Re: FA Cup
I normally just do a burger or a hotdog too tbh.
Finding a pub close to the ground with wheelchair access and not packed with fans could well be tricky tbh,.

Yes, I believe he has been unwell. If better he starts, and Taylor can play further forward instead of Szmodics

Re: FA Cup
Personally no, but then I have a big appetite and generally never feel full for long (high metabolism + gym).
I like to get there early, get parked and have a nice meal - make more of a day of it etc as I only get to go usually 4-5 times a season.

This is my planCharnwood wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2025 9:14 amI always street park with an easy escape route to the A12 going south towards Colchester / A14 going west towards Bury St Edmunds. It works every time for a very quick getaway. Last time I parked easily on Willoughby Road, less than 10 mins walk to the ground. Leaving after the game take the Belstead Road route to the A12 and you’ll be on the motorway network in a few minutes.

Dunno anything really just felt Keiran wasn't that keen on keeping him.hallamblue wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2025 11:20 pmYes he probably is. I dont think he made a very good call, to decline the deal on the table from us tbh ....

Genuinely not sure who starts today but guessing:
Muric
H Clarke Godfrey Burgess Townsend
Phillips Taylor
Burns Broadhead J Clarke
Al Hamadi
Looking forward to the match anyway. Less so the drive back to Brighton after

Re: FA Cup
I wonder what sort of allocation we will get, I see Coventry average 27-28k for league games (from a 32k capacity).
They had 20k for the 3rd round game.

Re: FA Cup
Sheffield Wednesday got an allocation of 4,900 for the 3rd round game so would imagine we will get the same.

Re: FA Cup
If the game isn’t moved from the Saturday then I think we may very well sell the whole allocation. I know a lot of people went there at the end of last season but there are many who haven’t had the opportunity to purchase tickets for away games this season and if the opportunity arises to purchase a ticket for this game they may very well take it up.shabba wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 8:13 pmThat’s pretty decent then.

Re: FA Cup
Someone has posted 5k on twtd ...i fully expect every single ticket will be sold and there will be demand for more than that.

Re: FA Cup
Random but how popular do you think the Coventry away tickets will be? I see we have 4.9k allocation and away points will NOT be given for this game. However the points level for first batch starts at the usual at 30 plus bracket.
I wonder how far it will go down?
Tempted to go but I’m in the 11 bracket and my sons jot in any I’d imagine, (maybe 5 default of being a junior blue?).

Re: FA Cup
Would think it would go down quite low especially now that there won’t be a repeat of earlier in the season where some purchased tickets for their point but didn’t bother going to the game. Not sure about the situation regarding your son though as I don’t know what the junior blue membership includes.shabba wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 7:17 pmRandom but how popular do you think the Coventry away tickets will be?

Re: FA Cup
Yes was thinking it might go low. checked and saw it 5 away points for Junior Blues, so might be a slim chance of getting a ticket.

Re: FA Cup
I bought 2 this morning as have over 30 points but there was hardly any sold so suspect most who want to go will be OK. I hope so anyway

Re: FA Cup
I've just been watching a recording of Brum vs. Newcastle....and a player that has really stood out for me was Osula for newcadtle . What a great young player. Would love it if we went in for him. He's a 21yr Danish player Rt wing.
