Really, I didn't phrase my original question well, did I? I meant to put something along the lines of; which would you prefer, success for CCFC or for England.

kg82 · Jun 15, 2012

Hmm, I'd take promotion any way we can get it, so I'll say England for this!!

rob9872 · Jun 15, 2012

Should change poll to "Your country winning a major championship" as all of the non English City fans have a clear no choice that will distort the results.

No Brainer!!!

hughescov · Jun 15, 2012

The after party would be so much better if we won the league (in Cov anyway..)

Thank you Rob!

(Trouble is, Ireland are on their way home! Ah well. It was fun while it lasted!)

Was like a teenager with premature ejaculation though wasn't it.

skybluegod · Jun 15, 2012

easy euro's for me we'd still be in a shit positon with sisu in charge no funding and all the best players leaving and we would only be in the championship.

Macca · Jun 15, 2012

England winning euros. We don t need to be champions to go up

Astute · Jun 16, 2012

We have SISU. England has a shite manager. Neither will happen

Would choose us though. Could be what is needed to sort our club out and get back to the top flight.

skybluelee · Jun 16, 2012

Any Englishman who chooses England in this poll is not a proper Coventry supporter. I'd happily see England go out on Tuesday if it means City go up next year. And so should you.

What utter bollocks!!!! Why can't you be a full-bloodied City supporter AND support your national team? I can't believe you've said this!

Yes quite right, because it's the law

Otis · Jun 16, 2012

I can't believe he's said that either, Houch! :facepalm:

An utterly ridiculous thing to say. I have been supporting my team since the 1960's, was born here, love my City and back and support everything going in this City.

Don't think anyone can say that anyone supports CCFC more than I do and every single defeat the City suffer spoils my entire weekend I feel that strongly about them.

I did choose England though and always will. I am a very proud Coventrian and a very proud Englishman too.

For me I cannot envisage anything better than the whole country in unison and I do find your comment rather offensive I have to say.

superskyblue · Jun 16, 2012

Personally I find it very difficult to support the England football team, but feel very passionately about the cricket and rugby teams. Coventry promotion all the way for me.

An interesting question, Torchy.

Didn't you run a similar poll on the CET website in Dec 2007, stating whether lifelong fans should keep their shares and see the club go into administration, or sell to SISU who will 'save' our club, and buy into RR's vision of footballing greatness etc etc?

As a matter of fact, how did that vote pan out? It'd be interesting to see that in light of current events.

Clearly should have added a smiley of some description as my comment was entirely tongue in cheek!

That's okay then. I take back my vitriol!

Slightly controversial view on the manager.

No neither will happen but if they could then England can lose 6 - 0 against the Ukraine for all I care.

ccfcway · Jun 16, 2012

CCFC will always be my life

after that, its england

then its GB and NI

then its Europe

then its the world

then its the universe

then its the milky way

England has a good manager. If Harry was in charge he'd be playing the only way he knows how - open, attacking football which we're crap at as we can't even pass a ball. I like him - but many players have said that Harry doesn't really do tactics.

Roy is the best man for the job. His CV pisses all over Redknapp's.

No worries.

England for me.

Only because it's something you could share with everyone.

I think some people may mis understand this.

SBL may perhaps mean that no CCFC supporter should want England's success ABOVE CCFC success.

If there is a choice of one - which is one reason why I think the original question is bollocks - then it HAS to be CCFC success.

I want England to do well, but would NEVER trade this for CCFC success.

For example, if you travel away - particularly to the shitty Tuesday night games - at considerable expense, you would NOT state that you would prefer success for the national team over CCFC.

An interesting but pointless thread IMO.

torchomatic · Jun 17, 2012

The reason I started it LBB was due to a discussion on another thread. Admittedly, I didn't phrase the question choices very well; maybe "Success for CCFC or for England, which would you choose?" As I said on that thread, it will always be CCFC for me. England hold no interest in comparison.

Apologies, the thread has triggered some interesting debate, so not necessarily pointless as I stated.

Otis · Jun 17, 2012

Of course it's pointless!!!

We all know Coventry City are never going to win anything!

BackRoomRummermill · Jun 17, 2012

Always enjoy a Cov success more than England.
