Contrary to popular belief, the same currency is in use north of Watford...  Reminds me of my stepmother who came on holiday with us to Berwick but refused to cancel her newspapers at home in case they didn't have them that far north. |

Seems that trains from the stadium back to Coventry are hourly at night and are 21.50 then 22.50. If it is the usual 19.45 kick off, that will probably mean leaving early. Ok if we are 3-0 down, but certainly not if the game is tight!
Could well mean hanging around after the game...

They have been phased out over the last decade, with fifth-round replays axed in 2017-18 and those in later rounds scrapped in 2015. And they are expected to be ditched from the third and fourth rounds too, as part of wider reform of the English football calendar currently under discussion.4 Jan 2024

That is 1500 season ticket holders plus one 800 players family ,friends,dogs ,cats and gerbils 500 sponsors, advertisers and potential investors 200 staff and general hangers on 1000 to people seeing their 2nd and last ever Maidstone game unless we win 800 to people seeing their one and only Maidstone game ever 200 for general sale to actual fans who must queue up in the car park at the Coventry stadium at 04.00 on a wet Tuesday. |

I cant see there being any problem getting tickets, on Tuesday Coventry had a crowd of 19 thousand and Sheffield Wednesday brought 2500 of that....the stadium has a capacity of nearly 33 thousand
My nephew is a Coventry fan and lives up that way, so if by some chance I cant go in the away end (I'd be shocked if we sell our allocation) I will just go in the home end with him.

Met a Chelsea fan at the Yeovil match for his second ever Maidstone game. He had been given a corporate freebie for Ipswich; one of dozens given to just one sponsor. It may have worked in the fact he was now trying out his local club. He seemed particularly excited by the violence. But on balance, I would have preferred that Ipswich ticket went to someone who attends regularly, but is unable for financial or work reasons to commit to a season ticket. This is the kind of thing our owners used to get scrupulously right, but despite previously defending them vehemently, makes me now question their judgement.
