1920s

27th November 1920 Coventry City 1-1 Leeds United (attendance c.19000)

For their second season in Division 2 City finish one place lower (21^st) but once again escape relegation. This draw in their 16^th game against United (in their inaugural season) produced only their 11^th point having won only 3 times so far. Centre forward Bert Millard scored for the City. The following week saw Leeds thump the City 4-0 at Elland Road in the return fixture. The programme for 1920-21 was reduced in size from the news-sheet style effort of the previous season to a still large 4 page all white ‘official organ’ costing tuppence. It featured a novel (supposedly humorous) cartoon on the front page of each issue. This one highlights the junior Bantams ‘chicks’ losing 4-2 to a representative side formed from the local Coventry & North Warwickshire League as well as the latest views of the ‘Opti’ and ‘Pessi’ Mist brothers representing the two traditions of football fans that are still with us today!
