    Brilliant stuff from the club once again. I wonder how they chose who to be in it; some obvious ones like Kelly, Fadz, Godden, Vik, Allen, some pleasantly surprising ones like BNC, Doyle and McNally considering they’re loans, and even Sheaf/Bidwell who seem happy to be in the background...

    I’m not getting a slightly earlier train, just want to get there and start soaking it all in! Still not sure of where we’re heading once we move closer to Wembley but will decide in the moment!

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

    I can’t actually believe it’s tomorrow. It’s 100% not sunk yet. Despite the fact I’m mega excited, it feels like it for something that’s in the future somewhere. Not that when I wake up tomorrow I’m boarding a train at 9am to watch us play at Wembley in the Championship play off.

    Hi Leona* *yes it’s a Dad joke but I make no apologies! I also didn’t want to be the only one with this stuck in my head all day. Maybe I’m just overexcited….

    Less than 48hrs to go

    I think this is one of the most unprofessional weeks of my life. I’ve generally been ok, but the tension of being on the look out for one extra ticket for my cousin this week, especially general sale period on Monday and today, has led to some awkward moments when I’ve had to ask for stuff to...

    To beer or not to beer, that is the question

    In all seriousness if we do end up having a few and you see some debauched drunkards in the corner of Wembley, keep away from us! No come over come over. Drinks will be on me. In me!

    To beer or not to beer, that is the question

    I preferred it when we were in L2 with smaller crowds tbf.

    To beer or not to beer, that is the question

    I hear that line of thought I just don’t get it. Or if football is secondary perhaps sit in a seat where disturbance to those around you is minimal. Different seats for different needs.

    So where's everyone travelling to and from?

    Agreed. The previous two occasions we’ve boarded pre Coventry to avoid the madness. On Saturday we’re on a completely different line!

    To beer or not to beer, that is the question

    Mentioned it on match threads before but there’s two blokes in front of me who are always late to their seats, leave at 30 mins, aren’t back until 10 mins after HT and more often than not then leave early. What is the point?!

    To beer or not to beer, that is the question

    My standard match day routine involves a civilised two pints pre game with lunch at the pub and that’s all. For various reasons this year I’ve had a few games where I’ve changed routine, so enjoyed the novelty of doing something different and had a few more pre game (and occasionally post)...

    Didn’t know that - cheers. Not a massive fan of cocktails myself, but one of our party is, so if he moans about ‘beer that tastes like soap’ too much I’ll give him the good news!

    Yea - we’ve done that the last two Wembley trips although it sort of blurs into one! I can see us having a few around the ground then ending up on a train back into Cov for where ever is looking like it has a good atmosphere. I remember after the CheckaTrade we ended up in the Oak (so you know...

    There’s a few pubs with a great range of craft beers around there, so we’ll see on the day. But two we’ll definitely go to are; The Spoons opposite the tube (Sir John OldCastle) - horrendous choice considering other options but we went there first trip for a quick one while waiting for the...

    Appreciate it’s been touched on within various threads, but I think it’s worthy of its own! It’ll be nice to know where other Cov fans are congregating pre (and hopefully post!) game, be it in London with tickets to Wembley, in London without tickets or somewhere else entirely. Our pre match...
