Really tough match this one. They are one of the form teams at the moment beat Sunderland away 5-1 and got a draw at Middlesborough. We will really have to be on top of our game to win this especially if our internationals come back knackered. Unsure how many players they had away on international duty, if they played and if they travelled long distances. Always factors that can contribute to post international games

Vic could walk home and still have gas in the tank

Vic could walk home and still have gas in the tank

But if he had gas in the tank would he not just drive home?

 

[Yank]

This is the most confidence that I have felt in a Sky Blues team since started watching the club.

2-0 win.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

After Vik's performance for Sweden, I think he's going to come back a man possessed.

Head says draw, heart says win.

Wonder if they’ll start taking their foot off the gas once promotion and the title are confirmed

Like @SkyBlueSoul said, Burnley & Blackburn absolutely hate each other. No one will be taking that game for granted.

I think this season is the first (in a while) that visiting supporters aren't forced to go on coaches.

A lot of people putting Allen in their team, has robins confirmed he's back? I didn't think it'd been 6 weeks.

A few weeks back he said that he hoped Allen would be back after the international break, or just after.

So it’s not definite he’ll be back on Saturday.

(Unless there’s been a more recent update that I’ve missed).

 

[Covcraig@bury]

It’s going to be a hard game and I think we will struggle to score 4 so going with 3-1 win

 

[Offhegoes]

Yes a tough game. We didn't play our best against Hull a few weeks back, when expectations were high, and I still remember that Bournemouth game last season off the back of the 3-1 win at Fulham. If they nullify Vik which I am sure they will be working on, and without O'Hare and Palmer I am worried how we can unlock them. Walker & Godden need chances created for them. Think we need Stoke to come at us so we can pick them off. If they dig in, it could be a long afternoon.

1-0 godden to score in the last 5 minutes

Smash the filthy oatcake eating clayheads 27-0

 

[Grendel]

Like most games depends if we get ahead in the game and don’t end to chasing it

I think a win is likely

Oh dear, you'll soon learn.

(Unless there’s been a more recent update that I’ve missed).

I heard that Allen has been in full training for a week, if true would mean he's a possible for Saturday

[shmmeee]

Blocks with more than just singles left:

Few more gone today



Pay day Friday so I’d expect a decent walk up/late sales.

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

If we get sales through the week yes

I think Stoke only have a 2500 allocation so I guess we are looking at nearer 23,500 unless a really good walk up.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Legends day Saturday, has Dion Dublin ever been to a Legends day game?

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

Legends day Saturday, has Dion Dublin ever been to a Legends day game?

Don’t think so many fans are still bitter about how he left although he was a great player for us

It does look like a big home crowd for this one especially as we always sell alot of tickets on the Friday before.
Only 24 seats left in the West Stand, the family zone has loads more sold than usual and the East stand is sold out up to block 23.
Corporate will also be busier than normal especially the upper tier as its Legends Day.

Cannot believe that its 25 years ago he left.

Wow.

 

[Ashdown]

Really, sales figures so far look about average. I still maintain the £33 price will put off a lot of people. I’d love to see 25000 but needs a sales uplift to achieve that.

 

[Saddlebrains]

We will flog another 1k behind the goal Friday i would assume with payday. Add another 5 or 600 walk ups and it wont be that bad. Id say about 22k cov

Sunderland like ?

I had assumed Stoke were allocated 4000 but seems only 2500.

£33 is steep.... also £28 for my Uni student lad is harsh.

 

[fernandopartridge]

£33 is expensive but the punters are coming through so it wouldn't make that much sense to discount, the gain in extra numbers would be more than cancelled out by the loss in revenue.

I think student tickets should be a lot cheaper mind.
