Pre Match Coventry City (away)

[bocadillo]

All of the seats at the new Brighton ground are padded. All of them.

I think they were at MKD too.

 

[Nottingham Fox]

I'll be there on Saturday on row VV. Absolutely cannot wait! Going the cricket later in the afternoon as well to see Leicestershire v Kent at Grace Road.

So not only am I on the same row as you at the footy, i'm also going cricket afterwards. I'll say hello, and you can get the beers in :icon_wink

I am sure there is a joke in there somewhere.:icon_wink

Are you two going to keep doing this?

Think your self lucky we didn't sign that mesalileaeeaala bloke!

We will arrive at the Ricoh cheered on by the best part of 7,000 fans. The players will be greeted like our new heroes. We will be fully prepared and hungry to show what we're about and what we intend to do this season. We will be made to feel like world beaters by Sven. We will be ready to battle and ready to play good football.

Cov won't know what's hit them. We'll put our first three points on the board and scare the living bejebus out of the rest of the Championship.

Ooh I HATE being the favourites. Not used to it, doesn't sit well with me. It could all go horribly wrong. Leicester City Fan = Pessimist

the seats may be padded at Brughton but the season hasnt started yet and the pitch looks crap

I dreamt last night that we won 5 - 0, and on that basis I am content to invest my hard earned cash on that outcome

The team selection I think I'll leave to Sven - although in my dream Joleon Lescott scored an absolute beauty, so if he signs in time then he has to play

I also dreamt about this game last night. We won 1-0 but were far from convincing.

FWIW, Leicestershire beat Kent in the t20 later in the day.

I was a bit gutted when I woke up.

Every time I have been to Cov away the atmosphere from the Leicester fans has been totally shit. The more we take the worse it becomes I think.

That's a cracking dream, a full day out.

Has anybody else been more excited about an opening day than this?

When you're smiling, When you're smiling! The whooooooole world smiles with you!

Yep.

At the moment Jersy Budd is the only downside to being a Leicester fan.

Not for some time. Shame I have to wait till Sunday for the off. And aunty's showing it live.

It's a long week - and getting longer

Speak plainly or not at all!

 

[M17TT C]

Gonna be a score draw at best I think with a late own goal saving our bacon.

Too many people seem convinced we're promoted already when we've not even kicked a ball yet and money doesn't always bring success!!

There was no hidden meaning. The week is dragging - and dragging more each day. It was that plain.

It seems to me that the "too many people" that you refer to are all fans of other clubs; they all seem to think that we only need to turn up. Most City fans I know are shitting themselves with concern that all the outlay may have been for nothing and that we will struggle to achieve the rich rewards we have been promised.

 

[fitz]

There should be no fear for this game. Cov were shit last year and they've gone to a lot of effort to ensure they're even worse this season.

Well I was basing my opinion on the replies to this thread and other posts on this board. I wouldn't go as far as saying people are 'shitting themselves' though, just aware that it isn't so simply as spending the most money in the league and are quite aware of the implications of this summers spending if we do not go up this year.
