City V Blackpool Going Ahead As Scheduled

Last updated : 05 January 2019 By CNS Sport

Coventry City's League One fixture at home to Blackpool FC will go ahead as scheduled on Saturday January 26th.

The game would have been postponed if the Seasiders had beaten Arsenal in an FA Cup Third Round tie.

However, there was no upset as Arsenal, whose supporters out-numbered those Blackpool fans not boycotting the game, won 3-0. 

The Gunners were ahead through Willock after eleven minutes with a second for Willock and Arsenal in the 37th minute.

Iwobi scored a third goal in the 82nd minute.

City's League One home game against Walsall will also go ahead as scheduled on February 16th (FA Cup Fifth Round day) after the Saddlers, who knocked City out of the competition were beaten 5-2 at Bolton Wanderers.

City's League One game away to Peterborough United on March 16th (FA Cup Quarter-Finals Day) will also go ahead as scheduled after Peterborough were beaten 5-0 at Middlesbrough in a Third Round tie.
