According to the telegraph he's on his way to the ricoh tomorrow to face the sky blues. Stupid decision in my opinion. Isn't tomorrow a family day? Hardly appropriate having this animal on the pitch or even in the ground.

Nick · Oct 19, 2012

Is he set to play?

valiant15 · Oct 19, 2012

My apologies if this has been done before but on the eve of the game its starting to grate me a little.

Sutty · Oct 19, 2012

I doubt he'll start, Showumni, Zoko and maybe Arquin will all be ahead of him in the pecking order.

fernandopartridge · Oct 19, 2012

Come off it, the Ricoh isn't a cauldron and a bit of booing isn't something he's not used to.

valiant15 · Oct 19, 2012

It didnt say nick. If hes in the squad i imagine he'll play some part in the game. Tomorrow's a must win game to keep our form going,so i think it'll be spicy anyway.

skyblueman · Oct 19, 2012

Best we can all do is rise above it and just win the game

ricohman · Oct 19, 2012

Don't be worrying about lee Hughes is all I can say. Focus on the game not an ex player

smileycov · Oct 19, 2012

NOTTS County are giving key trio Alan Judge, Neal Bishop and Dean Leacock intensive treatment to try and get them fit to face Coventry City.
None of the three were in the Magpies squad in their 4-1 defeat to Sheffield United in second round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy at Meadow Lane on Wednesday night.
And boss Keith Curle said they were not rested – but were injured.
Judge limped off against Carlisle United last Saturday, after being kneed in the backside, Leacock also picked up a knock at Brunton Park and Bishop has a rib problem.
They have all played every game in League One so far this season, helping Notts up to fifth place after 12 games, but Curle is sweating on their fitness for the trip to the Ricoh Arena.
"I have no idea if they will be back," he said.
"There was not one player rested for the Trophy tie. Everybody that didn't play was due to injury.
"They will be getting intensive treatment morning and afternoon."

Nothing about Hughes though!

wingy · Oct 19, 2012

while they have won on their last outing ,and unbeaten in 13 away games they have lost 3 of their last 4.

LJC_CCFC · Oct 19, 2012

He only comes on for the last 20 these days as it is

valiant15 · Oct 19, 2012

He came on as a sub against sheff utd in the week i think. Hopefully it'll be pointless return for him.

ccfctommy · Oct 19, 2012

I had no idea he was 36...

Where the fuck has this family day come from?!:thinking about:

I realise it's a contentious issue for Coventry with Hughes, with the man who died being a cov fan, but I would sincerely hope that he would keep his head down if he features against you. I'd be very disappointed if he tried to wind the crowd up etc as it's a bit different playing you, to playing other teams, who boo his every touch all game (except Oldham)

I do think you have to remember however, that it is not his choice whether or not he travels, whether he starts, or whether he comes on as a sub. It's the managers decision and Hughes will do as he is asked to I'm sure.

sw88 · Oct 19, 2012

I doubt he'll play tbh. He made an appearance midweek in the JPT which I guess would rule him out.

Also tomorrow is a 'kick Racism out of football' day isnt it, rather than a family day?

Prices are the same as normal and would have though family days are discounted?

VisitingPie · Oct 19, 2012

I think the most likely scenario is he'll be on the bench and will come on for the last 20/30 mins if we're chasing a goal.

Loads of tickets have been given out to local schools.

coundonskyblue · Oct 19, 2012

Last season I went with my wolves supporting mate to a wolves v notts friendly. The wolves fans were giving him lots of stick, he started doing sarcastic applauds to the crowd.

VisitingPie · Oct 19, 2012

Think the Wolves thing comes from him being a WBA fan and player tho doesn't it? He will wind the crowd up and play with a big grin on his face and even celebrate in front of away fans if he scores when they give him the most stick. He says he sees it as no more than a bit of banter and taking it on the chin.

Playing in Cov against you is different though as it's possible members of the family he hurt could be in the crowd and I think he should keep his head down no matter how much abuse he gets.

ccfctommy · Oct 19, 2012

How many fans will you bring Visiting Pie?

i agree, bellamy got away scot free against us. not the same situation i admit but the poisonous dwarf did have a go at all cov fans. city fans wont do anything apart from a few boos and as visiting pie said hes had it everywhere

Between 1 and 1.5k I imagine. Think we took nearly 1.3k to Sheff Utd. Be disappointed if it's below a thousand.

Thats normal though isnt it? We're always giving schools, kids groups, and even Uni students tickets in bulk. They used to read the school names out at half time but havent heard them do it in a while. Usually give link it in with the shirt waving (big shirt over centre circle that is; not just your usual replica shirt )

Official figure so far is 591, but id expect a lot of you to pay on the gate

Yeah, think that was about the amount of pre sold tickets for Shef U away. Youre right, lots will pay on the day I would have thought.

With the greatest of respect, it's not a case of Hughes keeping his head down or hoping for restraint from the home fans.

This man caused death by virtue of his own choices.

This isn't a case of a touch of over-sensitivity. This man ended another's life. He didn't push in front of someone in a queue or say marginally defamatory. He killed.

You may point to the fact he's done 'his time'; and that's without question. But this city is occupied by the living relatives of those left behind by the man his actions and subsequent cowardice deprived them of. His friends. His work colleagues.

Do you or I have the right or expectation to think or hope such people should show restraint now this man is 'free'? No.

For that reason, if there's any slither of decency from the club or the player, he won't even venture near the city today.

And this coming from a fan of the club who gave Marlon King his 'second chance'. But their relative indiscretions aren't even worthy of the remotest of comparison

Baginton · Oct 20, 2012

No only did he kill, he ran off and left all three people for dead, cowardly self interest that can NEVER be forgiven.

He really took away three lives away that day, yet has his full privileged footballing life after was it three years in prison!

Life goes on normally for Hughes, while the families of the lives he ruined pick up the pieces...disgusting

I feel anger, I don't want to set eyes on the man ever again.

VisitingPie · Oct 20, 2012

In fairness MMM I never said anything about how you Cov fans should act. My comment was based on how I think HUGHES should act if he does travel. Obviously I don't know at this moment if he will or not.
