I was stuck outside at the turnstiles when they did the tribute to the City fans lost during the Pandemic, did anyone manage to take a video of it? I would appreciate a copy of it if possible.

Sad to say I saw a friends name on the screen and I didn’t know, seemed he passed last August - him and his lad both season tickets holders

It was a lovely touch. Very sad to see so many young faces though. A fair proportion of those shown were no age at all.

Sorry, but I don't live in the City and wondered who the lad was who passed on the screen with the tribute during the match.

He the lad who drowned in Dorset a few weeks ago trying to save some people who’d got into difficulties in the sea I think.

I missed it as we were stuck outside the ground, just watched it and saw somebody I knew on there and I didn’t know he had died.

The clubs engagement with their fans has improved so much in recent times. Coventry City is back in the heart of the community. A very tasteful and simple tribute, that we all felt watching it and I’m sure gratefully received by family and friends of the departed. Well done CCFC

RIP Robin Ogleby. A lovely man who is sadly missed.

A very touching tribute by the club.

Missed it at the time but I was really sad to see Asheesh up there. Would only have been 45.
Lovely tribute to them all.
