In championship play off finals in the past there has been some very impressive tifo/displays from the sides involved. Is anybody aware of any plans from the club for Coventry to do something? Would be class to have the whole West end of Wembley in giant sky blue and white stripes with the 'Rise, Together' slogan that's been used along this journey unveiled. Cost could be a fair bit but is irrelevant if we win! Would this be organised by the club or fan groups?

Probably not the first club to have this idea at Wembley but also can never remember seeing a club do one at Wembley.

I think the sea of sky blue with scarves, flags etc . Wondering if a bit like 87 all of the services down the M1 will be full of the souvenir sellers - Checkatrade was big, League 2 was massive, but this will be off the scale

Probably just me, but the phrase “Tifo” makes me cringe my head off.

Agree this could look great, all different flags and scarves new and old would look class

Rather us sing our hearts out like every week. Take our own scarves and flags rather than the likes of Man City/Chelsea etc.

I think these organised things can often look cocky, unless it’s already part of your fan culture. 26,000 plastic flags didn’t help Boro the other night. The sea of Sky Blue including lots of individual flags and scarves definitely. And a looong rendition of twist and shout. and singing our song book for 90 minutes. Much more impact I think

Sky blue everywhere, that’s enough, the noise we’ll make during the game will do more good than a few big flags which get taken down before kickoff anyway

Can just envisage the horror as a coordination malfunction see ISIS spelt out in huge letters the length of the city end.

Points taken and in fairness I agree. A sea of sky blue scarves and flags with a wall of noise is much more us, PUSB let's enjoy this

I’ve just seen that the word itself has Italian origins.

I’d assumed it was short for tin foil, given the tacky nature of it all

I'm sure we all already own a Sky Blue scarf. Just hold that up whilst blasting out Play up Sky Blues as they come out on the pitch.

It doesn’t - the Italian for team is squadra.

It’s to do with typhus fever and delirium, which is why in Italian they’re called tifosi, meaning they’re suffering from it due to the team.

Wiki disagrees and says this is a false etymology: Tifosi - Wikipedia
