Championship Playoff Final: Coventry v Luton
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
Here here. Absolutely. Cnut!
I stand corrected, but don't tell the residents, the sheep will be worried
Coventry for me 90s PL vibes.
Ramsbottom whilst looks pretty in areas isn’t posh. Don’t think anywhere in Bury is these days.

I went to a pub there a few weeks ago. There were 3 cars in the car park - a BMW, a Jag and a Porsche. Ramsbottom is posh, alright.
Luton would be fascinating for a number of reasons, least alone being their ground which is probably no more than a league 1 to league 2 ground at the moment
Coventry too, you wouldn’t know whether your playing in their ground one week or out in the car park the next.
They were tourist using the East Lancs Railway
Like their former keeper, Steve Uglivic?
I'm looking at house prices and these seem really quite high for the north west.

Guessing you mean Mick Harford? Ferguson said ‘Our pitch was terrible. That’s why I tried to sign Mick Harford. To try and play football on that pitch was impossible and I thought if I got Mick, we could have just played it up there and let Mick whack the centre-halves out of the road. That was a mistake. We should have signed him.’
He was a big lump but absolute hard as nails. Him and Hughes together would have made every centre back around shitethemselves.
I'm sure a lot of Cov fans would choose Huckerby's winner against us in a 3-2 win at Highfield Road as one of their favourite memories of their last time in the Prem.
To be fair, it was a lovely goal and a great comeback.

Definitely one of them, the state of his nose! Must have broken it a fair few times coming out to collect crosses judging from how crooked it was.
Premier league doesn't get to choose, two great stories but have a slight preference for Luton
Even more bizarre is promotion to the EPL automatically makes one of these clubs one of the richest clubs in the world (close to top 20 world wide!!) with the money promoted teams get
Luton for me. For no better reason than the quirkiness of Kenilworth Road, and that orange and black kit. Never could like Coventry, for some reason.
EDIT: Oh feck. Tommy Robinson. Don't want to make him happy, do I.

That's the one! What a blast from the past.
I'd like Coventry to come up mainly for Mark Robins. Has one manager ever taken a club from League 2 to the Premier League?
Luton Town.
What a story
What a story
Eddie Howe
This is from Harford's Wikipedia
He was a key player at Luton until his transfer to Derby County in January 1990 for £450,000. Even after his transfer, Harford managed to help the Hatters in their fight against relegation, as in the last game of the season Derby County played Luton Town, with Luton needing a win to stay up. Harford managed to head the ball from outside his own six-yard box, past England goalkeeper Peter Shilton, into his own net as Luton won the game and avoided relegation. Several years later, Harford admitted that the own goal was deliberate
!!!
So Robins would be the first to do it who wasn't a smarmy cnut?!
If Ramsbottom is now at the level of Cheetham Hill and Strangeways then those cars belong to the crooks!I'm looking at house prices and these seem really quite high for the north west.

It's sad. I remember Coventry getting promoted to the old First Division.
I am indeed and if you’re a United fan living in London you will be judged by me. Let’s ignore the fact that I spent years being a Chelsea fan living in Yorkshire.Coventry because Strachan
I think you went to the wrong Stamford Bridge
Does anyone here recall Mustapha Hadji and Youssef Chippo? Those were the days...
Hope Coventry come back up to the Prem.

Poor guy this year took time out for prostate cancer. The club raised a lot of money to raise awareness about it.
Yeah but that cnut is one man. Not the entire fanbase is like that.
Don't mind either..
probably Coventry, for ex-Red Mark Robins.

Coventry for nostalgia, who else remembers big Steve Ogrizovic in goal and their Peugeot shirt sponsorship?
My memory of Coventry is the injury David Buust got at OT, I thought half our team were going to puke up in the penalty area, it was horrific
I was at that game with my brother and my dad. Was my brother's first game, he was 6 or 7. Luckily we were in the Stretford end and right near the front so we couldn't see anything.
I was also in the Stretford End further back behind the goal, I really couldn't see any detail but you could tell from the reactions it was bad, if I recall correctly they had to wash away blood on the pitch
Graham Taylor with Watford. He took Watford from the fourth division to the first division in just five seasons, finishing second in the league in their first season in the top tier and a place in the UEFA cup the following season. One of the greatest managerial feats ever.
But he will always be remembered as a turnip unfortunately
Immediately thought of Hadji when I saw this thread
