Where does it say about free travel? not that it matters to me anyway.....

Can't see us selling 6,000, was thinking we'd get 4,000 (10% of St Andrews) and that seemed more realistic. Well whatever it should be a decent day and hopefully we can it more like a home game for us.....though I think Birmingham fans are a tad more noisy than a 3/4 full Reebok!

I'll be there, with Verbal and other mates it seems. Few sound interested. Balls to coaches though. 12.45 kick off, plenty time for an afternoon pub wandering and sorrow drowning.

I thought St Andrews was about 28,000?

Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Almost certain it's 30K. It's one of those just bigger than the Reebok jobs. Spose how many we get depends on how many they think they can shift. Hopefully Carling Cup means they're all skint. Tis only a fooking hour on the train. Should be massive.

By rights we should be allowed the full end

glass houses n'all that, but ive always thought their support is pretty terrible given they represent country's 2nd largest city, with only one other local club for competition!? always banks of empty seats when you see them on the tele, so i wouldnt worry about them needing the seats.

Wouldn't get too overexcited about free travel, seems the announcement yesterday was a tad premature.

I believe its only existing members of the official travel club who have been offered free coach travel to birmingham.

The ticket prices look great to me. Will definitely be going.

We haven't taken a decent following to St Andrews in as far back as I can remember. In fact, we used to take as many in 1990 as we take now. Hopefully we can turn that around this time.

I can't find it - heard it was only a rumour but someone must've seen something regarding free travel (or presumed it was free)..
