Following on from Derbys attendee. Looks like this should be a big attendance. Shame its a Tuesday night.

Brum have been given a full allocation of 5k

Haven’t we got 2 home games before it and an international break?

Not sure what there is to track at this stage

My bro's a bluenose & he heard before it became official that they were getting 5K allocated tickets as a thank you gesture for playing at their place

And nothing at all to do with the fact that they're under 40 minutes away and would sell out the allocation?

Isn’t it the same for everyone? Derby sold 3,000 and could still pay on the day

Why is your brother a bluenose? Genuinely interested.

I find it fascinating that siblings can have different allegiances.

We‘re both Brummy born & bred but after a certain cup final in 87 I was instantly hooked on City - weirdly,he lives in Cov now whilst I live in Brum - there’s a mix up somewhere

I have a brother who supports Man Utd and another who supports Leicester, God knows why as we all grew up in Coventry and then Rugby

Reckon I was Jimmy Hill away from being a Villa fan 10 year old had just started going to live football with my Burnley fan dad, born there, watching a crappy Cov before the Kings Lynn game, my uncle Ken, Brummie, big Villa fan was on about taking me to Villa but thankfully Jimmy turned up putting paid to that idea.

My father-in-law is a brummy, but supports Cov as he lived here for over 20 years (although he did go to watch Blues when he was a kid), both his brothers are Blue noses.

My two brothers are Cov season ticket holders, my daughter is as of this season and my five year old son (along with my one year old godson) is already clad in skyblue. Doing us bit

Quite frankly I will not accept my kids supporting any other team. We live in Solihull now so the Villa might be tempting for them but that behaviour will not be tolerated.

My dad sat me down when I was about 7 and told me "it's either support cov or adoption, my choice" Still not sure if he was serious, or if I made the right choice

You should get on the Ancestry.co.uk to try and find your dad.

'Couldn't make it up' - Coventry City in 'embarrassing' ticket drama ahead of Birmingham City clash - The72

Birmingham City's ticket allocation for their trip to Coventry City later this month has been reduced from 5,000 to little over 4,000.
the72.co.uk

On police advice!

Sold out their allocation already. Sensible really to reduce to 4k.
