    One of my mates that used to coach Under 18 teams up in Nottinghamshire, with me, is now a Director of Coalville Town FC. He contacted me tonight and is really looking forward to the game, they will sell out their allocation for sure.
    They only had 1400 at Notts Co. Was that all they were allocated.

    My Coalville fan mate said they’re “a bit slow at the back but can counter well , won’t  be an easy game if we don’t have our first team out” 






    *I may have made that up 

    was it the bit about having a mate that you made up? ;)

    Charlton are a former Premier League side and Rennocks thinks Coalville could take as many as 3,000 travelling fans to a stadium that holds 27,000.

    It's such a shame it's not at their place as we will barely get any to the game

    Is Coalville a rough area?

    Who needs the Internet when we have Callum.
    If you didn’t have the Internet, you wouldn’t be able to ask that question.

    Put those thousand ‘erberts inside and the crime rate drops to 0.

    To them we are a big club and thats what they wanted. I can't vouch for my mates estimation, but it's the biggest game in their recent history. Smallish ex mining town, I think it'll be a very good turn out.
    I just hope that our fans turn up for the game and help boost Coalvilles coffers.
    It's what the FA cip is all about.

    'you're supposed to be at home'

    You're bringing the missus to this one?
  • Depends on the pricing, £10 and £5 concessions then 7,000 could be possible. 

    I hope Coalville realize that Nottingham would have probably got a bigger home crowd then what we are likely to have.

    Aren't FA Cup prices dictated to us to some degree?

    Yeah I know, I was just hoping that we could help boost their coffers.
    I've just been talking via text to my mate, he said they will find out on Thursday what day its being played, and is hoping for the Saturday.
    He also said he's looking forward to Charltons hospitality, but mentioned he's heard TS is not liked!!
    I've given him a quick 'lowdown' on things all CAFC.....I asked him if he's ever been to The Valley....he's answer was "Yes when Flanagan and Hales were playing up front!"
    He thinks if the game isn't a 3pm Saturday one, then the away support will struggle to get 2k.

    I'm guessing North and West lower only open
    attendance c5k with 2k away fans

    unless they can price it at a tenner/fiver for kids then they might get a few more
  • CAFCTrev
    CAFCTrev Posts: 5,975
    Of course Id love to see this get even a league match level crowd, but realistically it will be just the north and west lower open, and probably a crowd of 4-5k max. 

    Im betting on £15 for a ticket, we seemed to have moved away from that £10 ticket price that used to be the norm for these sorts of games.

    Heard TS is putting on special rates for this to try and draw a crowd. a family of four can get there tickets for only £92.50 (excluding £1.50 online booking fee). Thomas hoping it brings fans in.

    I think the FA dictates a minimum ticket price for the FA cup though, not sure how low he can go. 
  • Important to know that we are still held in some regard in some places. Fair play to them.

    Doubt it, their allocation is likely to be North of 22,000
