So do I. If you don't own your stadium you are ultimately screwed

An astonishing fact, Coventry have not finished in the top 6 of any division since the 1969/1970 season

Surely every Albion fan feels for Coventry fans?

Not quite true,but yes we,a large percentage do feel for them,one can forgive the younger fans a little if they do not,however that could be a slight on the older fans for not educating them,perhaps.

Why did Coventry leave Highfield Road? Can't remember the details now - did they have to sell it to pay off debts? It was a fantastic old-fashioned stadium, not many of them left

Among the first to go all seater way back in the early eighties too,before Hysel and Sheffield.......think it was like everything,a feeling of a need to improve,don't think they had to sell.....i may well be wrong.
