What a sense of embarrassment! Awkward stuff. Still we can beat our landlords for further embarrassment!

Police.

How would you stop Birmingham fans in the home end?

Either that or give Birmingham both tiers in the away end and the old stand. That would be about 10-12k

Think people are making this way more complicated than it needs to be.

We're the home team so we get the Kop stand same as we have for every other game. If we only use one stand what does it matter? Give them all the Merrick and Main stand and keep Tilton Road off sale until we see how sales are going. If there's enough demand from our fans we get them as the home team, if not might as well let them have them.

Would be annoying to be outnumbered but lets face it we could do with the money from a sell out.

Hope your 100% correct

Went there in the cup about 10 years ago, lost 3-2 after being 2 up. Think there was only 11k or so there and half of that was Cov, it'll be the same again.

Birmingham City v Coventry City, 29 January 2011 Over 16,500 there, which surprises me, don't remember it being that full. I do remember Platt doing sweet fa all game.

Why are people assuming Birmingham will be able to shift 20K tickets? For them it's a cup tie against a lower league side. Do you really think that many would turn up if we were at the Ricoh and got drawn against Walsall?

I may have a punt on Bristol Rovers for the replay.

How would you stop Cov fans in the home end? Unless there was a legal stipulation in the lease... surely we’re the home team.

Only sell tickets in the home end to people already registered on the ticketing site before the draw or only sell tickets to people who have a purchase history.

Really? I remember the Blues end looking very sparse, do they use the same counters as Wasps?

Conor Thomas played. Kevin Phillips came on and changed the game for them, looked a class above at aged 38

This has happened before.

Late 90s Stevenage were drawn at home in FA Cup to Birmingham and they switched it to St. Andrews. They had the main stand and other parts of the ground were empty

Certain Police will class it as a Birmingham home game, common sense really. we will get the away end maybe a corner of the kop if needed.

Nobody is that thick. Even if our fans are in the away end its still a 'home' tie for us.

I doubt it. The BBC and BT sport will pick the PL clubs over this and maybe Northampton in hope of an upset.

That makes the gate a maximum of about 10k, per my previous post it's a terrible terrible draw. Not attractive football wise nor financially.

Pffffft...I don’t think the police would worry too much...they’re hardly fierce rivals
(Whatta draw though...my twin bro’s a Bluenose who lives in Cov & I’m a City fan who lives in Brum,he reckons there’ll be plenty of tickets & is predicting about 18K)

Why would Blues fans be in with our fans? Season tickets?

But if we draw Liverpool in the next round and get the kop they wouldn't go because that's the home end.

If their support is a bit quiet, do we sing you're supposed to be at home?
