My grandson and grand daughters will go to see our, my favourite club whenever and as soon as possible, in the short-term if that's Northampton & Sixfields, so be it! PUSB
I work in Brum, live in Soliull. I too support the NOPM line and will not go to Sixfields.
The away game at Wolves was a reminder of the passion and pride we have as CCFC fans. Wolves forums talked about us celebrating the equaliser as if we had won the FA cup - they weren't far off the mark. In such desperate times I take every goal, every point and especially every thrilling win as a landmark occasion.
I took my two boys to their first game last season (4 & 6) and they had Sky Blue Sams for Xmas!! - so I am gutted I can't further their link with the club more this season.

My grandchildren would be intelligent enough to know that going to Sixfields would put money into the pocket of the people who are responsible for taking their team away from it's home.
Coventry is my home town. My love and my club. I will probably take my lad along to watch Perth Glory more. He has no ties to Cov
Supporting NOPM, has ment no shirts or other trinkets this year. No Christmas presents or Birthday presents from the club to my son or his cousins.
This needs fixing, or this families links to the City will just become a memory and not an active part of life. Keeping the plates though.

Wasn't born in Coventry but my Dad was, in Earlsdon. I've always gone to see the City and I miss it desperately. I feel more for my son who really is Coventry City mad and it's a real shame for him. I'm not going to see the team again until they're back in Coventry. Last game I went to with my lad was the friendly at Oxford during the Summer. I think I'm being selfish depriving of going to see the team we love, but then I realise it's not me being selfish, it's SISU. He does keep badgering me to go to Sixfields but I've been resolute so far.
Perhaps you live on a glade- just over the brow of the hill next to the little house on the prairie such is your idyllic world -or is it in a wooded area so blind are you that you can't see the wood for the trees....no I got it.... the wild wild west...surely even you can spot the cowboys?
Hi there. I'd really like the opinions of those fans who live out of the city on this thread if possible.
Anyway, whenever CCFC are discussed folk naturally talk about "the people of Coventry". However many of us don't live in Coventry despite our support of the club. This might be because you've moved away, your parents moved away (that's me) or you support the club for some other reason (I've heard a few odd ones).
Whatever reason, folk like us form a sizeable part of the support. However, maybe it's those people who'll be more likely to turn away from the club than those in the City as they will have less options?
My eldest boy is now at the age (5) where I always planned to bring him to the City for his first game. I had a plan in operation to make him jealous of me and his Grandad going to games, buy him lots of merchandise and then wait for the right one to get him hooked (while at the same time beat off the attentions of the local clubs plus Man Utd, Chelsea etc). Sadly, we lost his Grandad a couple of years ago and this year I've decided, like many, not to go to home games. That doesn't look like changing for some time. Meanwhile his friends are getting free tickets to the local club and offering us some too. I'm at the point of just giving in and encouraging him to support his local team (well, it is a very good reason to support a team). With that though will be the likely end to my attendance at CCFC on a regular basis.
So, that's me. Just one person out of many but what about you? Are there others who feel the same? How do you feel this will affect the support when the club does return to Coventry? Surely there will a lot of 'out-of-towners' missing? Maybe even the youngsters who live in Cov and are my kids age will be drawn elsewhere?
