Worth noting if you're driving.

It really is a 3rd world slum round there now isnt it?

Worth noting if you're driving.

When we go to St Andrew's we never park on the street, especially night games. I'm parked in the Morrisons right by the ground for £3.

And another one.

 

[David O'Day]

You are mad to street park around St Andrews at night, just how it is round there.

 

[TomRad85]

Wanted these fuckers to go down for years, if we contribute towards them staying up I'll be fuming

It's at times like this I'm thankful I can't afford a nice car!

 

[Skyblue in Baku]

Weren't their fans pretty receptive to us when we played there?

I went to St Andrews a few times when we played 'home' games there. I thought that Blues fans and stadium workers were pleasant and welcoming to Sky Blues supporters.

If we beat Blues that makes this a very good 7 days in my eyes, 6 points from Leeds/Soton away/Blues away i would have snapped your hands off.

Got to keep it tight at back, if we dont get a clean sheet, questions got to be asked of GK and defence, they've scored 3 goals in last 8 games (we've scored 18!).

Going into a weeks break so leave it all out there!

 

[ccfcricoh]

Sold out

Still some tickets online this morning, i've just got 2 more

yea, i'd given up, went on to look at how many Wembley tickets were left and the Blues game was still on the list not saying sold out - bonus!

Service was much better than the youth they got working at the CBS

E82 Birmingham City v Coventry City preview by All Things Sky Blue

In theory this should be a fantastic Saturday for me; Birmingham game in the afternoon followed by a concert at the Institute in the evening.

However, I’ve got the marathon next weekend so I shouldn’t really be having a heavy day tomorrow, meaning my plan is to be as sensible as I can. And of course Cov could ruin it with another terrible performance and result.

Reality is, I’ll enjoy the away day too much, we’ll win and I’ll then continue the celebrations onto the concert.

Weren't their fans pretty receptive to us when we played there?

Their local businesses were welcoming, but any of our our fans walking back to New Street after the FA Cup ties at their place might have an alternative view on how receptive their fans were.

Kind of game we mess up 2-1 coventry

Generally it was fine but it was particularly moody after that first game, I'm guessing because they'd had to sit in the away end of their own ground. A lot of territory marking going on.

 

[Offhegoes]

We can't be out fought in this game, as Blues will clearly be well up for it, and will start with intensity and fight you would think
2-1 to The Sky Blues, but it won't be pretty.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Kind of game we mess up

Yep, followed by wins against United and Hull and all the ‘what might have beens’…standard

Any kind of win and no injuries would do

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Start with the strongest team, sub as needed. If you completely rest people it'll be 12 days from the last game to the semi-final. Play MvE further forward, start O'Hare again to try and play him into form, give Wright 60 mins max.

Hopefully we're 2 or 3 up by 60 mins and can ring the changes.

Collins
Lati Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Sheaf Eccles
MvE O'Hare Wright
Simms

You can say that again, well moody

Really feel like we should start Torp. Get some decent minutes into his legs, and chance to rest someone.

 

[MAFF]

Don't dislike Birmingham but it would be hilarious to see them relegated. Think they'll beat us tomorrow though. They'll be up for it.

I would start Palmer if he's fit

 

[MAFF]

Oh dear...

I'd like to see him play too. Wonder whether he'll give Tavares a run out.

The equivalent of an @Otis post, followed by an @Matt smith reply.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Oh dear...

Any idea what the connection between the clubs is? Or have a bunch of Blues fans randomly made some mates when they've been over one year?

 

[shepardo01]

Tavares on press conference - usually means a start..... Interesting....
