    The FA says the fans are the lifeblood of the game - treat them like they are then. If that had been us, how many could have got down to North London for a Friday night kick off?

    That's wrong, totally wrong.

    Could understand it if it was 2 London teams, but Coventry fans have to allow 2 hours minimum for that journey, on a Friday evening.

    Confirms yet again, fans are not the priority......TV is the priority.

    Id have gone but I can get to the Emirates in a couple of hours from work so would have bunked off a bit early. Not that many from Barnsley could do it without taking a half day

    I bet a lot of Coventry fans are rightly annoyed at that - I am sure they will go but its kicking even more sand in their face

    Doubt we'd have been a TV game. It's just because Coventry are a 'sleeping mini-giant' and they have to have the big teams on anyway!
