Sheffield Wednesday v Swansea would be of interest for live coverage on the box. Carlos potentially making a quick return to Hillsborough.

I'm delighted with this. Home tie, another chance for the stiffs to shine against a solid in form team and what should be a massive and loud away crowd. I presume JMD can't play?

Correct. Would be pretty stupid to let him play and then he scores a winner against us!

At what stage of the cup do you think a full strength team should be fielded?
Or stick to the back ups as they've got the club this far?

£10 tickets otherwise another low crowd.
This.
Unless there's a TV company sympathy vote for the sad plight of the 1987 winners.
They still will though.

Coventry could be lowest place team still left in the competition so I wouldn't write it off being on TV.

This 100% will be on tv
That and they are likely to be the lowest ranked club still in it.
They showed Burnley v Lincoln at the same stage last season - not a million miles away in terms of the club's profiles and league standings. Coventry probably have more of a story for the reason you state.

I know we have to allow a certain minimum amount of seats for away fans in the FA Cup (10% is it?) - I don't know for definite. But in this case, I think PB should see the benefit of letting them have a lot more seats - and not over-pricing them either. Can't see any reason why we can't accommodate 5 - or even 10 - thousand Cov. fans......so long as we make the home tickets cheap enough so that home fans don't get seriously outnumbered.

At the same stage last year, Conference side Lincoln won away to Premier League side Burnley. That match was televised. As Coventry are the lowest ranked side left and drawn away to a Premier League team, I'd say there is a fair chance of the game being selected for TV if there are 5 ties being broadcast, not least because Coventry have already eliminated one Premier League side which has created interest in their cup run and indeed there is a "back story" with them being memorable former FA Cup winners who have fallen a long way due to the mismanagement of their club.
Looking forward to this one.. always had a soft spot for Coventry since that Houchen diving header (back in the days that the FA Cup actually meant something to people) and pleased to see them challenging at the right end of the table... hopefully the club price it sensibly and both sets of fans turn out to create an atmosphere and bring some of the romance back to the cup. 3pm Saturday kickoff for me please.. TV can sod off and let us have this one.
