I don’t think he’s ever reffed Cov. Historically and traditionally Nuneaton is a Villa town but there has been a lot of Cov overspill in more recent times.
I've lived in treacle town for almost 24 years now, there are a fair few Villa and even Leicester around but it is mainly a Cov supporting town
Treacle Town is a Cov insult for Nuneaton.
I’m 5th generation Nuneaton Villa. There used to be 19 buses leave Nuneaton bus station for Villa Park. Traditionally a Villa town. There was always a lot more Argus’s sold than Cov Pinks. One of the reason Cov dislike Villa so much is areas like Nuneaton support Villa!
