WMbcfc Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Allocation would be about 7000. Could see us selling about 5000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap flinger Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I think we would sell out, not had much to celebrate in recent years so a top club away would appeal to the masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BcFcOneLove Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 We would sell out whatever the allocation! The last time we had a similar tie was Liverpool 20 years ago and we sold out then, something like 9,000..even though Liverpool didn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Think someone else mentioned it, the amount of fans who would buy a ticket simply because of it being Man City and not go to other games makes me wish there was some sort of system in place that if you produce a ticket from a previous round of the cup you can get a ticket before general sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 We would take 10k plus,if they gave us that many tickets. Also,don't forget Liverpool was a midweek evening game,this would be 3pm Saturday. if we get there could be changed for tv coverage. as long as ST holders get priority then the rest will be swept up by everyone else. can't see us not selling out our allocation. Matches like this dont come around too often. still a big if though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I agree with all the earlier posts, if it was to be Manchester City v Bristol City we would sell 7000 easily. And before people talk too much about fans coming out of the woodwork, remember that there are close on 12000 at the Gate every week for League One football, it would only need just over 50% of them to travel to fill the allocation.

TheRedHalf Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Really hoping this game gets moved to the Sunday for the tele so I can get time off work! Can see it happening considering there are no big derby games or top 10 clashes in the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Allocation would be about 7000. Could see us selling about 5000 Watford were given 6000 and sold out the lot in last season's fa cup so we may only get that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 We would take 10k plus,if they gave us that many tickets. Also,don't forget Liverpool was a midweek evening game,this would be 3pm Saturday. TV and Police permitting. Man C v a league 1 outfit could be a draw for TV who won't be showing a 3.00pm Saturday start. Are man U due to be at home in the League that day? If so the game could potentially be moved to anywhere between Friday night and Monday night of that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also,don't forget Liverpool was a midweek evening game,this would be 3pm Saturday. Whats really important is that we take a big crowd to watford, lets forget the Ethiad for now. As Watford's ground is under construction, it lacks the intimidation factor as it is, if we could get say 3,000 up there, then i think that and the man city draw could inspire the team on to something special on a cold january tuesday night?

ChippenhamRed Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 All the part timers would come out the woodwork like Wembley too, IF we get there I'll be there for sure The "part timers" tag always annoys me. I'm a part timer by necessity, because I have two young kids and don't have the time or the money to go every week. Therefore I cherry pick my games and, yes, a trip to the Etihad would certainly be near the top of the list. Don't see anything wrong with that.

Fodbarmyarmy Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Would've been much better at Maine Road! Went there on one of those "Football specials" ran by the club and British Rail On arrival at Manchester the law packed us all into waiting double decker buses and escorted them to a park near Maine Road , many a skin touched glass that bus ride i can tell you, then they marched us all up the little coronation streets to the ground with all the residents standing in their doorways watching us go by... The law were being quite bullish during the escort and at one point when a chant started up the main dude on his horse shouted "no singing" so after a few seconds silence everyone began humming....

CITYAREREDANDWHITE Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Watford were given 6000 and sold out the lot in last season's fa cup so we may only get that? Thought the minimum was 15% of all capacity. The stadium hold 48,000 so were aloud at minimum 7,200 tickets but can ask for more, and it's not likely to sell out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Can't get excited by the (potential) tie if I'm honest 20 years ago, at Maine Road, when we'd have stood half a chance then yeah, I'd have been up for it. Going to The Etihad to play Citeh's 4ths - I'll give that a miss thanks Can only think that if we do get through, and get an absolute bollocking up there that it may just derail any momentum we had under SC As nice as a Cup run would be, I'd rather it was happening whilst we aren't fighting relegation to Division 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
