A small crowd is expected at Ashton Gate tonight for the JPT Southern Section Area Semi-Final game between Bristol City and Coventry City.
Bristol City have sold just over 2,000 tickets for the game whilst the Sky Blues had last night over three hundred tickets left in their allocation of 1,119.
Bristol City boss Steve Cotterill told the Western Daily Press: "I don't like it that we are not going to have many fans there for such an important game.
"I understand there is the question of cost when we have three home games in six days and that people may have decided to watch the FA Cup game against Telford and the League game against Crawley and give this one a miss.
"If Coventry have seven or eight hundred fans behind one goal, it is going to be like a home game for them.
"That makes it difficult for our players. When we've used all three sides of the ground, the atmosphere has been fantastic. When we only use two sides, it is a bit more difficult to create an atmosphere.
"Ideally, you want your fans in both ends and, if not, then in one end with the away fans up in the rafters where they cannot influence the game and have an impact."
