How far have we come? If we are in "the lower leagues" can you really, serously call anything we achieve here progress?
I believe you can. Just look at this quote from the Crewe 'Keeper about his experience at The Ricoh, after playing against Coventry
This fella is talking about apathetic, underachieving, sleeping giant Coventry City and their hurting, success starved fans. Take away the hype and the disapointment of the result and you find that this is progress.
Last season was the worst I've ever experienced as a Coventry fan - even after relegation from the Premier League. Attendances had dropped significantly, our manager rarely spoke with substaince and had but the one tactic, by the end of the season, we had no chairman and the third board in 2 years, we couldn't buy a win and our fans were filled with so much pain that they turned on eachother.
Now look at us - 4 goals away from Wembley, and not only when you bump into people, they actually want to talk Sky Blues with you, they believe we can do it!! We have an accomplished manager, fans are starting to come back and it feels like we're building. When players say to the press that they love it here, it's actually plausable.
There are still a lot of questions to be answered and still encertain times ahead, but we here at Coventry, can see some sunshine on the horizon at last!!

"It was one of the best atmospheres I’ve ever played in. When they sang their own song, it was so loud and that noise can inspire you.
“It was a good night for us but this tie is far from over. We have a tough game coming up against them again because they are a good side.
“Can we make as much noise as they did for them at our ground? We need the fans to come and get behind us and if they do then it would help us.”
