THE SKY Blues are gearing for their first trip to Wembley in 30 years when they take on Oxford United in the final of the Checkatrade Trophy – and you could be there to cheer Russell Slade’s side on to victory.
The Coventry Observer has teamed up with Checkatrade, official title sponsor of the Checkatrade Trophy, to offer ten lucky fans the once in a lifetime chance to win four tickets to Wembley for the match on April 2.
Slade’s side are heading to Wembley for the first time since 1987, when they were there twice in a matter of months – first famously beating Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 to lift the FA Cup for the only time in their history, followed by a Charity Shield encounter with Everton which they lost 1-0.
The Sky Blues will be looking to give their fans something to celebrate having gone through the competition unbeaten after finishing top of their group.
Victories over Crawley, Brighton Under-23s, Swansea Under-23s and Wycombe booked City their place at Wembley where they will face Oxford who beat Luton 3-2 in the other semi-final.
To be in with a chance of winning four tickets, simply answer the following question.
Who did Coventry City beat at Wembley to lift the 1987 FA Cup?
a) Crawley
b) Oxford
c) Tottenham Hotspur
