A Coventry City fan will see her 800th game at Wembley on Saturday.

“I don’t think anyone was anticipating us getting to Wembley this year…especially with the start of the season that we had,” she said.

She said she was in tears when the club was relegated to the then First Division after a 3-2 away defeat at Aston Villa on 5 May 2001.

Coventry City has been allocated 36,237 tickets for Wembley and their fans will be in the west end of the stadium which has sold out.

“I’m very excited…it’s so close now!”, Mrs Turner said.

Coventry vs Luton: Quick Stats

• Luton Town is tipped to win promotion to the Premier League, with a 39.7% chance of winning the Championship play-off final at 90 minutes (Coventry: 31.5%; draw: 28.8%).
• Should Luton win promotion to the Premier League, it’ll see them equal Wimbledon’s record of going from non-league to the top flight in just nine years.

• Match Preview

  Coventry City and Luton Town will battle it out to win promotion to the Premier League at Wembley Stadium in the Championship play-off final on Saturday afternoon. Despite Luton making the playoffs for a second successive season in the league, not many would have expected this matchup in the final at the start of the season.

  Both sides have progressed to the top echelons of the Championship despite much adversity over the last decade, with Luton even dropping down to non-league and the fifth tier of football for a period of five years before three promotions over seven seasons took them back to the second tier for 2019-20. They were founding members of the Premier League but were relegated in 1991-92 before getting a chance to kick a ball in the newly founded top flight in England. Now, 31 years later, this is the closest they’ve been to returning to the top division.

  Coventry City was a Premier League club between the inaugural 1992-93 season until 2000-01, but their relegation signaled an end to 34 successive seasons as a top-flight club and they haven’t been back since. They dropped as far as the fourth tier in 2017-18, but Mark Robins has led them all the way to this match, with two promotions in three seasons and now in their third campaign in a row as a Championship side.

  Should Coventry win this match, Robins would join only seven other managers in winning promotion from the fourth, third, and second tier with the same club. The others are David Bowen (Northampton Town), Alan Ashman (Carlisle United), Jimmy Sirrel (Notts County), Graham Taylor (Watford), John Toshack (Swansea City), Dave Bassett (Wimbledon), and Eddie Howe (Bournemouth).
