Reds Set For Another Blank Weekend

Last updated : 24 February 2009 By Alastair Limb (tykesmad)
Coventry City beat Premier League side Blackburn Rovers this evening to set up a FA Cup Quarter Final tie with Chelsea (anyone remember those?!) therefore giving the Reds another blank Saturday.

The game is scheduled to be played on Saturday March 7th, the day on which the Reds were supposed to face off with Coventry at the Ricoh Arena.

The Ricoh Arena hasn't been a happy hunting ground for the Reds over the previous two seasons. In 06/07, goals from Jay Tabb, two from Dele Adebola and one from our very own Michael Mifsud put City 4-0 up before Bobby Hassell added mere consolation.

Last season was even worse when two from Leon Best, one from Jay Tabb and another by Julian Gray hammered the awful Barnsley side on the day 4-0.

The Reds will be hoping for a reverse when the re-arranged match takes place, date to be confirmed.
