Agreed mate. WarwickBedworth isn't Coventry for a start.
Wolves and Brighton are examples of lost generations returning to the fold.Proportion of young football fans in mid Warwickshire (Leam/Warwick) who would name the Sky Blues as their team, and go to at least some of the games
1968 – 80%
2018 – 10%
Only guesses of course, but realistic guesses based on local knowledge. Claiming back the surrounding towns is a vital part of turning the club’s fortunes around IMO. How to do it is another matter, and sadly most of those who now “support” other teams have no intention of regularly attending live matches anyway. Third tier live football is a hard sell in the face of the instant gratification of seeing "your" team win on a smartphone or on a screen in the pub.
Anyone care to guess what percentage of young fans in Cov itself count themslves as supporting CCFC?
In and around Stratford it’s mostly Villa and Blues. Not that many Cov fans around here unfortunately. Seems to be a good yield around Leamington though and recently the LWCCFCSC has helped aswell in that respect.
Bunch of cants they are tooGood contingent of City fans here in Banbury.
And TorontoOne fucker in Tampa m8
I've lived in Wyken, Earlsdon, Radford, Longford and Stoke in my time, and would rank them as 1 - Longford, 2 - Wyken, 3 - Stoke, 4 - Radford, 5 - Earlsdon in my experience.
I'd forgotten I also lived in Cheylesmore too - but never really felt that was a CCFC stronghold.
Also lived in Rugby up until 1983 where there was decent support. Away coaches went from the Saracens Head in the town, and there was a thriving supporters club. I remember Dave Sexton, Harry Roberts and Rudi Kaiser coming to events there.
Lots in AlbertaAnd Toronto
Yes, I didn’t mention that, many people feel we left the heart of the club at Highfield Road, but that shouldn’t perhaps influence new (young) supporters?It's in the heart and ground that matters.
Lots of us in Ryton on Dunsmore
Too right!Bunch of cants they are too
you are being so specific you should know if it is 6 or if it is 7Surprisingly, 6 or 7 of us in St Neots in Cambridgeshire from 5 different families.
Please accept my apologies kind Sir.I think you mean the L&WCCFCSC Adge - not sure how you could have got it so wrong!
Genuinely, probably somewhere out of Coventry.
Every Cov fan I seem to speak to live outside the city boundaries.
Bedworth isn't Coventry for a start.
Although Sickboy did send me a package once. Does that make us friends?I'm in the badlands of Wiltshire.
I'm the only Coventry City fan that I know.
And proud of it!!!
