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.

In that case I envisage a Saturday lunch time kick off on BBC, so it's not a particular dent on otherwise modest viewing figures at that time.

Looking at their fans' forum they are unexcited but not unoptimistic against a side that will be focussed on a relegation fight and putting out their second string. Appreciative of support for a SISU-out protest and I really hope we can give that a go. I'm not sure what the south end can actually accommodate. Their maximum allowance is 4500 but I've an idea we can only fit 3.5k to 4k in that end. Could be wrong though and hopefully the price will be attractive. My guess would be no travel (not enough time to organise it?) and £20 as the base line before concessions.

I'm not sure why there'd be not be inclusive travel, at least for logistical reasons - it was included in the Palace £25 tickets in the third round.

If we didn't even manage 15,000 for the Palace game in 3rd round then it could be just the North stand and the South stand

Barber's pricing plan will determine the attendance, plus a bit of luck with the match kept on a weekend day time.

If he wants a huge crowd and at the same time make a great PR move, £15 for adults would be fantastic.

Why on earth would there be no travel?

That would kill any chance of a decent attendance.

There will be 4,500 cov fans, where do you expect them to park?

I would expect them to get a train or bus. Hardly expensive in terms of the cost of an away trip :shrug:
Depends if you want to keep the ticket price down.

Usually travel isn't included in the ticket price for cup games is it? Only league games automatically have it included.

Arsenal had 4500 in the cup game didn’t they a few years back?

Totally pointless Showing Chelsea thump Hull. City nailed on and Man Utd at Udders also

Man City will be 1st choice as a BBC pick, BT Sport then get 2nd choice so will choose Man Utd. BBC will then get 3rd pick and will choose the team who will get the highest viewers.
