I realise why they had to rearrange the Tranmere game. Why not put it in March or April? No reason I can think of. It was originally scheduled for January 5th and was postponed because of the FA cup match at Tottenham. Nothing to do with JPT

Leon Clarke needs a damn sight more than just a good partner. Clive Platt Mark || ?

The stupidity of this fixture on a midweek night in January beggars belief. Why place a postponed game then when the temperature is likely to be minus 2? I have just counted and there are 6, yes 6 empty weeks in March and April when a midweek night match is quite an agreeable prospect. Only...

I live in Dudley, lived in Birmingham before that and worked in Wolverhampton for many years. The reason Villa are the most hated is simple: a combination of firstly, jealousy as they have won the League and the European cup in living memory ... And secondly, their fans have always thought they...

Such is the society we live in. I work in a school and see the lack of respect first hand ... swear at your parents, then your teacher, then a shop assistant, then a bobby. You get away with them all so, next step ... abuse people who annoy you. The street cleaners where I live receive shocking...

The away leg is during half term week so a lot of season ticket holders who are children or have children but live away from Coventry, like me, can go to this game when normal midweek Away games we cannot. All the tickets will be snapped up by season ticket holders for sure.

On tv all you saw was about 25 people behind the dugouts and a sprinkling of Preston fans. Saw more people on Hearsall Common walking their dogs when matches were on there.

Live 40 miles away and the price is not an issue. Midweek games in the bleak midwinter don't appeal when I don't get home until midnight and have an early start ... Age catching up with me.

I watched on Tv and was disappointed it wasn't that loud except in that last 10 minutes. The fact that the camera doesn't pick up our fans at all doesn't help... Looked like we had a near empty stadium. I'm sure it was really loud in there though. Well done to all Sky Blues tonight ... Except...

So, when the dust settles... How close to a sell out will the area final be at Ricoh? Discuss... Note, second leg is during February half term and should ensure a larger crowd.

Sheff to start. I have a sneaky feeling it could be his night.

Being Old School means you can smile when the young guns get excited about any "big game" when you've seen it all before. The idea that Preston at home in the Football League Trophy (original name) is a big game shows how low we have sunk. I can remember laughing at Wolves fans when they won it...

Note, I live 30 miles from Cov and after taking family members home I don't get home until 11.30.

I'm not going either. Season ticket holder, which is a big enough commitment for me thanks. I don't do cup games as watching City is painful enough and over 42 years I have put myself out many times only to be gutted, cold and home at midnight. OK we are on the up but CCFC owe me more than I owe...

So sorry that you think Westwood won't regret a career which had great promise petering out like it has. He has played 9 league games in 18 months at Sunderland. What a waste! What medals or memories will he be able to share with his grandchildren? zilch. Such a short career and the best years...

Bradford gossip linking him to us again. Anyone know much about him?

Can I take issue with the assertion that we would all leave our job for a pay rise. If you are already on good money, spare cash to spend, successful and well liked at work many would stay put. I, for one, would not change jobs as I am 5 minutes from workplace, settled and successful. If I moved...

Listening to family members who assured me there was no reason to buy a season ticket to ensure a cup final ticket. No, you have the tickets stubs from the quarter final, the semi and stacks of home games, there will be tickets left and we will queue up when they go on sale as you work 30 miles...

I think the main issue with pay on the gate is arriving at 2.55 and expecting no queue. Get there by 2.30 and there should be no problem (IF they open a few turnstiles) People don't want to get there early though so they create the problem themselves.

Why don't these folks just pay on the gate as the price is the same? OK queue a bit but that's better than making 2 trips up surely?
