John Lovegrove, a dedicated Coventry City fan, has been making a round trip of over 300 miles from Dorset to attend every home game since relocating in 1998. Living on Coventry Close, Lovegrove maintains his connection to the team, having had a season ticket for over 20 years when he lived in Coventry. He has driven at least 20,700 miles in the past three years to support the Sky Blues.
