Whilst staying in the Premier League, appears to be the main priority for Blackburn Rovers, Coventry City supporters have been snapping up tickets for the FA Cup Fifth Round game on Saturday at Ewood Park.

The initial 4,100 allocation has more or less been sold and City have applied for more tickets and are hoping to have those on sale today.

The club and travel provider Harry Shaw are also trying to source more vehicles after 25 coaches were fully booked.

Tickets for the game is £15 adults and £5 concessions whilst coach tickets are £10 per person and anyone planning on going is advised to get a ticket/coach booking as soon as possible.

You can get them from the ticket office at the Ricoh Arena or by phoning 0844 873 1883 (option 2).

City's Commercial Director Nathan Kosky told the club website: "Since the tickets went on general sale, there has been a real buzz. That was definitely helped by the great result against Wolves on Saturday - and the manner in which Chris Coleman's team won the game.

"Nobody here is underestimating the difficulty of the task against Blackburn but I am sure that the win over Wolves has generated great excitement and the fans are really keen to get behind the team.

"We've spoken to Blackburn about further tickets so there will be some on sale on Wednesday and, if they were to go, we have the option for more.

"The excitement is also spilling over into the Birmingham game too as we have had more interest in that game than we would normally so far in advance of a home match.

"The atmosphere against Wolves - especially in the second half - was fantastic and we would love to recreate that at Blackburn and then again for the Birmingham match."
