They welcomed us to their place. Never came across negativity from them. The few idiots they have will not change my mind on the rest of them.

Would anyone like to be seen as the same as our few idiots?

But let's not pretend they didn't get a big, big chunk of money from us to play there. The pubs and catering around the ground benefitted from us being there too

Waited for the players at the end with the kids and it was going off big time

Fences, cones, blues fighting coppers, everything

Awful layout at that place always has been. Will be carnage of we're ever in the prem

Actually agree, villa fans are sound, all the blues fans I work with are utter bellends which are massively bitter by living in Villa's shadow.

A few older Cov lads attacked a group of Blues around the back of Arena park area (slip road) One Blues fan was sparked out, a Cov fan attacking his mate, then continued when the Blues fan was trying to aid his mate who was knocked out. Not nice to see. Older Cov then disappeared looking smug, then a few City youth who followed on got chased by a couple of irate Blues lads who had come back to the lad who was spark out. The Blues lot left with the groggy Blues fan (who had received medical attention) but I suspect an innocent Cov fan was going to get lamped by this group as retribution. All a bit messy and the older Cov lot were old enough to know better.

Because, like Northampton, the fans were happy to have us there because of the financial gain.

Does all of our support come from just Coventry?

In your biased view it will if you compare it with Birmingham who have to share the catchment area with several sides.

Well done. Yes looking at it strictly Birmingham and Villa are close to the city centre. The rest are in suburbs of Birmingham. I suppose by Grendel rules nobody who lives in Birmingham supports any club closer to them because of invisible boundaries. And all of our support only comes from Coventry.

That’s nothing to do with what you said!

I’m sure If you sat in a pub in Dudley and said it’s a suburb of Birmingham it would be well received

I was always told that technically one of them isn't Birmingham either, but has kind of been absorbed into it as time's gone on. I make no claim as to whether this is true or not, and am certainly not wasting my time wordily arguing it with a bunch of timewasting loons

Hopefully this puts to bed some of our fans trying to initiate some faux bonhomie with them.
They wankers and tramps basically.

There are only 2 clubs in Birmingham the city. And that wider catchment area they share with a couple of other clubs is enormous, over 3 million people. Birmingham clubs, Blues particularly, have poor support imo.

Annoying today. We usually go up the slope just before the tunnel into Car Park C then walk down the path, up the grass slope and over the bridge as we park at the John Shelton school. They wouldn't let us do that today. I understand there might be trouble, but home fans shouldn't be inconvenienced, they should have kept them in for a while.

We also have a massive catchment area. It wasn't 10% of the population of Coventry at the game today.

How many do you think would have turned up today if we were as low as Birmingham and had nothing to play for?

Catchment area not nearly as big as Blues, not even close.

Don't care particularly, and don't see what today has to with it, as I'm not really commenting about us anyway. I'm talking historically, Blues should be a very big club, but they're not. It's weird really.

A lot of it is down to how a club is presently doing. We are looking at a playoff place. The ground was rammed. If we were where Birmingham are we would have been lucky to have had 20,000.

Birmingham share their catchment area with other clubs. Ours goes up towards Birmingham and Leicester. We're doing well. We have won a couple of times at Wembley in recent years. Before then our support was very poor. Even in the Prem it wasn't very good. I remember the days in the top flight that over 12,000 was a decent crowd.

A little success makes a massive difference.

Perversely I enjoyed ST. Andrews, we parked by the Spotted Dog pub which became our local fir the season, very pleasant pub with decent Blues fans up until we played them in the cup, full of "Lads" then , totally different atmosphere.
