Coventry could have had loads of goals in the 2nd half today, but their finishing let them down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I'm all for fairytales but surely we're rooting for Keys' lads? Kenilworth Road can't be a Premier League ground, man.

ElDiablo Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 For some reason I've always liked Coventry & kept an eye out for their fixtures. Both clubs have had a rough time of it recently so it'll be nice to see one of them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I don't know who I want. That Luton strip from the mid 70s was a classic. Coventry was my first league game (74/75). Decisions decisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, it still feels a little anti-climatic/ low key Reading v Bolton vibes from 95. Don't know if Reading ever had been in the topflight, 70s for Bolton, both meant an extra year of topflight terracing. Both just seemed out of place in the new all-seated big time feeling PL with the foreign stars coming in now. Cracking game too. Like then will be a total neutral.

Always appreciated the healthy ticket allocation and the speed with which you could get back from there. In the 80s, it was often seen as the "one game you could miss" but I went to most and those against Coventry were actually pretty good games. I recall a couple of 2-2s, a stonking 3-2 win when my old mate Kenny got the winner and even a 0-3 a week after winning at Anfield Not to mention the infamous 4-0 Kenny sitting on the ball game!

Paullow Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Chuffed for Coventry, really hope they make it back to the big time. Sunderland vs Middlesbrough again next season, not played them since early 2016 and 2010 respectively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Used to sit next to a bunch of lads (Ronnie) that came up from Coventry through most of the Keegan era. Dont know what difference that makes but happy to see them having some joy nevertheless. My first PL away game was at Coventry, again of no relevance. Went there in a car previously owned by our director Freddie Fletcher. No other chance to slip that anecdote it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I took my boy to Coventry vs Stoke this season and they were abysmal! Stoke beat them 4-0 and it could have easily been more than that so it’s hard to believe they are one game away from getting in to the Premier League. A good bunch of fans and atmosphere from that experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Blue Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I enjoyed the 4-3 at SJP on the last day of the season in 1968 but I enjoyed tonight even more. Pity I don't much like kebabs but I'll find something else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
