editor at large of the Wall Street Journal Gerard Baker announcing on Trevor Phillips sky News this morning that he is a Coventry fan, getting in a bit about our being top of the championship and unbeaten.
They are all coming out of the woodwork now.
I wonder if we can check his supporter number. How many points has he got?

Just had a flashback to Saturday when I thought I’d saw the comedian Josh Pugh outside the CBS with a city hat on.

He’s came up on my Instagram which reminded me so just googled him and looks like he’s a Nuneaton lad so would make sense.

All the ‘big names! now coming out the shadows!

Yep, I see him in block 15 although he does tend to move around in the stands. Like looking for Wally some matches. Also harder when he has his wooly hat on.

To be fair, Josh started taking more of an interest just before we got really good but he is a ST holder now and absolutely loves it.

He's the editor of a newspaper. He's in charge of a lot of words.

Never heard of him (yes, I know, he's never heard of me, either).
Must look him up.

Gerry Baker hasn't aged well, mind. Not surprising as he died 12 years ago

He has always been there - Even when he was in Corrie (I was brought up on it on at my moms house) and presumably spending a lot of time in Manchester for filming he rarely missed a home game

Never met him but meant to be a nice bloke by all accounts

Stands near me in B15. ST holder. Anyway we should have more well known people in the stands rather than them having to endure the PSB in the West stand.
