6th generation lost (1 Viewer)

[maddog]

My great grandfather, grandfather, father, me, my son and daughters all support Coventry City. My brother and his sons support the City. My brothers father in law took his grandson to Liverpool the other week and we have lost him forever. Thanks Shitzu you have broken our continuity. I remember my dad crying when city won the cup. This is a sad time for our family and those nobs in charge do not understand what this means.

I think my post was removed.


But in reply to your post, agreed, very sad

My father was the first to start supporting CCFC, living in Hillfields in the 70s, so I am only second generation, but the club is a huge part of our lifes, and it kills us being unable to watch them play at home in Coventry

Nick will blame the parents

 

[hill83]

So your brother allowed his son to be taken to watch Liverpool?

Without getting into the politics, is that what you are saying?

[RFC]

Cobblers, Cobblers & I don't mean Northampton Town. Times change, things move-on, just support the team and get on with it but please stop moaning.

We are where we are because several parties can't agree, can't wait for 10th June.

 

[ccfcway]

can't wait for 10th June.

Is that our next "home game" which is going ahead ?

 

[dadgad]

It says something when a mad dog talks sense.
Nobody but the certifiable could find anything but a deep sense of sadness at the OP.
A generation of sky blues lost forever.

You really are a sanctimonious plonker

My son will be supporting the skyblues whether he likes it or not. He watches Premier League on the TV but he knows his Dad supports the City and so does he.

I know it sounds harsh but that is how I would be. I don't think I have dared ask for a liver pool shirt whether I wanted one or not.

There was a guy on here who posted about taking his kids to watch Chelsea and kitting them out with full kits etc but it was sisus fault for moving us.

Even if the club didn't exist, I'd never kit my kids out with other team shirts.

My best mate is an avid Millwall fan, his son supports Liverpool because he let his son make up his own mind and didn't want to force him into anything. His son also collects football shirts and has more than a dozen of different teams and one of them is a Cov shirt. I have 2 daughters and would never force them to do anything.

I am not saying lock them in a room and beat them I just mean influence them. Would you actively encourage them to support somebody else?

Is that when you have your haemorrhoids on your lower lip attended too?

 

[edgy]

When did dads become lilly livered soft walkovers?

Ask yourself how you were brought into skybluedom? That's right, you were taken game after game until it sunk in. Or at least I was. Don't see any reason why that should change. It is a duty.

No, I just let my kids make their own choices, whether that's football, school subjects, music or clothes. They will enjoy it more and feel that whatever good things come from their choices is as a result of them, and not me manipulating or encouraging them. I took them both to a game at the Ricoh and the best thing they said about it was the food and hot drink at half time. My youngest daughter used to like Liverpool and rather than me be upset about it, I used it as a positive because it meant that I could watch more football in the house and my wife couldn't moan because I said my daughter was watching it

Exactly, my litle brother doesn't even really like football, he's 10. He's been to over 30 Cov games.

ah, they know the score. Its all about the food and beverage income

 

[georgehudson]

it's more about the edict of divide and conquer,
reduce the fervour of people supporting a club,
so they will be malleable,
a good spot to highlight that a generation will be lost,
i am not for turning tho' PUSB

No I understand. I have taken my daughter a few times, she was more happy about Sky Blue Sam giving her a high 5 and having a hot dog. I don't force her to go to games but if anybody asks her football team she says Coventry. I won't drag her kicking and screaming her to games, but I won't be ordering her a full Chelsea kit if she ever asks for one and will explain to her why Coventry is her team, and it is my team, and it was my dad's team, and his dad's.

 

[skybluesam66]

kids like what there parents like. its just how it is, its not by force. if you like a particular type of holiday/activity/restaurant - so will your kids
if you support ccfc - so will your kids

its not a 100% rule, but for those of you with grown up kids, and if not think of how you were brought up

 

[Mr T - Sukka!]

My family has always been sky blue. Even back to my grandad going back 20s,30s,40s. Dad 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, me 80s,90s through to today.

All males in our family sky blue.

Spoke to my nephew the other day, he follows arsenal!

Gutted, i asked why he doesnt follow Coventry City? The reply was shocking but true. "Coventry are crap, they are a boring team with rubbish players who never win anything."

People are moving on. Even ones you expect to become young sky blues.

I've heard people saying exactly that for years and years. I'm 30, more of my friends are Man Utd 'supporters' than Coventry City supporters.
Don't put this purely down to this season in Northampmonginton. Of course it will eventually make a difference, but people saying we are crap and supporting other clubs is nothing new. To say it is disingenuous.

Didn't football pretty much stop during the war? We've had half a season 34 miles away and that's it, fucking maudlin end of an era nonsense. Woe is me, my life is so difficult, tears, boo hoo.

I wouldn't go that far. These are very bad times for our club. And people are entitled to be very annoyed.

It stopped for a very important reason, sometimes there is more to life than football. Only sometimes though.

It's not that simple, not by half.
My ole man took me to see Manure, loads of times, Cup Finals, great players and teams. He thought I should elevate my thoughts to see that 'support' was about appreciating quality. It made no difference, not a jot. The only team for me is Cov and he finally gave in. Recently he said he admired the way I stuck to my guns when most would have gone for the glory.
He still follows United but then he wasn't born in Cov.

[blend]

My 9 yr old supports arsenal so he says, if that means I failed then I take it on the chin sadly It means a lot to me as I support Cov because of my dad and because of my closeness to the city. My dad used to take me regularly it went from being a treat when I was 8 to a habit by the time I was 11. My dad has sadly passed now and I dearly want to take my 9 yr old to matches. I took him to some at the Ricoh before we moved but he has no affinity to the club. This is not just because we are league one it is very much that I can't take him to matches. Makes me really angry.

Not completely. There was the wartime league and the wartime cup.

Basically, despite the city being pretty much destroyed, there were still more professional football matches going on in Coventry than there are now.

And as for end of era stuff, they have said CCFC will never play in Coventry again, sounds pretty much like an end of an era to me, doesn't it you?

Sisu bastards. Hope Fisher, Labovitch and Seppala rot in hell.

Thank you Maddog that is so funny.

You find the fact your club will have no future fanbase funny?

Apart from 10th June being my birthday what else is happening that day? Have I missed something?
