They are a really strange bunch. They just spend their entire time trying to force a rivalry with every club because nobody cares enough about them. They are just "there" Coventry to everyone in Britain is 1. The place Keeping Up Appearances was filmed. 2. And when you go past Rugby on the train to London everyone seems to class that as sort of the unofficial half way point to London and someone asks where the hell Rugby is and the reply is "near Coventry" They are known for absolutely nothing else. Not quite true…. Benjamin Brittens War Requiem was first performed at Coventry Cathedral to honour the newly built one(it’s a rather beautiful building surrounded by the ruins of the old one and then the most horrific shit)…the old one was bombed to fuck in the war. I mean.. I wasn't being serious 🤷🏻♂️. |

Isn't there a station right next to the stadium about 5 minutes walk just gets rammed?

"Half their lot were trashing their own City up this time last week - Sums them up
Let them have it, file it away, move on and we’ll thrash them at our place later in the season"
Really want to register and just sit and wait for us to beat them at their place just so I can be petty and quote this and laugh at them 😂

Very touchy about the piss take of Twist and Shout Never noticed them sing it before, it was embarrassing, absolutely fair game to take the piss As for Stoke-on-Trent being not a nice place, glad they told us, had no idea, thought I was living in an urban paradise Will have to get down to Cov to experience sophisticated modern city WTF are they thinking. It made “mauled by the tigers” look intimidating. |

Really? You can find two threads on here of people complaining about the parking. I would say the location of the stadium is generally despised by most fans. The train station bit is dramatic. But it’s literally nothing that isn’t whinged about on and off on here 🤣 I wasn’t defending our stadium and its access etc I was pointing out it’s paradise compared to getting away from that place of theirs It takes a similar amount of time to actually get to your car/train station as it does to get back to Stoke once in it Don’t bite. It’s just Bayern doing what he does. Adopt a contrary point of view to elicit a reaction and start an argument. |

Same size club, support and city with honest people spend fortunes watching their team knowing we’ll eventually win fuck all
I’m not going to slate Coventry or it’s public as a club and as a city we’ve had it tough over the years

Always found Coventry a bit ‘meh’ to be honest.
Not Reading or Watford levels of ‘meh’ but ‘meh’ all the same
One club city who’ve won about the same as us yet their fans think they are something special

Whinges about the parking. And wants a train station closer to the ground. What the Coventry fan has said is literally the moaning we get on here 🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️ |

Funny that they moan about our ground, yet they had to ground share with Northampton for a few seasons.

Us lot have our faults but arrogance isn’t one of them. |

Always bring good numbers and loud, quite like the twist and shout, a bit more original than 'oh when the reds'

Never done Coventry away but was under the impression it has its own train station?

Football wise best known for Jimmy Hill, that Ernie Hunt / Willie Carr free kick, FA Cup final comeback win v Spurs and most of all for having an all-seater stadium before they were a thing.

Coventry are just another beige club like Preston or Watford.
They just exist to pad out the league until someone else replaces them in the game of promotion/relegation.
They are clubs no one would miss if they disappeared from the league to be replaced by the next lucky contender from the lower echelons.

But because it’s away fans saying it, it’s a slap around the face of our honour and must be defended. Properly funny. |

Until Jimmy Hill went to work on them Coventry City were of far more consequence to the Vale than they were to Stoke. Very much a 3rd division outfit.
