S3 E34: Thirty thousand dreamers
Lorna and the Fancasters get together straight after the home win against Birmingham City
What a day at the CBS Arena! A record high crowd for a league fixture watched the Sky Blues take the three points against Birmingham City to keep Coventry City's Play Off dream alive. If they beat Middlesbrough in their final game, then a top-six finish is theirs.
This week's episode of the Sky Blues Fancast was recorded straight after the match and the player's walkabout around the pitch. Lorna Bailey headed to the Jimmy Hill statue to meet up with Singer's Corner Drummer, Lynden and they were joined by Ryan, Dan, Tash and Sam to chat about the match, the atmosphere and what might be... they also do a bit of celebrity spotting with Tom Grennan and Jude Bellingham making some slightly tenuous appearances on the Sky Blues Fancast!
The team chat about Cov Kid Josh Eccles finally getting his first senior goal from the edge of the box to put Coventry ahead 4 minutes in...and what was the discussion on the pitch about who should take that penalty? In the end it was Viktor Gyokeres who doubled the lead shortly before the break. No one wants to say it, but could that have been the last goal we see him score in Coventry?
In this episode you'll hear the post-match thoughts of our very own Martin Winch, the manager, Mark Robins and Jake Bidwell.
The Fancasters also take a look at who would get their Player of the Season and Goal of the Season awards ahead of the club's actual awards night.
It's a 20th clean sheet for the Sky Blue's defence and on 69 points in the table this is now the best Championship Campaign ever for the club and as 'Twist and Shout' got the whole CBS arena going, everyone agrees that the connection right now between players, club and fans is something very special. The Fancast talk about how that's come across post-match with the walk about after the final whistle. New owner, Doug King was really get into it! It's very special and we all know it.
30,175 at the Coventry Building Society Arena for the last home league game of the season. If the dream continues then it will be Lynden and his drum leading a much larger army down Wembley Way.
