ladysaint Posted 24 April, 2012 Share Posted 24 April, 2012 Historically last games of the season in the past old first divisions/premiership would have seen Saints and Coventry in the bottom 6. Have any of our results kept Coventry up or sent them down. I am sure i remember playing Spurs at WHL many a season ago and we drew sending Coventry down, is this correct.

Saint Charlie Posted 24 April, 2012 Share Posted 24 April, 2012 We owe them, they took SISU so we didn't have too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 24 April, 2012 Share Posted 24 April, 2012 I'm sure it'll be at the back of all their players minds before kick off on Saturday that they should roll over for us because in 1993 or something we beat Luton and it meant they stayed up or something.

Certainly cannot remember that. They only got relegated in 2001 when we finished 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender Posted 24 April, 2012 Share Posted 24 April, 2012 I've always seen Coventry as a kind of sister club. Decades in the prem, year on year avoiding the drop and both wearing the same kit between 1987 & 1989 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Saint Posted 25 April, 2012 Share Posted 25 April, 2012 I've mentioned this before on this forum. In one episode of Channon and Ball, Mick Channon told how Saints kept Coventry in the top flight one year as half the Saints players were "On their side" in the last game of the season. I was horrified when i heard that, but I'll happily call in that favour now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan The Flames Posted 26 April, 2012 Share Posted 26 April, 2012 I'm sure it'll be at the back of all their players minds before kick off on Saturday that they should roll over for us because in 1993 or something we beat Luton and it meant they stayed up or something. The OP only wondered whether we had saved them in the past and not saying that their players should be obligated to do us a favour, HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stev2001 Posted 26 April, 2012 Share Posted 26 April, 2012 We owe them, they took SISU so we didn't have too! Good one, we owe them loads for that but seeing as any result for them doesn't matter we'll pay them back another time. We have given them a televised and exciting game, does that count?
