Coventry have had to find a club willing to host this who don’t have a home game midweek & I doubt there were too many offers. There is a full programme of games in midweek next week & so Coventry’s options seem to have been give us a bye (which they would have done anything to avoid) or this. Interesting to see what they do next week, when they are due to be home again. Oh no a moan at the club at all, just the situation as a whole is a shambles. Can’t imagine Pearson et al are happy in the slightest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd imagine Coventry are still deemed to be the home side. They'll get the home dressing room, they get listed first on the results etc etc. I'm mainly annoyed I don't get to tick off a new stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make the Gas look like a team with a settled home. It's starting to feel like @ExiledAjax might not need to worry about the Ricoh as a 'new ground' because it might not be a league ground for very much longer..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Believesham Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 3 hours ago, East Londoner said: I see Coventry are refunding all home tickets sold and making it pay on the day. What could possibly go wrong As tickets have been taken off sale our end, my first thought was also to look at what Coventry were doing. It does appear to be almost the complete opposite of City, fills me with confidence too. Bristol City offering refunds, Coventry City enforcing refunds. Bristol City fans (as things stand) can only attend with a pre-booked ticket, Coventry City fans can only attend if they pay on the day. I, like an earlier poster, had left it late to make plans. I thought that was a wise move after their game at Rotherham was in doubt on Saturday! As it looks like it's going to be cash only on the turnstile there should not be a problem with other fans getting to the game but I'll be keeping an eye on the official advice. I also fully expect to arrive at the Pirelli to find some of the advice has not been properly understood/relayed correctly - even if I had a ticket, I would take cash to be on the safe side. 2 hours ago, italian dave said: How does that work for a team that never gets a pen? The team that went out on penalties in the same round of the same competition last year? I think it puts us at a disadvantage! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't fancy waiting for the 3.57am from Derby into St. Pancras at 6am I’m using real times trains because i work in the industry. It won’t be shown on journey planners as the connection time at Birmingham officially is 15 minutes but at 2300 shouldn’t be an issue. Alternatively if you take that 2141 and stay on till Birmingham you’ll have a more leisurely connection onto the 2310 Edited August 9, 2022 by East Londoner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusX Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Sorry if this has been discussed, I landed back in the country last night and heard about the game being moved I was going with a friend who lives in Coventry, he cant get to Burton so I need a refund on one ticket. I wont know until about 5pm whether I can make tonight, Burton's about an extra 30 - 40 minutes away from me so it depends how my first day back at work goes as to whether I get away in time. Has anyone received a refund yet? i've emailed customer services but not had a response yet. I want to know if I can apply tomorrow for the refund if I don't make it tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon I should chance it and turn up? Might have to go in the 'home' end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
