England until retirement. But once I am 55 I will be looking at retirement.

The good point is that it will cost me about the same to fly from France for games than drive from where I presently live.

Born in Gulson Hospital. Which makes me a true Coventrian. Raised in Walsgrave.
I was born in Gulson Road hospital, too. We lived in Harper Road which is at the bottom of the Gulson Road hill.

If you don't sing Fight Fight whereever you may be as soon as you go outside the city boundary you aren't proper. May as well just call them Baps as well.
