Home fans displayed a banner about the tragic helicopter crash in October 2018 that saw Srivaddhanaprabha and others killed. The banner said: “Welcome to Cov, IOL.

Always outnumbered, never outgunned,” with an image of an exploding helicopter. The offensive banner was seen on motorway bridges on the M69 and removed by police. Coventry released a statement to say that they ‘completely condemn’ the incident.
