I worked at hat TV shop in the early 90s for a while it was crazy to see the amount of people checking the results . We would have the teletext on . Also we would see the visiting fans crawling up Walsgrave Road and give them a little smile and a welcome to Cov hand gesturers. Also Killer rented...
I was watching the highlights this week a was thinking the same the press area is so much space wasted and just looks wrong compared to other newer stadiums . And we sit bellow the balcony and was amazed to see how empty it is /was .
If you have never been over that side of the ground before it would be a good experience .
But I think you can find much better value for money doing something else .
I was also in club Wembley that day a few seats along from me was Anne Lucas . (At the time one of most derisive figure amongst Coventry fans) It was definitely a chance to show the owners and football world the potential the club would have .
Greenery has ongoing costs with upkeep that's why you see less of it and more bricks and concrete . Just look at old photos of Coventry center and parks from the 60s 70s 80s to see the changes .
