HALF TIME - GULLS 0-0 CITY

Another great tackle from Mansell. Lee is right up for this today.

And here come the teams. We are all in gold as ever. City are all in black with gold trim and white numbers.
We have won the toss and will play towards the Babbacombe End in the first half just the way we like it. There will be a minute's silence for Jim Thompson, founder chairman of the Football Alliance.
And we're off...

This is the first time the ground has been rammed full since the play-off match against Ex***r at the end of last season.
We appear to have seven mascots today, which must be some kind of record.
I can't believe I have just waved to Gilbert the Gull.....and he waved back....

15 minutes to go now and the atmosphere is terrific. If you don't feel the buzz on a day like this, then you have no soul!
It's orange boots for the warm-up for Mustapha, by the way. Very flamboyant.
The Gulls are heading back into the dressing room now to a big reception.

Shaking hands with the fans down on the rails are a couple of Coventry directors. Apparently, our friend from the Coventry Evening Telegraph tells us, one of them is the man who has been given the job of running Northern Rock.

How good is it to see the place full again? With half an hour to go to kick-off, the Pop Side is packed, the family stand is filling up nicely and the grandstand is almost full. Down at the Babbacombe End the visiting fans are shielding their eyes against the low sun as the teams warm up.

So, there are a few surprises in the City side, with Ward and Dann on the bench despite having been declared injured earlier in the week, and Walker, Frazer and Wynter, all of whome are 17-year-olds.
The sweepstake in the press box has thrown up the usual outbreak of hopeless optimism. I have gone for 2-0 to Torquay. Darryl has gone for his usual 5-0 to the Gulls. One day he will be right...

The team sheets are here and the Gulls are unchanged.
We are Bevan; Mansell, Woods, Hodges, Nicholson; Carlisle, Wroe, Hargreaves, Dsane; Sills, Green. On the bench are Poke, Robertson, Benyon, Thompson, Carayol, Stevens and Adams.
The Sky Blues are Westwood; Gunnarsson, Hall, Turner, Fox; Mifsud, Beuzelin, Doyle, McKenzie; Eastwood, Morrison. On their bench are Ward, Dann, Thornton, Marshall, Walker, Frazer and Wynter.
Referee is Kevin Friend from Leicester.

Lots of people logging in today. Hello to those blogging in the library at UWE in Bristol. Try to keep the noise down, eh? And if Danny Stevens gets on, we'll be sure to let you know...

Coventry are stretched in squad terms, apparently, With Jay Tabb having joined Reading last week, they are also without Scott Dann, Isaac Osbourne, Elliott Ward and Marcus Hall, all of whom are injured.
Watch out for the lively Michael Mifsud in midfield, and also for Clinton Morrison of course.
The experienced front man is our official Man to Watch.

Michael Poke is out warming up with Scott Bevan at the moment, which indicates that while Bevan has probably recovered from whatever injury he has, Poke is likely to be on the seven-man bench just in case we need backup.

The press benches here are pretty crowded to say the least. We think the BBC have brought more than Altrincham did last time they came....

As regular bloggers will know, the connection is erratic here. We're in for the moment so what can I tell you?
This is the furthest we have ever been in this competition. The last time we did it was 18 years ago when we lost to Blackpool.
Can we really pull off the impossible? Well, we can dream, can't we?

Welcome to Plainmoor. It's sunny here and the crowd are pouring in. Steve Ogrizovic, the giant Coventry keeper who was between the sticks when we lost 0-2 up at Highfield Road in 1988, is out on the pitch warming up the visiting keeper.

YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!
