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. Lovegrove hopes to attend Coventry's Premier League opener against Arsenal on August 21, 2026, though he may be reliant on a ticket ballot for entry.
