Coventry City (Home) - The Emirates Football Association Challenge Cup Quarter-Final; 16th March - 12:15pm

[Mile End Wanderer]

Was it flat at the Whorethrones?

Away end is different let’s see what Molineux can do for the cup

 

[Pagey]

Who the **** are chaventry

That's another one marked off my bingo board.

 

[SuperGran]

If you've ever been to Coventry you will know exactly why they are often referred to in that way....

Been to Coventry loads got friends that live there.
Then again got lots of mates in london who have never referred to it as ‘The smoke’ so maybe it’s a wickedism

 

[Pagey]

Was it flat at the Whorethrones?

And another, only one more for a line.

 

[5 - Lescott]

I had what I thought at the time was an odd response from Fan Services the other day because I noticed my daughters 100 points hadnt been added for being member on top of the points earned so far from buying tickets.

The response said not to worry as they dont sell tickets decided by loyalty points anymore.

So maybe now Im thinking theres no staggered points windows as there is enough available tickets for all members?

Dont take this as an official line - still get in early if you can

 

[Peszkywolf]

Think people got in the pubs early cos it was a rare BCD. You need fans to have had a few beers for the atmosphere to buzz. Hopefully the pubs do a great trade and open early for this one. Looking forward to it!

How many for a full house?

 

[lets all have a disco]

12.15 kick off all for television FA Cup quarter-final: Wolves vs Coventry date and televised details revealed

Atmosphere will be so flat

Not another excuse for the atmosphere.....a quarter final of a cup the atmosphere should be electric regardless of the kick off time...

Given that other posters have referred to them as the Chavs methinks not....

Nah I reckon it's to maximize ticket sales and reduce admin for them. They better do loyalty windows if we get to Wembley mind. It worked well last time

Well thats beyond poor if so. Memberships are on sale still now so in theory u can buy a membership today have been to zero games and beat me to a ticket and I havent missed league or cup at home yet

You’re telling me. Let’s hope it is

 

[wesley]

I think the publicity the Gary o'Neil Barmy Army Brighton effect has had will ramp up the atmosphere naturally

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Think what they r saying is no loyalty point windows, so someone who's never been before can gt tkt same time as someone who has been to them all

Ah ok thank you

The kick off wasn't moved, it was never set to start with, all the quarters were always going to be shown. Flat atmosphere for a full house quarter final at home? I don't think so.

 

[Wolf316]

When they binned off the loyalty point system a few years ago they said at the time they’d still be used for the cup which I took to mean if we get to Wembley.

 

[JohnB]

Atmosphere will be amazing. Cov with 4,500 fans will be up for it and we’ll respond.

Cunha standing on a barrier at front of South Bank leading the chants?

No complacency, tough game as we’re better on break/transition at moment.

 

[Golden_Wolf]

I thought there were loyalty points used for the Albion game?

 

[Henry Palfrey]

Awful lot of people on social media talking about who we play in the sem final, lot of disrespect to Cov…hope it doesnt come back to bite us.

The team won't take it lightly. That's what matters.

 

[Minimalist]

I thought there were loyalty points used for the Albion game?

Coz it was an away game. Had to stagger how season ticket holders applied.

Idea is that all members are equal now though.

 

[Clifton Wolf]

Trying to book my season ticket seat online for this and it’s saying sold out, which clearly it can’t be. Frustrating

 

[Clifton Wolf]

Now working, trying to book my tickets. Tried 2 payment cards and both saying unauthorised. The ticketing system is extremely poor based on this mornings experience

 

[WickedWolfie]

Now working, trying to book my tickets. Tried 2 payment cards and both saying unauthorised. The ticketing system is UTTER AND COMPLETE CRAP based on this mornings experience

Fixed that for you... I ended up one seat away from my own for the Brighton game for no obvious reason, go figure....

 

[cowshed]

Friday or Saturday evening would be best

Depends where you live

 

[Kebab Warrior]

The new ticketing system is a load of absolute garbage, its is really, really bad.

Earlier I tried two different devices in both Safari and Chrome and on checkout I kept getting a message saying I hadn’t entered payment type - despite no such option appearing on screen. On about the tenth try a little drop down magically speared for me to select card type.

Jeff - whoever is doing your dev for this needs replacing.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Think I must be the only one who's never had problems on the site, clicked link from email, straight to my reserved STs n just paid, I thought it was easy,

 

[Bugsy911]

The sites an abomination and I do tech for my job so it's not my side messing up.

Me too absolutely no problems

 

[SuperGran]

Me too absolutely no problems

A few hiccups early on but having to navigate it for every home game I’m completely used to it now and have no issues

 

[Titch]

Tried the app no joy.
Tried 3 different Web browsers no joy.
Phoned up and got my seat sorted the old fashioned way!

Just don't know what to expect every time I go on, most times it's worked fine?

IF we beat Coventry, I'm not sure how it will handle selling 40k tickets

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

I don't generally have major issues, although it is quite frustrating at times. Have to say on a phone that navigating to pick a specific seat is often annoying. Also the way you can get where you want to go and then get kicked out because you didn't go via the right route! What I don't get though is how there are so many problems when they must be the biggest sellers of tickets in the country by miles, including many football clubs?

 

[Spitfire]

I would have agreed with you until last night, when it took me 3 goes for it to accept my payment.

 

[lostwolf]

Just googled what that means but couldn’t find, help…..what does it mean?

Just my poor attempt at humour: I was implying that you were being a bit of a stuck record, because you'd mentioned about stayaway fans for Brighton a couple of times.

Oh ok can’t recall going on about stay away fans more than once, but happy to believe you on that
However standby my intentions will be a full ground against Coventry even though it is the same price for a cup match against a championship side compared to a premier league team
For the avoidance of doubt I don’t like the stay away fans who moan about and use the excuse of ticket prices when the same fans will turn up for a match at the same prices
If this doesn’t make sense I apologise but Ive had too much to drink and on my way back from a very disappointing day sr Newcastle and it’s took me a lifetime to write this
Pelters expected but not bothered at all

It's fair comment mate. Safe trip home.

I'd say Cov is just your archetypal English large town or small city. A place that boomed post-war with it's manufacturing industries, built loads of mediocre housing (both council and private) in sprawling suburbs, who have a weird accent and a bit of confusion about whether they're west or east Midlands. They also had town planners that did more to destroy the medieval city centre than the Luftwaffe, although as a modernism fan I quite like the pedestrianised centre. What did for them though was the collapse of British manufacturing and Thatcher, they were ****ed over like most of the rest of us. The cathedral(s) is/are my favourite building after the Catholic cathedral in Liverpool (Paddy's wigwam').

I'm not suggesting anyone has to stop using it, but I hate the 'chav' insult: it's just a way for dull middle class (who are mostly really working class folk with no class consciousness) snobs to feel superior.

Score prediction: Wolves 1, Chaventry 0

 

[Sammy Chungs Tracksuit]

Its gonna be a tough game v Coventry in our weakened position. By coincidence I had an email from Coventry City this week asking for fan feedback! I declined and the reason I gave was cos I'm a Wolves fan.
Now you might ask why were Coventry City emailing me? Reason was when we played them at Sixfields in our League One season our away allocation sold out so I bought tickets in the home seating area online! A day after I ordered them I received a very polite phone call from one of their ticket office staff who asked me if I was a Wolves fan (as I had no ticket history and a DY postcode). I fessed up and they said no problem we will give you a seat in the away area. Got a lot of time for Coventry City FC based on their nice admin staff.
