[Albion] Are you in favour of giving Coventry a bigger than 15% allocation?

[Peter Grummit]

Winning this game is worth a decent sum.

£90k minimum extra prize money
£124k minimum TV money (on basis a Q4 if guaranteed a TV slot)
£270k minimum gate receipt money (based on 45% of a 30k gate with an average £20 ticket price)

So, half a mil for winning one game guaranteed with the chance to quadruple that win one additional win and a Wembley semi

I hope we put out a very strong team for this one

Good stats and decent money.

But for me at least its all about the GLORY.

A novel idea give home fans the lower tiers complete and open 1 upper tier for Coventry supporters, however many that holds on 1 side.

We should open all our ground and give Coventry extra tickets.
I upset I am not sitting in my own seat.
Should be a cracker.

Hardly novel when we gave Chelsea WSU.

What complete? As I am sure my sons sat in their seats which are in west stand upper so I do not think it was so.

He means the friendly.

Not likely to open the whole ground when there’s thousands of unsold tickets in East/North and a couple blocks of West

Oh I dont count friendlies because I disagree with the club charging for a practice match but that is a different issue.

It'll make a change to have an atmosphere at the AMEX.


Give them the whole East Stand

Sorry, why the jester symbol? it's true i tell you!

When was the last time Albion reached the FA Cup quarter finals? Can somebody enlighten me please, principally because I'm too lazy to look it up.

 

[kingcole]

Was it Southampton in ‘86?

We was in the 6th round draw a few years back as played Hull on the monday night.

 

[Peter Grummit]

We've only reached the QF twice and the last time was 32 years ago.

That is a tremendous stat to pour cold water on any delusions of grandeur we might have about our place in the pecking order.

Only TWO quarter finals in the history of the cup. We should equal that in the next 3 or 4 seasons...

It's also why I struggle to understand why some are not more excited about the Coventry game. Let's face it, we have NEVER won a major trophy in our history, and if we can beat Cov we are only 3 wins away from doing so.

For the fans, it really shouldn't be about £££ for the club, it should be about the GLORY.

Generally agree. The only shame is that we could still be around 500/1 to win those 3 games...

Well I am excited about the Coventry game and I am really hoping to go to it.
Proper cup tie, and the Coventry fans will really add to it and should be given more tickets,we should win but every chance of an upset.
Hope we can fill the Amex and make it a great old school FA cup day out.

We're (best price) 50/1 currently (7th favourite).

But what about the magic of the cup. Tin foil cups, jumpers for goal posts and all that.

Absolutely, and if the supermarkets of Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne, Worthing, Crawley, Hastings and beyond have still got any tin foil left after all the junkies and chasing the dragon 'I only do it at the weekends' middle classes have got hold of it the Amex should be awash with FA Cup replicas big and small. Bring it on.

Mental odds.

An accumulator on us to beat Cov and then 3 of the big guns could pay 200/1 and double that if QF was Man City away...
