I posted before the first game saying may the best team win and wishing you luck.
    Good luck in the final, I for one think our task will be easier next season without you in the same league. Yes you were the better team over the two legs, but consider your last season against ours. In the time I've followed Notts we have had four seasons in the top tier and 13 in the second tier. In that time Coventry have enjoyed 14 seasons in the second tier and 34 seasons in the first tier and just two seasons in the basement division.

    So forgive me if I don't buy into the poor Coventry, they've had it rough ethos that seems to be quite popular amongst some TV presenters.

    Well your fans did not disappoint tonight and you must be well proud supporting them.

    I counted 4 flares - and 2 pitch incursions. I think you had more flares tonight but fewer pitch intrusions than when we beat you in the league encounter. Maybe banning orders were placed on the last lot, or maybe the police were a bit more aware.

    Honestly, I don't think I have ever seen so many police / stewards lined up at away end trying to stop pitch encroachment.

    I guess you are proud of that but I see it as a total disgrace !

    Since when did Coventry City become a fake Leeds Utd ? You always used to be a nice friendly club.

    I am now wondering if you are going to behave like Millwall (i.e. when they played Barnsley) at Wembley when Exeter stuff you.....

    That's a bit over the top, out of nearly 5,000 fans a few cause a bit of a problem, all clubs have them including us.

    Are you real ? Did you go to Chavenrty and see how their fans behaved after they had been given a penalty that wasn't ? Imagine how they would have reacted if they had lost ! If you want to give them credit , good for you . Imagine the scenes last night if they had lost.

    Scenes? Tbf we would probably have just slopped off like we have done so many times before in the past when losing.

    If the shoe would have been on the other foot,none of our fans would have done anything like this? Dream on.We lost to the better team on the night.We did the hard work in the away game & didn't turn up last night.

    Coventry fans were pretty well behaved in the end, no need to dress it up any other way. Might have been different if the officials were on our side though.

    But I honestly don't get why, when 4-1 up and going to Wembley, the chants were aimed at Nolan or the Notts fans. It's not like we have any history with them, so that seemed a bit lacking in class. It's like the fact we were losing was more important than the fact they were winning.

    At the end of the day, they were the better team. They're a bigger club with better players and more fans - well done them. At least if they go up we won't have to put up with that 'big club' bull**** again.
