Really??? Please explain

I can't live in Cornwall because the club don't like it? Feel sorry for you though if you live in Coventry it's a shit hole?

If the club still get my money does it really matter that I won't be there?

Yes I know but if I buy a ticket i'll have to use it which it not going to be possible for me.

You don't have to use it ... It says ticket stub holders .. What if you were ill or couldn't make it .. It does not stipulate the ticket has to be used

Oh dear, I don't actually live in Cov but comments like that are insulting and pathetic really. Every City/Town has its good and bad areas !

Skyblue4u said:

That is really unfair. No way can I make a midweek game living in Cornwall but I could manage a weekend. I'm sure lots of people will be in my boat and are going to be angry at this

Tough shit. Presumably you chose to live in Cornwall? Actually, your post is such nonsense i now presume you are joking.

I have taken time off work and will get home gone 1am and have to be up for work again at 6am. My choice, but if i chose not to i wouldn't be bleating and moaning about how unfair it all was.

Now that, to use your phrase, is a silly comment.

The clue is in the user name, but you might have sussed that I don't live in Coventry and haven't done for over 26 years; my choice and I never bitched if I can't make it to a game because of where I lived at the time.

Think we need somebody to find out the offical answer to this.

Exactly, why slag the place and then complain because you CHOOSE to live so far away that you can't get to a game.

i am going to try and get there, and will also give the ticket away to someone else if i cant make it

As for the bandwagon comment, I worked out some time ago that I have spent over £80,000 watching CCFC over the past 12 years or so. I'll be damned if I am going to miss the one day in the sun !

You've almost got yourself an Adam Barton there, or one of Cody McDonald's feet

The club have spent your £80k wisely

I've bought my son a ticket but he can't make it to the crew game because he is working.Is he a glory hunter!! By the way my son a serving soldier.when he was in afghan he was flying the sky blues flag With pride !!

I hope we do well enough for him to return safe and well and see us play at Wembley.

I think the issue with the other bloke is that he was moaning because he chose to live where he does and the fact that he slagged the city off; poor form in my opinion.

I really hope we get to the arch and your son can enjoy his day out.... I support the armed forces 100%.

Hi Guys

I live down South and am desperate for tickets with my son for Home tie... I notice only WC seats are left together inbetween disabled seats. Can anyone sit here? are they different.

I can't sit away from my son so need 2 together. Can anyone suggest where I might be able to contact someone who has a ticket but doesn't plan to go so I can buy them off them??

Many thanks

They've opened another block. Buy online and you pick two seats together

There are a few hundred seats in block 10 so you can sit together. please don't buy the seats next to the wheelchairs as that will prevent disabled people from going.

I'm in plymouth and I'll be there with my boy, his first ever city game, should be a good one to start him off with!!!

We all make our choices in life.

I moved away from Cov over 20 years ago. I am not on work on the Tuesday but am back in work just after 5am Weds morning. Struggling to get the Weds off Not the fault of our club that I decided to live elsewhere. If it was a normal game I wouldn't get home until about 2am. I can see there being problems leaving Cov after this game as there will be more than normal at the game. I would have to leave my house at 2:30pm to get to the game and wouldn't finish work until nearly 5:30pm the next day. Getting too old to stay up for nearly 30 hours at a time.

I am proud to come from Cov. Born and dragged up there I hate it when anyone slags Cov off. Even worse when someone from Cov does the same. Try living in other Cities and Towns around Britain. It is not as bad as a lot of people think.

if you buy a ticket its your choice to attend or not, why unless you simply can't go you wouldn't is beyond me though bcos we need to cheer the lads on to Wembley

Fed up with the sob stories now. The game is due to sell out today - so if you've bought a ticket and do not plan to attend then you are creating empty seats for no reason and denying other people the opportunity to go to the game. I really hope the club make it clear this week that people who do not attend do not get priority. What a mockery it would make if after all this fanfare about a sell out there were empty seats dotted all around the ground. Can't make it? Tough. That's life. I've lived overseas, had this happened then I would have been buggered, but so what.

If we get to Wembley, they'll be at least 12,000 seats that make general sale. Take your chances then, but please do not spoil a night many of us are looking forward to (and yes, it would spoil it, and I have also learned of a lot of people not planning to attend, even people who live locally). Hopefully they will all see sense.

I have just had a knee replacement and I will be there, although not in my normal seat (to many steps). Even hope to get to Sheffield on Friday if I can get a disabled place.
We want every seat taken against Crewe, show the potential of our club..

If this was a normal league game then I wouldn't be bothered. Its the fact that their denying other people from going that annoys me.

be very dissapointing if there are empty seats dotted about due to non attenders

I reckon the club have missed a trick here....

As they appear to have gone down the route of creating a clammer for tickets based upon (alleged) priority for wembley tickets, why the fook didn't they make the tickets £15 each.......wouldv'e have been £300K extra in the coffers...

...and lets face it....these 20,000 jonny-cum-lately city fans would still have paid up.

For the record.....I'm not going. I hate the Ricoh.....but I have just bought my ticket for Gigg lane.....funnily enough....theres still shit-loads of them available....

My wife has to go for a serious operation at 6pm on 4th Feb. I was nervous about getting a ticket on the basis that I might not be able to attend, but I'll be doing my best to get up there. If I can't make it then so be it, but at least the club gets its fiver out of me. Having said that, I'll find some way to get there even if it kills her.

If you have taken your semi-used season ticket and purchased ur Crewe away ticket with the view that your definately not going becuase you have work....I hope you die horribly. Theres hundreds of die hard city fans that missed these, that will make the trip, when they have work themselves, but cant go because of your selfish critter-ish ways.

On a negative note, you wont be priority for a Wembley ticket anyway so Lose-Lose, you punk.

As long as the priority sale is one ticket per season ticket/crewe stub, there'll be plenty that go on general sale (*if we beat Crewe!). Even if 30,000 Cov fans turned up at the Ricoh for the home leg, there's still going to be over 10,000 that go on general sale and all the die hard fans will have theirs already. There's just no need to buy a ticket and not turn up.

Relax.
