S3 E36: It's not over yet
The Fancasters gather straight after the nil-nil draw at the CBS.
While the skies were blue above the CBS Arena for the first leg of the Championship play-offs it was a nil-nil draw and the football on the pitch didn't match the atmosphere and anticipation amongst the Sky Blues fans before kick-off.
It was a cagey and nervy 90 minutes between Coventry City and Middlesbrough.
On this week's episode of the Sky Blues Fancast, Lorna Bailey and fans Ryan, Sam, Jas and the Singers' Corner drummer, Lynden. Lynden and his drum catch the attention of Max Biamou and Lynden gets to meet the fan who organised the crowd-funder to get his season ticket paid for because of the love of the Sky Blue Army.
Get the post-match thoughts of Martin Winch from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ CWR commentary team, hear from the manager Mark Robins and Brooke Norton-Cuffey talks about his dream to play at Wembley.
The team take a moment to consider that might be the last time we see Viktor Gyökeres play at the CBS - although not everyone agrees that he will be going.
Sky Blues fans know it's been a while since they played Premier League football after being relegated under Gordon Strachan in 2001. This is the closest that the team have come since their 34 year long stay ended. It's not over yet but there are nerves now amongst the Fancasters as they look ahead to Wednesday night at the Riverside. Will it go to penalties? Can we cope if it does? Will Ben Wilson take one?
Coventry fans head north with positive memories of their only previous experience of the play-offs, in 2018, when Robins' men were held at home in the first leg by Notts County, but won the second leg 4-1. The travelling Sky Blue Army will be there with their voices loud.
With either Sunderland or Luton waiting in the final, this tie could not be more in the balance when the two teams line up again on Teesside midweek.
Good luck sleeping between now and then Sky Blue Army! It’s not over yet…
