Its a big problem when you move away from the Coventry area that you no longer have fellow Skyblues around you. I was born and brought up in the Banbury area that has loads of Cov fans back in the pre 2000 when I lived there but as soon as you move away you lose touch with those groups, which is natural.
A lot of them were oldish then so lots have passed away, plus the Northampton fiasco most left now don't go.
Went to live in France and now back in Norfolk where every fucker either supports Norwich or Ipswich, which is great as you should support your local side.but very few desperate masochist's who support Cov
Someone should come up with a footballing app where you go on and say id like to go to this particular game but have no one to go with who supports Cov for example, each club having there own site sort of thing, so others could see who might be in the same boat who live near to you, so you could hook up and go together or in groups.
With the big clubs their fans are everywhere, but for clubs like Cov the few get more spread out as we age as people move away from their birthplaces so is a problem.
It is great to go to a game who is mad enough to support Cov, you can help each other through the mental anguish
I have heard of grindr but thankfully being married never had to use it. Wouldn't have thought you needed grindr in Cov to tell you the truth, bit like Banbury back in the days, you knew some places, bars/discos, that you were guaranteed to get laid, just don't open your eyes in the morning because it was absolutely certain she's not going to look nothing like the beauty you thought she was after your tenth pint last night
what about my app idea, brilliant eh
Scunthorpe is north surely? It's more North than Sheffield.
Nah it's in Lincolnshire which is a Midlands county.
so who wants to come in on my app idea as a 50+ man these things are well over my head. They will have to fund it and I will take all the profits, great propositionI have heard of grindr but thankfully being married never had to use it.

It's still more north than Sheffield, which is Yorkshire which is northern
I've noticed there's a few of you northern based Cov fans on here, so was wondering if any of you's would be up for tagging along to away matches based up here (not many this season)?? and even away games further afield if up for it.
Let me know cheers
We should meet for a kick about
NW v SW

Rest of Cov V Earlsdon

Scunny is in North Lincolnshire. It is Easterly. Skeggy is North East Lincolnshire. Is that also in the Midlands?Nah it's in Lincolnshire which is a Midlands county.
Scunny is in North Lincolnshire. That's the unitary council. The area it covers falls within the historic county of Lincolnshire, the entirety of which is a Midlands county - therefore North Lincolnshire is Midlands.
It is Easterly. Yes, the East Midlands!
Skeggy is North East Lincolnshire. Is that also in the Midlands? Yes
See aboveSo is Manchester in the Midlands as it is level with Lincolnshire?
Indeed but the "north/midlands" divide isn't a straight line along a particular latitude - it follows the combined southern borders of the Southern-most Northern counties Cheshire (where it meets Wales near Whitchurch), Lancashire (including what is now Greater Manchester) and Yorkshire where the southern border is the north bank of the Humber out to the North Sea.
Do we not have an east/west then. Just north/midlands/southSee above
Don't mess with me, I'm a geographer by profession! :emoji_blush:

It's the old county border between Yorkshire (north) and Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire (Midlands)As far as I am concerned, the North starts when I cross the Mersey / Ship Canal on the M6.
Not sure about M1 side of the country
What about Cornwall?Correct - the only exception is East Anglia which isn't obviously midlands, north or south.
