M6 El Classico (1 Viewer)

[Gint11]

Nipped onto Crewes forum to see their opinions and spotted a 'League 1' article:

[h=1]Coventry 'Sell Out' Initial Allocation[/h]Coventry City have this morning sold their complete allocation of advanced tickets for Saturdays local derby with Walsall.

Coventry had been given an initial 600 tickets and these were sold last week. Another 500 tickets were on sale this morning and these were sold within hours.

Coventry have confirmed that a further 500 tickets will be available on the day of the game.

With both sides currently unbeaten and occupying first and third respectively, a crowd of over 6,000 is expected for what some are shamefully calling the 'M6 EL CLASSICO'....yeah it is cringeworthy isn't it?!

Ha ha M6 El Classico!!!!!!!

Didn't Walsall use that last year on adverts for the game?

Is that all the Bescott holds 6000 ?

How do they get round this SCMP then ?

If this was the old days there would be a minimum of 6000 Cov fans alone turn up !

They rent the ground to Villa for either their reserves or youth team (or possibly both) and also rent it out for regular car boot sales. Sure there's other things they do to generate income as well.

Their ground holds over 11,000

They were the days when you rowdy old buggers broke the wooden gates down to get in.................they stopped making them of wood though in 1958.

First time i went to Walsall, Fellows Park, was 1963 early on and we were on a similar run as we are now, we won 3-0. This was pre-hooligan days but one of the special trains and there were a few, got wrecked by some morons and the Sky Blue specials were created to prevent that shit.
