And remember we wont get our usual cushy little parking space close to the ground in side streets.

I am boycotting it then.

Cov may have been arguably been clever here.

Limit Birmingham to around 9000 so, I theory, we still outnumber them.

I'm sure CCFC predicted 10k. Giving Birmingham an extra 4000 gives them home advantage.

Hospitality is showing as sold out

Kop is nearly sold out and looks like blocks are open in the Tilton

 

[bawtryneal]

The whole ground will sell out
At least all seats available apart from segregation

 

[better days]

I couldn't understand why some posters thought this wouldn't be an attractive game
Lots of people I've spoken to who have no affiliation with either club are talking about this fixture
It captures the imagination and is a typical FA cup story

Loving reading these posts.

In this current era where the FA cup means little anymore there’s a definite bit of the old ‘cup fever’ around this time.

Mad to think that Blues will set the record for the most away fans at St Andrews since the development.

Also mad that both sets of fans will have more in the ground than the total attendance for the previous game - 7330

With it being an affiliation of the F.A cup and Coventry it always will capture the imagination of many...PUSB

 

[pusbccfc]

Coventry fans have always come out for the cup once we pass the 3rd round.

The fact we easily sold out Bristol Rovers last week shows the demand.

Been onto one of their sites and there is not much about the game chances - mostly about tickets and where they are going to sit - given our performance on Tuesday i think we have a good chance of turning them over

So do we mate, so do we

I would absolutely love it if we do....PUSB

The Kop isn’t nearly sold out and they haven’t opened any blocks in the Tilton Road stand? Sold a few thousand, possibly as much as 3k since mid day so still decent.

Block T17 T18 and T19 are classed as Tilton but could also be the Kop,

only 30 singles in Kop other open blocks.

Good going for a few hours. Like Wembley lots will wait for behind the goal.

Not quite sure the whole Kop is sold out yet, that's assuming every season ticket holder reserved seat has been bought by Season ticket holder. find out on Monday midnight when they released.

Could find a few season ticket holder bought elsewhere to sit with friends.

I think what people mean is that all of the available seats have gone in the Kop Stand blocks that are normally on sale, even the 3 extra blocks are selling well. There will be unsold ST seats released next week, it always happens, but sales will probably be well into the Tilton by that time.

Like someone whose not going out of principle to explain their attendance. Very welcome but would like to understand what’s different for this game

 

[jordan210]

I would expect T14 and T16 to be open tonight or early tomorrow at the rate we are going.

Really didn’t expect this level of interest. A lot of bandwagon fans.
Those with principles are still boycotting, which is fair enough.

 

[Jukeblue]

With it being the FA Cup does anyone know if Cov are allowed to wear their 2Tone kit for this game?
Would love that as Blues away kit is boring this year, so much so we've had to wear last years away kit three times

What principles exactly are you showing by not attending?

Most people just can’t be arsed with the extra effort unless it’s a particularly attractive game.

We wore it away to Bristol last round. Think you’ll have to wait for the replay though.

This will be first match we will have fans begins the goal at a home match in years, ignoring the community day thing with free tickets behind goal at Ricoh.

Much be a whole generation of fans who have never had the joy of being behind a goal west terrace style.

One of the things I would love to see when we eventually start to get bigger gates at the Ricoh would be City fans behind both goals.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Can’t get two together as of a minute ago and only a few singles left. Must be a fair bit of interest even with the ST seats reserved.

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

Just went on to buy 4 and the corners down to singles only. Looks like I'll have to wait until the release more blocks in the morning.

 

[no_loyalty]

How many does the Tilton hold?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Just keep playing how you have been Pep

 

[Jukeblue]

How many does the Tilton hold?

Kop 9'000
Tilton 7'000
Though it depends where you choose to draw a line between the two

 

[jordan210]

Need to open the Tilton blocks now only about 10-15 tickets available for purchase and all singles

Think they might wait until Tuesday?, after the season ticket deadline has ended.

Thats a long time to wait to not sell tickets. Would expect a few blocks to be open asap

 

[pusbccfc]

Just remembered we will be up against big Jukie.

Shocked he managed to make such a decent career out of himself.

Hopefully that's the case, but this is Cov.

True. I assume they will treat it like they did at Wembley. keep opening blocks and then hold back opening more once the season ticket deadline has past.

Lots will be holding out for behind the goal.
