Match Day Thread Coventry City v Sunderland AFC – Play-off Semi Final 1st Leg - Friday 9th May 2025 - KO 20:00

Smug is true to his word

 

My wife has literally just asked me what pub the Coventry fans will be going in! There’s some canny ones in Darlington!

 

Thanks Bob, not always the word people want to hear but I always say what I truly believe.

 

Are u out on Tues, we are having a get together if ur free

 

I doubt it'll be the Wheatsheaf ...

... they acted up, in there before, and had to run for the hills

 

I've changed my train for an earlier and meeting people at the Museum ...

... but would definitely try to have a pint.

Gatsbys is it?

 

RLB has had too many defenders on the bench in the run-in in my view. I know it’s academic as he’s not all that bothered about them ( ) but three defenders is too many. Hopefully one of Seelt, Hjelde or Mepham gets bumped - but obviously not Mepham.

 

I’d have Hjelde nowhere near the squad but he’ll be in for his versatility.

 

Think the need for versatility is lessened a touch with Browne on the bench and O’Nien in the XI. He’s probably more match ready than Seelt though so should get the nod.

 

Hjelde absolutely needs to be on bench for flexibility for me. Could be replaced by Huggins tho who’s even more flexible

 

Sold out?

 

yes mate

 

I'll call in but not for long mate, thanks for the invite.

 

I always wondered how a club became an “away pub”

reality is though there’s plenty of pubs in town most teams supporters can use

 

why do they need a pub? just get round the town

 

I heard you like to get around the back and swing the balls in

 

And I am sure there are many thankful people on here and around the country for the help given. Me included, @Smug in Boots helped me with tickets before my move to Aus and recently helped get my brother a ticket for an away game.

 

There is to be a cordon around the hilton and the pool, I understand it's gonna be a lockdown for away fans, that's a shame cos we like meeting Cov fans who like a beer and shout a lot.
