Really? How funny. No mate, I live just North of Emsworth so it's just a 5/10 minute drive into Havant. Do you live in Portsmouth then?
It wasn't you in the gym was it?!

No mate it wasn't me. I live near Andover, still Hampshire though, just a bit further north than you coastal boys haha. Did live on the Isle of Wight for 10 years during my younger days.

We need a minibus to get to games! The car park I use had an Aqua Taxi parked in it for one match, never had a city supporting driver when I've been in one though.
The next game I go to after Walsall/Burton, I'll offer to drive us South Coasters up and back.
I have a friend who works for Aqua Cars. Staunch Utd fan but always looks out for Cov results.
seen a city shirt in Torrevieja a couple of years ago when we owned a place there, and this StadiArena one in a sport bar in Mexico earlier this year
On a cheap as chips last minute beach holiday in the Caribbean spotted a CCFC crest beach towel amongst others a family had. Also surfing on eBay.com early last year there was a black and red replica away shirt which was a reasonable price. The location was listed as Alaska and the postage charges were horrible though as a result.
On way to Kuala Lumpur, immigration guy at desk stops me looks closely at passport, then after what seemed like an age says "Coventry City 1987" and cracks a massive grin! He followed English football and remembered the cup final. Random!

I saw a replica (imitation) shirt in a souvenier shop in Alice Springs. It was a week or so after Aloisi scored twice against Villa in the 4-1 drubbing back in 1999, so may have had something to do with having an Aussie centre forward.
Also a replica in a market in Rome a few years earlier - it was bright green (and was not meant ot be the keepers shirt apparently).

Saw an Arsenal v Cov game in my hotel room in Beijing. Just happened to trun the telly on at 11pm! We lost 2-0 and Roland Nillson got injured
On holiday in the New Forest during the late 80's I called into the Lamb Inn at Nomansland. The walls were bedecked with Sky Blue scarves, flags, shirts and pictures of everything CCFC. Apparently the pub was once owned by John Sillets Brother and after the 87 final Snoz had taken the team there where they played cricket on the village green.
ps My wife and Brother-in-law had food poisoning after eating the ham that they ate in there

Torrevieja is no surprise. Most of the population come from Bedworth and Cov. I'm sure there was a Cov shirt in the Hotel Sports Bar I went to in Mexico.
Told this one before, but its worth another airing.
I was in Barbados at a large outdoor party, when a young local girl walked past in a City shirt.
In my drunken state I approached her told her I was a City fan and offered her a beer. She told me to feck off, and that she was homeless and had got the shirt from an emergency parcel which had been delivered to the shelter she got her lunch in. you can imagine the reaction from my non City fan mates.

Age 16, holiday in Majorca, a señorita around my age who worked at the hotel: saw her parading around in the then new 96/97 top after she'd finished work.
Since I was also wearing mine, I almost dropped my pool cue. Way out of my league though. Apparently her dad was from Cov, from what I could glean from her.

Saw a tent with SISU out on it one year at Reading.
A chap in a city shirt at American Airlines Arena in Miami talking to a a member of the National Guard. He was there for Raw.
There's a city shirt hanging from the ceiling in a bar in New York by the Empire State Building.
Also seen a CCFC flag a couple of times when watching WrestleMania (probably the same guy who was at Raw).

In the mountains inland from Perth, Australia in 2006. Stopped at a batch bar near a reservoir to get a drink and something to eat.
Had my city shirt on ( as you do) when bloke behind counter says "up the city" (which is what we said before "pusb").
Turns out he is a city fan from Keresley, ex teacher gave it all up 40 years ago and went there to drop out of the rat race.

When I was younger visiting family in South Africa, we drove past a group of young lads from a shanty town, one of them had a city shirt on. I happened to have the same one on! We pulled over and got pictures with them, pretty sure we got it featured in the programme when we got back.
Also - in Paris last year, fella selling tat by the river, had a decent CCFC Pendant which now hangs from my rear view!

The London waiter who Sol Campbell tweeted about is a City fan. He's turned into a bit of a celebrity according to that article

Was on a plane wearing a City shirt when the Spanish flight attendant called his mate over. They pointed at me saying "Coventry City, Robert Jarni" they were Real Madrid fans and despite him not being a huge success there they said that we became their English team when we helped them out.
Not that random but my flag (along with a few other Cov ones) is always on display at England away games. Also I put my small City and Blaze flags behind the goal at Spain Portugal during Euro 2012. Cristiano hit both with free kicks and the Blaze one was right in the middle of the goal for the pens. I'd imagine the City crest scared the shit out of Pique and Nani after the last time they saw it.

On the same street in 2001 I was stopped by a Hispanic guy giving me big thumbs up, sadly it was because he mistook our relegation shirt for an Argentinian one.
Where on IoW did you live Covmark? I used to live in Totland Bay (West Wight) then moved to Newport where I am now.
