Not going to lie I was there yesterday and was massively impressed with the home support, maybe not as long and sustained as ours but very very loud especially considering for the most part they were second best.
It wasn't especially loud on Sky, but they always turn down the background noise. It was quite loud on the radio though.
That’s impressive like. He’s done a great job. Especially under the circumstances.I'm surprised you could hear any form of stadium atmosphere over the constant fangirling of Coventry from the Sky commentators.
Did you know that Mark Robins has taken Coventry from League 2 to the Championship Play Offs in just 5 years?
There were individual seats many of them unsold, I’m not buying it was a sell outThey sold out all the tickets they decided to sell or were allowed to sell, I was looking for a home end ticket and there wasn't even hospitality left.
Now you can slate them for leaving big zones unsold but then I guess it will be the same at the Riverside Weds, sad trend for some reason where clubs feel the need to do that but it is the way for some reason
There was. They gave us 2,000 tickets for a section that holds about 2,400Let's not start acting like mackems over tickets sold, there was a chunk of empty seats in our end yesterday as. I'm sure there's a reason for that as well rather than us not selling out.
Clearly a % of seats aren’t sold because of stadium configuration, when segregating. That’s all fair. The point being made here is there was significantly more empty seats at yesterdays game that could have been sold.Their ground has a safety certificate for around 32,300. The crowd yesterday was 28,874, meaning 3426 unused seats (10 % of capacity).Certainly not all accounted for by segregation seats.
There a been a big negative reaction to this by the fans(pages on their forum), blaming the club for mismanagement.
Interestingly when we have had around 8% of unused seats for 'sell out ' crowds at the Riverside the general reaction has been a shrug of the shoulder/ reference to 'concourse issues'.
Exactly this. Who cares. Hardly like the ground was empty!Let's not start acting like mackems over tickets sold, there was a chunk of empty seats in our end yesterday as. I'm sure there's a reason for that as well rather than us not selling out.
I would agree.Clearly a % of seats aren’t sold because of stadium configuration, when segregating. That’s all fair. The point being made here is there was significantly more empty seats at yesterdays game that could have been sold.
Brum got 4.5k tickets. That's the norm for Cov's away end. Ours was capped at 2 out of spite/fearStrange because they got 30500+ in their home game vs birmingham on the last day. Yet 2k less for playoffs.
Thats exactly it. They could have given us another 400 or 500 tickets in our end and they chose not to sell the tickets to us in favour of leaving thd seats empty.Brum got 4.5k tickets. That's the norm for Cov's away end. Ours was capped at 2 out of spite/fear
And we're giving them 2000 for a sector which held more last week.There was. They gave us 2,000 tickets for a section that holds about 2,400
