Genuinely trying to help, while not totally ruling out the prospect that you're actually @Greggs

But if you're a real person and this needy I think you need some guidance. I can't do any more, I've tried.

Haha! Strong denial, I think Greggs owns up when one of his wind ups gets rumbled - but could it be a double bluff?!'

Mate, come on! I'm not your normal type of bloke, but I lay low on here! I get too angry if I start actually replying to people. I thought you were sharper than this, I'll take it as a compliment though x

@Otis Good luck with the move mate (even though I've never met you) I had a bag of sweets all good to go for the Trillion, before you were sidelined by parental duties iirc? Hope you can still post on the forum now and then. Really chuffed that you have a new love and purpose in your life. Fingers crossed you'll get to a game now and then, but hopefully not Gillingham away!

I have never lived in Coventry, but my Dad grew up there so he inflicted this upon me. I used to live in Essex but now I live in SE London/Kent. Getting to games is not easy but I go to all the London and East Anglia games. PUSB
Click to expand...

I also got the infliction from my dad who grew up there. I was born in Stratford but grew up in Herefordshire so only about 1.5 hrs from Cov. I'm pretty sure I've only ever been to Coventry on matchdays but started going in 1989 and my dad always used to take us to see the city so I know it pretty well. My nephews and niece are also now inflicted and live in Brum

Dad was born in Catherine Street leading up to Highfield Road; he used to kick about in the street with the City players in the 40s and 50s. We moved away from Cov nearly 50 years ago but it's always in the blood and while my family live in the Midlands still I now live in Essex; close enough to Peterborough, Colchester, Southend and Ipswich but everywhere else is a trek and trying to get an away ticket is a real challenge. I kept my ST before the children arrived but not since. Our 12-year old son is getting the bug and his CCFC scarf arrived this morning. I did have to explain that not every away day is like Peterborough ! PUSB

I've lived in Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Boston (USA), Durham, Brighton, London and now Hertfordshire. Never lived within 90 mins of Coventry but been a supporter all my life. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Born in Cov and lived there until I was 18. Moved to london for university and stayed for about 10 years.
Then A year in Pompey and been in Cardiff now for about 17 years. Has it been that long!?

Don’t get to see us as much as when I lived in Cov - which was basically every home game -but probably make between 5-10 fixtures a season.
Diacoveringbthe VPN thing with ifollow means I’m pretty much watching all the matches now. Just planning my next return to Cov…meet up with all my mates (I’m the only one that left) and have a few beers. On this point, what the hell have they done to the Albany in Earlsdon?!?!

My dream is to return to live in Cov one day just so i can more easily go up the city. Mrs Dactyl and the kids are not so keen.

I just wondered coz I lived in Wickford in 1958 for about a year and again in 1969 also for about a year. My dad and sister are both buried there. Haven't been down there for years. I really should go and visit their graves.

Born in Cov until 18. Then lived in London, Isle of Man, Barbados, Toronto, Qatar, New York and Abu Dhabi.
I've randomly met City fans in all of those places.
Always a Sky Blue and proud of it.

Wow, we are so closely aligned, cos I have lived in Foleshill, Potters Green, Radford and Keresley. Nearly moved to Coundon once too.

I love it when I hear of fellow globetrotters.
