I'm in a strange mindset, I reckon we'll beat Luton but that would mean we're in the PL next season and I can't get my head around that. 
It blows my mind.
Luton are a tough team and they've had our number every time. I keep thinking back to that drubbing they gave us last season.
On the big stage, we've done it before and I think that will be the difference. If I can't be confident now we are in the final, when can I be?

It feels terrible but I'm going to continue my betting on whichever opponent we face as it seems to have worked so far. Started after the Stoke loss and we haven't lost since 
Come on Sky Blues, keep making me poorer

I was a season ticket holder at Highfield Road for over a decade and I've seen us play and compete against the likes of Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea home and away. But this time around, if we can get past Luton, I really do feel quite negative about our chances of survival and the subsequent drop in support and income to the club that we'll face.
But Robins has proven he can work miracles with practically nothing. And now with Doug King, hopefully he's more supportive than the previous owners regarding the sustainability of the club.

A season in the top flight could allow us to actually buy our own defenders, assuming all the TV money doesn't go to Seppala

If used smartly the enormous money boost from one season in the Prem could set the club up in the longer term.

I like to think it was my fiver on Boro last night that got us through rather than whatever Hamer didIt feels terrible but I'm going to continue my betting on whichever opponent we face as it seems to have worked so far. Started after the Stoke loss and we haven't lost since

If it was to happen, the financial aspect will set us up and put us in the most stable position I can ever remember. Plus, we will have an increased attendances even if we go down. IF I were to see the negative side, the only thing is the fans expectation. You know what this forum has been like at times, imagine now them with all the 'once a season' people who haven't been there from the bottom. All they will care about is 'what have you done for me lately'?
That's thinking wayyyy too far ahead. I'm just loving the right now, Wembley Baby!

2 draws this season which are the only games relevant to look at. It's an incredibly tough fixture but we just feel unstoppable at Wembley, the support will help see us through.I'm in a strange mindset, I reckon we'll beat Luton but that would mean we're in the PL next season and I can't get my head around that.

We’d use the money wisely and even on relegation you still get £45 million in the first season down as a parachute. It will be revolutionary to whoever wins.
Or only losing 8 games in a season, getting 80 points, and only Burnley had fewer goals scored against them.
Yeah , like those self obsessed faux Geordies say , Luton are shit

Just enjoy the experience if Coventry get there. There are plenty of teams that do not have this opportunity and probably never will. There are city fans who spent the last 15+ years waiting for this moment and never got to see it and then there are younger fans who never watched Coventry in the Premiership.
If we go up we know we're coming down...but with £160m. There'll be another time

It’s not profit is it?
Yep , we're not in debt to any great degree , maybe £1m max. That money will fund our new stadium

A clubs outgoings are it's own concern. It's £200m more than you'd have otherwise.

Don’t worry Robins, your job is safe from AI for now:
(From Google Bard)
“Coventry City should play their strongest team in the Championship playoff final against Luton Town. Both teams are evenly matched, and the Sky Blues will need to be at their best to win.
Coventry have a good mix of experience and youth, and they have a number of players who can hurt Luton on the counterattack. The Sky Blues will also be buoyed by the fact that they have never lost to Luton in their last 10 meetings.
Luton are a physical team who like to play direct football. They are also very good at set pieces, so Coventry will need to be wary of those threats.
I think Coventry will win the final 2-1. They have the better players and the better manager, and they will be determined to make it back to the Premier League after a 22-year absence.
Here is my predicted starting lineup for Coventry:
I think this lineup will give Coventry the best chance of winning the final. They have the quality and the experience to get the job done, and I am confident that they will be able to make it back to the Premier League.”

You had me at Waghorn's a good goalscorer.
Not liking this optimism, I'm fully expecting to get nothing from the game. Although I fully understand there's a chance we might win, because we're playing, I just can't get my head around being in the Premier League next season. Doesn't make any sense.

Luton fans will be feeling the same for the most part. As they say, styles make matches and next weekend it’s the brute force side against the nifty counterattacking one.
Oddly I won’t cry if we lose but probably will if we win. Mrs BSB will be consistent and cry in both cases.

Not sure where all this 'big pitch' thing is coming from. Wembley isn't and never been a big pitch compared to other stadiums, it's about the same size as the CBS and actually not that much bigger than Kenilworth Road
