THE LAST TIME
Tuesday night will see City’s third appearance at Adams Park when they face Wycombe Wanderers in a JPT First Round South Western section game.
City’s first ever visit was for a pre-season game on 24th July 1991 and the Sky Blues beat Martin O’Neill’s side 5-0.
However, many City supporters will remember the League Cup of Tuesday October 5th 1993. The Sky Blues had led 3-0 from the First Leg at Highfield Road but were 4-1 down in the second leg and it was only a late goal that sent City through.
