Can we stop slagging Cov off they are going through a lot of shit. We are literally the only club that's played them this season singing pro SISY chants and I don't understand why. Its really embarrassing we sound like children.
My mates a Cov fan they were really shocked how we could chant it tbh
It looks to me that;
1. You weren't at the game
2. Your understanding of the incident is taken, purely, from your Cov fan mate.
Did your mate go to the game?
Or is his opinion based on what his other mates have stated and what he has read on their fan sites?
I was there.
It was the most surreal football match I have attended.
It was a very unpleasant experience since it spoiled the game as a spectacle and an experience.
I didn't chant anything pro SISU.
I understand that there were some pro SISU chants earlier but I didn't hear them until much later after the main pitch invasion.
I can understand, in a football fan context, why the barb was given to their fans who invaded the pitch.
It was all about the Coventry fans during the match - happy for them to protest outside the game - but their protest was designed to disrupt our players.
Coventry are not the only club to fall on hard times as their league position deteriorates.
They'd moved from Highfield Road before SISU took over (why move? They couldn't fill that city centre stadium, anyway).
Coventry have traditionally been good at growing their academy talent.
Every club sells their young, up and coming academy stars if they are not in the Prem (we do).
Coventry fans abandoned their club in droves yet expected the owners to spend shit loads on building a team for them (why the devine right?).
SISU stated that they'd invest in line with income.
Coventry's income has declined as their on pitch fortunes have declined.
Therefore, less and less investment is being made.
That's the same as every other fucking club in the league!
They have to accept that their peers are Rochdale, Chesterfield, Northampton, Bury etc. That's what they don't seem to understand.
Those clubs cannot spend shitloads on players - Rochdale are constantly having to rebuild as their best players go on a Bosman at the end of a season.
Next season Cov's peers will be Wycombe, Crewe, Blackpool, Notts County & Grimsby.
Cov bigger than Blackpool?
Don't think so.
Self righteousness biting them in the Arse.
I have no sympathy for them at all.
