I see we will be wearing the retro cup final kit against spurs

Good decision I suggested this a few weeks back wonder if someone from the club read it?!

[kg82]

Are we actually?! That is quality! Happy with that!

 

[sw88]

Really? Where've you heard this? Good decision if true

 

[PVA]

Great decision!

On the CCFC website.

Nothing says 'living in the past and have achieved fck all since' than dragging out this shirt purely because we are playing Spurs.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

...I wonder if Spurs will join in the fun with half of them removing their shirt sponsorship from the front.....

 

[Sub]

rather us play in the 'brazil kit' we seem to do better wearing that !!!!

BOOOO ! It's a nice touch, nothing more.

It was to celebrate the 25th anniversary, which was fine. it's now the 26th. Plus, we don't even have matching shorts and socks with it, which makes the whole thing look like a pub kit.

its a nice touch i agree, will look great

lets hope we dont get smashed though

as opposed to living on past glories it could be seen as being inspired by past glories in an attempt to get them back.

Tinpot as fuck. We played Spurs twice a year in the league for 14 years after winning the cup. Did we "commemorate" it then?

 

[DH - Sky Blue]

Where've you heard this?

On the CCFC website.

God, it's almost as if they don't want the fans to find out.

Don't moan about living in the past when you constantly bring up our top division days.

 

[covcity4life]

well said kg

website says robins wants the kit to be used

i hope he shows the players a video of that win too, maybe inspire an upset

 

[Otis]

We are only wearing the stripes so it doesn't clash with the seats!

 

[Sky Blue Sheepy]

Seems like a bit of fun and it's hardly like we got to see more of it last season

 

[mattylad]

Yeah I am sure Clive Allen wont be getting his Spurs lads even more fired up when he hears this news :facepalm:

 

[pusbccfc]

The actual remake is a very nice kit from the stands.
I think we should wear it for years to come in the FA Cup.

 

[EastLancsCov]

I don't know which is the most embarrassing. Harping on about our win 26 years later or grown blokes on a football forum w@nking themselves into a frenzy over what shirt the team will wear.

 

[torchomatic]

Cup Final kit or not. Stripes are rubbish. Always have been, always will be. We're sky blue.

What about the mismatching shorts and socks?! No, it looks wank.

Get a grip! (No pun intended and probably not the best choice of words ).

Its all to add to the excitement

 

[brinner]

i mite even dig my original 86-87 shirt out for the occasion, b a bit of a tight fit mind these days!!

tho what if the ref does not agree and we have to play in spurs away kit due to a colour clash?!? happend to them at highfield road in the cup winning season

This isn't living in the past though is it, it just reeks of small time, almost as bad as the half and half scarfs when we played Chelsea, Celtic and fucking Blackburn. Blackburn for Christ sake. We're Coventry City not fucking Barnet or the like.

 

[kg82]

The same Coventry City that are in league 1? This sort of thing is celebrating the occasion, not the team we're playing.

 

[EastLancsCov]

Don't ruin the occasion for the arse kissers that are grateful to be playing Spurs. So very sad. Some people have no pride left.

 

[kg82]

I don't think you know what arse kissers means.

 

[Changeyourface]

What occassion? It's the third round of the FA Cup and it's 26 years since we won it. I fail to see the occassion, we played Spurs at HR in the cup about 8 years back and I can't remember anybody feeling the need to wear a commemerative shirt because it was 18 years or whatever since we'd won the cup. Or because it's not about the team we're playing are you suggesting we wear a retro shirt every year in the 3rd round?

 

[kg82]

Not at all. I don't think its anything to moan or complain about either. Does it really matter that much? Is it going to ruin your day/week/month/life?

 

[ccfc92]

I see both sides of the argument. It is a brilliant shirt, but we will get taunted if we lose in it :/

Celebrating the occassion - ffs.

 

[kg82]

Moaning moaning moaning - ffs

It's ruined my Christmas, returned all my gifts and took the decorations down. Not in the festive mood anymore.

 

[EastLancsCov]

It matters enough to some for them to be fawning all over Spurs and celebrating the occasion like it should mean something.
