Where were you when we were..... (10 Viewers)

[Bugsy]

Now now lads. Everyone had there reasons and everyone has there opinions.
The phoenix is rising and we are now seeing the true capability of the club we all love.
Instead of squabbling let's just enjoy every moment as we All deserve this.

Play up sky blues 🩵

We could be up this weekend, odd time to start sneering at people.

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

Yes hated going to st Andrew’s at first but it did feel like a big away day out every match and the football was good So in a strange way become quite enjoyable - I assume you could call it trying to make something good out of a bad situation

I quite enjoyed St Andrews with travelling to the games on the supporters coach .

Anybody who went to watch Wasps should be banned from city games.

What about if you was supporting the away team

 

[CovValleyBoy]

Sneering. Met a few Cov fans who fell off the waggon & no longer go. And Surprisingly not entirely enjoying our climb back to the top.
One said he was backing us to get relegated as soon as odds available. Another hates King and is not having it.

I think there is a German word for it...but its too early.

I remember a load if us got to Crewe about Midday and started drinking in the Express which I beleive was a home pub, by 4pm we had over took the place, was heaving, Crewe Youth goading City fans through the windows. David Mapp's (police liason) hitting stick had never seen so much action.

Pretty sure they over sold the ice cream stand as well. Concidering we lost was a stand out away day and the origin of the infamous "Dan, Dan, Dan" CWR phone call

Epic that one the whole pub takeover, but time for another one,a session and a run out, beautiful!

 

[bigfatronssba]

Jesus, imagine, we’d of been the next MKdons only worse

MK Dons isn’t a phoenix club. I suspect you’ve got mixed up

You should be banned for kissing Sisu's backside for years tbh.

We must have put about £200+ in the juke box that day, vague memory of them only having 2 bar staff for majority of the day aswell!

Cov united aren't rising

It's one of those myths that gimps spouted. I miss it. Although Doug king is sisu so there's still a chance.

Never did get owt from being on their payroll

Mate on my whatsapp supported LIverpool 5 years ago. Now supports city and is moaning about people "jumping on the bandwagon".

Oh yeah he also supported Wasps before us.

The OP probably knows him

 

[Bad Boy]

Credit to all the real fans, the ones who have weathered the times, supported the club through thick and thin. Let's enjoy the next few months knowing we stayed strong and never went to watch Wasps or Coventry United.
To the 10 thousand proper fans of this club, enjoy. CCFC.

Hope you wear your big home made I'M A REAL FAN badge with pride for the rest of the season.

I never took it off after going to checkatrade games and getting a block to myself.

Need another one as it's getting worn out.

 

[Seymour_East]

On more than one occasion I found myself on my own in the bullring tavern at 11.30 in the morning. Pretty grim now I think about it!

Are you sure it had anything to do with football Clint?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I have enjoyed going and enjoying a sausage roll as a pre match ritual for years now.

Going to St Andrews was surreal

 

[Liquid Gold]

A league 2 season ticket should guarantee you 5,000 loyalty points for life

 

[Grendel]

Proper fans? I take it you see yourself as a 'proper fan'.

I'm one of those pretend supporters these days. When life allowed I hardly missed a game but things changed. Life changes for many including health reasons, working shifts and even not being able to afford to go.

I'm no superfan. It's been years since I hardly missed a game home or away. Lived nowhere near Coventry and was a shift worker, but when available for a game I wouldn't consider the distance. For instance Yeovil was about 400 miles each way for me.

How about those who followed us everywhere but are now in bad health?

Life changes. It's great to see the support we now have. Proud of what has happened the last few years and would love to go to every game home and away but it's impossible. So that makes you a much better supporter than me. I'll be thinking about you the next time I'm taking 2 or 3 days to go to a single game.

Chill out

good shout on a thread about feeling justified and ancient

So easy, cheers lads.

Please don’t lie and pretend you expected the rise to happen.
The most likely outcome was the club ceasing to exist by the early 2020s. A phoenix club would’ve taken its place.

No it wasn’t the most likely outcome and it never actually happened. Those hoping for the club to be liquidated went off to support Coventry United.

 

[Joe King]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Cov City runs through my blood! I don't go to games any more due to me being a full time carer for my wife, who is 76 and has dementia. She also has severe mobility issues. Living in Malvern doesn't help either. Last week I had a phone call informing me that my eldest sister is dying. She's 86. It took me days just to find time to drive to Coventry, see my sister for 30 minutes and then drive back home. Nearly a whole day taken up for a quick visit. I doubt if I'll ever see my sister again.
So, no, I'm not a so-called "super fan", but I live for the Sky Blues and pay £95 a month to have Sky with sports, just so I can watch them on TV when they're on.

 

[JSL]

What is the point of this? If you are a fan, you are a fan, whether you can afford both time and money to go or not. Enjoy the ride as I suspect it won't last forever but its infectious and gathering pace.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Ok. Obviously the most likely outcome was, with no money, putting together a premier league team and buying a £50m stadium that wasn’t even up for sale.

I must congratulate you on your creation. You’ve managed to combine the pomposity of Captain Mainwaring and the piousness of Keir Starmer into one character. Quite an achievement that I haven’t seen done before

 

[Lamps]

Exactly, we all deserve this, but It’s the ones who’ve kept us going through the dark days I’m really pleased for, enjoy every minute and Thank you,

I enjoyed the dark days in a strange way. Not what was happening to our club, but having to find on a map where it was we were playing and ending up in some dilapidated stand. Going to places I'd never been before then hoped I'd never go again. Meeting genuine supporters of other clubs where their dream is to spend a season in the Championship.

 

[SafeAsMilk]

On the brink of promotion and someone wants to start singling out people for not being real fans?? That somehow certain fans are superior beings.. just enjoy where we are with everyone who is there! Let’s party together as one SBA.. 🩵

You just said you hoped the club went out of existence ffs.

 

[bigfatronssba]

You just said you hoped the club went out of existence ffs.

No I didn’t. Talk about twisting my words. I said I couldn’t see any other way forward than a phoenix club.

Think about this logically please ffs. Why would I want the club I’ve supported since a kid to go out of existence?

You’re giving the impression that you think people who put down sick pets want them to die.
