I see myself as a Coventarian, neither a southerner nor northerner and don't feel any affinity with anywhere else in the Midlands.My Son supports Cov from the North West but how do Coventry fans see themselves as Midlanders 1st then who next North or South.....please dont day Southerners
I’m still bitter from Warwickshire bears changing their name
Remember going to Highfield Road and Warwickshire had beaten Lancashire in the Cricket scoring about 500 + runs and Coventry fans singing about itI’m still bitter from Warwickshire bears changing their name
Coventry is definitely Midlands, neither North or South. I live in Devon and to me West Country is, in the main, Cornwall, Devon and Somerset with Bristol at the top end. Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Dorset are transition counties, especially East Dorset and Wiltshire which are really southern counties. Go to Bournemouth and the accent has changed to a London accent already.Midlands is the Midlands. Neith North nor South. Got its own thing going on.
Side question apart from farmers what is the perception of people from the West Country? I live here and it's so different than elsewhere. Hate how the northerners class half the country as cockney wide boys or pansies
I do associate with the south more, but that is only because it is warmer and I am a wuss.Coventrian
But if you are asking which I identify more with, it is definitely the south, particularly London
Our 'balanced' geographical location meant we spent one season in the North section of the regionalised Div 3 before switching to Div 3 South.All of my northern friends call us southerners, the southerners think anything north of Watford is ‘The North’.
We’re definitely in the middle. For the sake of choosing for cup competition, we’re technically in the north.
I can just picture you in the leather shorts, HarryI've lived in Leamington, Whitley, Binley and Warwick. Felt happy enough in all, although one or two 'characters' around Binley. Anytime I went near Wood End, though, I felt I was starting to wander into a different world (and I worked for years in Hillfields)!
Looking forward to you putting that point of view to home supporters when we play at Millwall....Hard to say. Northerners are full on gobshites. Southerners are gobshites but they’re pansies about it.
If you ask the BBC mostly the Midlands is Shropshire - Leicestershire cos there’s fuck all stories from South Warwickshire
...at the momentCoventry is in the Midlands therefore CCFC is in the Midlands
In general the region receives crap coverage in the mainstream. I can't even remember the last long running tv show that was made in Cov, Keeping up Appearances I guess? And that ended 25 years ago and never explicitly stated that it was Coventry.
The bbc must make a shed load from the west midlands in licence fee money but they don't really appear to reinvest much of it in locally made content.
To answer the original question I consider myself from the Midlands. Can't stand 'professional northerners' or the mockney accent that you find all over the south now.
