[Cobi Jones's Dreads]

I think Nick should organise a pre match SKYBLUES TALK beer up!! be nice to put faces to words haha.

Good idea smiley, i already know a few on here but like you say would be good putting a few more faces to words as you put it i've been speaking to some people on here for along time including yourself over on 606 if i'm not mistaken although i was using a different name then. ( And no it wasn't Neo) imp:

This game is on my birthday weekend for my 21st. So definitely going to make a weekend of it. Hopefully it can be topped off with a Cov win.

I just read on twitter that this game will be on Saturday at 3pm. Can anyone find anything to back this up?

 

[Spence CCFC]

Yeah it will be. The Villa game is an early kick off on the saturday.

 

[SkyBlueKay]

Is this set in stone as I can't find it anywhere official?



>> Even on The FA website it lists both the Birmingham match & the Villa match as 15.00 KO

 

[Gallagher]

I've checked the FA website and nothings been confirmed there (apart from the Southampton vs Man United game) But if Villa is an early kick off on the Saturday, i would've thought the Brum game would be held on a different day for security reasons.

 

[Spence CCFC]

On the Villa website it says their kick off is going to be 1pm on Saturday because we're playing Blues at 3pm.

It's written here on the Aston Villa website:

Not sure if this can be true, can both of these games be policed in one afternoon?? I really hope we get the Saturday slot!!!

 

[Nick]

I can't see why people are so obsessed about who Villa are playing and when?

 

[Disorganised1]

They haven't picked the tele games yet, but I don't think either of them will be on the box live.

beacuse both being in brum, means anyone travelling into New st is gonna have a mare!!

 

[SkyBlueKay]

We've got a chance of being on the TV because it's a derby match

 

[ccfc luke]

Yea, it does although i dont want it on tv.
How long do you think it will take us to sell the 6k out?

 

[Jimthor]

The queue for the club shop after the game at the weekend was huge, i don't think it'll take that long for them to all get sold.

 

[ccfc luke]

I guess not, i have to wait to buy my ticket because i want to sit with my mates who arnt season ticket holders. Its a piss take

 

[SkyBlueMania]

Need a quick response to this! the only seats left are on the far right of the stand, not the worst, but not the best. Are they releasing tickets for the upper stand? Is there a better view from there? might wait for those if they do!

 

[Spence CCFC]

Yeah they will release tickets for those but if i were you i wouldn't risk it.

 

[SkyBlueMania]

I managed to find two tickets on the left side of block six half way back which i somehow hadn't seen, snapped those bad boys right up! Love the FA cup, always make an extra effort for it!

 

[Coventry La La La]

Looking at the ground guide that small top section thats cutoff looks abit boring anyway... very small section it is.

(as the picture below shows) its the small area at the top of the whole stand

[SkyBlueMania]

yeah i'm glad i went for it when i did, supposedly they aren't opening the top tier for crowd safety etc. cannae wait!

 

[Jimthor]

My purchase of 50 sky blue balloons arrived today
Now especially excited for this! haha

 

[SkyBlueKay]

Awesome!

 

[SkyBlueMania]

Did anyone go to Newcastle about 5 years ago? someone handed out balloons on all of the buses, released thousands of them at the start of the game, was awesome!

 

[Jimthor]

My haul of 50 doesn't seem quite so impressive now! haha

 

[SkyBlueMania]

haha, didn't mean to burst your bubble, how about i bring 50 as well and then we'll have 100!

 

[SkyBlueKay]

haha, didn't mean to burst your bubble, how about i bring 50 as well and then we'll have 100!

Surely you meant to say "Didn't mean to burst your balloon"? Sounds like a good idea to me!


Anyone know anything about a football special train? Someone on FB said they're running one?

 

[Coventry La La La]

The sky blues baloons is a good idea will definetly add something to kick off time

 

[smileycov]

Remember at villa in the cup, we had thousands of ballons then! the colour,noise and everything made it seem like a home game, i am sure it helped

 

[Jimthor]

Does anybody know what the majority of City fans will be doing for this game?
I've read in places that lots of people will be drinking in The Rocket then getting the train and walking from New Street to St Andrews. Is that what people here are doing? And any indication of what time train etc?
Would just be good to move with the crowd i think, and to maximise my drinking time before the match!
