ON THE ROAD - COVENTRY CITY

on the road yep back again another week another game of football to go and watch normality eh love it oh smithy boy there's a really annoying orangey brown dot on the camera lens at the moment hopefully we can remove that later on but for now it's going to join us for the journey so let's embrace it that journey today takes us to the midlands coventry city to be exact more in them in a bit but before we get into it did you see last week [Applause] yeah we kicked off this season fc wimbledon absolute scenes down there wasn't there let's see who stopped by to show some love it's the top comments of the week need to make that into a jingle or something any musicians out there let me know right here we got the shrew 88 rocking a premier league trophy there he's a member i think to become a member is in the description below but yep the best football series ever is back again he's also looking forward to his visit two player lane i think a lot of teams in league one are looking forward to their visit to player lane so yeah enjoy it salap you know on the road is also educational didn't you let's have a look shrewsburytown often referred to simply as town or the blues another nickname is salah a color question i've never heard that word before taking from the latin inscription on the county banner floree salipa salapia oh god meaning let's set up what what does this mean next crispy tuned in didn't he says everything is returning to normal 10k likes here we come well i think it's a long way off chris hopefully with momentum and these videos coming back we can get to those heights again you know i'll confirm the like target in a minute but the top comment of the week it was from karen parry he said on the road yet back again is a better phrase than romano's here we go fact let's settle this debate so we are sure let's go i'll just set up a quick one-hour poll i think the results speak for themselves callum's right story checks out it's the top comment of the week want to get your comment in the video make it a top one it might just happen so that was last week just quickly that video got 7 000 likes at the time recording this we could get more but we're going to up it from here 7 500 likes please if you enjoy the content you want to support the channel be sure to drop a like it really does help out and of course if you didn't check out last week's video it was a banger go and check it out love you okay thanks bye so as you can see from the side on the left you can't see that's all sorry basically the bloody a13 shot so we're gonna have to go the back that way whilst we do that let me tell you about today we're going to name coventry city who were founded in 1983. they currently find themselves in the championship where they play their football out of the coventry building society arena but let's call it the rico which has a total capacity of 32 609. so it's worth noting most people go the back way i go the back that way but it looks like a lot of people have actually gotten onto this maybe i shouldn't have given away my secrets in these videos let's be honest no one goes the back that way something's going on maybe this is what was holding up the traffic it could be clive's daughter but she is running risks she definitely didn't pass her cycling proficiency test no helmet no reflective gear heavy load on the front it's always a risk to run but she is clearly running that risk and quite frankly i fear for her safety if you want my advice let's start the top helmet get it tips are clothing maybe something a bit brighter like a yellow jersey that heavy load on the front maybe transfer to the back what is going on exactly like that take note clive's daughter take note halfway through the back that way and we this is ridiculous let me spare you the standstill traffic and uh let's just get to grize the old man are in it i moved out i'm a big boy i set sail i said goodbye to my friends and my family i had kids i've got a beer belly despite not drinking beer i've got more gray hair than i'd like but i'm still here making youtube videos with my cat backwards don't grow up that's what peter pan said at least i did like peter pan actually hook good film love it was i sad about rufio of course i was of course i was but don't let that distract me from realizing that i've gone for the whip restriction that nobody wants to go through apart from myself the car in front of the car in front of that and this one waiting on the other side for two weeks running now a green light beyonce is on our side it's full steam ahead as we arrive at the complex to pick up our co-hosts for today hello hey yeah this moment i realized that i forgot the stickers we then decided as we go past the best supermarket in the uk aurora's stopping on route let's just get everything out the way now fill up the petrol get the food go go go and here we are at the morrison's pump if audi had a pump we'd be there we'd be pumping we'll be grabbing extra value sandwiches and professor pepe for days first job fill up with dirty deals i need to change that new car needed electric maybe 50 quid yeah okay 50 pound 37 on the diesel there's a walk in charlie's getting energized with a coffee i think grab the greatest sandwich known to man come at me followed by the real stuff of course dr pepper and then to complete the look i need some mini cheddars but they don't appear to have any sprinkle sour cream and onion yeah yeah let's do it i was good enough to buy charlie's coffee as well so that all came to six pound 90. i think it's time we got going don't you the m25 the big bad boy in 25. it's raining due to traffic we're cutting it fine we're gonna be there 20 minutes before kickoff i mean that'll do but this won't it just won't do time is ticking it gets even worse when we realize the m1 is just as bad if not worse okay we're not even physically on it yet we're trying to merge on and then a beacon of light the gods have spoken national speed limit let's go let's go [Music] let's get this is the m1 have a crying out loud the pete's sake consider going building aqua drive in fact