DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted June 23, 2005 What are everyone''s views on this? IMO we should NOT swap our game with Coventry. For a variety of reasons: It would mean 4 away games in late November/early December. This could be detrimental to our season. If we play at a neutral venue it will be just as hard for Coventry as for us. If they can''t build a stadium on time it''s their problem, not ours Why should we be inconvenienced for their cock up? We hardly ever win at Coventry We might win at Villa Park though! Having said all this though, you just know we''ll let them. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 648 Posted June 23, 2005 No for exactly the reasons you state, i''d rather get this fixture out of the way, early on and at a neutral venue, as traditionally Coventry away has been a bit of a dodgy one for us in the past - apart from in our promotion season of course, which is the only time I can ever remember us beating them there!!

allways travelling 0 Posted June 23, 2005 Could work out to be good if we have the first three at home win these and it will be very good for morale and confidence.get us back in the winning habit of when we were last in this division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martin Bryant 0 Posted June 23, 2005 I think its great; get the season off to a running start with 3 home games and hopefully 9 points which will do wonders for moral... and when the 4 away games come along, hopefully the hard work will be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Aries 0 Posted June 23, 2005 Definitely not. It would be great to be given Villa Park as the neutral venue. We would then have the potential for a massive away following, if enough City fans were interested. Up to 10,000 seats could be available for City fans at Villa Park, I would assume - depending on the rules of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Longy 0 Posted June 23, 2005 Guys, if we want to win this season then we dont want to worry about playing a team home or away. We should be confident that we can do the business against whoever we play, where ever we play.Longy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlies dad 0 Posted June 23, 2005 Makes no difference. we still have to play everyone home and away. By November Coventry will be 16th in the league and going nowhere. wouldnt fancy opening the new ground in front of the only sell out of the season though! 4 home games in a fortnight including inter milan. sunshine soccer. lovely. Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted June 23, 2005 Look at it this way:1) We win against conventry and crew, which gets us going to beat Palace aswell, and we are already top of the league and on our way already.2) we play away, lose to coventry. This makes the team abit uneasy and they either draw or just scrap a win and then we lose to palace as a result of it.I think i choose numero one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
