Yes, but let's not lay on a needless guilt trip to people who aren't going. I don't want to see the lyrics to One Pound Fish pasted in threads again.
It'd be an even split, they wouldn't give one side an overwhelming majority for a 'neutral' venue. In past finals they've just had a load of empty seats.
I've said this before apologies-Time for the club to limit away fans to the minimum for this game- open up the stand behind the goal traditionally reserved for away fans to home support with a minimum safety zone between the two sets of fans. With a seat for a fiver and a seat for the final assured(if please god we get through) this has to be the chance to maximise the support, pack the Ricoh and maximise the home support/advantage. Come on City
PUSB
Squeeze the away fans right upto the opposite corner and extend 'singers corner' across the back of the goal to the exclusion zone - A proper standing terrace behind the goal including the traditional corner, would be nice. Traditional seating / atmosphere in the rest of the ground.
Would be nice if it happened
I've never understood this mentality of "Oh - It's a bandwagon"
More fans mean more atmosphere, more humour, more fun and ultimately, more support for The Sky Blues. You can tell everyone what a fantastic supporter you've been in the booming pub before or the coach on the way home, you can sit with pride on a freezing Wednesday night against Tranmere Rovers, thinking "I'm the best supporter in the land"
Support of a football club is subjective and peoples circumstances and feelings for the club change. Ultimately, whether we're sat in the stand, next to a radio, following the live text or hearing the score off a mate, we all want what's best for our club, and ultimately, getting to Wembley and taking the roof off it is a dream come true.
I bet you, 95% of that crowd that will hopefully be at Wembley will have been there, at either HR or the Ricoh, watching a pile of crap, earning their stripes as you have yours, at some point over the last 50 or so years. Coventry City don't have much fair weather, and therefore don't have fair weather fans - those people switch on Sky Sports and buy Man Utd shirts. Coventry have fans who are either still attending as often as possible, or at some stage, have been so disgruntled at all the nearly times and the bad times that they simply can't take any more. Either that or they simply can't afford it. People have different levels of what pain they can take and for what period of time they can take it for, and when you wear Sky Blue, there's a lot of pain.
If a trip to Wembley sparks that passion again, or even acts as a nostalgia trip, thats fine by me, despite the ridiculous amount of money I can't afford yet spend on the club. I'll be there, singing the Sky Blue Song with 44,999 like minded brothers, proud to be a supporter of the Sky Blues, holding on to yet another fantastic experience with my team, to protect my faith in the club during the bad times.
I d be surprised if we took more than 20000