sodic let's do this let's go no cancel those plans satis navies has given us a short cut look at the m1 piling up grid locked we're going to go around and we'll join it further up hopefully where the traffic's flowing that's just as bad and then just as frustrated as us is the boy racing next to us we shared a moment though you annoyed yeah yeah should we scream eventually the shortcut worked though we merged back on to the m1 was it worth it no we're absolutely screwed well that's some good news first signs for coventry and i'm a huge fan of these this is it the slip road off let's do this they're actually heading towards coventry welsh rugby club right now i've popped in the postcode and it's taken us to a dead end i don't know where this place supposedly is but um yeah we're just gonna walk from here oh maybe it was that i don't know but we would have got there even better we didn't have to pay for anything bonus finally we arrive at the ground as we head over this bridge try and work out where the hell was sitting now eventually found the entrance to this gap it cost 25 pounds to get in there are the heavenly stairs but first we need food we're starving want to get some street food and drink maybe a pie and a water because you don't have the pepper a six pound spent charlie up to for a beer so we can't get the ground currently outside the toilets we've got the next best thing jeffy's keeping us updated after that we're eventually getting to the ground back row thank you very much i like that rose considering all the faffing around 14 minutes later i think that's quite good plus we haven't missed anything it's neil neil versus redding it's gets about disney i'm genuinely gonna buy their new stuff though it looks good but first up is pie the first chance we're witnessing today is from kov from way downtown i made a bit of a mess but update on pi it's actually really nice i wonder what charlie thinks yeah i think he likes it as did i let's talk about the elephant in the room justified shoes is definitely a thing at the rinko arena lovely to see they're getting the right eiffel i feel like i should have known this but wasps play at the rica arena too it's a ground ship rugby yeah i should have known that i really should have let's have a little look around giant screen down there lovely to see you've got the redding fans beyond the goal standoff city housing quite a few people plus subs benches are called clap your hands if you love the on the road series oh cheers mate let you joins all the way around like a tissue box box 12 13 and 14 is where the uh atmosphere is in the corner there's loads of seats there but when i try booking nothing available so we stuck up here with all the peasants yep you too mate leg room at the rica arena is economy at best this is in fact the only way to get around it gareth down in front we've got his raincoats now he's unsuccessfully wrapped up like the sandwiches they used to eat in primary school clean field for days a couple of roads ahead sandra dressed to impress football free social club at seven bit a bit of a dull start but the crowd upbeat somewhat there was another chant going on which we did our best to sort of sing along to just confirm tonight at 7 sandra will not be in the social club alone this is gavin they'll walk in army and arms they order a beer a rose and a packet of chris to share flag girth check decent real decent good girth on that no chipper is in sight the other goal they will fight till the end they called in the royals listen didn't really rate the atmosphere when we went when it comes to the away fans they're the hardcore but at the moment they're not really saying much down the other in coventry go from barcelona to burnley in two seconds oh my god should have been one could have been one score stays near nil or does it that's the penalty we said the away fans weren't making much noise now and excuse him to make a noise [Music] [Applause] no pyro no party i read in no argument about today's lineup being a human ruler look at him straight as a well ruler if i was the keeper i'd say shield on sight keeper is well off his line instead the tactic is p-rollers inside the box that's coventry really sorted out the ball boys comfy chairs into those black plastic stalls that fold away these could well be those chairs that you get a wedding before they put the covers on it i think they actually charge about a five or a couple if you like red just leave them off so 45 minutes on the clock and it's one eel to the boils just want to confirm they definitely have gone all right on the red chairs it's not just this side looks like it's that time isn't it that's that get down there get your points in because that my friends is half time of course we have to thank the grand staff out there for keeping the beautiful game look beautiful it's a lovely little surface honestly son i don't think it was a penalty yeah it was a penalty here it was update on the day it's uh it's going well so far not much said uh selfie yeah why not if i'm gonna critique anything it's the sound system here at cove it's not great sounds like it's been played underwater classic highlights now peter and love what's a player i thought every time he got it on target it went in me and charlie decided that we're still hungry another part yeah why not let's do it to this day i still struggle to get internet in stadiums now just notice i've got a ladder in my jeans it's time for a new pair surely all right now to hold out for another year anyway charlie's back uh too busy down there he said calling all shirt enthusiasts does this annoy you this shirt is asking for a number to be thrown onto it it's not terry's fault he bought the shirt it came with the box anyway good for him he's put his foot down and he said no no i won't put a printed number on the back i'm 49 years old yeah 49 he could put 49 in the box terry no we addressed the elephant in the room earlier the elephant is now in the room back in the stand brian chomping down that pie they could really do with another pie we're gonna go in a bit oh my internet's working calum sky blue