Muddle In New Malden

Last updated : 07 November 2013 By RD

What a total cock up AFC Wimbledon and Coventry City FC have created for tomorrow’s FA Cup clash in South West London.

The match is no longer all ticket and both clubs are desperately scrabbling around trying to offload surplus tickets.

Visiting supporters (were) are reminded that all away tickets for this match should be purchased directly from Coventry City FC.

So we have the crazy situation where many regular CCFC Away fans who are not season ticket holders (that’s most of us) were scrabbling around South West London wearing false beards and using local addresses to obtain tickets.

That ‘New Model Army’ of CCFC the 200 or so season ticket holders are clearly not heading down the M40 tomorrow evening in any numbers.

It ‘beggars belief’ that the ‘Powers that be’ could not have forecast this would be the end game.

However our owners will not be too worried as their match fee will be £67,500 (which is the equivalent to receipts for an attendance of 5000-6000 at Northampton).

Onwards we go in this ‘crazy’ season where Pressley and Co are doing a magnificent job as are the fans if only ‘the rest of them’ could sort it out and we would be  playing in front of 20,000 Crowds at the Ricoh.

At least MK Dons are alive to the opportunity ?
