Growing up, Parmdip Dhillon was one of the only Coventry City fans in his friendship group.

Many of the people he knew supported the "bigger", more popular clubs, rather than their home team.

Part of a Punjabi family, he watched as his relatives - who also loved football - joined supporters groups in their own clubs, like Punjabi Wolves.

"I saw that group flourishing, and I thought: 'Why don't we have our own in Coventry for Coventry City?'" he said.

Now, Dhillon is one of the founding members of Punjabi Sky Blues, and has recently been recognised by Coventry City as an official supporters club.

It began as a WhatsApp group and has now grown to become an Instagram page with more than 250 followers.

"There's been a lot of discussing over the last few years to try and replicate what a lot of other clubs have got - a Punjabi fan supporters' group," he said.

"It's never come to fruition until recently. We thought: 'Let's go for it'."

Dhillon said the group was also about recognising the diversity of the city.

"Coventry is a very diverse city, there's a huge number of Punjabi Coventry City fans that go to games," he said.

"I suppose it's an opportunity for them [fans] to recognise and celebrate that diversity and Punjabi heritage, and also share our love for Coventry City as well."

He said that he wanted it to be a space for the next generation, as well as existing fans.

"I think its really important thing for them to see that you can support Coventry City as a lad growing up in Coventry."

"The football club is something to be proud of.

"You can show pride in both your Punjabi heritage and your football club, it's bringing both things together."

Dhillon added that members of Punjabi Sky Blues do not have to come from Punjabi heritage.

"We're a very inclusive community and anyone's welcome to join," he said.

"It's celebrating that diversity in the city and bringing people together through football."
