Fans at Coventry

Post by Berkshire Blue »

Just seen that we have over 1700 going up to Coventry tomorrow.

For a midweek game that seems quite impressive to me.

I often wonder how many will return directly after the match, what time they will get home and how many go to work the next day.

I'm going with two of my sons. We should be back home by around midnight, and I will be at work by 7.30am on Wednesday :thumb

That is very impressive, and made all the more so by the fact that we played Rochdale away only 3 days ago.

How on earth do you do that? I get home at midnight travelling by train from the New Forest to an home evening game.

Very impressive!

Cheers

I lived in Coventry from 1969 to 1971. I went to watch them a few times. It was like going to a cricket match. My pals told me that locals were heavily outnumbered by people like me who were just passing through during their careers. I hope its changed.

Having posted the other week saying I don’t get to games I will be there tonight for the first time in an age. It’s my birthday and I live 8 miles from Coventry so it’s an evening at the Ricoh with my brothers.
