Coventry have some decent fans of course they do, but what we are saying is there's not just a few who hate villa , it is a large percentage . It would be interesting to try to get a poll of their thought s on villa on one of their forums to see just how high that percentage is.

I don't hate Coventry , I have been on freebies to the ricoh and watched them but after what I've put up with down the years I will shed no tears to see them in administration either.

I wasn't saying from my point that ALL cov fans are like that, but in general the masses are represented by the few, and the few that i've encountered haven't given me much hope for the masses.

The loudest always make the most noise!
If we go by your statement, all Villa fans are inarticulate gobshites who smash up toilets and throw flares, after all that is what I have seen in the press recently, so they must represent the masses of villa fans, no?

We aint talking about all opposition fans here only Coventry City fans!all clubs have decent supporters, and most have some right nut- buckets,
   Sorry but eastie,bigad 82 and myself have all experienced  abuse at the hands of their fans at first hand--and i find it real alarming  and quite disappointing to find that some of our fellow Villans seem to be taking us to task ,and actually defending  the Coventry fans? wait till its your car window with a brick through, or your shirt spat, on or you get a smack becoz you dared to  show your luv for the Villa on display by means of a tattoo on display in Coventry---!!see if you are still standing their corner then!!!!!

  un f*****g believable,!!!! unity or what???

They let the club down, and those opposing fans at the game may carry that prejudice with them solely because of incidents like that.  I gave my opinion and said that was how i felt, and i can imagine many others might feel the same way because of their experiences.

You find it alarming and unbelievable that some people prefer to make their own minds up based on their own experience rather than pander to prejudice? Remind me of that next time you're treated badly because you're a football supporter.

No, I'm defending the majority of Coventry fans, who, just like the majority of Villa fans, are perfectly ordinary, decent people who happen to support a football club. Most of us have had abuse at football games, it goes with the territory when you go to football games where you just know that a tiny minority are just there to act like ******.
But you go ahead and pretend that there's some sort of irreconcilable rivalry between us, it's all in your tiny mind, but you go ahead!

My boss's son plays for Coventry.

I enjoyed them getting relegated, but liquidation and the subsequent nothingness is possibly a step too far. They're fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of things, unless we get relegated and have to fight them on the beaches (aka the horrific grey streets of limbo and ultimate shitness). Coventry really is shit.

Like I say Villan, we have lived and worked here many years but I too find it sad some people are questioning our comments and exaggerations?

Believe me until you have lived here you would not believe it.

Daves C & W, I salute your endeavours.

It's scary and a bit depressing what people will think, write and say in the name of being a football fan.

So your life in Coventry is just one big overwhelming tragedy of continual abuse and beatings because you support Villa huh?
Spat on and abused by the hordes of sky blue clad vigilantes, never going out after dark in case the Jimmy Hill Brown Shirts are lurking, waiting to taunt you to within an inch of your life about how they have won the FA Cup more times since 1958 than Villa have.
Or did someone once tell you that they think Villa are shit?

I'm sad you see my views in that way dave, nothing said was exaggerated by me but your post greatly exaggerates it there- best wishes to you anyway , I was being sincere and honest.
Sadly the fact I support villa is something nowadays I keep quiet about and do not wear colours in public.

I was brought up to believe that Coventry is the epicentre of demonic filth and pain. I went there to visit a museum during a sunny afternoon, and let's just say that I and the children never mention that day, mainly due to the demonic filth and pain.
