anybody catch what happened for it to kick off a bit at the front of the stand. Looked like a few of ours and a few of theirs pretend to try and get at each other before police got between them. A few things chucked over too.
Hope the antics of a few predictable inadequate's don't put her off attending in the future.Yea right next to it daughter was crying had to move her

My daughter was a 'babe in arms' in 2005 but I had to take her to our penultimate fixture at HR, against Wolves (I knew I would be an emotional and drunken wreck after the final game.) just in case she grew up to be a City fan and she'd be able to say "I went to Highfield Road".She will be OK saw all the malarcy at both Sunderland games last year, it does scare her but she loves going
I didn't realise they were so close to us.
How very apt that their team play in yellow.The thing that shocked me the most was what happened outside the stadium on the way back to the car. A blonde girl in a denim skirt and Coventry City top on was approached by four male Oxford United fans who called her "a fucking slag" and threatened to "bang her out". The girl was with somebody who I think was her dad and clearly not in a position to defend her against four lads. Me and my friend were about to step in when a group of stewards moved the lads along.
I've seen trouble kick off at football matches before, but never seen a woman singled out for such abuse and violence.
If the girl who got threatened is reading this, then I just want to say you had at least two Cov fans who were about to jump in before the stewards turned up.
Its not really banter though is it ?Was just banter mainly, I was by the segregation netting.
Cov lads winding them up big time and they tried to charge the netting. Verbals and gestures from top to bottom all game, been happening at games forever.

Mostly it was a few campy oxford and then the city fans decided to wind them upIts not really banter though is it ?
Never bet on Cov...Joking aside I have a mate who had a 3 fold score and win and city let him down! £1500 down the pan!
It’s embarrassing.
Been to six nations games in last couple of years and it’s crazy, but I still next to some wales fans and we don’t want to hit each other.
Bet the cowards wouldn’t have said that two years ago to a woman when 45,000 Coventry City were about?The thing that shocked me the most was what happened outside the stadium on the way back to the car.

The thing is, while I'm not defending trouble, the reason why I hate rugby is part of what you said.
I like the fact that in football you dislike everyone you play. It gives it the egde. It's why away games are so good. That isn't saying people should be throwing punches, but a bit of winding up from each sides isn't too bad. From what I saw today, it was just a bunch of young lads from Oxford and a few blokes from our end calling each other wankers.

Hi there, the girl in question was my wife (lol at the Dad comment). The lads in question believe it or not were actually Coventry fans, albeit as regulars at away games we can’t recall seeing them before. Oddly it all kicked off because the mouthy one was shouting “thanks for the 3 points” which would make you think they were Oxford supporters. My wife having heard this (and who loves a bit of banter) said “thanks for the trophy a couple of seasons back” to which she then got called a slag and was told they were Cov supporters - very odd.
Of course she wasn’t happy at being called a slag and rightly told him so, he then threatened to knock her out... my wife is no wall flower and this was a red rag to a bull so she called him out on the threat and told him to go ahead (I’m pretty sure she’d have knocked him clean out had he raised a hand lol) - the stewards then stepped in and we went back to the car.
A massive thank you btw for being there to step in if needed

Warwick Uni students??Who threatens to ‘bang out’ a woman? FFS.
Glad nothing happened - youth of today - no respect - would have been hilarious if she had decked one - he would never live it downHi there, the girl in question was my wife (lol at the Dad comment).
