It is a bit.... someone referred to 1996 earlier in the thread... which is incidentally when Leeds got a good kicking on the pitch last day of the season.
It's not though , is it .
I was there but I'm on about before that .It is a bit.... someone referred to 1996 earlier in the thread... which is incidentally when Leeds got a good kicking on the pitch last day of the season.
Corner of west end and sky blue stand as I recall. Kicked of big time.Whilst i wouldn't personally choose to jump up after a goal if i was an away fan in the City home end.... i don't think its any more "risky" than it was 25-30 years ago.
I'm sure most people here have seen away fans literally get kicked down the stairs and out of the exits at Highfield Rd... i remember one of the Portsmouth games being a particularly bad example of this..... that level of hostility/violence isn't so likely to happen these days.

You'd have to be a complete idiot to buy a ticket you have no intention of using for the points and then sell it to an away fan. It will take the club seconds to work out who originally purchased the ticket and ban them.There have been lots for sale from people who bought them for points without going. If they do then hope police just move them into the away end
This is going to get ugly
If not inside, then outsideNo it isn’t.
There won’t be any Leeds fans in the home areas as you can only buy a ticket if you have done previously
Suggesting our fans aren’t mindless thugs is putting them down?100% , why do you keep putting our fans down ?
I thank you. I didn't even consider that by saying mindless attacks wouldn't happen I would be criticising our fans for their restraint.Suggesting our fans aren’t mindless thugs is putting them down?
Just spoke to a mate who knows a few Leeds lads and apparently they are coming in big numbers despite their moderate allocation.
Not sure why they would do that really, yes its an important game but by no means their biggest of the season.
I remember a man city fan getting punched over the advertising boards in the main stand at Highfield rd. Spurs fans got filled in between the main stand and west terrace after the cup game one was knocked spark out. I was involved at that portsmouth game, luckily got found not guilty.Whilst i wouldn't personally choose to jump up after a goal if i was an away fan in the City home end.... i don't think its any more "risky" than it was 25-30 years ago.

I had the pleasure of being bricked by Leeds fans as a 10 year old child, at the bottom of Catherine street. We were about 20 yards from the trouble . So either the dick who threw it was a very poor shot, or he was aiming at a bloke with 2 small children on the opposite side of the street. Still remember sitting in Cov & Warwick’s hospital A&E for 2 hours , seeing the walking wounded from both sides rolling in. These were the days of flares and 3 star jumpers , where away fans bought multiple programs and stuffed them into their patch pocket trousers to bring back for their mates. I remember some stranger helping me up off the floor with my Dad, asking if I could remember the score . I a massive lump on my head and had mild concussion but I still knew it was 4-2 to City !To be fair, Leeds are a horrible bunch I've been watching Cov since the early seventies, they are the worst I've encountered.
Dirty fuckers who think they are something special.
It did kick off; the Wheatsheaf mob (and i drink in there regularly on match days) hurled things at our coach (heading back to Warwick). Luckily the coach driver didn't let our 2 top boys off the coach, otherwise several hundred Wheatsheafers were in troubleLook, if it didnt kick off against Leicester, which i dont think it did, and both Cov and Leicester had hundreds of each others 'firms' out its not going too against Leeds
Is there some sort of beef with Leeds i am unaware of? I mean if they bring 4k is it a big deal really?Apparently they are taking 4,000 to the FA Cup Semi Final as well, just because they are Leeds and they can!
No they didnt. We got a kicking didnt we? From memory we took a kicking off Leeds twice, 1996 and i think 1992 when the est end turned around and legged it on the pitch and Pompey gave us a going over, they are the 3 i remember at HR. We were a docile fanbase in the 90s/00s. Werent most of mad heads from the 80's banned for much of the 90's?It is a bit.... someone referred to 1996 earlier in the thread... which is incidentally when Leeds got a good kicking on the pitch last day of the season.
On that note a leeds mate of mine said if we win we get Summerville and Archie Gray next seasonThe average cov fan
spoke to a mate of a mate of a mate who says Leeds will bring 4k down even though they've sold 2 , just to stand outside

Mate no offence but you really are trying to make Coventry fans sound tougher than they are. We are not that type of fanbase. Yes obviously there are some guys who like a rumble but speak to any fans of other clubs sort of itk with the 'hooligan' elements and the Cov firm is generally laughed at. Its no different now to the 90's which i assume you were referring to?It's not though , is it .

Email sent out to corporate season ticket holders earlier. I guess it confirms Leeds fans in hospitality areas.
This is a generic e-mail to all corporate members. Please pass onto any guests in your party for home games.
A polite reminder regarding supporter behaviour and dress code in hospitality areas.
Supporter Behaviour & Respect
Guests supporting the opposition team are welcome in our hospitality areas. Some guests may even have mixed fans in their group for the day.
We respectfully request that both home and visiting supporters are mindful of the fact that they will be seated with supporters from the opposing team and behaviour must always remain appropriate, and both sets of supporters should behave with decorum and mutual respect to each other.
Any inappropriate behaviour may result in immediate ejection from the ground and may result in Club banning orders.
