S3 E35: Play-offs, "It was never off."

Sky Blues Fancast: A Coventry City Podcast

WHAT A DAY! What a Season. What a team. What a six years it's been...

Sky Blues fans everywhere feeling ALL of the nerves and ALL of the joy as Coventry City make the play-offs finishing fifth in the Championship!

Yes, you read it right and yes it happened! After all the chaos off the pitch through the season, Mark Robin's men got the point they needed away on the final day of the season to secure their place in a two leg battle against ‘Boro to make it to Wembley and the dream of promotion to the Premiership.

Members of the Sky Blues Fancast got together to watch the match and ended up as full of nerves and as stressed as all the other fans, whether they were in Middlesborough as part of the 2,500 Sky Blue Army on the road, or gathered with friends or listening to BBC CWR's coverage on the radio or however else you followed the match!

In the moments after the final whistle, Lorna Bailey got Sam, Ryan and Tash in front of some microphones to try to make words happen to bring you the latest episode of the Fancast! Throughout the previous pods you may have noticed a theme developing of the positivity of Fancaster Ryan, who has consistently insisted that we were always going to make the Play-Offs.... IT NEVER WAS OFF! But even though that's now true - it is still taking some time to get our heads around the fact that we are in the playoffs...we're in the playoffs!

On this episode of the Sky Blues Fancast you'll hear the post-match thoughts of a very happy manager, Mark Robins and from the goal scorer for Coventry City in the 1-1 draw, Gustavo Hamer. As the team were recording this episode news also came through that Ben Wilson had got the Golden Gloves and as ever there's plenty of love for city's goalkeeper.

Next up for the Sky Blues it's Middlesborough (again) first at home and then away.... they are three games away from top flight football and they go into the play-offs in form. That draw extended their unbeaten run to seven games as they look to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2001.

The Fancasters look ahead to the two legs and also dream a little of Wembley and even... the Premier League. If not now, when?!
