There was no love-in though. That's what the 7 pages of this thread have been about.

Can't see more than 3K to be honest, 2K if it's on TV. I can't see people falling over themselves to go to a midweek game at a ground we'll visit on 30 other occasions this season. SA fatigue will kick in with a lot of regulars.

In retrospect, it wasnt a good move. I said I'd pop my head in and see what the vibe was like. Apart from a few Blues lads getting lively early on, it was fine and in the end was 80% Cov and no issues so stayed. It didn't help that the police tweeted that all pubs around the ground were Blues...

I've never liked that chant, and singing it around the streets of Birmingham is idiotic in the circumstances. Then again, Blues fans singing 'Coventry's a shit hole, that's why you play here' repeatedly didn't get me foaming at the mouth either, just laughed at it. It's just shit banter.

With all due respect, how do you know? I don't, not involved with that scene and never have been, but in 25 years following Cov away there have been times I have have witnessed stuff that was far from embarrassing (in that sense anyway). Yesterday was nothing to do with that anyway. You had 11K...

It was OK. How was your afternoon in IKEA?

Agree. Don't miss many away games myself, but with 2 other midweek trips to SA in Feb I'll swerve this I think.

Can't see tickets for the replay being in high demand for them (or us). Today was a novelty for them. Crowd will be lower than today's by some distance.

It was just a recent cup game I chose as a comparison. It was OK, and had the game been different and there had been some goals in it, I'm sure it would have been bouncing. Didn't find it particularly intense, so we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Compared to the Stoke game a couple of years ago it was nowhere near. The game was different though, and had we scored it would have erupted. Thought Blues fans were quiet second half too.

It was OK, but didn't live up to the occasion imo. First couple of games there were better.

Disagree. It wasn't a good spectacle, but not too critical of us, we were the better side, and it wasn't ugly, just a lack of opportunities. Atmosphere was flat at times also.

Awful game really. Barely a shot on target all afternoon from either side. We shaded it though, gutted with the late miss and could do without the replay.

Tbf outside is fine. Just a group of about 30 Blues in the main bar getting a bit lairy. Outside areas are cool and mostly Cov.

Roost starting to get a bit edgy!

Roost OK at the minute. Slightly more cov than Blues at the moment.

Planning to get there at 11.30, so if it's already full by then it will be a major headache. What about the Cricketers? That's away fan friendly for Blues games so should be OK tomorrow?

Don't know why people think they'll be loads of first timers there tomorrow. They'll be a few, but vast majority will have been at some point.

After exploring all the options, will just go in the Roost. What's the worst that can happen? :hurting:

I notice the comments on the article have taken a bit of a turn. Call me cynical, but some of the language used is very similar to that used by the usual suspects on twitter.
