    That was changed a couple of years ago after pressure from the associations, next Wednesday the merseyside derby is on the same time as Champions League matches

    Blues fans see it as a 28000 sell out.
    We can ask for 2800 which is usually the away allocation.
    Reading their forum they're all booking trains and hotels for Wembley already.
    Really hope we beat them and have a following there to enjoy it.
    Maybe £15 a ticket.
    Don't know what our cut is.

    45% to each club with the remaining 10% into the EFL pool account. So far Birmingham have only played 2 home games like us with attendances of 9,700 against Walsall and 6,900 against Fulham u21s.
    The trophy rules seem to a flat 10% allocation away clubs are entitled to rather than 10% up to 2,000 like in the league so plenty of ticket with nearly 3,000 if they open up the full stadium. I'd imagine we'll take quite a few with it being a semi final and a new stadium or a stadium people haven't been to for a while.

    I’d expect us to sell out the away end for this game.
    We took 800 to Villa for a kids game.

    I know Twitter isn’t the best place to judge a fan base on. But yikes, I’ve just read the comments the Birmingham fans have been making about the draw. Maybe the most arrogance I’ve seen before, hope the players read it in advance.

    Their fans are added to my shit list.

    Their forum is full of similar comments, although tempered by a handful who are warning them not to count their chickens. They seem to think we will only want 1000 tickets.

    We took 1100 to Rotherham for the quarter final. This will be a new ground for a lot and certainly one we haven't visited for a while. It's a game the team is playing. Whether you attend or not doesn't mark you out as a true fan.

    Always has been.
    Been a few times in the 90’s and they really get the crowd going pre game.
    Then they have “Keep right on” and it’s very loud.
