Last updated : 02 July 2012 By Covsupport News Service

The game at Wrexham on July 31st announced yesterday, has taken the total number of public matches that Coventry City have lined up for this pre-season to nine.

The last time City played nine matches in pre-season was back in 2002 when Gary McAllister and Eric Black's side played five matches in Germany starting with a 6-0 win at SV Neusorg followed by a draw at Aalen and a win at Auerbach and then a mini tournament in Nuremberg.

Returning to England, City won at Scunthorpe, drew with Dundee United at Highfield Road and then won at Port Vale and Rushden & Diamonds.

However nine is not the most pre-season games, City have ever had. In 1984, City had ten pre-season games including a tour of Finland, two games in Scotland at Devrondale and Brechin City and trips to Carlisle and Newport, winning eight and losing two matches, one against a Finish national side and the other a 2-1 defeat at Carlisle United, whom City will be playing in League One this season.
