What was the initial allocation ? 5,000 ? Are you saying we have already sold 4,750 to ST holders alone in 3 days ? If that is the case we should be taking up the full entitlement of 9,000 and shouting the roof off their ground.

No, Tao you've only taken 2300 to the Molineux.

We have currently taken the first allocation of 5100. The club will be taking the other 3200.

who said villa fans weren't fickle?

some season ticket holders don't bother with home league games, moan constantly about Lerner and McLeish but they'll knock their gran out the way to get a free ride on a Hardings.

If it makes you feel better, I am a season ticket holder, I miss a few home games, and I moan a lot about chairman and manager, but can confirm that the idea of spending 3 hours each way on a coach with the sort of pissed up fifteen year old bell ends free coach travel attracts is about as appealing as having my testicles walked over by Richard Dunne.

That's unfair. It's still £35 for an adult ticket and thousands are willing to give over  the whole of their Sunday to back us in a contest where the bookies will still have Arse as favourites to go through. Money is tight for a lot of people and the free travel just makes it a more economically realistic choice for many. Hopefully, with us having almost as many away fans for this as Wolves/SHA could muster between them for a local derby game tonight, the Cup will weave a little magic in our favour.

Travelled by coach a couple of times last season due to being on crutches.  Before even leaving the car park for one game, there was a young lad collapsed in the car park due to being totally p****d.  An ambulance had to be called.

He never made it to the game.

We shall be making alternative travel arrangements for the cup game.

Quite - you must have been on the same coach as me against Chelsea in the league cup.

Something like this must surely take up a massive proportion of Birmingham's coach capacity. Hardings as mentioned, Den Caney, Ellisons, Hollywood, all the big dogs of the coach world will be coiniing it in.

They'll probably have to resort to hiring Transits from Shirley-U-Drive.

There was a cup final in Cardiff where Arsenal were hiring coaches from Belgium.
