This is my first post on this forum. I felt I had to post about the away support at Brighton on Saturday. The majority of the fans were superb, backing the team. In my opinion they put in 100% effort which is really all you can ask for and I think the supporters appreciated their commitment.
As well as the defeat, my day was tarnished by the behaviour of about 15/20 lads sat a few rows in front of me. They were between 16-22 and were behaving like absolute prats. Firstly, they set off a smoke bomb and then when the stewards came to see what it was and check it was safe, they broke into a fight with them where punches were thrown. After this the atmosphere soured, and there were lads kicking chairs and generally behaving like first class idiots. There were about 4/5 young kids sat near me with their parents, who must have been intimidated by their behaviour.
I think it is the single worst thing I have seen from Sky Blues supporters and I have to say that I was humiliated in front of my non-Coventry supporting friends.
Just wondering if this sort of behaviour is common on away days and whether or not the club are likely to be notified of their behaviour by the powers that be at Brighton? I personally would like to see them banned from matches in future, because for me their should be no place in football for behaviour like this.
We didn't stay over, but there were many people there that I had not seen before, and I think many were there as it was a day/night out...
I suspect you'll be back to the regulars this Saturday...
And the only atmosphere they got going was a negative and intimidatory one.
No I'm 100% serious, they were a disgrace.I'm not actually sure if you're on a wind up or not?
You need smoke bombs to get the crowd buzzing ?Think you'll find the whole trouble with the stewards kicked off as about 6 of em attempted to drag a young lad out who was no taller then 5ft5 and no older then 18,
Smoke bombs have been seen at a few games in the past year, can you blame them to try and get the crowd buzzing,
I supose you have your season ticket in the lloyds stand where you get kicked out if you open a can of pop
The away support was pretty quiet if you ask me. It looked from where i was sitting that some were not that bothered anymore.
Was not to far away from the trouble, it was much to do about nothing really. A very small number of people, prob been drinking and didn't want their mate thrown out (not that I agree with it).
I agree that the volume of the noise compared to the volume of people we took was not great but to be honest we haven't had much to cheer about recently.
I don’t think we will take that many fans to another away game this year. Also thought it was a nice touch that the stadium announcer announced the number of traveling fans.

There was many part timers at the game saturday, I didn't see much of the trouble as I was in the middle.
Once again we take more than a thousand and the atmosphere is abysmal.
At the leeds game, 300 cov fans turned up, that was 10 times louder than on saturday.
Also
WHY OH WHY is there a PUSB every 5minutes.

Thought these experiences affected your experience of the Saturday's game there is an 'up-side' As a BHA fan from the North Stand I can say that, though your were not the biggest number of away supporters we have had, you were loud enough to be clearly heard at the far end of the ground and the passion was clearly seen.
Nice to witness.
