we have always had good relationship with the Wednesday fans aswell, so it must be that the united fans are assembled from the less educated parts.
Afternoon Coventry fans
I am a blade and I accept the abuse that may mindlessly come my way after the circus of a game last night...
Am I alone in thinking that if your team had no problems and you spent your hard earned money to travel 90 miles to watch a FOOTBALL match that you wouldn't have been a little annoyed if it were to be interrupted 3 times and delayed on a work night...
If you had been approached outside the ground by some home fans and asked to spare some money for the plight of the hosting club, or even a signature to back up a campaign then fair enough, most football supporters would happily do this. However at the end of the day the blades fans have come down heard nothing but a loud whistling, and feel the game they have paid to watch is being used not for a display of football but for a publicity stunt.
Being from Huddersfield I know that last year the exact same thing happened when they played Blackpool and the game was abandoned and a draw was awarded. If this had been in reverse and you felt the game was heading to that conclusion would you have stood and applauded knowing that it may damage your promotion push?
Whilst I am sympathetic towards any club not respecting their fans I am against anything that prevents a game of football game going ahead. The whole Tevez/Mascherano scenario was completely different, the game has laws and a team broke them. For some reason we were the only team willing to question why the FA and premier league. They decided that fining them a tiny figure in comparison to what they made due to the signing of these players was acceptable. Whilst your plight is a terrible one, it is an internal matter that I hope can be resolved with all the fans and local businesses around Coventry coming together and buying out these bandits. The Tevez affair wasn't internal it was a questioning of the governing body of the sport! and how it seems happy to dock points for a team who cannot afford to run its self (administration) or even Middlesbrough who had a virus spread round the players and couldnt raise a team, but when a London team CHEATS no points are deducted and the fine was a joke, West Ham still won! it would be like saying Lance Armstrong we know you cheated on drugs all your career, but you are still the champion however out of the 80m prize money could you give back 10 and you can compete next year!
However you dragged a team fighting for promotion into your problem who will not be able to help in this matter and we simply reacted with a bit of sarcastic banter. Just like fans who have sang Wednesday based songs at us, or who took the piss out of an innocent Ched Evans pre-trial or even when Coventry fans outside the pub at the station (The Howard) sang there's only one Carlos Tevez. We take it with a pinch of salt have a laugh and move on.
No blade wants SISU to ruin your club, however the fans that had made the trip didn't want Coventry fans ruining the entertainment of the game they had paid to watch. Neither did they want to miss their train home or be delayed and inconvenienced by something that isn't their problem...
I have no idea why you are all losing your heads about a bit of banter?
Not going to give you abuse, but one day I hope your in a similar situation and seek support from other clubs.
Your fans last night showed exactly what they are and I hope that in the future I am around to join the bandwagon of enjoying your down trodden plight.
SUFC are now one of my most detested clubs
Applauded, 1 stoppage for throwing stuff on the pitch, infact some fans got involved, however 3 stoppages 1 in the 83rd minute, got a little bit silly fans got annoyed at coventry
i don't know when your problems started as I'm not a Coventry fan, I only mentioned the Tevez thing has it had been brought up earlier.
I genuinely would care regardless of whether it was Wednesday Leeds or Millwall if they had been cheated like that.
Like I said the banter was simply because you were ruining a game day for afew thousand blades fans, not many of which know much other than that your board is screwing your club, like Blackpool, Bradford, Leeds, Wimbledon and many other clubs have had happen to them.
anthony - just fuck off you really havent got a clue
Slight over reaction a bit of singing makes you detest a club!?
Christ above well let's hope you don't do one of these protests against Millwall, Leeds, Man U etc. They would feel equally has inconvenienced by something that has had literally nothing to do with them!
if we are in this plight and we try and interupt the match at Bramall lane in mid winter in this manner then by all means i will join you in the abuse of the idiots that run on the pitch and/or throw stuff at opposition players
Good comeback, thought of that all by yourself?
Were we supposed to read the history of Coventry just before a league 1 match on a Thursday night...
Stopping a match 3 times is annoying and would annoy any away set of supporters? The hatred of Sheffield United seems a little strong
We did not have a hatred for you before last night.
in fact we did - their manipulation of their own ball boys has always wound me up - fast feeding their own players, and holding back from the opposition
I'm still seething about the game where Jay McEveley murdered Ruben Lameiras and got little more than a high five from the ref for it.

If he had murdered him I'd have high fived him - it would spare me watching him again
I am really surprised by all the hate. So they haven't supported us in our plight. So what, plenty of others haven't either, including our own fans. What number is the CT petition total at now? must be at least 50K eh? That's how many people would want Wembley tickets if we ever got there again.
Maybe we think our issues are understood more widely than they actually are?
Chill out ffs, the message we sent was the important one, not how SU fans responded.

Did any of our fan groups make contact with theirs regarding the protests, ask them to join in etc?Not going to give you abuse, but one day I hope your in a similar situation and seek support from other clubs.

I have to say that sometimes you really come across as anything but a Sky Blues fan.If he had murdered him I'd have high fived him - it would spare me watching him again

Most of the time I hope our young players don't read these forums. If you are reading this Ruben, please don't take his opinion to reflect all Coventry fans views, most of us are always 100% behind you.
Eloquent as ever I see
