Haha, brilliant!
I was born in Coventry but moved to Cornwall when I was very young. With all of my family coming and still coming from Coventry, I became a Coventry fan when I was 4 - and I have never looked back.
Growing up as a Coventry fan in Cornwall (amongst Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal fans) was not easy, let me tell you. Although, through the years this has only made me more passionate and hardened!
I travelled up to Coventry in every single half term and went to a Cov game, my first being a 2 v 1 home defeat to Crystal Palace in 1989.
At 18 I decided to go to University in Coventry, genuinely, just so I could get a season ticket for 3 years - a dream come true!
I then lived in Coventry after uni (2002 to 2005), the last few years of Highfield Rd in which time I used to go to games on my own, and loved every single minute of every game.
In 2005 I moved to Manchester with work and to start a life with my now wife.
I still play a reasonably high standard of football in Lancashire so I can't always attend games although I go to as many as possible - and I still get that excited feeling that I got as a kid after travelling all the way up from Cornwall.
I have had a lot of good times following the Sky Blues, but mostly have had disappointments - but they are and always will be my city, our city and I love them and all of their fans.
I live on the outskirts of Peterborough and am a season ticket holder - Block 20. Only just come back from working and living in the Middle East (Bahrain) so this season was my first time at the Ricoh although have been to Highfield Road plenty of times. From Worcester originally and my dad was stationed at the Cov Recruiting Office when I was younger, hence the link. Been a SB all my life, and will be until I die.
I live near bournemouth in wimborne, moved down when I was 3. 35 now and go to a few games a season. My cov tattoo needs touching up. Went to the final where dad built me a box to stand on in the ground hammer nails and all.
Do you still have the box? That would be an awesome item to keep from childhood! Who needs first tooth and lock of hair when you have that to pass down to your kids
Welcome to the site!
Belfast boy myself, are there any others on here from Northern Ireland?
Have seen a few tracksuits/tops about the city over the years.
First time poster, from Banbury, quite a few sky blues in the town
