Total fuck fest on the tickets. Myself and plenty of others I know still hadn’t got em in the post today. I’m in the fackin cup scheme too so automatic tickets for any cup game.

Received an email last Tuesday telling me that they had taken my dough and that my ticket was in my usual seat and on its way.

Rang the cunts today ‘Oh yeah we ain’t selling tickets in your block’ Yeah, what about the mail? ‘Oh, disregard that’ Ok, well where’s my alternative ticket? ‘Oh, you ain’t been allocated one cos your still down as being in your usual seat, y’know the ones we ain’t selling’ (with steam coming out of my ears), well the match is tomorrow and I ain’t got a fuckin ticket? ‘Oh, hang on, I’ll allocate you a new one, you can pick it up on the night’ (flames now coming out me nose), I don’t wanna fuckin queue up to get a ticket on the night which is why I’m in the automatic fuckin cup scheme. ‘ oh right OK, I’ll mail you a PDF, just print it off and use it at the turnstiles’

And you wonder why we ain’t sold many :)
My my things are far worse than even I thought down there. I know they've had a bit of a game what with the Boro match being brought forwards 3 days then the 2 Cov games and a busy February schedule coming up but we're supposed to be a professional outfit. Stinks of the club cutting corners and cutting costs to the bone having outsourced most aspects of the running of the club and stadium. The overcomplicating of this Cov fixture (first game should've been a complete sell out) and this replay should never have been ALL TICKET and limited to folks with booking histories has been an outrageous faff. Anyway wrong forum. Hoping for a better game at least, especially if it goes on all night. Reckon we'll have about same number of fans or maybe slightly more. Cardiff is a tenner tomorrow, Liverpool £15 (£9 if you live in Liverpool) which doesn't seem to fit the FA rules

Prediction: CCFC 2 Birmingham 1.

Don't see this one on ESPN+ in the US.
They are showing Oxford United vs Newcastle plus loads of Italian and Spanish games.

I'm travelling down from Chester, £25 return train ticket and won't get back until 1:20am due to the rail replacement bus from Crewe
Just generally surprised that we haven't sold 5-6K considering that's what we usually get at St Andrews for home games.

Great effort by you, it's an away game so people can't sit in their normal seats.

No sign of the Barnsley tickets either

Fair dos, you’re right:emoji_thumbsup:

Tongue slightly in cheek but you know.

Good luck for tomorrow. I’m half expecting a really good game in front of a lower crowd than the match justifies. Similar to the replay against Bristol Rovers. No bugger turned up but we put in a great performance.

Think it will go either way but I’ll stick my neck out and say there will be goals and decent football on show. Looking forward to it.

I don't think so

But as he played in the original fixture, I'm almost sure that changes things. Sam played for us on Saturday, even though he signed the deal with Norwich on Friday (afternoon?) so he was still eligible to play. Ryan Giles wasn't eligible for the Saturday game.

Think we can all agree that we want it decided in 90 minutes.

Extra time and pens? *shudders

Leicester in the next round ? It'll be a game of "you score", "no, you score" :)

The deal with Norwich was completed Friday morning, Giles was signed after the playing deadline.

City to win in extra time is 12/1 on bet365. 27/10 in normal time.

Have to say that Birmingham at 23/20 in 90mins is probably decent value.

You think it will go either way? Prediction of the year that.

Looks like you’re having the same problems we're having. Hope you’re sorted in time mate.

I must have been lucky, got mine when they released ours to STH and received it the next day.

Robins has said he will be utilising the squad so I expect there will be a few changes tonight. Still think we can make a good account of ourselves.
