SHORT AND CURLY Official site shows that there were 1,801 away fans at Coventry today.


Of which approximately 1750 sat on their hands all game. The most noise they made was to berate the officials for letting Coventry take a corner with the ball just outside the line.

Windowlickers.

Perhaps it had a sign at the back saying "lift here"

Good point. Perhaps moo is getting confused between windowlickers and shirtlifters...?

It was very quiet where I was sitting apart from one guy shouting "You're useless Harper!" just before he got subbed. Felt a bit embarassed to be there tbh, I could hear myself singing.

It's becoming pretty easy to judge which away games are going to be full of people who sit down in silence for 90 minutes. And I just knew Coventry would be one of them.

Fair enough for those who like that sort of thing, but it isn't how I want to watch football. I much prefer standing in a tin shed at Selhurst, Ashton Gate or Ninian Park.

How do you rate the Blackpool, Derby or Norwich games then?

Blackpool should be ok, though the temporary stand along the whole side will make it difficult to congregate together. It was cracking fun last time we were there.

The others - no fanks.

Norwich on a Monday night - interesting now the club is trying to drum up the extra support. Dependant on what we are fighting for in the league this could be either interesting or a damp squib.

Started off sitting next to Mrs Bikey (and Sprog), Mrs Marek (I think, certainly Eastern European)and another more rotund female with more sprogs.
I decided to move because I felt I couldn't swear, moan, etc.

Moved for the second half further back to find myself in earshot of the biggest Clinton Morrison hater in the world.
If that's anyone on here "whats your beef with him"?

Plus points. Good parking and good journey down the M40 and home in East Berks by 6.40PM.

I just can't understand why more people weren't tempted to move to the back of the stands. There was loads of space there, you can at least have a sing song while enduring a crushingly dull game and you can help create a bit of an atmosphere. As was said previously there was at leas 1500 people who were content to come all that way just to sit on their hands and not even show some support. Embarrassing.

There were plenty of faces i've never seen before who clearly just came for a jolly. It was zilch atmosphere at the lower half of the stand. I moved second half.

and was there really that much support at the Ricoh. Perhaps stay away support was included.

Because the steward told us to sit in our allocated seats when we went in and I didn't want to find out that any empty seat I might have found actually belonged to someone who was late back from their beer/fag/toilet break. But yes I was tempted.
