Hi all from the Newport International Stadium at Spytty Park in Newport, Gwent for Coventry City's pre-season game with Newport County.
The City support have heard the news about Romain Vincelot and some of the support have had words with Tony Mowbray about it.who said that Vincelot wanted to go and doubled his money with City happy that they had made more than their money back on him.
Mowbray also asked the fans not to take the frustrations out on the young team.
