Just been on the Coventry forum. They are not impressed.

Oh well, never mind.

Ah well.......we're not over chuffed

Five games were televised last year. That's 5 of 8.

Assuming it's the same number this year who would be your 5...

Sheffield Wednesday v Notts County/Swansea
West Brom v Southampton
Chelsea v Hull
Leicester v Sheffield United
Huddersfield/Birmingham v Manchester United
Millwall/Rochdale v Newport County or Tottenham
Brighton v Coventry
Wigan v Manchester City

Any idea in the time slots mate? Is it 1 Friday, 1 sat lunch, 1 evening and 2 Sunday?

I would have thought £10 could be a good call. Any more than that and it will be half empty.

Which on previous experience may be exactly what they want- it’s less hassle to run the place when less people turn up I guess. #lazy

£20 including travel and the Amex will be bursting.

Great draw. I just hope the club learn from their mistake of round 3 and make tickets £15 max. That should ensure a big crowd.

 

[LowKarate]

Five games for TV.

Sheffield Wednesday v Notts County/Swansea
West Brom v Southampton
Huddersfield/Birmingham v Manchester United
Millwall/Rochdale v Newport County or Tottenham
Wigan v Manchester City

Hoping they give us a miss.

TV won’t be able to resist Utd, City, Spurs, Chelsea so one from the remaining four. Probably WBA v Southampton as it’s all premier league.

This. It's the fifth round of the FA cup. Coventry fans will make a noise.

The BIG4 pick themselves.

Leicester v Sheff Utd as well, I reckon.

I hope we are not on the telly. Like the idea of a 3PM K.O. on a Saturday.

Who cares if the plastics can't turn up, wrong day, too expensive, Coventry fans too rough. Let proper fans turn up.

 

[Shooting Star]

Will gauge the opinion at work but I'd have thought it would be a great tie for them seeing as it's a weekend on the coast. I have a feeling they'd have preferred another west mids team though maybe.

Web site showing game on Sat 17th. Time to be confirmed

Will we allow JMD to play?

I would imagine there would be no chance of that being allowed!

 

[kennyb]

I confidently predict we will NOT be one of the games chosen for tv, in my view we would be the least attractive game for tv

TV games won’t have been chosen yet. It will be subject to change.

Good draw for us but not good overall as all the big teams were kept apart!
