Coventry are the spawniest bunch of b*stards after Arsenal. How many times in their frankly unbelievable stay of 35 years in the top flight did they finish one or two places above the relegation zone?
I work with a couple of Cov fans. One's a complete pillock who goes on about getting back to where we belong, to which I point out that pre-1967 they'd never been in the top division.
The other one said one way or t'other we won't be playing each other next year but sadly I think we will.

I started going in 1981/1982 season, aged 6 years old, a couple of weeks before that Coventry match i was mascot against Newcastle United, we were that bad then we had Barry Siddall in goals, and Paul Dyson in defence, but i still have the photos and the signed football (the signatures have faded now) the club gave me, and am still proud to have been a mascot, COME ON STOKE LETS GET BACK TO WHERE WE BELONG

Been meaning to post this for ages ... Finally got a scan off me dad. Seeing this topic last night reminded me (this is from an even earlier time, though!) Are you on the picture below? Taken from back page of The Sentinel - You can click for bigger versions (and for a pic of Baker walking past "The Cage" - How the hell did we ever see though that!?) ... Also - For the trainspotters ... You'll note we were being shown on the telly ... My fantastical knowledge of such matters, tells me that this was for Star Soccer on ATV ... Me and Dad Up The Football, a million and four years ago ... bless ... are you pictured too?
ah

Coventry City........Dyson.....Jimmy Hill....that vile brown away kit that looked like it had been dunked in a large vat of shite....always seemed to finish their season just before the rest of the football league were about to start pre season training.....what a shame if they get relegated ha ha....
