Me : Hi I wonder if you can help me - I would like to buy 8 tickets for the Coventry Game.
Crewe Ticket Office (CTO) : At Coventry?
Me : No the 2nd Leg at home
CTO : Where are you from?
Me : Crewe
CTO : Have you bought from us before?
Me : No Im buying them as a present
CTO : Do the people you are buying them for live in Coventry by any chance
Me : Why do you ask?
CTO : Because this is at least the 20th phone call Ive taken today for this match and I suspect all of them are from Coventry as we really havent sold any yet! Whats your Postcode?
Me : I will get back to you as my mobile is ringing with an urgent call.
CTO : BTW YOU DONT SOUND AS THOUGH YOURE FROM AROUND THESE PARTS! ointlaugh:

Or even better, go for a Stoke address, just in case they have more detailed info on Crewe postcodes and names of residents.

Obviously don't think they would have, but play it safe.

Try

5, Powell Street
Stoke on Trent
ST1 5JW

It's only about 25 mins from Stoke to Crewe by bus.

Coventrycityfc · Jan 23, 2013

Good Luck all #ccfcfamily

You should have come back with, 'I dunno, what postcodes have you got?'

Ha!

They'll be 20 different people all from exact the same postcode from Crewe trying to buy tickets.

Cigarfingers · Jan 23, 2013

Lol funny post
Nice try fella

But there must be 300-400 houses in the ST1 postcode area.

Skybluesimon · Jan 23, 2013

I have an address in the Crewe area, do you think they will be suspicious if I buy 200 tickets for you lot? :S

Otis · Jan 23, 2013

Best go for 150 to not raise any alarm bells I would have thought.

tippex9 · Jan 23, 2013

It's more of a Staffordshire/Stoke accent

Otis · Jan 23, 2013

Just find out if they call a batch 'a cob' 'a roll' or 'a bap' and then when you ring up Crewe FC ask them at the ticket office where you can buy the best *baps, cobs, rolls.

*delete as appropriate.

GaryJones · Jan 23, 2013

Thy call em Balm,s on Coronation Street - perhaps I will try that!:claping hands:

CJparker · Jan 24, 2013

As a Cheshire boy myself (Congleton, about 10 miles from Crewe), I really am amazed by how you lot think we Cheshire types talk - as if people from Crewe talk like Yorkshiremen and are obsessed with trains and farming!!!

GaryJones · Jan 24, 2013

Youve given me an idea - I will give it my best Ringo Starr voiceover in the style of Thomas The Tank Engine! That might swing it!

To be honest, I thought the train references were to do with it being the epicentre of the train industry (historically)!

Otis · Jan 24, 2013

Yep. And I do think you will find people are being very tongue in cheek.

aviles · Jan 24, 2013

or just say your a crewe fan who lives in coventry. not rocket science they cant argue with that.

Well, they can. And will.

shropshirecov · Jan 24, 2013

I'm amazed why they seem so against Cov fans buying up seats that would otherwise be empty?

In the express and star Walsall fans were applauding the idea to give us nearly 5000, two whole stands and two blocks of their main stand, more money for thru the gate the better was their attitude.

hill83 · Jan 24, 2013

It's not rocket science. Would you want half of the telegraph stand filled with Villa fans for example? No.

You'd have thought would open another stand up for us though.

Otis · Jan 24, 2013

Well that's it in a nutshell.

They are just looking to avoid any trouble and it there are pockets of City supporters everywhere then trouble could flare up.

As Hill says, open up a stand or section off part of another stand.

Hardly the same is it villa at Coventry or away at Crewe in the JPT, they're not even bothered about the competition they had about 2000 in the last round.
I agree another section of the ground could be opened up for city fans.
