Highfield Road?

My new uni house in september is just 100 yards from where this used to stand, would've been able to see it at the end of my road. Feels really nice, reminds me of being back at Maine road in a way.
The success and the way football is now is obviously a joy to see for the club, but I can't help but feel more associated with it the way it was back then, and not just City, football in general.
 
The 'away' pub right outside the ground was called the Mercers Arms

On our last visit to Highfield Road it had been knocked down

I'm not even old enough to have seen the days of terracing, but I still feel more associated with the way it was. Even growing up watching absolute shit in blue shirts, I felt more associated with it, I pray football goes back to the way it was (to some extent). I've spoken to many Coventry city fans since I've been at uni, my halls were round the corner from the pub there old firm drinks in, and I feel really sorry for them, losing out on their beloved highfield road, and falling down the leagues in a new and unfamiliar stadium. Atleast we were still at our spiritual home when it happened to us. They say moving from highfield road was the worst thing that happened to the club.

Being stood in the Kippax felt special. Sitting down in the Kippax felt fake. I can't put my finger on why that was. The away matches I went to back in the day were all standing, apart from Everton who had shitty wooden seats in a shitty stand which felt about as safe as a creche run by Messrs Saville and Glitter. That was the first time i'd experienced sitting at a match at all, as it was obviously still standing at the Kippax. Fucking hated sitting down and I pity those who don't know anything other than seated stadiums as it really isn't the same.

Here's another pic from Bournemouth away, late 80's


PMSL at this one. The way the inflatables got more and more random. 'i might not have a banana but I do have a rubber dinghy.'


Bournemouth is by the sea so quite logical really...not gonna go sailing on a fuckin banana is he?
