Trust those scummers to be interested in that scum...

I would hardly call Coventry a bad club, but he's a  horrible man who no other business would touch.

[JUAN PABLO]

Im surrounded by Cov fans Dave  and they hate us..  

They are more scum to me than blose, as I dont live in Brum no more...

[The Man With A Stick]

Coventry?  Oh yes, I remember them...

[eastie]

I second that jp- Coventry is the place I would never be seen in a villa shirt! Once I took out my wheelie bin forgetting to cover my shirt, within an hour someone had put a brick through my windscreen!

The hatred of Aston villa here is quite incredible and having lived in the north east for 3 yrs in the 80s I can tell Coventry hate villa far more than any hatred I saw between Newcastle and Sunderland- sad world we live in I'm afraid!

There's nothing more pathetic than a club really hating another who couldn't give a toss about them.

Still, the Specials are good.

Coventry?  Oh yes, I remember them...

And what about those lollies in the shape of space rockets? They were skill.

[cdbearsfan]

Why did they ever stop showing Kickstart?

[JJ-AV]

Never heard of them.

One occasion when they descended upon Villa Park (before my days of selling H&V) I was absolutely terrified on the walk back to the car after the match. A large bunch of skinhead lunatics wearing Coventry shirts were in the middle of the road just after Witton station smashing bottles, threatening all and sundry and being extremely aggressive to anyone they thought supported the Villa. There were plenty of innocent women, children and the elderly around as well as other Villa fans. The police intervened to cordon them off and I ended up trapped amongst the mob who were baying for blood. I was wearing my Villa shirt under my coat. I tried to get away and was immediately stopped by a PC with a truncheon across my chest. I undid the zip slightly to show him my shirt and credit where credit is due he raised his truncheon and moved me away from them, enabling me to get away. A bunch of thugs. Took years before I wore a shirt to a match again. Even now I am still wary. I can't stand them.

From my life's experiences, I haven't seen that Cov have enough fans to be of concern.

Granted, it only takes a small bunch of pissed up tosspots to start trouble, but I have never seen Cov as anything other than a small club belonging to a city that should not have been re-built after being bombed in WW11.

It is a complete shithole of a place.

Apologies to Villa fans who live there, but that's my experience.

PS. Warwick Uni is nice, that's in Cov....but that doesn't really count !

Bit ott that ttv! I was talking about the fans attitude to us , not the place or the rebuilbing after the war.

i lived in coventry between 1978-1983, good years to be a villa fan,
 they dont like us, but thats to be expected, its nothing on the level of Villa-Blues in my oppinion.

remember Andy Gray scoring with a diving header right in front of us one night match,then trying to leg it out down the Gosford road, always quite an adventure.

as for Coventry itself, i liked it,
 loved living there, night life was a bit rough, but so is everywhere,
dont know if its changed a lot in the last 25 years or so, but i have some very happy memories of the place

[eastie]

One of the main reasons for the hatred was that they went something like 50 yrs without beating us home or away.

Even when we were relegated we still beat them
home and away.

[TimTheVillain]

It's jealousy, no more, no less.
