Doug Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 We think we have problems. Coventry have massive debts, heading out of the championship, don,t even own their own new ground, Just as it was completed at the same time as they were relegated from the premiership the Browns Lane Jaguar factory it was to be named after, where lots of the fans worked, closed down. Had to call it the ricoh arena and can,t ever fill it now. The old packed Highfield Road ground with joint longest continuous top flight status has now been pulled down and had houses built on it. sad demise of a historic top flight club. Doug.

Nate Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Isn't Ray Ranson, who is about to take over there, a friend of Sam's? Perhaps Coventry are big enough for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 As a Villa fan, I'm used to having a strange relationship with Coventry. They absolutely fucking loathe us, but we're entirely indifferent about them. This indifference was, of course, put to one side when we relegated them at our place in 2001. Incidentally: The old packed Highfield Road ground with joint longest continuous top flight status This can't be right? What about Highbury and Goodison - Everton and Arsenal both having never played outside the top flight? Weren't Cov only in the top flight 35 odd years? What a hole that place was. Had many, many scary away trips to that place, stood in a cage which effectively blocked 70 percent of the view of the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Oxford United springs immediately to mind. It didn't even feel like being at a football match the times I went, it just felt all wrong, horrible. I went once, late 80s, and spent the entire match getting pelted with god knows what from the Cov fans, and randomly laid into by the police. The entire escorted walk back to the train station was running warfare. When we got back to Brum New Street, the Zulus were waiting for us and all hell broke out in the city centre. It was the longest continuous exposure to football hooliganism I ever experienced. I know we're not supposed to revel in the misfortune of other clubs (hey, we're all supporters), but honestly, I can't really think of a single positive thing about Coventry City.

I remember when they (Coventry) delayed a kick off, I think it was against one of the Bristol clubs and they both played for a draw and the mackems were relegated by everton ( I think). I would normally be over the moon about that but I just thought that it could have been Newcastle, cheating bastards and they got away with it.
