Coventry City have been drawn away to Newcastle United in the FA Cup 4th Round, the tie will take place on Saturday January 29th.

City have played Newcastle at St James Park in an FA Cup Fourth Round tie before. On January 24th 1976, City drew 1-1 at Highfield Road in front of a gate of 32.004 but lost the replay four days later 5-0.

Coventry have not won at St James Park since a 2-1 win in 1987.

Supporters are advised that the away accommodation is up thirteen flights of stairs and anyone who suffers from vertigo or has problems walking should ask for a ticket in the lower tier.

The game will give City supporters their first chance to abuse Craig Bellamy since he left Coventry. The Welshman with a uncontrollable mouth slated the club and its supporters when he moved to Newcastle in 2001.
