Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From Coventry

[Houston_Blade]

I've never met a single Blade who has anything against Coventry City whatsoever. Every season I read their View From, and end up baffled at why they hate us so much. Proper peculiar fan base.

I don’t like them, but it’s just because they’re a set of weirdos who seem obsessed with making rivalries where they don’t exist.

Where is anybody trying to muster up a rivalry?

I refer you to the OP and his comment-gathering

“Sheff U away. The one away fixture above all others I’d love us to win.”
"Would love to beat these though as both a manager and fan base I cant stand."
“I would just like to reiterate how much I hate Sheffield United as a club , fanbase and the spud face that manages them”
"Would love nothing more than to beat em"
“One of those clubs that in my lifetime have always seemed to have an XL sized chip on their shoulder when it comes to us”

I suppose we may not be alone in generating these feelings in the Coventry fanbase but it is a little weird. Maybe it's also because despite them seeing themselves as a bigger club they tend to lose at Bramall Lane (and to be fair, we usually lose when we play on the outskirts of Coventry/Northampton/wherever they're playing their home matches too)*. They've not done the double over us since their first season in the Championship back in 01/02.

This century:

Overall: P35 W16 D7 L13
