A FOOTBALL club who punched above their weight in the old First Division for more than three decades, then fell upon hard times and were taken over are in a Wembley cup final this year.
Yes, Coventry City are in the Check a Trade Cup Final (and bottom of Division One).
Saints fans might want to reflect for a moment, because Coventry were taken over by SISU (after they failed to take over the Saints).
So my message to all Saints fans who criticise the owners and board at St Marys, is that there but for the grace of God it could have been the Saints.
Reaching a cup final apart, much of the football has been dire, but we are at Wembley so let’s go there in good heart and with strong voice and support our club.
Seven years of progress had to stutter at some time, but ask a Coventry fan if they would swap places and no prizes for guessing the answer.
