Fa Cup Draw in Coventry (2 Viewers)

[HerneBayGaz]

we should have the biggest away following in the cup. And a winnable one

Thought the draw was from the Amex Stadium before the Brighton v Palace game ?

They're testing a video referee at that game tonight. The referee(s) are actually at the premier league studios near Heathrow. They can only intervene in the case of a penalty, mistaken identity, red card and goals. I do hope this is successful test.

 

[James Smith]

Yes

Seconded!

 

[James Smith]

They weren't very impressed with the behaviour of some of our support when we went en masse a few years ago, were they? It wouldn't surprise me if they offered no more than 5 - 6000.

That would be crap.

Franchise away. Fancy us to get a result there.

Not the best draw but winnable.

 

[Calista]

Quite pleased with the draw, looking forward to a big day out with the Sky Blue Army.

And delighted with the coverage we got tonight on the TV, which probably did more to put CCFC in a good light than anything in ages. The players (current & former) acquitted themselves really well, and the manager (who still has a lot to prove) looked like a real leader. The fans in the background were in good humour, so all in all it was really great stuff.

Baggies will fill the end at anfield!

 

[westcountry_skyblue]

Think we would sell at least 10,000 if we got that many!!

 

[Captain Dart]

Good to see Sillett there.

..and his words were superb, you can see why he made a good manager from the way he talked up the club in the 2 or 3 mins he had available.

Its as if the BBC have made a policy decision to feature Coventry (not just football team) heavily up to and through the 'City of culture' year. All good.

Anyone else disappointed ?

Being on the 4th round? Nope, not me.

... with the draw (as per thread?)

As a side note, Henry Winter (the times) was on Talk Sport this afternoon

Full of praise for CCFC and said this weekend put SISU in the spotlight, which is a big help to our cause

Yes I know. We are in the fourth round, so not disappointed with whoever we drew.

The only trouble is the whole world could know about are cause but Sisu would not be bothered so nothing would change.

Possibly, but surely the extra numbers would easily make it worthwhile for them to pay for extra stewarding/police.

It didn't though, if anything it took the focus off them and united the fans for a little bit. It was all about CCFC.

I think draw is decent, outside an away tie at the top 6 or wolves or fester st Home that is. A chance for 6-10k following and a winnable game. Being in the 5th round would be an absolute dream and massive boost for this club, driving us forward to promotion and hopefully igniting some passion for the fans to return

I hope MK haven’t improved since pre season when they were dire!

What did he say? (No link in Canada)

McNulty practising his pens.

How many of these still play?

MK Dons XI: Nicholls (GK), Williams, Ebanks-L, Walsh, Lewington (C), Pawlett, McGrandles, Cisse, Ariyibi, Seagers.

 

[Nick]

The players seem to be quite tight nit, even during the draw McNulty was taking the piss out of the other players and you can see them having a laugh.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

People from the Trust and others involved invited, relationship can't be that bad

Only people they could get to go up the Ricoh

Seagers!!
What a turncoat!! B-) ;-)
Great goalie back in the day and nearly the same name of one of my favourite performers of the 70's-80's.

Yeah me, Mark and Tynan were on about it earlier. They were moaning they could only get the dregs of society up there. *


*This was a joke, just before anybody takes it literally.

 

[ccfcchris]

It wasn't the best draw but we got very sympathetic coverage by the BBC. I also thought we came across very well. Now we have the coverage it would be great if the fans get involved if only to show the huge support we can generate.
This could be our time to rise from the ashes.

Well it was mission accomplished then as Scope, Hornby and Boddy were all there!

Or was it a Sierra..

John Sillett dregs shame on you even in a joke.

 

[wingy]

80's or 90's?
Box or teardrop?
Silver or Red?

Nah, I just meant the riff raff making up the numbers in the background.

Tynan Scope's car, Hornby in the front controlling the tunes and the bass and Boddy in the back shouting at random people out of the window.
