Crewe fans have now been told it's all ticket only, which is a change in policy.

It was. The remaining 60 odd tickets are for disabled spaces.

Well unless there is a major upturn in Crewe fans buying the best we can hope for is about 28k.

Half of it was opened for sale, the other half was reserved for segregation, but I think things are about to change (see my post above) Crewe fans have just be told it’s all ticket only and they won’t be able to pay at the gate. Read into it what you want..

Crewe have advised their supporters that the game is all-ticket and that tickets need to be purchased before COP Tuesday 5th. If a sizable allocation is returned, then maybe blocks 6 and 7 might be opened to home supporters?

The problem with that is it doesnt give much time for our fans to buy them. It will mean trying to pay on the night, which I doubt many people are going to get up to the Ricoh on the off chance that they might get a ticket.
They opened the full block in the end they didn't keep half closed

You're miss-reading it.
Here's their quote:
"Our away trip to Coventry City in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Area Final is now all-ticket. Alex fans are reminded to purchase their tickets for Tuesday 5th February as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. "
Note it says 'for Tuesday 5th' not 'by Tuesday 5th'
The already have their allocation of 1500, so I suspect it's basically saying, that all we have.

You're wrong
No he isn't, they opened the whole of block 10. The 'half' they opened yesterday sold in 45 minutes this morning. I was in the TO when the staff were told rest of block 10 was open for sale.

Snozz - yes, you're right - being a bit lax. What this means for any discussion between the clubs ('are we ok to have some tickets back?'), CCFC and the police, regarding 6 & 7, who knows.

Exactly how I'm reading it Dubed, I'm more inclined to think they will open 9 to city fans
The other half of block 10 about 700 ish tickets at a very rough count was opened this morning and sold out very quickly.

So just to be clear - we have sold all of block 10 as well as the rest of the home areas bar a few singles dotted around? And block's 6-9 are currently allocated to Crewe? Which is about 3,000 seats and they are expected to bring between 1-1.5K?

Please continue to think what you like, without knowing the facts
So you know all the facts do you then? do you work for the club?
I maybe wrong, I mabe right, but I'm not arragant enough to suggest I know all the facts.
Yes, corporate are counted separately (amounts to about 1500), so we are essentially at 28.5k, excluding away.
The smiley at the end of his post suggests he was being tongue in cheek.
And by the way, you are wrong

I don't know this, but my guess is half of block 9 is now being sold at the ticket office only. If anyone is up there could they clarify?
No but I checked this morning and it was clear it was open I also said I think in my post however you just told me straight up I was wrong which in my view was a bit arrogant however happy to just drop it.

Well maybe I'm wrong then
Roughly what time did they open up the other half of 10, because it certainly wasn't open at about 12pm yesterday.

why are people arguing over this again? dont you all have a ticket already?
on the basis of having already sold 27,000 for a game that still is over a week away - i think we can assume the attendance is going to be somewhere between 30,000 - 32,000. is it really worth arguing over?