zone has said we best get five star atmosphere no not right now we're gonna have to up it a bit as crunchy make their way out darting through some cones those cones actually marked out as a decent sized pitch for a toddler and or charlie i can't confirm the liner has just double checked that there's no holes in the net mate there's plenty where the game haven't kicked off charlie's gonna risk it and uh go and get another pie or two shall i do it yeah do fancy it can't rosy he's gone he could be missing goals to cure our hunger a true soldier he really is actually just took a photo of the football it says one name to reading hopefully it'll improve for the home side and i'll put that one up instead avenue charlie's just spent eight pound 20 on my card on two pies but it came to nine pound last time maybe they're cheaper in the second half i don't know back in the game reading trying to double their lead meanwhile a lovely thing down there dad taking his son to the football we couldn't quite get the selfie angle right so gavin stepped in to take a photo there you go mike an awkward thing for that here if he doesn't like it you can't really take any more photos because that would show that he doesn't like it dad just checking the phone now he's just uh scrolling through the couple of gaming too i don't think he's too impressed to be honest i'm afraid people he's gonna have to stick with what he's got maybe next time hey anyway pie number two it's actually revealed that it's not the steak and alpine disappointing it's a cheese and onion one and it's actually filled with lava from a volcano it's that hot come off the hour come off the man oh man it's gordon and alan make their way onto the field to replace wagon and decosta did someone say alan alan alan would you believe it within the minute who's it going to fall too it's one into the cove larry's just joined us and alan allen allen has scored the equalizer i just haven't got a clue where larry came from but he's definitely happy as larry and so we kick off he's one all is momentum actually a thing we'll find out 16 464 was today's attendance plenty of empty seats despite that still a decent atmosphere out there i'm gonna scoreboard a little bit more respectable now i'm gonna put this one up it's over on instagram you can follow me on there if you want update on the pie it's still too hot it reminds me of a non-league hot chocolate it's gonna be hot for weeks bit of a quiet period in the game takes us to the 80th minute it's still all to play for half chance for red in here which goes wide at the post [Applause] it would appear gavin and sandra have left early if the date hasn't worked out or they want to get down the social club even sooner to get their name to the top of the list on karaoke tonight very certainly it'll be mr bright side or wonderful one to me instagram post love your comment if you want me to put it in the video there you go and chairs have had a prediction on the uh minutes added on in this game chad has gone with four i've gone with three six six minutes plenty of time for a girl where you going that's where you're going six minutes oh well they're lost [Applause] stumbled over the leg room didn't i ended up with larry brought in the bloody pie as well didn't i cool it down i can't believe they were left oh well we saw him and that's full time [Applause] they come back the other week against nottingham forest they've done it again now against reading don't know what their expectations are this year but it's a good start to the season so i'll do my best to clean up the mess i've made city celebrate with the fans then on the road view zack and ben come say hello is that someone putting the zac's hood if i can confirm someone's put a zack hood did you just put vogue in zach's hood ben's definitely getting the blame for that but as we make our way over should we write this experience i think we should oh that's right as usual we're gonna start things off with atmosphere they're not gonna like me for this they're really not because i could see i could tell i could hear but it wasn't it wasn't it i'm going four i can't go any higher than that it wasn't any more than four next up we're talking facilities we saw player line last week we said four stars it's a brand new ground this one it's new old you know no gaps like a tissue box as i mentioned i like those stadiums felt like it did lack a little bit of personality so for me three and a half stars next up we're talking food and drink interesting one we've got a pie didn't we well the first pie i'm going to specifically talk about that the steak and alpie there's two pies in the series i remember very well maidstone and sheffield wednesday actually make it three the tottenham signature pie as well very good so they're top three this one i will remember too it was very good not quite on the level of those three but very close we won't talk about the cheese and onion pie that came later on we'll just focus on the staker now didn't see any dr pepper available uh food drink we're gonna go four and a half stars finally we're talking cost league one last week we played 24 pound championship this week we played 25 only a pound more so that's good value for that we got to see a last minute winner in the championship um four and a half stars which puts coventry city on a total of 16.5 stars they go top of the league there's only been two obviously in season six but hopefully they are happy with that score so make our way out of here the crowd in good spirits of course we want to be walking down there but it's fenced off we've got to walk all the way around now feel like a sheep crowd control we do eventually get ahead of the herd and back on track let's make our way past the car park we didn't park him and up to the motor which is still here lovely and as we leave i'm guessing this is the car park on the right we were supposed to park in well to be honest people we parked down the dead end we saved a fiber i'm quitting there you go the two and a half hour journey home has commenced i hope you enjoyed it if you did be sure to drop a like we're
