All that points towards a Coventry win.

Nice read, complimentary about the stadium and the city, we sometimes take for granted that our matchday experience is staggeringly good compared to many in football.

Sobering comment that last one though, even though it was years ago, poor fella.

Thanks, always appreciate these.

We'll take the win simply for confusing the Blades with the S6 scruffs

Aye, until 3 PM it is.

Very true, how many other 'big' city teams have their ground in their city centre? (Excluding London)

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

I really feel for the Coventry supporters, after there whacking great points deduction last season, really thought they were going to get promotion in what was a great effort by their team coupled with their time playing miles away from their home city. Losing Clarke & Wilson was a massive blow to them. If they approach this match as most other away teams have this season they will have a half decent chance of taking away at least a point ( I hope not), however, we now seem to have our own Callum Wilson in Matty Done.

Exactly, we're not in the footballing equivalent of Ambridge with the local inbreds. We also have the best badge bar none, there, an anorak's view of what matters

How so?

I'll take the win for the use of Brammel Lane!

Just as valid a reason

Welcome on board! I have some friends who are Cov fans and their experience over the last few years is a stark warning to any football fan of just how badly things can go wrong with bad decisions, bad luck and bad owners. So, I can be accused of being a clapper, but the litmus test is this... How does it compare to how Coventry City, or indeed Rangers, are run.

I really want us to batter them not just for 3 points but an angry Steven Pressley.

 

[Trigger Blade]

How so?

Yes, that's a first for me as well, there's usually an aberrant h in there somewhere.

"As ever going to Sheffield is more about decent pubs and beer than football. “

A fair summary of the last few years.

There's a vid somewhere of a couple of Cov fans that look like those two - who were convinced that they would brush us aside in the FA Cup that year we beat them in the quarters - they were at the front of the "Brammel" Lane stand LT and couldn't believe that the mighty Coventry lost the likes of us.

I know a fair number of Cov fans and the two tossers in that docu-snip are not very representative of the majority.
They still think they are a big club though but in truth once they lost Highfield Road (good ground that one) it was the death knell for them.
Can't see them ever regaining top flight status now the traditional fan base has been decimated.

“We are going but only because I want to go to Meadowhall before the game. “
“Be very surprised if we get anything there. “

Eh ?

I believe this is known as delurking

 

[CopenhagenBlade]

Sounds like something Darren would know about

 

[blade too long]

same as last season will do

 

[Bladesman]

Sad story about that fan passing away in his seat.

Although most their fans are sounding like we did 12 months ago.

And hopefully this tosser (soon to appear in his annual pilgrimage to The Crucible) is not representative either. 'Where you going on holiday this year?'. 'Oh, the usual. Two weeks sat inside a theatre in Sheffield.'

You've been to Coventry, right?
