    What a lovely thread. Was a massive fan of Brian Borrows - so elegant, rarely made a mistake and was the consummate professional when handing out trophies at our end-of-season award ceremony when I was about 14. Ndlovu, Huckerby and Keane for getting you off your seat, though.

    BNC and Doyle playing for England tonight

    Not sure if most people have had their fill of football after the weekend but Brooke Norton-Cuffy (starting) and Callum Doyle (on the bench) are in the England squad for tonight's FIFA U20 World Cup R16 game v Italy in Argentina. The match is live on FIFA+, kicking off at 10pm UK time...

    2023-24 New Kit Thread

    Saw a few fans wearing the blue Talbot kit on Saturday, and a friend with us had the Glazepta one - both looked great. Just bought the red Talbot one on eBay (replica for 30 quid) as no blue ones left. Also think the club could cash in on the bucket hats as the replicas did really well. Make it...

    Transfer Rumour Scott Twine

    Burnley are likely one of the clubs interested in Vik so both McNally and Twine could be used as bait as part of that deal should it come to fruition.

    Breaking News!

    I was watching Bidwell at the end and he could hardly walk. A bit like Barry Bannan yesterday, who was subbed with two mins of ET to go despite being a top penalty taker.

    Well done everyone

    Friend of mine was in 531 and he said two blokes were going for it at the end of extra time which spoiled the moment. We were in 233 and it was great - was disappointed to hear some were being dickheads in the stadium because I thought the behaviour was exemplary. Both Boro and Luton said how...

    Just got home. Sad indictment of our train network that it’s easier to get to Geneva from London than it is to get a train to Coventry. Fantastic build-up and made me so proud to see that sea of sky blue but totally flattened by the defeat.

    Breaking News!

    I thought Bidwell would have taken one but I was watching him after Luton scored the late goal which was disallowed and he could hardly walk, so that might have been a factor. Might not be either, of course.

    Atmosphere at Today’s Game

    We were in 233 and tried to get a few songs going. Some caught in our area but didn’t travel. Decent up there pre-match.

    They didn’t need to make it a 4.45ko with no other matches on as always potential to go all the way. Was definitely worth staying over - mate stayed at the IBIS at Wembley and it meant we could have drinks there before the game. We got the train back to Marylebone and walked straight on to it...

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    Just on the train from Marylebone. Decent round there - mix of both fans and all friendly.

    So im sat with a rum...

    When I looked at this last night after a few beers I thought it said ‘So I’m sat with a nun …’

    Another option is to drive to somewhere like Beaconsfield - easy run down the M40 and then it’s 20 minutes on the train. Safe journey.

    City Pubs at Wembley

    It was pretty horrible outside the ground. Took the family to the WEURO final, including BoxPark pre-match, and it was a lovely experience; wouldn’t have wanted them at the men’s final. Unfortunately morons spoil it for everyone as the earlier EURO matches were brilliant on Wembley Way...

    Last Away Game In The Prem

    Seem to remember being on the side rather than behind the goal. Was definitely dodgy everywhere but my overriding memory is being massively pissed off that Man Utd rolled over to let Derby win.

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    Been saving this thread all week and just read it all on my way to the airport. Don’t agree that all the neutrals want Luton to win - feel it’s even with a romantic ending no matter who wins. Can’t wait to see that sea of Sky Blue tomorrow and hear those first songs. Wasn’t nervous before but...

    Thread for those looking for final tickets

    I sent a DM earlier in the week too but am sorted now. Good luck, SB Kent.
