Not really “fans” if they couldn’t be arsed when we were shit though, were they.
Fans now sure, and that’s great - love a full arena and seeing City shirts everywhere.
But where can I claim my Super Fan badge?

Clearly, you have a long and prosperous career awaiting you in football media relations, should you wish, Pete.

Did you do Stevenage, Doncaster, the 4-0 pumping at Rotherham, how about the shambles in the rain at Swindon, and Gillingham 'master class'? Did you get chips in Crewe from across the road, ( best chips ever ), visit Crawley or the neanderthals of Port Vale?
Only then can you be considered for Super Fan status!!

There will always be that bloody awful hammering at Bristol Rovers on Boxing Day 2016
lampard said he’s earned his place on the bench, and if he needs him has no problem playing him, just hope we can keep him, if lampard thinks he’s decent then that’ll do

Agreed, I love seeing The CBS full most weeks too and the more the merrier
But the sly digs at those who stuck by the club at it's lowest ebb and did the shit trecks to places like Colchester, Forest Green etc. as 'Super Fans' reeks of jealousy and bitterness that they are sorted for the away tickets
If you genuinely stuck by the club when it was at the time one of if not the worst ran in the country, without anything to remotely cheer about for years and years then you are the embodiment of a true football supporter and you rightly deserve your flowers
If you are late to the party cause you chose to stay away then that is also okay, as who could blame you - But don't get resenting the people who have been there through it all

I don't think thats what a 'super fan' is at all. I have full respect for anyone who followed us up and down the country during the grim league 2 days. I no longer had a season ticket then but i was able to go more than i can now funnily enough, which is a tad frustrating.
I see 'super fan' as more of a dig at those who feel they have to tell everyone what a great fan they are and moan that the stadium wasn't full in league 2 days as if they'd rather is was 2/3s empty full of die hards watching shite football again.

Even at this point, nobody supports Coventry City for the glory.

Of course not. Are some mild plastics that also half support Liverpool or Man Utd fairly annoying? Of course they are but if they suddenly find themselves more drawn to their local team i think that's a good thing overall really.

If they’re buying tickets and merchandise and generally putting more money into the club, they’re all welcome. They will of course disappear if things go wrong again, but that’s no different to most clubs.

Indeed. Most people aren't as in to it as sad acts that spend all day thinking about it like us on here
and that is totally fine.

I get your point about the 'super fan'. it can be tedious but that aside. Working our way up and travelling away in L2+L1 was incredibly fun and to me, was more enjoyable than PL football will be, if we ever get there.

If we go up, the feeling at full time of whichever game decides it will be unbeatable for me anyway.

I'll probably cry if we get back the Prem. I did cry when we were relegated to league 2 but for different reasons

Oh 100%, it's the getting there which are the real special moments. I'll probably join you.

Cleworth, Scarr, Hyam
Our forwards should be licking their lips at that.

I have to take issue with you there. Everyone knows that the best chips were to be had at Rochdale.

Even more reason not to go conservative with 5 at the back. We need to set up to attack them and put several goals past them early doors.
Brighton Sky Blue

Either that or Parkinson goes 4 at the back. Either way yes we should be bagging some goals.

Their main threat is crosses to Keiffer Moore, back 3 should help us deal with that comfortably, leave us 2 vs 3 in midfield though. Really intrigued to see how we line up here.
I did happen to do most of those, but I can't claim to be elite or anything close, but I'm ok with that.
Which full back will be targeted in that respect, how will they stack up, comfortably hopefully.It will probably be worn against Swansea away.

What about Grandpa Coady?

He started midweek didn’t he? Hasn’t had the best of starts either so he could be left out?

I think he's been so bad they'll go with the 3 I listed but I might be wrong. I hope I am tbf as he's absolutely dire.

You’d start Hyam ahead of Coady, no question.

I'd start my Gran ahead of Coady, been so poor this year for them, their fans don't want him near the first team

I think Scarr is the question. He's not Championship level at all but Coady looks like he should pack it in and start playing bowls.
