We played Coventry at home in the final game before Xmas in December 1979, for some reason I remember it better than most games we played against them.
One quirky fact was that 4 Coventry players were stuck in a hotel lift and got released by the fire brigade just in time to make the game.
That perhaps unsettled them, they were a goal down after just 11 mins when Malcolm Waldron scored, on 15 minutes it was 2-1 with a Trevor Hebberd goal and when we made it 3-0 through Phil Boyer, the group of fans who used to gather in the Archers Road corner on the West Stand terracing taunted the few Coventry fans in attendance by singing ",We wish you a Merry Xmas, We wish you a Merry Xmas and the score is 3-0".
That song increased to 4-0 on 66 minutes when Graham Baker scored.
On 71 mins Coventry missed a penalty and the song changed to We wish you a merry Xmas and the score is STILL 4-0.
It was a decent crowd being right before Xmas 19,102, although a bite less than most of the crowds that we had that season, the average being 21,356, although as i said not many Coventry fans made the trip, I think they might have had just the small corner under the scoreboard there were that few.
A good omen is that we are playing in the same kit that we are wearing this season and it is right before Xmas, I would love us to beat them again 4-0 |  |

I was at that enjoyable one in 1979, but more clearly remember the 2 home games with them in the early 80's. Both with 10 goals - a 5-5 draw and a 8-2 win, in think in consecutive seasons ? |  | | |

It might well be Saints 4 - but who knows how many Coventry will get but a good chance it will be more than 0. ! | | | |
