wayne davis
it was a fantastic day, and a great game of football, but my best day was in nov 97 when i was married to fiona at the ground.and on that day city lost to derby 3.1 away.

Kayla_City Till I Die
i think that the match on the 30th of april 2005 was phenomenol it was brilliant the whole team did us proud that day im just sad to see it over i realli hope tht city have a gr8 1st season in the ricoh arena i will be there of course in the evening telegraph stand i jus wish we could of spent longer at Highfield Road it feels like home to me, but the ricoh arena feels like nothing to me yet im sure it will someday but Highfield Road will always, always be my one and truely home in my heart and nothing will every change that. some people say at my school im not meant to like football because im a girl only lads are true city fans and i always say to them well if you dont think im a true city fan then cut my wrists and find out for yourselfs! love Doyle n Mcsheffery n Morrell n Hughesy and Dele of course anyway...Highfield road and city until I DIE!! luv Citys Top Fan Kayla xxxxxx *PLAY UP SKY BLUES*

i live in derby/nottingham and all of my freinds and neighburs suport derby, they were always laughing at our position in the table and the always sed wit till the last game and winnin infact not just winin thrashing derby was aperfect excuse to get my own back

josh
it woz wicked!

liam horsley
The start to the new season hasnt been the best with 2 draws and a four nil loss but we are yet to get underway at the richo but for one last time GOODBYE HIGHFIELD ROAD.

reece palmer
the games was proberly the best game i have seen this season. the team played like they should do week in week out. and it was the best way 2 give highfield rd the best send off it could have had. i dont think it will b the same with out the west terrace soo cmon u sky blues for next season

michael carroll
the sky blues will never fail to put a smile on our faces! after a very poor season they came up with the goods on a day that meant so so much to so many people! we sat last season and watch awful games like the goaless draw with rotherham,but a thrashing of a local team in our swansong to our historic groungd makes that whole season seem worthwhile!sky blue is and always will be in my blood! now make sure we get some support behind the lads and make the richo arena a fortress that teams dont want to visit! CITY TILL I DIE!!

liam horsley
It was a memorable day and i will never forget it.It brought back some great memories from the premiership hopefully we can look forward to a good future at the richo arena

martin woolley
A brilliant and very emotional day.Nearly as good as '87.Jimmy is God

Balwant Singh
I have nothing but contempt for the board at CCFC, but the last game ever at Highfield Rd has to be up there with the 87 Cup Final, a unforgettable day that makes all the pain and misery of suuporting CCFC, worth it.

Big Vic
Thank you everyone for giving me, and thousands of other fans, one of the best days as a Coventry City fan. What a send off for one of the best stadiums in the football league and seeing Snoz and Jimmy Hill singing the Sky Blue song will stay with me forever. Our team has come under much criticism recently for making the wrong decisions (a new badge etc) well this time, you got it all spot on. We love you City.

dennis cleary
fantastic day so many memories to treasure.thank to the board ,the players , the fantastic sky blue army but most of all thank you highfield road forever in my heart. the new stadium has alot to live upto but i am sure in time it too will find a place in our hearts.:highfield road never again never forgotten :

Ken Tatham
Listened on the radio, it took you back to when they won the cup in 1987. It brought tears to your eyes. All the best at the new ground.

stacy louise

Bryan
Brilliant lads all the best for next season in Richo Arena.Micky Adams your a hero sky blue through and through,Play Up Sky Blues!!!!

Jennifer
Fantastic atmosphere, fitting for the last day at the ground. The team did us proud!

Kris Bedder
It was my most memorable day at Highfield Road and it could not have been better. I felt really sad when i walked out the stadium for the very last time and thought i will never see that again. The result was great, the atmosphere the best ever and why it can't be like that every week i don't know, the pitch invasion was good and so was singing with Jimmy Hill and the speeches were very touching so goodbye to my greatest home and goodbye to my best ever footballing memories and lets make sure that in this new era we do as The Great Jimmy Hill says and "LETS ALL SING TOGETHER".

Martin
i feel so proud being there. The day was superb,when i got there around five past 1, outside the ground was full of people waiting to get in ,i've never seen it like that before. Also Jimmy Hill's Singing will live with me forever,that was a truly magical moment. And also Whingy's Goal,What a goal to leave HR with. I just like to Praise MA,the players and the staff at HR who have left a superb day to live with me forever.

adam
best game ever
