Are they likely to have the usual away end + upper North?

The Police will decide but after the Albion throwing seats incidents I doubt they would put them in the upper North and our fans below, I suspect it will just be the normal away allocation in the upper and lower Doug

Really ? Aren't they entitled to far more tickets or can we limit it to just the regular away section ??

We will offer them the 4,200 they are entitled to but the Police may well limit the number of tickets they actually get

And so they should , tin pot fucking shambles of a club. Let's assume the ticket pricing will reflect our inevitable toilet refurbishment costs post game

Well the price of the tickets will be interesting as I reckon Blues will want them as expensive as they can make them to try and make as much money as they can

Wankers. How much % of the gate proceeds end up in the UnRoyal Bank of Small Heath ?

Albion had around 6300 as FA Cup is 15% of capacity

So there's no way Blues will get the normal away plus Upper North

Perhaps just the Upper North but block off the first few rows ?

Or a few more next to the standard away bit

I'd rather they were nowhere near the pitch myself !

Just give them the whole North Stand.

Might be either for police to control that than putting them in two different stands.

Could we put them in St Andrews and provide a video link?
Everybody's happy

That would be way too big an allocation. No thanks.

Why would we give them an advantage of having support behind a goal? Fuck them, if they can't be trusted to not act like massive dick heads then they should get reduced tickets.

We should give them exactly what they gave us for the LC game in 2010 - about 3k I think? They could have given us the whole Railway End like they do for Albion & Wolves but they didn't, so let's just give them the bare minimum.

I'd also like to think we're suspending all new Villa Cash memberships until after the cup game too, otherwise there'll be dogshitters signing up just to get tickets.
