4th Round Draw - Who d'ya fancy? (should we make it) (9 Viewers)

If this happens it should be a respectful festival atmosphere. I would hope ccfc fans remember the favor that bcfc have done us. It could be a celebration of Midlands football.
Then again it could all get ruined by some beered up twats.

Don't know if this has been asked yet, but when's the replay with Brizzle?

"Small Heath's a shithole, we wanna go home" has a bit of fruition and honesty about it

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

They could give two stands each.


Realistically, it will be Coventry in the away end which is what I would want. 6000 is what we need

When we have had gates higher than that? I don’t see why a move is need. Two stands each sounds a fair solution.

This is the beauty of the FA Cup - boom!
If we beat BR I can see this being a really good game of football - a test to see how far we’ve come on this season too.

 

[Gibbo]

Bizarre decision

Not really. If you have VAR then use it. It is allegedly better, so if there were contentious decisions - like at Watford - that were not overturned because VAR not used, there would be a legitimate outcry. Some justice is better than no justice at all

Seems cwr got it completely wrong again

FA stance's on remarkable Coventry vs Blues FA Cup possibility

 

[Gibbo]

Someone called Neil texted in to say Boddy confirmed we would have the away end - it makes sense anyway

Most probably in the original contract. And the draw on one hand and who sits at which end of the stadium on the other, are utterly unconnected

Okay, we'll have the main stand and the stand on the right of it. Give Blues the away stand and the other one.

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

Shit draw in a competition that has about as much magic as an 80 year old strippers thong.

Plenty of magic still in this competition if treated with repect. The 1800 City fans in Bristol yesterday certainly wanted the win.

Confirmed by CCFC too. Brum will have use of away stand and changing rooms.
Just waiting for confirmation of who gets the Roost?

 

[Gibbo]

I bloody well hope not. Kick in the teeth for season ticket holders.

Get real. Do you think B'ham fans would tolerate being in the away end?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Get real. Do you think B'ham fans would tolerate being in the away end?

They’ll have to

 

[Gibbo]

Believe when it's announced.
If that's true it's a kick in teeth for season ticket holders.

No its not. It's their bloody ground

 

[GaryJones]

I love this!
The banter on the day between the fans will be of epic proportions!

 

[jordan210]

He says it’s a fact but I can’t remember seeing it anywhere

Has anyone actually seen this so called fact anywhere

 

[GaryJones]

Having said all this though Cov being Cov we will probably screw it up and get beaten by Bristol Rovers!!!

 

[shmmeee]

No its not. It's their bloody ground

Not when we’re renting it it’s not.

 

[MalcSB]

No its not. It's their bloody ground

Not when we play home games there.

No shock there then they know about as much as Turner

 

[Gibbo]

Not when we play home games there.

Imagine it reverse. How would you react if we were the landlords and B'ham drawn at home?

 

[Gibbo]

also the rules posted earlier mention the % that can be allocated to the away team, but not any location iirc? As a gesture we say to B'ham, you can have >15% as is allowed.

 

[MalcSB]

Literally the luck of the draw.

 

[covcity4life]

You cant just change rules surely?

They are the away team. We are paying rent for right to be the home team

 

[cc84cov]

You cant just change rules surely?

They are the away team. We are paying rent for right to be the heme team

That’s correct as backed up and confirmed by the FA & CCFC

 

[ccfcricoh]

Just open the whole ground up and have a free for all, I think it'll be quite a funny atmosphere with no animosity. I kind of want to meet my BCFC season ticket seat partner.

Blues fans wont give a shit if they're in the home or away end and neither do I quite frankly...

Let's just beat Brizzle.

[cc84cov]

Blues fans I know think it’s comical and are looking forward to it

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I’m pretty convinced we’ll just ask to reverse the fixture. The crowd will be bigger for blues v Coventry than vice versus.

The FA will agree vecuase their cut will be bigger.

besides - this is all moot... we have to beat Bristol first

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They are the away team. We are paying rent for right to be the heme team

I think this is a fair argument

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I know for a fact this is bollocks - I work with a guy who works part time with the ground staff.

Birmingham City are happy enough with the arrangement. It doesn’t bother them one way or the other.

Think Brum have got more important things to worry about

It's not a level playing field though is it?

That doesn’t look good at all especially after their points deduction. Are there any suspended points ?

 

[clint van damme]

Who is this Group ? Sounds like a absolute prat

why do some people feel the need to announce everything they do on social media, no one's interested you boring fucks.
