CANARYKING 639 Posted February 25 What’s their reward for beating you-know-who ? Away to Coventry on a Monday night ! 5th round of the F.A. Cup in midweek, bonkers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted February 25 I think it's good progression. They beat Ipswich fourth round, so get to go to a better stadium against a bigger club who have actually won something in the lifetime's of the majority of people alive today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Coventry likely to rest players as they are in play-off contention, they will consider themselves having the chance of another scalp and a progression.

Nah, no chance. You would have to be really, really, utterly **** to lose to Maidstone as a Championship side. I mean really ****. Really, really, really ****. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really, really, really ****. I remember back in the day ( 1989 to be precise) Coventry lost to a non-league die-Sutton United. Can’t remember what happened in the next round!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shuck 183 Posted February 26 They've made around £700,000 from their FA Cup run so far. But, according to their chairman at the weekend, decent but not life changing. What sort of money do you need at their level for it to be beyond 'decent'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yes that seems a little bit of a cop out putting a 5th round tie on their sports channel and the main terrestrial ITV channel, ahead of Emmerdale and Corrie.

Their FA Cup win was only 6 years after Ipswich’s UEFA Cup win and they don’t own their stadium. Can’t deny they’re a bigger club though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a whole wikipedia page dedicated to that match. We were the first to experience such a humiliation since 1989. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwich_City_F.C._0–1_Luton_Town_F.C.

UEFA Cup ? You mean the European Cup, as you will hear if you are outside the South Stand when the cattle wagons drop them off for their visit to Mecca. Led by their firm known as Year six (I think), though some of them refer to this elite club as the binner circle (no need for bollox to have dropped to join) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
