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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Seagers!!

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.

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.
