Coventry Fans on our forum

Having a rival on your doorstep, sharing your city, your office at work, sat next to you in the pub, or one of your family being a Wednesday fan, some of us are even married to Wednesday fans

Plural?
Married to more than one Wendy fan?
Isn’t that Polygamy?
Or, more accurately, Polypigamy.

Aren’t Coventry and Rotherham twinned? If they’re not, they should be. Both appear to be elaborate government experiments to determine the long term effects of virtually the entire population using spice.

But only Rotherham got found out

Yeah I understand where you’re coming from.

I, however, could not feel more differently. Having a rival on your doorstep, sharing your city, your office at work, sat next to you in the pub, or one of your family being a Wednesday fan, some of us are even married to Wednesday fans - the rivalry is etched into every part of our lives.

Might not be everyone’s opinion but to me. the rivalry with Sheffield Wednesday is as much a part of being a blade as going to Bramall Lane every other week.

I actually feel sorry for fans of teams who don’t have a proper rival - I’m sure you’ll come back with a list of ‘huge rivals’ that Coventry apparently share, but let’s be honest these are either rivalries where the other team actually has a bigger rival or (and I’m not being harsh here) ones that have been completely concocted by your own fairly weird fan base that are not reciprocated by the other team.

But each to their own I suppose.

Some good points. It's different but has it's positives either way.

A lot of our rivalries have been spoilt by our pathetic past 20 years. In the 90s, it was strong with Villa as Birmingham spent time out of the PL and in the 00s it was very lively with Leicester but their successes in the past decade completely blow us out of the water. Leicester have started to realise Derby and Forest aren't as interested in them.
