Match Thread Coventry City - Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 27th Sep (25 Viewers)

This is taking on the resonance of a geography field trip for them.
Advice on bringing a packed lunch, expected behaviour but alarmingly none on bringing a waterproof jacket

Or remembering to bring the signed approval forms from parents

Take action = don't be a complete c**t.
Not sure these lot are capable of such 'action'. Fair play to Doug for rinsing them for all they've got before their allocations are cut.

Bin bag boys are lucky they're being allowed in at all given the stench

Or remembering to bring the signed approval forms from parents

The (from childhood) absent parents you mean?

 

[pusbccfc]

People can moan about Doug’s pricing strategy but there’s zero chance he’s changing his find when this is happening. More chance they will go up next season!

To be fair, there's still a few hundred £45 tickets left. I'm not convinced they will sell.

I'm expecting an unusual amount of away fans to be dressed as pregnant women to smuggle in their bin bags for a spot of fly-tipping. Hope we've got this closely monitored.

 

[Sick Boy]

If I was Doug I wouldn't be making beer £3.60 For them. They clearly cant take their beer or coke so £10 a pint for them and close the toilets would be reasonable in the circumstances of their previous behaviour here

Agree just give the a couple of buckets in a corner

 

[Sick Boy]

All of the £65 tickets have sold out. Shocked people are paying that!

Paid £60 here

Our crack team of security will be dressed as 'midwives'.

Still in the green vs pricing them at £37/38

Definitely. Although those 500 seats may have been sold to 500 people who send £15 on a couple of pints and a burger.

I feel this won't be the same for the West Brom game which does not have the same appeal.

 

[Nick]

I'm only going in the hope Tom Brady is there!

 

[Saddlebrains]

Can't stand these lot

Hate them on the same level as Leicester. Think they're a massive club when they arent even the biggest in their own city. Fans are all neanderthals and their accent should genuinely qualify them for disability benefits

Hope we twat them

 

[David O'Day]

This is lacking your usual depth, DO'D

I deal strictly in facts.

We have a better team than them so if we play well we should beat them no matter how they play.

 

[oscillatewildly]

I'm inclined to agree with you but the counsel for prosecution will always offer 'exhibit A' - In this case, Norwich City.

To anybody outside of the Midlands the Coventry accent is barely distinguishable from the Birmingham one.

Dare I say it sounds more like a Lesta accent than a Birmingham one

 

[Pezza]

Lose or draw this and it's a pretty meh start....

Win and we are right at it lol

 

[AOM]

Unfortunately I agree.
Don't mind the Brummie accent actually - imo the Leicester/East Midlands accent is worse

I love the optimism, but I’ve seen us lose plenty of games where we’ve played well against inferior teams!

It's completely different. Listen to James Maddison or Callum Wilson compared to Jack Grealish.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Coventry win win 3-1 Thomas , Saka and BTA

Not forgetting some comfy shoes, A bar of Kendal Mint cake and a spare handkerchief.

Another American chant?

If we play well......we should win!!

I was on a podcast earlier this year, with a mainly northern audience (and presenters).

The following episode my accent was heavily mocked, and they seemed to be mimicking a black-country accent.

I've always thought when hearing my own voice back, that it is a distinct accent, but there's definitely a hint of Birmingham in there.

This is true tbh - I'm a Brummy & I sound nothing like Maddison or Wilson etc

It’s got mixes of Birmingham and Lesta, depends on the words. Generally I think it sounds more like they do in Lesta

I hate that he has something to do with that lot otherwise I'd eb genuinely thrilled to see him at a game

hence "should" rather than "will"

anyone got a megaphone I can borrow?

Yes that's a fair shout. As a Southerner I can clearly tell the difference between Cov and Birmingham really but the Leicester and Cov ones are identical to my ears.

One is East Midland, the other West Midland. Nuneaton (Warwickshire) is bordering (quite literally) on a South Leicestershire accent.

Brother in law is from Surrey and when imitating me will make me sound Brummy while pronouncing particular words.

Someone once asked if I was from Shrewsbury because of my accent - proving that some people that are horrendously wide of the mark when guessing.

Had a Yank ask if I was from South Africa once.

This is probably accurate tbf as we have fans in a radius of the City, some nearer to Brum, some nearer to that lot, so can be effectively Cov and 20 miles apart.
