A Coventry fan tells a slightly different story....
Dig away though.
Sounds like he remembers it pretty much as I do.
Apart from the fact that the chants began after the initial mini pitch invasion according to him.
Where did I mention any of those things and say this is equal?
City fans charged down the East Stand to try and get on the pitch only to prevented by the police and stewards

Or the full paragraph
Five minutes in and the game had to be stopped for a mini pitch invasion as City fans charged down the East Stand to try and get on the pitch only to prevented by the police and stewards who were out-numbered but did their best to keep everyone off the pitch.
Clearly not reason enough for Blades to mock them with their hateful chants?

Ah, you’re right - the one guy who ran on. I thought you meant the mass invasion near the end - the proper disruption

It still stopped the game though so it was effective and 'proper' in most people's mind.
Do Johnston Press have a scale of disruption from 'crap' to 'proper' then?
Good luck to them I say. Think of how bad things felt during the Adkins era etc and at least the club wasn’t in real danger of folding and no owners were trying to take it away. Same with Coventry - chanting support of Sisu bang out of order, and I remember saying so at the time. Mocking a dying club stuck in the craw a little - there but for the grace of God and all that
I'm sorry I really can't feel sorry for Ull fans. Even though I work in Ull. Their natural position is div3/4 and the odd appearance in Div2 if a team clicks. They then get a free stadium out of no-where (because they are an anomaly and have white phone boxes) and go up to the prem on the back of the initial plastic increase of fans (some of my friends in Ull bought a season pass for the first time) they screw that up (due to the low fan base) and go weeks from not just administration but liquidation when Allam steps in (thinking he has bought the club and the stadium) but saving Ull all the same. He gets them to the Prem as a sugar daddy. So all these fans complaining think that Ull is a prem team now. They are not a natural prem team and never have been., They are going back to their natural position where they are Div3/4 walking around with blankets now and again to keep the club afloat and now and again having a bit of time in Div2. York City were bigger than them before Ull got their free stadium, to demonstrate where they really lie.
Unlike larger teams Ull have no conurbation it's just Ull nothing to the North, East or West until you get to Selby (most of who support Leeds) they have more Rugby League followers than football unlike any other "large" centre so their fan base won't increase or has the potential to increase. So let them demonstrate but frankly Ull were a better club when they were at Boothferry and I had some respect for them then. I even used to go and watch them at Boothferry when they had a game and the Blades didn't.
Whose Ken Knighton?I still hear a grudge against them for the antics of Ken Knighton

No idea. Do your employers?
Hull fans saying they should be in the PL is the same as Swindon or Notts County fans saying it.
Not at the moment but as I'm a director of the company I work for, I could make one.
Do you think it would help me understand the pain and the suffering that the football family in Coventry suffered by our heinous behaviour?

Whose Ken Knighton?
Not mine, I don't own one.....Whose Ken Knighton?
Great comeback!

It wasn’t a comeback my good friend. Any director of a company deserves to crow about it on a forum. Far beyond anything I’ll do in my life and career, so fair play!
I'm still reeling with the pithy wit and hard hitting journalistic blow.
I'll be all right. I'm wondering about a Q7 or that nice new Porsche 4x4.
Not mine, I don't own one.....
YES! My first Grammar Police Action.
