Think looking back, this almost got off the ground in 2018...not sure if it did. I'm seeing more Cov fans than Leicester in Hinckley/Burbage (have done for the last few years to be fair )...feel like there's enough us here to do something...although I'm not entirely sure how or if any pub would be affiliated with Cov this side of the M69...

My mate is Hinckley so he would be up for it....there was/is an East Mids club but it did sort of fizzle out.

Great. Thanks. I'll see what the interest is and then try to do something as a collective

I know a good few in Hinckley / Burbage - definitely seeing more Cov shirts around and agree possibly more than Leicester now in Hinckley.

I walked into the Balti raj in Hinckley last night in my 1987 FA Cup shirt:

And heard 7 Inkleh voices the second I walk in “fuckin Cov fan just walked in ere’ ”

I think there would likely be interest.

This is looking good! Thanks for the responses so far. If anyone knows of any Cov fan in Hinckley/Burbage (or surrounding areas) who runs a pub or something like a sports and social club, who would be happy to host a meeting once a month and maybe the odd event, then let me know and I'll happily take it forward.

Not an active user on here, but regularly get refused service in the Stottie Shoppe for asking for a batch. I'd happily join a Hinckley Sky Blues club

I think the Bricklayers Arms in Sharnford is owned/run by a City fan, have seen a couple of monzo shirts over that way. I'm in Countesthorpe.

We're another bunch that moved over 5 years ago. Message the Hansom Cab, they will almost certainly have us. Dean the gaffer is a Forest fan and Charlotte the AM is a Leicester fan. Both love the banter with us but deep down I actually think they've got a soft spot for us. Pretty sure they would entertain something like this.

Must be quicker getting to the CBS than the King Power from Burbage and most of Hinckley down the M69/M6. Turn the place Sky Blue.

Also based in Burbage and agree that the village feels very much like a Coventry City Football Club area these days. Would be keen to join and potentially help in some way from an operations standpoint if we can collectively get something off the ground.

Yup, 2 x Burbage Sky Blues with me and the other half plus a few ST holders right around the corner. There is lots of us , many starting to show their true colours now we are making waves.
It’s bloody marvellous

Parents live in Burbage and I’m there a lot. My Dad is a ST holder and we often drink in the village after games.

Spend a lot of time in Hinckley for kids stuff too.

So yea I’d happily get involved and happy to help.

Depending on numbers and days/dates I have a bar we could use - I run an annual beer festival with the Owner so we’re good mates. It serves excellent beer too!

It was still the Countryman when I lived in Sharnford. I'm pretty sure it's now run by the son of the local builder, Bill Edge, from Henson Way where we lived, who I think is a Cov Kid. There were loads of us lived on that street.
