Please let's just all put this pathetic "Rivalry" to one side. There is no rivalry, other than a bunch of idiots, who the vast majority of probably don't even know who Jimmy Hill is, trying to cause something out of nothing.
For what it's worth I think Coventry are a decent club. You play some good football, travel in numbers and generally seem a decent bunch.
Also, please don't take what you read on the SMB as a true representation of the average Sunderland fan. We aren't self entitled, don't believe we are too big for the Championship and most accept where we are, but are just happy to be out of that god awful league (League 1). We've had a crap 5 or 6 years and finally look to be on the up.
The ticket allocation I think is, largely in part, due to a minority of idiots in your support who decided to throw stuff at the fans below during your last visit. Again, not to say that's your fanbase as a whole, every club has it's knackers.
The piss taking about you not selling your tickets is more tongue in cheek at your manager claiming you could have sold 10k if given them. Made himself look a bit of a tool there.
It's going to be a tough season for us this year, mid table would be a huge achievement for us, but avoiding relegation has to be the main aim. I think you lot will be in and around the play offs from what I saw of you last year.
All the best for the season lads, just hope Sunday is a miserable day for you all haha. Let's try have a good atmosphere between the fans come Sunday...nothing worse than a manufactured rivalry between 2 decent sets of fans.
