Good for them. They were a first division team when I was growing up. Loved it when they won the cup in '87. It's sad what's happened to them in the last 20 years.

I was seeing some girl from school on the day of that 1987 final. I'd never missed an FA cup final, but she wanted to meet up on that Saturday and do some shopping in Town. I ended up meeting her, did a few shops etc, although temptation got the better of me and i ended up watching the whole game outside Dixons on queen St, they had a Tele with the game on! She actually watched it with me. It worked out well, because we've been together even since that first date, 34 years, married for 24. Who said romance is dead
Must feel good for the fans .
Doesn't always work. I remember taking a Howells girl that I had started dating to NP to see us lose 0-4 to Newcastle. She dumped me very shortly afterwards.
Back to the Ricoh - saw us a few times there. Strange place. I just have memories of canal-side walks back to some Motorway junction where everyone parks. I'm sure Coventry has more to offer than that
I choked on my sandwich reading this. When her mates asked her where she went on her romantic first date she replied by saying she stood in Queen St watching the footie through Dixon's window. The age of romance certainly died on that day.
I've heard of some first dates but this is the funniest of the lot. Tuerto must have a lot going for him if she agreed to see him again let alone the relationship lasting to this day.
Great story!
Coventry winner 90+6
2 - 1 after being a goal down
Thanks Vindec. Things were simpler then, or so it seemed. We weren't alone outside of Dixons, plenty of blokes trying to catch a glimpse of the game but being ushered on by their wives We were both 15 at the time, or coming up to. I've not got much going for me, so god knows why she stayed. She's ace
