The Sky Blue Trust have said that Coventry City supporters (and travelling Arsenal fans) will face a rush to get to the Emirates Stadium for the FA Cup Fourth Round tie on January 24th.
BT Sports have announced that they will be showing the game live and have put it in their 7.45pm on Friday slot.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Jan Mokrzycki, a Sky Blue Trust spokesman said: “The general reaction seems to be that it is not a very good idea because people are going to have to take time off work and some people might not be able to go. If it had been a Saturday we could have sold about seven or eight thousand – on a Friday night we will probably take four or five [thousand].
“It’s almost going to be straight from school, straight on to a coach, straight down there. It could have been a nice day out – to get down is going to be a rush.
"There will be those who just can’t make it because Dad doesn’t finish work until five or whatever. Basically supporters are the least of the minor considerations – it’s money first, money second, money third and oh yeah there’s the supporters.”
