    Im pretty annoyed about the Cov to be honest, planned the drive to Northampton etc and when i initially found out its at the Ricoh i was pleased as done Sixfields 3 times but never been to the Ricoh.
    However to change a game to a Friday night 2 weeks prior to the game is ridiculous, i have no chance of getting out of London in time up to Coventry, really poor from the football league. Additionally, we also have an abundance of silly away Tuesday nigth fixtures, Swindon, Peterborough, Preston, Chesterfield off the top of my head, now the first 2 are do-able but no chance on the latter, how are we supposed to support our club on these fixtures? Gone are the days of sensible local midweek fixtures.

    Looking at our 2 most local away fixtures, we have Colchester put on Boxing day when we'll be crossing the bridge with half the world heading to Ikea, and Orient on Easter Monday when the underground will clearly have some closures. I just don't see their logic in it.

    Apologies for the rant but it makes life a lot harder when the football league don't consider away fans, how do people actually make the long distance away games in the week?!

    I can see your frustration but with the amount of games in a season and the amount of teams contesting the league it is impossible to not have a few frustrating long away days and lets me honest I doubt many north western clubs are relishing coming all the way down to kent on a Tuesday!

    Do we get any added money out of the Coventry match due to the fact it's televised? Being the away side and all I assumed you'd get a cut out of the tickets you sold but...?
