Don't slag off our own fans mate. There aren't too many who can take 40k to Wembley for L2 playoffs (see Exeter)

I'm actually sticking up for our fans , I'm saying that many people in Warwickshire don't care about football , it's quite an affluent place , they like rugby union more

We have many students too living in Coventry

Why? There's nothing else at all around mid-Warwickshire.

Seriously? We're surrounded by clubs.

I've seen people use the city/population thing to suggest we should be much better supported than Middlesbrough. But Middlesbrough has a bigger urban area and much bigger wider catchment area with very few clubs to compete with. Our crowds are entirely consistent with other clubs with a similar geography to us. It's weird, people talk about how well supported Leeds are, but apply the same criteria to them, why aren't they getting 70,000?

Annoyingly around Warwick, Leam, Nuneaton are a big number of Villa fans.

I grew up in Kenilworth in the 70s, I reckon probably half the kids at school supported the City at the time and the rest glory hunters.

Evo1883 · Jul 30, 2022

We do have an awful lot of glory fans in the city though .. it's undeniable

It is strange that Robins hasn't said anything though .. he's been interviewed since the leaks said he's injured

He doesn't tend to publicly announce injuries ahead of a fixture though.

Burnley also had a similar population to coventry until the 1930s

I had only two school mates who were Vile fans - lovely lads, both of them would scrap for you too.

First time I've heard Bedworth, Nuneaton, Rugby and Atherstone being called affluent!

WestEndAgro · Jul 30, 2022

I coach junior football.
The amount of young kids wearing Cov kits is quite amazing, we are definitely on the up.
Yes the sessions are littered with Liverpool, Man United etc but nowhere near the numbers they used to be.

Loads of people out in the new kid. Even kids I had no clue their parents are cov fans.

Want to look at an incredibly well supported club , then look at Sunderland

Population of NE England is around 2.7 million. You have 4 clubs, Newcastle, Sunderland, Boro and Hartlepool.

Population of West Mids about 2.9 million and you have Villa, Albion, Wolves, Birmingham City, Coventry and Walsall.

There are more non-league clubs down here too, plus a more transient population and far higher levels of immigration, not to mention lots of league clubs not far outside the area - Stoke, Leicester, Derby etc.

Controversial take - more people watch their local clubs in this region that in the NE. It is certainly true of NW England.

SBT · Jul 30, 2022

All anyone talks about down here in London is Burnley this, Burnley that. They are an absolutely massive club.

This is so true. Watched my daughter's training this morning (under 14s), and of the 12 replica shirts being worn, nine were City tops.

Think I was one of only two who supported City, who was my age, through primary school. I remember it being very low throughout the school.

There was a few in secondary. Two of them are now professional and one coaches our u18s(?)

Parts of the South but Warwickshire as a whole is very split. Baxterley, Baddesley, Ansley, Arley aren't!

Evo1883 · Jul 30, 2022

We are definitely on the up , all the kids round till Hill and Canley running round in knock off cov tops

I live in Warwickshire and don't know a single rugby fan, but everyone I know likes football and supports a team. Also, there's plenty of poverty.

It's true mate. I moved away from Coventry when I was 10. Of all the people I know on Facebook from Cov, I'm the only City fan. Mix of Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and United fans.

Dave Boddy only allows scans on the NHS, according to Grendel (probably)

I get that , I am probably way off the mark , all this is doing though is making our support look worse

Evo1883 · Jul 30, 2022

I know a fair few rugby fans tbh and I'm in tile hill , so I'm going to say there's alot more rugga fans in Stratford for example

Tommo1993 · Jul 30, 2022

Has anyone ever spoken to a glory supporter who lives miles from their team?

I once spotted a pretty generic football tattoo on a guy whose warehouse in Peterborough I delivered to. I asked who his team is and he said Liverpool.

Ugh. End of conversation. It seems such a massive waste.

That's bizarre. Lived here most of my life and I don't know any United or Liverpool fans, although I tend to stay off facebook.

A few years ago I was on the road a lot with my job. The Coventry office was full of Cov fans, plus a few randoms, one or two Leeds fans actually. The other offices in Preston and Doncaster, not a single PNE or Rovers fans to be found, it was weird.

Kieranp96 · Jul 30, 2022

so where did the rumour oh O'hare being injured come from ?

Speedie's Head · Jul 30, 2022

I live in Yorkshire now but my kids 14 and 10 are both Sky Blue down the middle. Matty Godden rules here

Most people I know are glory supporters. Even got a few around my age that support Blackburn from when they had Jack Walkers money

Happy_Martian · Jul 30, 2022

Think its fair to say that the recent buzz around the city has been because of our upward moves. And peer pressure at school will get kids to wear whatever is fashionable at the time. So our new kit sells well. But they're not the ones buying tickets, its the predominance of adults and they're either not interested in football or they were brought up at a time when Coventry wasn't as glamourous as it is now so their club interests are elsewhere.

Had to delete one of them, after he was slagging cov fans for taking 40k to Wembley for the check a trade. He's cov born and bred, and a Chelsea fan

But the evidence is that they are buying tickets. If we have a good season (big if), there is every chance we can exceed the 21K average in 2006 and it would then be the highest since the late 70s. Put that into context, we could this season see our best attendance average in nearly 50 years - as a 2nd tier club. The buzz is extending beyond shirt sales. Does seem to be quite a lot of momentum at the moment.

As others have pointed out, there is a shockingly high % of Villa fans. Probably not quite as bad as it was as I think they got a big surge from the European Cup win. Growing up I had mates who supported Villa and never shut up about that-their dads were City fans, too!
