bluesbrothers Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 Just tweeted on the BBC website by Rob from Coventry: And a quick search on Google for "Leicester to Coventry distance" returns... So according to one of their own citizens, Coventry shouldn't give two flying fecks about us by default. Oh god... I'm posting shit like this? It must be preseason...

SemperEadem Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 It does not always come down to locality, look at Brighton and Palace to prove that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilo Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 We didn't care about Coventry when we were both in the Championship. Now they're in League One with seemingly little chance of them returning any time soon, they're pretty much forgotten about. Aside from their fight to keep their soulless stadium, they're far too boring even to notice. Where did they even finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lestajigs Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 Coventry is a lot nearer then 40miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 ... but how far is Freemen's Wharf from the Reeko ?? They'll be a lot closer when they are playing at Hinckley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 Liverpool and Manchester isn't exactly close. Brighton and London isn't close. But it depends on your personal opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesbrothers Posted 13 May 2013 Author Share Posted 13 May 2013 Nah, you're missing the point. This bloke from Coventry is basically saying that, unless you live 20 miles or less from another club, you can't be rivals. So that instantly nullifies their own one-sided hatred of us.

Mike the Metal Ed Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 That's just the distance between the two cities too. Their ground is so far out of Coventry I'm fairly sure their north stand is part of Hinckley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree the Cov game last season had more of derby feel to it...than Forest or Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike the Metal Ed Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 I've really never seen Cov as a big derby, a little bit of bragging rights to be had, but I don't hate them as I do Forest, or dislike them as much as I do Derby. Mid 90s mentality, I think, from when meetings with Coventry were relatively rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchandro Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 It's not pre-season, this Championship season hasn't technically ended yet To be fair I can see what the Cov bloke is saying, there's a difference between a local derby and a rivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnaldo Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 They'll be a lot closer when they are playing at Hinckley. I pray to god they don't, I live about a 5 minutes walk away from the Hinckley ground. If they do, I'll have to go down with me torch and pitchfork and drive their 14 man squad and 5 fans back across the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertine Dream Posted 13 May 2013 Share Posted 13 May 2013 Being from around Hinckley area, I have the same attitude towards Forest that you have about Cov. Mind you Cov are that pathetic I couldn't care less about them either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexikokopops Posted 14 May 2013 Share Posted 14 May 2013 Coventry is a lot nearer then 40miles Yes. About 14.2 miles nearer I'd say... And a quick search on Google for "Leicester to Coventry distance" returns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
