Not calling you anything, don't know you and not pointing any finger at any individual, just stating the definition of a real supporter is someone that is not wavering but steadfastly loyal.
Thanks for defining "real supporter" for us all.
We will have to disagree on your definition of wavering.
Exactly.
Tbf it was and is the Mickey Mouse cup.
I tend to agree. Might be wrong, but I do think pretty much everyone will get one.
You'll miss most of it needing the Loo.
It is a tin pot cup. I also think there was the protest element to the earlier rounds. If SISU get anything out of this it should be that success in whatever form is good for the bank balance. The club also needs Generations to come.Tbf it was and is the Mickey Mouse cup.
Personally I have been fortunate being an ST but have lapsed attending since November due to the experience of being up there in that dead Arena.
I may have seemed cantankerous with my attitude towards attending for this competition.
To me one of the reasons those attendances were so low was down to the 'competition',many fans have been critical of its format and 'status'.
Difficult for the Club to approach maybe, but they didn't market it and seemed happy to settle for 2K, with just the one stand open.
You may remember me ranting about not being able to sit in my own seat on the opposite side of the ground.
Seems I'm going to be there Saturday though as my Grandson asked me If I could take him.
Exactly and that protest doesn't t seem to extend to a Wembley final
I personally don't feel entitled (to anything in life ), and as stated if I don't get a ticket then so be it.
We're not Otis and you know that.
Agree - ST holders should, of course, get priority. God knows they've helped keep the club going through dark times. I was born in Cov and lived there until the age of 11. I now live over 500 miles and a ferry or plane trip away, so attendance is very limited, but still much anticipated. Have followed the club's fortunes (!) from a distance for all of my adult life, which spans their perennial struggles in the old 1st division/premier league and their fall from grace. Many wonderful memories and players, none more so than the magical Hutch. Hooked on a cold midweek night long ago at HR, when Wolves were put to the sword and Hutch and Wallace put on a masterclass. We now stand on the brink of the L2 abyss with the club's very survival in question. I'm going to Wembley come what may but will have to take my chances of getting the two tickets I want if and when they go on general sale. Might end up watching the game in a nearby pub, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I sincerely hope that all those who follow the mighty Sky Blues get the chance to celebrate in style. Enjoy the day everyone. PUSB.
You could get some of those Billy Connolly incontinence trousers!You'll miss most of it needing the Loo.
Mate, with a tale like that to tug at the heart strings, I'm sure there'll be plenty who'd give you their spares.
Thanks Offenham. There must be plenty of exiles such as myself who hold the club dear to their hearts and want to be a part of a special day. This sort of opportunity might not come calling again for a long, long time. Whilst I don't expect to be high up in the pecking order, I'll be pretty fucking cheesed off if supporters of other clubs get tickets from Cov's allocation and I don't! . Just to add, whenever I'm back in Englandshire, I do try to get to see the team. Over the years I have been to quite a few league games. Last season I had the misfortune to watch two dire performances, vs fleetwood at ricoh and barnsley the following midweek away. Most recent highlight was in amongst the crawley home crowd at the last game couple of season's ago - maddison came on 2nd half and turned the game in our favour and ensured L1 status for another year.
And Lutons the more winable tie
I respect your opinion riyadhsktblue, I just think the balance is all wrong. For me, Wingy has it right. He’s starting from the point of how many tickets would be needed to give general fans (who can prove their attendance at relevant matches) a fair crack of the whip i.e. one ticket each, and work back from there to see if it’s doable. He’s very roughly worked out that ST holders could still get a more than adequate allowance of 2 or 3 each, which feels about right. Instead, a mere 3,500 ST holders took every single seat in the best areas on day one (at the expense by the way even of other ST holders who weren’t IT-savvy or quick enough on the draw!). Most importantly for me, no mechanism whatsoever has been put in place to prioritise genuine supporters when the next stage of the sale comes around.
so that should alleviate a tiny bit of the pressure on tickets 
Perry, someone on this site very kindly offered to get me tickets and has since obliged,
I'll have it off you. I am a one single ticketer!
