I see this being north of 20k purely because of the novelty factor (50/50 split)

Clive and oggy were doing their best to ensure that they poured as much cynicism on it as possible. Least they didn’t repeat the ccfc sort it and get back to the Ricoh mantra again
I think so long as sensibly priced with good offers for kids and families and as long as they get them on sale quickly and allow some for pay on the day, it will be a sell out. Both sets of season ticket holders plus their mates and families plus quite a few neutrals in both ends there for the novelty factor
Didn't we take 8k-odd to MK 2 years ago? There's no way
less will travel to this match. I suspect 10-11k.
Not depressing at all for the Blues game - why would we expecting to have more attendees than Blues fans at their own ground? As for the mackems, if we are still doing well, there will be at least 6k Coventry, perhaps more. Sunderland could/will if we allow, bring as many. More money for us, but hardly depressing (only league game that there is any possibility of it happening).
It's depressing for me and brings home the absurdity of our situation.
Our situation absurd - completely. More Blues fans than CCFC fans at the game, not so.
This delay announcing ticket sales means it's almost certain WMP are sticking their oar in trying their best to ruin the occasion. Will probably be 6am on the Sunday. No reason why this game cannot be 3pm Saturday, but suspect it won't be.
Your probably right about the tweak, but there will be more interest in this game than any league games so far, as I know about an extra 20 people who are attending this one for the novelty of it and some of them aren't even cov fans...PUSB
That will just be a provisional. Now they know it's Blues v City, the police may want to shift the KO time. Would think any decision ought to be made soon though, as tickets need to be sold!

Several reasons why it can’t be. Sadly, all very depressing in a civilised society
Seems they don’t like „cobs“ being called batches. Plus I’ve heard that a few Villa fans might want to support Cov on the day.

Has Twitter melted down yet?
"Should only be a tenner"
"Joke that it's on a Saturday"
"Why can't we have the main stand?"

Nice one!
Looks like the BCFC website have taken this down...
