The whole City of Coventry is gearing up for a mass exodus to Wembley on Sunday. Well over 40,000 Sky Blues fans including many of the Association’s membership of all stripes will be heading off down Wembley way to cheer on the “Boys of ’17” in their quest to bring back the Checkatrade Trophy.
Two CCFPA coaches with Association members and guests will be leaving the car park at Coventry Rugby FC’s Butts Park Arena, Butts Rd, Coventry CV1 3GE at 10am sharp. They will be meeting other CCFPA members and guests who have made their own way to the Stadium to cheer on Mark Robins’ Sky Blue team against Oxford United.
Amongst those we know will be on these coaches or who are making their own way there and expected to be present at the Wembley game are the following Sky Blues former player members:-
Carl Baker; Roy Barry; Dave Bennett; Andy Blair; Ken Brown; Dietmar Bruck; Lee Carsley; Chris Cattlin; Paul Dyson; Dean Emerson; Stuart Giddings; Ian Goodwin; Micky Gynn; Colin Holder; Jim Holmes; Peter Hormantschuk; Craig Pead; Gary McSheffrey; Graham Rodger; Trevor Shepherd; Gordon Simms; Kirk Stephens; Bill Tedds; John Tudor, Graham Walker and Bob Wesson. Dave Bennett will also be doing a Radio 5 Live interview around 1pm before the game starts so listen in too!
They (and their guests) will be sitting with committee members, corporate members and others in a couple of blocks at Wembley covering nearly 300 ticket holders. Look out for them as we all join in to bring ‘the Ricoh Roar’ to London and back the men in Sky Blue to another famous victory. PUSB!!
