Think it will be less than last night. 20,500 I'm going for. Been an expensive period for Cov fans and last night seemed to disappoint some.

Disappoint really ? too many people playing FIFA

 

[slowpoke]

At least the same as yesterday I’d say 24000

 

[Evo1883]

23500

 

[pusbccfc]

A lot again will depend on Saturday. Lose and drop out of the play offs and it won't help.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

It'll be 24k versus the Baggies, being on a Saturday.

 

[Evo1883]

And a better atmosphere too , Saturday always seems better than midweek for me

Well theres no game for most cov fans this weekend.

Cant see there being 2500 less Coventry fans than last night.

Will be another 22-23 k game.

Yeah 23k is not far off what I think. Surely there won't be more Cov fans there against West Brom than last night?

12:30 and on Sky again will put people off. £30 too.

Why would there be more Cov fans for Blues on a Tuesday night than for Albion on a Saturday afternoon?
Both on Sky.
More kids, elderly and disabled come to afternoon games also.

Birmingham is a much more appealing game than West Brom surely? Not sure anyone would consider West Brom as any sort of derby match.

If we lose Saturday and drop out of the top 6, there will be a steep drop for the West Brom game. Maybe 16-17k Coventry there.

It's still a fair crowd.

Not a derby match? 28 miles away from Coventry

12.30 kick offs always seem a bit lacklustre!

Not sure I've ever heard West Brom considered any sort of rivalry. Villa, Leicester, Birmingham and Wolves ahead of it. Even Sunderland (meh) is a greater rivalry than with West Brom.

Fulham game was alright.

All of those factors existed for the Blues game plus some possible worries from some quarters about trouble. The gate v WBA should be bigger, probably the biggest of the season to date.

I would agree with you. On paper I’m more excited for the game versus Stoke City on the 18th December.

West Brom are a bit like Walsall for me. Travel in fairly good numbers for local games but can’t think of any non-generic songs they sing and they just sit down quietly until they score.

It might be that it’s a 12:30 kick off again that’s subdued my excitement.

I’d disagree with you. Maybe they’ve never been big rivals but West Brom are far more appealing to watch than Blues, who for as long as I can remember, going back to the 70s when Donal Murphy kicked Kenny Burns in the balls, have always been a non footballing, shithouse team, with thugs masquerading as footballers.

West Brom have always had better footballers than Birmingham, have traveled in numbers and always seemed to be a bogey team of ours, certainly from the late 70s. When I was started watching us it was a derby match and to my mind it still is.

We can't drop out of the playoffs at the weekend

I'll be impressed if it is.

Back to back £30 games is a lot for the non-season ticket/match package holder.

Granted Saturday is a better day for some, but Birmingham is a bigger game for many.

500 extra away fans will help the number but I'll be shocked if there are more home fans against West Brom than against Peterborough or Derby.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

I think over 20000 but less than Birmingham game in total.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

We are going into December in the top 6, who would of thought that in August, if we can stay there until after the Luton game on New Year's day I really think we'll kick even more as under Robins we've always improved second half of the season, a couple of signings or loans to strengthen the squad here and there and then shift a few players on.

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

The baggies are a fine club, with a great history and the knack of bouncing back from their low periods with apparent ease. They were our ultimate bogey side and we took some absolute thrashings from them over the years.

 

[CovBrummie94]

Hate West Brom just for the 0-4 and 0-5 hammerings they gave us at the Ricoh in 2007 and 2008 when I was a kid.

The Lord's my Shepherd is a non generic song

Never seen us not lose less than 3 goals against West Brom.
Didn't they smash us at home in the following round after the win at Old Trafford too?

We lost to West Ham in the next round. Very unlucky. We went 1-0 up.

Yep you're right! Just looked and it was the FA Cup the same season
Lost 5-0...

I’ve genuinely just had to Google that! When you said the Lord is my Shepherd, the first thing that sprung to mind was the Vicar of Dibley, not WBA - which sums it up!

We had Dowie's assistants taking charge of that game that had a rugby background and will never forget the defenders flagging for offside from the WBA throw in!

I was at both of those too. We did win the away fixture 4-2 that season, I wasn't at that one

It was a league game on sky but think they win 4-0 and then 5-0 in the cup later that season. This was a year or two after we lost 5-0 at the Hawthorns. Our record against them is abysmal
