CCFC saying it's a 7.30 kickoff? I would have thought it would be 7.45??

19:45 on iFollow

[Nick]

Hopefully just a typo then

 

[Nick]

Now corrected

 

[cc84cov]

Expecting a good performance tonight & Godden opening his account.

 

[Tommo1993]

Are you any good?

Much better and comfortable full back

 

[Nick]

Don't think we should be going into this game either thinking it's going to be an easy win.

I can see a tough 1-0 with a scrappy goal.

 

[Evo1883]

Decided to go, not normally my cup of tea early cup games but feck it

 

[shmmeee]

Is this on UK iFollow tonight?

 

[Nick]

Is this on UK iFollow tonight?

Nah, that's checkatrade.

 

[shmmeee]

Nah, that's checkatrade.

Is it not on at all then? Only the “Buy Tickets” link on the website but says iFollow will be available before the game?

To be fair I’m seeing the bird for the first time in two weeks tonight, so she probably wouldn’t be best pleased to spend it watching the Carabou Cup.

Good on you. Players need all the support they can get this season and it's probably going to be low 1,000-2,000 crowd. Every bum on a seat makes a difference!

 

[Tommo1993]

Of course it’ll be excellent to win and go through. Will any sleep be lost if we don’t?

 

[Nick]

Yeah, it's not meaningless.

 

[AStonesThrow]

Going for a 2-0 cov win tonight

 

[TewkesburySkyBlue]

I street parked near the Cricketers arms. No problems at all.

Little Green Lane.

Thanks

 

[TewkesburySkyBlue]

I was there last time, is it open tonight? Worried I might get run over by a forklift in the dark.

I will ask them

 

[sw88]

Weekend games only for me this season. Although I’d like to see us do well in all games, I’d rather us not have a cup as a distraction

 

[bawtryneal]

Going to be scary walking through the car parks after the game tonight.
It was bad enough walking through that builders yard and tree lined walk after the Southend game and it was a nice sunny afternoon.

 

[TewkesburySkyBlue]

I will ask them

I’ve phoned them but no one answered

 

[no_loyalty]

Hopefully minor changes, Hyam for Rose, Pask (if fit) for Dabo, Eccles for Shipley, and Godden for Baka.

City 2 Exeter 1

Want to borrow my rape alarm?

It shouldn't be pitch black tonight but it will be in the winter, I can't remember there being street lights down there either.

May just try street parking tonight though!

Yes I agree Nick don’t fancy parking in Birmingham Wheels when it is pitch black . It is Peaky Blinders territory after all !!

Happy to see Eccles replace Shipley as well decent energy but bar that doesn’t really offer much passing & finishing is average

 

[Nick]

Get your flat peaked hat ready then

You wouldn't think they would open at night because of health and safety, surely?

If its going spare then might be a good idea or else I will have to get somebody to hold my hand.

Think that was over 60 years ago More like Pakistani Blinders these days !

As Arthur Shelby would say " By the order of the Peaky Fucking Blinders"

Pretty sure you would get more held for the right price round there.

 

[spwaverley4916]

- took a while but got just got this reply from the train company about trains to and from Bordesley - this of course covers the first game - just wondered if people were aware of the train service?

Thank you for your email.

I can tell you that for Coventry’s first ‘home’ game of the season we plan to call eight trains from Birmingham additionally at Bordesley before the match and four afterwardstowards Birmingham

We will review the plan as the season progresses and look to make any changes if necessary.

First game of the season tonight gonna park on the streets

Any thoughts??

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

Seeing as Wilson, Pask, Hyam, McCallum & Eccles played no part in the under 23 game yesterday, they must all have a good chance of playing tonight.

Possibly even Burroughs too!

I don't want us to put out too much of a weaker team. I want us to win.

When we messed about last year it went against us (forest green and Walsall) and then a bad run started.
