    I wouldn't fancy going by coach to Stoke.

    "Away coaches can park in the South Car Park at Edgeley Park". Edgeley Park??? :joy:, that's going to be some walk to the ground.

    EDIT: The Club have now corrected it to "Away coaches can park in the South Car Park at the bet365 Stadium".

    Due to the close proximity of the game, postage is not available.

    Please allow 48 hours where possible, before collecting from the ticket office.

    There are limited collections on the day available; therefore, please collect from the Valley Parade Ticket Office by 5.00pm Monday August 25.

    ------------------

    Assume the limited collections on the day is from the ground? I, like probably many others, don't live in Bradford and with there not being another home game will need to collect from Stoke?

    Walsall had a late extra allocation of tickets and their website stated "Please note, all tickets purchased from this final allocation will be for collection only from Stoke", so it seems Stoke are able to handle a good number of on the day collections.

    I think the note about limited collection is to try to encourage as many as possible to collect before hand so you don't have 3,000 trying to collect on the night. If you can't get to VP to collect I would imagine you'll be fine just try not to arrive last minute as I'd imagine there will be a lot of people unable to collect

    Lots of choice on ticket site where to sit and stand in different blocks.
    Seats allocated at point of printing apparently.

    I know it's not cheap, but there's no reason why City couldn't offer Royal Mail's Guaranteed Next Day Deliver Service in such circumstances.

    I know.
    It shouldn't, but it will put people off.
    I'm ok. Got mate to pick ours up, and I know you can get them at the ground but some just can't be bothered.

    Have we shifted many tickets?

    cheap prices. Blackburn was a cracking night. Let’s hope for another.

    they won 2-1 this weekend.

    Over 2.5k apparently.
    All coaches from City Away days and Bingley and Shipley Bantams are sold out.
    Corn Dolly still has seats available.
    Out of 6 seating blocks available last week there's only one left.

    It's been an expensive start to the season for fans,5 away games out of the first 7 matches.

    Certainly has.
    I've been to every away game bar Northampton.
    Got Stoke and Doncaster tickets and train is booked ready for Cardiff.
    Then it's Rotherham and Stevenage as the next away mathes which we will be attending plus a glamour tie in rd3 of the cup after beating Stoke lol

    Looking at the seating plan we had block 35-37 and it looks like they've sold out. Going on what I've seen them given teams in the league it looks like we'll get block 38 as well.

    I'm not surprised, I thought we would get close to selling out. There's a lot of positivity around the club, a good win in the last round, a new ground for most fans and any that have been haven't seen City play there for over 20 years. It's also at the end of the School holidays so a chance for kids to go.

    Very tough game ahead. Stoke seem to have turned the ship around after a number of years of decline since they were relegated from the premier league.

    A free hit for us with no expectation or pressure. So hopefully we can cause an upset. Would expect a few changes again given the fixture load. I wonder if he’ll rotate the wingbacks, so far they’ve played almost every minute and they must cover more ground than most.
