Just in the 80's and 90's apparently.
Just in the 80's and 90's apparently.are you normally invisible then?
I need to get this off my chest, I am sincerely pissed off with the amount of non City fans who have already booked their train tickets for Wembley, one in particular is a Spurs fan who quite often takes the piss out of me about City, when I questioned the twat earlier today he said "I was born in Coventry so I have the right to go and support my local team"
Rant over!!!!
I was refering to LG... It's what a lot on here think they're good at... "Sarcasm"Best thing I've seen you post, Ever!
I take it by Judge and Jury, you refer to yourself?

I don't think anyone minds Coventry fans who live abroad or who now live miles away going,or indeed fans who through poor health,cost or because they just got fed up of the constant failure from going.Can someone tell me the connection between Glory supporters and Coventry City football club i'm struggling to make the connection... I think anyone who has watched Coventry for any period of time in the last 30 years deserves the chance to watch them at Wembley. Who cares if you go every week now or you just go up for the bigger games, I went every week for years but now times and personal circumstances have changed which means i don't go regular but it doesn't give me less right to go and see them at Wembley, get over yourselves guys..the reality is there's gonna be plenty of tickets to go round.

I think what irks a lot of people, is people in Coventry who support other clubs, and who have openly mocked CCFC, suddenly deciding to become Cov fans for 1 day only. Would much rather their tickets went to exiles from Coventry,who still clearly support the club,albeit from afar.
Won't be happening.If the club is smart it will issue a mini season ticket for remaining home games with seconds dibs on ticket allocation. Subordinated to full season ticket holders
I've been asked by 4 people today (all whom know I've had a season ticket for years (except 6F) )
If I'm going to Wembley.....
"No thought I'd give it a miss, prefer watching us lose to Colchester on a Tuesday night!"
All of our tickets will be sold. The question is how quickly. All that people like myself can do is wait for the second that they come on general sale....if they do.....and hope for the best. At worse I will join you all for a few jars then watch it on TV.Why does anyone care what anyone else does? There's plenty of room at Wembley for anyone who wants to see two Division 3 sides duking it out.
I am hoping to attend Wembley myself although i haven't attended a single game this season,mostly due to the clubs situation of course,now up until this season i regularly attended the RIcoh and before that highfield rd with many a year, "too many to count now" being a season ticket holder.i was at the Cup final of 87 and i remember the 3rd round against Bolton at home,the attendance was just over 12,000,we took more than that to Sheffield weds in the Quarter final..i do NOT see myself as a fan coming out of the woodwork as some will call it,or jumping on the bandwagon,during the 80/90s i was often seen at away games too.

Sylus I think this is a great post , however there are many that believe that supporters like myself and yourself have an inflated view of ourselves. There are several on here that would seemingly like us to have to complete a questionnaire and complete a face to face panel interview to determine if we are truly loyal and deserving supporters. Only then should we be allowed to apply for a ticket.
Yeah. Said I'm not that fussed, but hey the bandwagon's rolling so would be rude not to join in if I could but, if I miss out... my own fault really, innitAll of our tickets will be sold. The question is how quickly. All that people like myself can do is wait for the second that they come on general sale....if they do.....and hope for the best. At worse I will join you all for a few jars then watch it on TV.
I haven't seen anyone saying that and if they are, please show me, so I can go and call them a fucking idiot. You're exactly the type of fan that needs this cup final either as a reward for the shit endured or to try and reinvigorate your desire. It's just the locals that have been PL fans because supporting a shitty local team was beneath them that I wouldn't like to see genuine fans lose out to. Someone will pull Sylus' thread about not giving a fuck though and it is going to make him look like a right hypocrite so he'll get some deserving stick for that, although I doubt anyone would begrudge him a ticket in reality.S

I wouldn't begrudge people tickets, but people throw out big statements like the one last week and then do a complete 180.I haven't seen anyone saying that and if they are, please show me, so I can go and call them a fucking idiot.

I doubt they'll just keep throwing tickets at us! We'll get 40k MAXIMUM!!There really is no_loyalty is there.....
To be fair I'll be coming with 3 mates, two are Spurs fans, one supports United but they've been to Cov with me more than half the folks in Cov have, we've already been to 5 games this season together (from Norfolk) and they want to come along as much as everyone else.
I don't see it being as big an issue as some people are making out, there will be plenty of tickets. If we sell our allocation they'll give us some more, and some more until everybody who wants to go goes.
It's what happens when people make big statements - Wycombe
Last week he didn't care and wanted to tell everybody he didn't care and tell everybody it was a 2nd rate mickey mouse trophy. Last week it was "you" not "we" or "us" but things suddenly reverse.
Aren't you abroad?
Plenty of tickets to go around, better hope so or plenty of glory hunters will be very disappointed!Can someone tell me the connection between Glory supporters and Coventry City football club i'm struggling to make the connection...

Nick.. no big statements from me,i just stated that i couldn't be arsed going,and i didn't, just like all the league games at home this season. and my view of the checkatrade trophy remains the same,however that doesn't mean i don't want to attend Wembley or do i need your permission for that first.We are all in this together,but some more than others
It's not the extra fans 'coming out of the woodwork' most have a problem with tbf! As long as proper fans that actually support city through thick and thin get tickets first.Fans coming out of the woodwork to get tickets for a Wembley final are not unusual by any standards. It's the whole point isn't it to have a little unexpected success and in return the club has tempted the 'lost' fans back? How else would you suggest the club did that?
The same scenario would happen if we were on a run at the top of the table. That's precisely what it is all about to be a football fan.
People are put off by constant failure and only signs of success will bring back the missing.
So I don't blame those fans one bit for coming out the woodwork. Hopefully it helps initiate a few more fans attending a league game again and the response from the team has to be the good this final has brought to their confidence, and post a few wins. If they don't they lose them again.
If this was the FA Cup Final we were talking about,and not the Checkatrade trophy Final everybody who wanted a ticket would get one,one way or another. if you want to be their,you will
Hi Oxford here ....
I will get to work on drawing up the questionnaire then and seek volunteers for the panel.S
